A bigger deal out west.
Also Danniher is a bloody good key forward in his own right when he's healthy. Though, my guess is "**** it, it's a preseason game, let's push them out of their comfort zone".

Yes, I can only think we thought it was more important to teach Murray than Butts for a practice game.
Very on point.
Agree on Hinge and McPherson. Both strong (Brown good as well) in defence.
Good news is Butts couldn't really play any worse. Worst I've seen him play.
Murray still has question marks 1v1, but he was up against a very good (and tall) player. Gets desperate and clumsy sometimes.
Agree on Cook and Pedlar. Looked lost to me. Chasing bodies and couldn't find the ball.
ROB was outbodied in almost every single ruck and marking contest. Horrible game.
Jones started really well and then was hammered by the umps on numerous occasions. Think he lost a bit of confidence after that.
McHenry looked like he was in 2020. He'll bounce back.
Agree on fog. He's not a long bomb forward especially against good tall defenders. Doesn't have the height. I would have him further up the ground linking up play. He's also up against it if that's what it forward entries look like this year. TT will also struggle.
McAdam needs to provide SOMETHING. Had a shocker and he was similar in some games last year.
Sholl lacks confidence on the field since his early games imo. Not going for his kicks as much. He got smothered at one point where he could have easily dummied. Could see that coming a mile away. I think as the team improves he'll get some more outside ball. Then he just needs to take the game on.
Agree that Keays had a stinker as well. Nothing like 2021. Crouch on the other hand looked sharp albeit lacking match fitness.
Re watching the game also highlighted how bloody good Brisbane's tall stocks are. Andrews, Gardiner and Adams is probably the best full back line imo. Then they've got mcstay and Daniher up forward with Hipwood to come back! Bloody hell. Probably the best small forward line in the comp as well. They should really win a flag in the next few years.

BRISBANE v ADELAIDE
ON FIREJarrod Berry was a standout for the Lions, with the midfielder-forward logging 25 disposals, five marks, five clearances and kicking three goals in the club’s big win.
WORK IN PROGRESS
Adelaide needs forward Darcy Fogarty to step up this year, but he managed just four disposals in a quiet game.
NEW ADDITIONS
Brisbane draftee had 12 disposals in a promising first-up performance but then copped a one-week ban for a dangerous tackle from the AFL’s match review officer. Former Geelong ruckman Darcy Fort (10 disposals, six clearances, 14 hit-outs) split the ruck duties with Oscar McInerney for the Lions. Adelaide No. 6 draft pick Josh Rachele had an eye-catching first game for the Crows with 17 disposals, five marks and three goals. Fellow draftee Jake Soligo (nine disposals, three clearances) had his moments.
