Preview Gold Coast Suns v Adelaide Crows, Saturday 16th of March, People First Stadium, Gold Coast, 7.40pm Adelaide time.

[Jeffcrowe]

His history with subbing Soligo out due to minutes restrictions, even though he was near BOG for us in the game would make me think he'll apply the same principle in reverse.

The only other real option is probably Crouch if they decide to have a plan in turn to up the contested ability if we struggle in that area, but Murphy always fines his way in no matter what, we still need Hinge's flexibility and intercept ability down back and Pedlar hasn't done anything to deserve being made sub.

I can see us subbing out Borlaise and hinge playing tall in second half

Seems to be the go to for alot of teams now to have a smaller more dynamic backline later in games

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Why are people surprised that Curtin, Cook and Nank, all players that actually need more game time, aren't travelling emergencies?

Maybe they didn’t watch the games

Although Nank is one I thought might be more in the plans at this stage

Curtin won’t be long , maybe a month of sanfl

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Hinge isn’t a chance for sub is he ? Maybe that’s another one to consider too

Comes on in second half and adds some run

We've tried the going small thing multiple times over the last 2-3 years and been smashed damn near every damn time. If the very first thing Nicks tries again is going small than he's got no hope.

Umpires
John Howorth (17), Simon Meredith (21), Cameron Jones (41), Nicholas McGinness (42)

No #22 is a win there.

Doesn’t go well from start of game but it’s work v well in second half’s at times

Thankfully there's the SANFL trial game against Sturt Saturday at Thebby Oval 10 AM start for Keane to have a tune up.

Thebby Oval?

Have the residents OK'd this???

We've never once in our history managed players in that way

If there's a young player whose momentum we can stymie with a pointless road trip, we'll do it. Every single time.

They're not in the emergencies because they're not close to being selected.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I doubt that's the case with Borlase personally, more likely Keane's concussion and missing a bit of training etc feeds into that.

Maybe, but Borlase was getting first team reps at training prior to the concussion

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Don’t be surprised if Hinge is the sub

pretty funny if we jump at shadows re Soligo after jumping at them Re Pedlar a month ago

Hinge as sub would be even dumber than Soligo as sub

 

[Jeffcrowe]

From what I’ve seen he’s come on massively

It’s just that he lacks versatility on the types he can play on , playing him and butts is very defensive as they don’t offer anything the other way

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Well , it might be happening

 

[dogs105]

Would show how far he's fallen with a poor preseason

They do seem very similar

Maybe Butts is the one whose position is most vulnerable?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Will we get March-May Sholl?

Or June onwards Sholl?

Would be devastating

Write off one of the big improvements of 2023

I'm certain it won't happen. We surely love his versatility too much

I would absolutely play him this week.

He'd be droppable with a couple of poor games though.

Yep I guess it will also depend on how they go in next few weeks

There’s also the option of Keane Worrell and Hinge / Max / Curtin

Alot to play out

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Will we get March-May Sholl?

Or June onwards Sholl?

Can’t see September Sholl

 

[Danger in Texas]

Will we get March-May Sholl?

Or June onwards Sholl?

Probably the former

Not that it would give me any more confidence in him

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Would show how far he's fallen with a poor preseason

Yep he’s been out worst performed but I’d still play him , back him in etc

 

[dogs105]

Yep. Sad though after how he finished last season.

 

[Scorpus]

Will we get March-May Sholl?

Or June onwards Sholl?

They're the same player, just we forget/ignore his flaws early in the season before we start losing a bunch of games
