Preview R16: Changes vs. GWS Giants

[Kane McGoodwin]

Should be trying to get meetings with both players while they are in town

Need to give them both an offer too good to refuse.

 

[Faaarrk]

At least Cook is still there. Now to get him playing more central of the ground.

I think Cumming is more likely than Perryman given his close friendship with Tex. Also never been as cemented in their best 22 as Perryman.

Still don’t know how anyone even remotely attached to football down there can compare a footballer like Murphy to Taylor and still think dropkick is a better option. Only slight positive is Murphy down to sub is at least maybe something given how they do things down there as that’s usually the last move before they drop someone.

Probably confirms Schoenberg’s never going to be a permanent fixture in this team will always rotate between half-forward, sub and dropped until delisted, also would love to know what standards Chayce Jones is hitting to be in the side. Can’t wait for Berry to be subbed for Murphy in the 3rd quarter after having 9 disposals at 45%.

The only game Murphy has been in and we have won is against West Coast. He played in the SANFL when we defeated both North Melbourne and Port Adelaide. He missed Carlton win due to injury.

"when we talk about playing the kids, I think we have about 4 left...." - Edwards, Curtin, Taylor, Bond, Ryan, Galllagher and Pedlar.

"I think we are the youngest team in the comp the last few weeks..." - Highly doubt that too.

Excuses, caveats, blame shifting.....

Appropriate Adelaide celebrates the World Potato Congress given our side has them in spades.

His pressure is important

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Oh goodie, Curtin named at full back in the SANFL.

We spent pick 6 on a full back! Really?

And here I thought he could be a tall mid.

They literally don’t have a clue. Godden is part of the problem as well - pig headed and stubborn, short man syndrome.

Actually I’d like Curtin to come out and say “I’m out of here, get me traded and here is why…..”

"Daniel himself will admit he's got a lot to work on and has really embraced the challenge of building his his defensive learnings.

"Micky Godden has really challenged Daniel to play deep defense and get physical, taking all the attacking creative play out of his game"

"We need Daniel to build his DNA for the contest at the lower level before we can see him shine at the senior level"


I feel physically ill knowing that Nicks will be likely to trot that out at any moment...

I assume he's talking about those yet to debut, but even then, Curtin playing two games that he was subbed out in hardly counts!

I do believe we have been one of the youngest teams recently, but it's such a pointless stat given that guys like Murphy are only mid 20s. It'll take another home loss to see Taylor come in I reckon (it would be classic Crows for him to debut against the Lions at the Gabba), the club just thought we would move on during the bye.

 

[ABAB]

Nicks doesn’t care about the club, only himself.

Are you sure? Looks like he is tanking lol.

 

[BRL121]

What are you on about?
Loss to tigers, swans and soon to be GWS

Look at the tense in your post.

I wouldn't pay much attention to the team sheets, I don't think any club takes them seriously these days. Should just put out a list of 23 players and be done with it.

Keays has been named as a starting mid most of the season, just as one example.

 

[BRL121]

Yes, but this is going beyond being their being stupid and wrecking the future.

They're actually sabotaging the future of our club at this point. Hampering the possibility of any future success. And for what?

To cling to the delusion that they'll be able to build a 'positive narrative' with a few late season wins? To try to con us through the gates again with sugar hits?

They're vandals. We can't just accept this.

But it's you who wants to riot!

 

[texanmike]

didn’t see the banner picture for this thread until now, hilarious Murphy never in doubt

 

[robboaustralia]

The fact that he can’t make this extremely average side makes me think more and more that he’s leaving tbh. I mean how can you not make this team right now at this stage of the season

The unshaven look at his press conference makes me think he has given up and gone.

 

[cleanhands]

Good for him

 

[MRB37]

Doubling down? Or just pushing the same shit up-hill cause he truly has no idea what else to do?

 

[Southerntakeover]

Who ****ing cares if we 'find form' now?

We don't need to find form now. Finding form now is contrary to our club's interests.

 

[MRB37]

We don't need to find form now. Finding form now is contrary to our club's interests.

But it is very much in the short term interests of those in charge.

 

[NTRabbit]

I like that we're continuing to play Himmelberg whenever available despite the fact that he is leaving end of season, and we tried to get rid of him as not good enough for us last season

Our club is providing most of the key note speakers, including an opening address by Nix on spud maximisation.

 

[SLOWNE]

I hope Balme comes in and looks at Nicks like I look at my boots after I step in dogshit whilst mowing the lawn. Pure disgust.

They actually modeled their logo on his head. Minus the fly.
