Preview Changes vs Crows

[TooUglyForFugly]

Didn't realise it was Basty's 100th game.

Well done.

For some reason I thought it'd take longer.

His future sons are now belong to us.

 

[Event Horizon]

**** me! If Petrie misses we really are screwed!

Why would Petrie miss?

Oh no... my secret shame..

 

[Northerly]

Does anybody in here, hand on heart think we can win this weekend?

Without doubt. If this week hadn't unfolded as it had then we'd be fretting over the risk of complacency. I expect us to respond like we did when Wells, Swallow and Thompson missed the Freo game. It may not be the prettiest football ever played but we'll grind it out (something that we've conspicuously failed to do in recent outings vs the Crows).

Well done to you for realising it or Bastinac for reaching it? Or both?

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Hows Ziebell and Thomas?

 

[Event Horizon]

No only can we win, we really should do. Adelaide can only win this if they are more switched on than us. They aren't in great form, and their away record against good sides isn't that flash.

Petrie probably got a corky, didnt seem too worrired after the game looked more like the hip area.

Good thanks. Both will play.

The same can easily be said by opposition supporters when talking about us. Probably is.

Apparently a 50-point win is still sloppy and riddled with mediocrity. :shrugs: So that's why I make the comparison.

We have won two more games and are rightfully two places above them on the ladder. We have been inconsistent, but they have been more inconsistent than us.

And away from Melbourne they've had the upper hand. Not seeing where 'really should' is coming from according to past experience.

We will see who plays better in Tasmania I guess because that's a whole different matter.

Don't want to be a party pooper but Kerridge had his 'coming out' under the bright lights of the docklands 'what stadium deal?' superdome.

Tippett won't be selected.

Dat article

"Robbie Nahas is expected to play next week making it ten weeks since he injured his shoulder against the Crows"
It was against Melbourne at the MCG wasn't it?

"The former Tiger has played eight games with the Roos so far this season and could help propel the team deep into September with his forward pressure and goal kicking ability"
Gee, no pressure on a bloke to perform after a 3 month layoff. It's GF or bust for Robbie.

Does anybody in here, hand on heart think we can win this weekend? I for one do think we can. Will have to play well but I think we can. Our backline is stil intact, and so is the forwards line. Midfield will need to be switched on.

We're a chance, but I'm expecting a loss based on no Boomer, no Wells (limited outside run) and injury clouds over Ziebell, Thomas, Grima, Drew, Hansen (if he plays).

Plus the spud Kerridge will come in so we're cactus.

 

[Daz]

Hansen and Turner for Harvey and Wells.

 

[Roos Addick]

Kerridge not named!!!! We are a shoe in!! Woohoooo

 

[Wild Bill]

Hansen and Turner for Harvey and Wells.

No worries with these - need some games into Hanson and to help out with Walker and Turner to bolster the mid field.

No, he played the full game against Melbourne and was injured in the Crows night match.

 

[Wild Bill]

Careful - he is an emergency. They could Waite us!!!

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Emergencies are Wood, Mullet and McKenzie.

Oh god. Not the old "watch me pull a Kerridge out of my hat" trick. I hate that one.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

No Wood but Turner's the next best.

Fair dinkum, for him to get 2 games. I look like a complete goose when I talked back to everyone who thought he could do it.

 

[the big lebowski]

So, Mullett late in for grima then.
