Preview No Changes vs Saints

[woundedcrow]

you're pharkin kiddng me?

lose by 10 goals no changes?

tippet curse getting to our coaches heads!

 

[JP Sauce]

Ahh, the classic "you don't drop a player after just one or two, or three bad games unless they're young or were the sub" policy

 

[Wood_Duck]

Has travelling emergency been named?

 

[amer]

hahahaha...

Some of these complaints, so good. So delicious.

From the 14 year wait to debut a first year draftee to the obvious Cameron Ellis-Yolmen-sized chasm in our...is he competent in any position yet?...to attacking the club for imaginary omissions, you've truly the best of no worlds if you're looking for brains or meritorious opinions from the bigfooty adelaide board's....finest?

I tip my hat to king elvis, roo2macca, slippery pete, hey shorty, drugs are bad mackay, wood duck and many others I couldn't possibly list off with such little time on my hands. You've...well it's really something.

 

[Thylacinus]

I will wait until after this game to make my assessment. Out of the 25, CEY is the most unfortunate. We missed some easy shots last week, which should have had us in the game. We also conceded too many easy goals on the rebound. Our consistent fourth quarter fade outs are a concern after being touted as extra fit all pre-season. If we get flogged this week, the gloves are off and I will join the (metaphorical) lynching party. This game is the final litmus test as far as I am concerned.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

That's well and good, but why didn't the 22 v Port get the same chance - or the 22 v Geelong?

Makes no sense whatsoever

If the same thing happens this week and the team remains unchanged for the following week I'll be joining in with you.

Surely people can understand why he's done this for the saints game tho.

 

[Tarasque36]

So, this 22, that lacked another tall forward option will be put up against St. Kilda this week. No tall inclusions... no match up for Rutten... Talia on Riewoldt, Stanley way too quick- must be Hartigan. Saints with smalls in their forward line, with the roof closed. Would they actually put Rutten forward with that 22 named?? No, surely not, we wouldn't see any surprises from this coaching outfit.
OK, lets look forward to bombing it long to Betts and Petrenko! (Petrenko cant even mark above his head when he's alone, let alone an opponent near).

 

[Captain Poopybum]

Late changes you ****ing morons.

No, not when he didn't do it for the earlier losses - I don't understand it at all

 

[mattymac]

Sando's becoming quite the comedian

 

[StonesThrow]

The only change I wanted was petrenko.

Who else would people call for? Reilly wasn't flash but we know he is, for some reason, almost an instant selection.
No one really stood out to be dropped, even though we played so poorly.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

It's round 4. Regardless of what happened in the previous rounds I can accept Sando giving the players a chance to redeem themselves so early in the year. Better now than round 20.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

there are 3 fitness tests tomorrow morning before the side departs for Melbourne and the good info is that it is likely that 1 or 2 of the players will struggle to get up

so expect further decisions to be made tomorrow morning

 

[Truck25]

I wonder who the sub will be as Matty Crouch is named in the middle (and rightly so). I was hoping it was pet's but Grigg is named last???

The last named player on the bench is rarely an indication these days. Hopefully it's petrenko.

 

[creme_fraiche]

I've found a way to make sense of many of the clubs failings or strange decisions. Whenever you read, view or listen to anything to do with the AFC and decisions they've made simply play the Benny Hill theme song ad nauseum in your head. You go from wanting to punch everything in a 5 mile radius to actually being mildly entertained.

 

[JP Sauce]

Late changes you ******* morons.

Late changes due to injury still means that no one is being dropped for last weeks debacle.

 

[Paladin]

We had quality options to bring in Douglas, Laird, Reilly (cough), Jenkins that could add to the side. This week nobody to bring back and the only real obvious omission was Petrenko and I like he gets 2 cracks at it.

Sando is laying it all on the line and telling the boys they made the mess fix it. Nice and gutsy move.

Win this get Lynch and Tex back in the coming weeks and we can get our season moving.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Mildy pissed that CEY didn't come in for Petrenko. A debut game against St.Kilda at ES would have been a good opportunity to expose CEY's weaknesses, as it would've given the coaches something to work with and hopefully allowed them fast track his development.

you kidding me ! ......when did CEY become a crumbing forward to replace Petrenko .....seriously

Aren't we just elevating Lynch to be a bit beyond his capabilities to be more important to the team than the reality is

 

[Paladin]

Really hope Pup can stick it up everyone he has played a lot more good footy for the AFC than anyone will give him credit for. Another north moment would be delicious.

Given Griggs performance YTD ...IF HE PASSES his fitness test I'd make him Kermit

 

[Paladin]

I don't reckon leading goal kicker last year and his lead up play and hard running to get behind opposition defence is outstanding. Missing his link up.

He provides those easy goals that we never generate! Great quality to have.

Reckon Grigg will be a late out for CEY...
