Prediction Changes: Round 3 Vs Adelaide

[apuchar]

Tabs was able to take contested marks centrally whereas Amiss was leading to the pockets.

I didn't see anything wrong with Draper's game. The first half was a defender's nightmare because of lack of pressure in the midfield so the ball was coming in too fast. After half time the whole backline looked much better.. Re Tabs yes he kicked 2 goals but he also clutters Amiss's line a few times. And if he hadn't maybe Amiss might have had a few more. I would like to see Voss but it really depends on Adelaide's defence. Which I don't know enough about but maybe Tabs is a better match up. I am happy to leave it to the MC but hopefully they at least consider Voss.

I was wondering this about Tabs. Can anyone at the game confirm if Tabs was getting in Amiss’ way? It’s hard to tell from tv

Pretty annoying to be playing a team with a longer break 2 weeks running.

And I think we have a 5 day break before Sydney

We do.

How crap. Why not just put us on Saturday like the 5 weeks before it?

Amiss could have easily had 4 goals and this conversation wouldn't even exist. He was unlucky yesterday.

Strange time 4.30pm Friday.

Will still be high 20's

Then no home games for four weeks

I wouldn’t make changes. You could consider Ras for JOM so that JOM gets a full game under his belt at Peel. Brodie didn’t play yesterday so he could also do with a full game.

Ras back to sub. He was named as one of the best players for Peel. Also Hugh Davies as an emergency because he was named one of the best.

Those match-ups mentioned of APearce on the Texan, Ryan on Fogerty and Draper in Burger is exactly how I’d roll.

Voss and JOM the other two in 26. All 26 can be held over given a Fri evening game and Peel play East Fremantle on Sat.

He's young, but his chasing was a bit disappointing.
He's not Pavlich, yet

We have a -7 differential up to the floating fixture. I hope they look after us at the back end Not holding my breathe though.

How shit is back to back 6 day breaks

 

[Boppo]

Fyfe shouldn’t be rested unless injured and Brodie can be the sub for cover. Everyone else the same.

Adelaide supporters seem very low on confidence going into this and on the team in general. I can't say that fills me with confidence, I reckon Adelaide can and will give us a run.

I think they are a bit like us last year. A few of there older guys are out of form, a few key injuries.

Walker is a shell of how he played last year. Tilthorpe is injured. Midfield is losing the battle, and 1 or 2 out of the backline.

Reshuffle. Treacy has to go back at some point.
Otherwise it’s Pearce v Walker, Ryan v Fogarty and Draper against Burgess.

I like that match up.

I like that match up.

Yeah me too.

Reckon we’ll take care of Crows. The match up on Rachelle and Rankin are more crucial. Have to lock them down.

I reckon Adelaide have one of the best forward lines in the comp, but no midfield and no backline. Geelong (who have the best forward line) also have no midfield but beat Adelaide because they have a better defence or more precisely, Tom Stewart. Our midfield should chop up Adelaide and hopefully the ball will spend most of the game in our forward line and their average defence

Walker looks slow this year, maybe playing injured. . Thilthorp is out. Fogarty can't step up.

Walker was huge last year.

Just building form and fitness. He’s still a one on one beast.
Midfield should dominate theirs.

I've watched game several times now and saw Walker do a number of good things. He used his pace to advantage and dished off some effective disposals. I was very glad to see him back.

EDIT: our Brandon, not the Crows one

How s**t is back to back 6 day breaks

And breakfast time games.

Yeah thought he was good with a few early errors you would expect from a long term injury.

 

[Rhufus]

Should we go easy on Walker seeing it's his first AFL game after an extended break from serious injury?

Ive just watched the game a second time. Walker was really good.

Maybe he was a bit tentative in two contests early on, which is totally understandable. Once he smashed his bandaged knee into the fence, hobbled back on to the ground and found it was all still intact, he really seemed to hit his straps and seemed to gain confidence in it. He had multiple eye catching runs and earned three courageous free kicks in the third quarter which helped us turn the game. Cant recall a direct time he was beaten man on man.

I was there at the G for his horror show against the Pies, so I know what he can be like when he plays a mare but when he plays good we should at least acknowledge it. In fact I would go so far to say this was one of his best games and I`m much more bullish on him than I was last time I saw him play.

Hes a lock for next week and I suspect may be hard to remove going forward. Good on him too.

I suggest the poster would rearrange the deck chairs with Treacy back.

Would personally back Draper against Burgess or the other one. Number 32 forget his name. The porky one ?

32 for the crows? Darcy Fogarty. not a bad accurate kick on set shot goals
