Preview Changes vs Adelaide

[Benno_900]

IN: Grima, Thomas
OUT: Wright, Majak

I really want to see a 2-tall forward line. We look so much slicker.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Might be for the best. Blast Wood's niggle and all the touching.

 

[The Nostradamus]

I'd drop wright and Adams.
Will think of the ins later.

This perfect, Anthony to get another week, was solid enough, better decision making going forward, besides one in the def 50 we won't talk about.

 

[koshari]

anyone reckon spud will go? i hear he was booked?

 

[Benno_900]

I'd like to see Anthony get a full game but don't see a suitable alternative as sub.

He isn't completely useless as sub which makes him a good one.

Appears better than last year.

 

[Carnthe]

Didn't think Wright did too much wrong

Perhaps Adams (form/concussion?) for Jacobs.

Daw for LT.

Wonder if Spud or Thommo will be in trouble... If so then hopefully Grima could cover them.

 

[Blanket_melb]

Was wondering if Grimas absence has made us appear more quick coming out of defence. I rate the experienced defender highly, I'm just curious to know if his injury has allowed a more agile backline to appear?

An inform Wells or Harper would be great for adams atm

 

[roonskins]

Jacobs for patch if he does not come up ,leave maj alone for now,and give LT another week to make sure his hammy is ok (just to be on the safe side)if suds cooked bring in a bit of grime.

 

[franjon]

Not sure if some North Supoorters are on the same page in wanting Adams out but I'd be getting rid of Wright, that's about all. Too slow to be an AFL footballer. He has reasonable skills, but he's too slow.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Despite having his haters, Wright was far better than Patch tonight!

LA deserving of his spot too - that turnover goal was just as much Adams fault as LA's, Adams needed to attack the ball at its highest point rather than wait for it.

 

[Moti]

Gee, tough for Maj. Showed great footy nous in the first, implodes with the rest of the team in the second then gets subbed when we actually played well.

And the Black incident, thought his initial idea to run was the right one as he would have struggled to get to Black with the opposition players position. Don't mind the run in towards goal either, showed the confidence he has lacked.

May miss simply due to circumstance.

Wright out is the first with Thomas in.

With Tarrant just returning and Wood missing, not sure which forward would replace Daw?

 

[shinboner magic]

Outs- Daw and Wright

Ins Thomas and Jacobs

I cant wait to get Tarrant back ,in the media they wonder why the forward line has not fired this year. Add tarrant ,it will fire big time,his inclusion just spreads the oppisition defenders a little bit thinner .

 

[Daz]

Can't drop Patch on one bad performance. He's having a very underrated season imo.


OUT: Wright, Daw
IN: Thomas, Grima

Only if Narni is 100%. Don't want to mess with his confidence by playing him underdone. I'd strongly consider a game in the 2's for him. If he comes in, we return Dal to the midfield which improves us imo.

Wright was OK but you need to be better than OK to keep your spot in a good side.

Playing small could actually give Adelaide some headaches. They'll want Talia vs Petrie but if we go small that leaves the slowest man in the world, Ben Rutten, on Aaron Black.


Thompson vs Walker
Grima vs Jenkins
Hansen vs Podsiadly
Atley vs Betts
Mullett vs Cameron
Firrito/McDonald vs Martin/Lyons

Petrie vs Talia
Black vs Rutten
Thomas vs Brown
Adams vs Jaensch
Nahas vs Laird
Harvey vs Kerridge
Resting mid vs Otten

As above, I suspect they'll send Kerridge to Harvey. I think it's a matchup we can exploit. Kerridge hasn't shown an ability to hurt his opponent the other way so far (watch him kick another 6).

Goldstein Swallow Dal Santo Cunnington Ziebell Greenwood Gibson Bastinac
vs
Jacobs Dangerfield Thompson Douglas Sloane Smith Mackay

Doubt we'll tag Dangerfield. Standard tactic we take with his type is to rotate our powerful guys in Levi and Ziebell on him. Would like to see Gibson go to Smith or Sloane but I highly doubt I'll get my wish there. Douglas another very good player we need to be wary of.

 

[Smoocher]

Has no one factored in the fact that Thompson will not play. Hansen or Firrito on Walker scares me.

 

[Works atErrol St]

I really find it hard to see who could be dropped.
For everyone's sake we need to give Jacobs a game. His performances must be rewarded.
Of course LT's in our best forward line, but will he be fit to play?
So
out: ?
in: Jacobs

 

[Zondor]

Yeah thanks for that Schimma. :stern look

How will it be graded? Reckless and low impact? What does that get you? Remembering the Viney incident got judged as medium impact, can't see it being graded anything but low.

 

[Smoocher]

Agree, will graded as low and would normally be a reprimand with say 80 points but due to bad record will push him over 100 points meaning minimum of 1 week.

 

[True North]

Nobody misses 1 week with a hammy do they? So LT won't be back.

Scotty is gone, repeat offender this year so no mercy will be shown when grading.

Other than that, I'd bring in Jacobs for Adams.

 

[Dirty_11]

Agree, will graded as low and would normally be a reprimand with say 80 points but due to bad record will push him over 100 points meaning minimum of 1 week.

Didn't he lose his carry over points after the Cloke incident?

 

[Nevbuster]

Maj out, not to just can him but the forward structure works better without him and he needs to build his football brain at Werribee. Thomas in. Patch out because he always looks like he's playing in pain, Jacobs in because he deserves his spot. Grima will probably need some running in the twos first.

 

[Marstermind]

Out: Daw, Wright, Thompson (susp)
In: Grima, Thomas, Jacobs
