Outs: Borlase, Michaelanny, Walker, Cook

Berg lucky as Tex looks injured.
Keane lucky we are running out of defenders.
Cook needs a rest.

HF: Taylor, Fogarty, Berry
F: Rachele, Thilthorpe, Keays

Ps. Did Hamill play sanfl today? If so, he can be sub

Smith will obviously be an in

Why did Crouch miss the SANFL game? Maybe a straight recall

Worrell and Murray in. I'd bring in Hamill if Max or Hinge get suspended.

Surely we can see Curtin for a full game

Drop Murphy and Himmelberg please, for the love of God
 
What was with our half forwards not chasing. Murphy certainly isn’t in the team for his ball use and now he isn’t even putting on defensive pressure. And Rachele is just a tragedy.

Smith and Crouch both missed with "ïllness" Covid?
 
We all know where this is going. 2 changes.

Smith in for Curtin.

Matthew Nicks is the master tactician so he will realise we went in too tall up forward, so Himmelberg out for Ned "the missing piece" McHenry.

  • Worrell for Max (assuming suspended)
  • Murray for Borlase (horror show unfortunately today)
  • Smith (I’m not kidding myself that he won’t be straight back in) for Himmelberg
  • Dawson for Murphy (let Taylor spend some time in the F50 as I don’t think he’s ready to run out a game as a midfielder yet)

I’d like Oscar Ryan to get a run before the EOY but not Sue that a debut at the Cattery is in his best interests.
 
The bads:
Borlase - just couldn't contain Chol and was badly shown up
Cook - invisible and one of the players that allowed the ball to stream out of the forward line
Murphy - as above
Himmelberg - did nothing

Special mention for Laird who sent us backwards and Berry who did not offer enough.

Ins:
Dawson - replaces Himmelberg
Worrell - replaces Borlase
Murray - replaces Cook
Crouch - replaces Laird in the middle, Laird to HF and Max out due to MRO
Ryan - replaces Murphy
 
Why do we play at this shit hole every year? At least we are in tank mode. What ace will Nicks pull from his sleeve for Stewart. Jones? Murphy? Just end this season already.

I did some stats a couple of years ago and in terms of games there divided by seasons we came out at number one.

I don't know if it's by design or just bad luck, but we're the team that's most likely to be scheduled there each season.
 
Cannot go tall against the Cats as the ground is worse than Unley oval after a week of rain (and we've had bucketloads of rain down here even since their match against the Dogs).
My outs: Laird, Jones, Berg, Murphy, Cook and Borlase
My ins: Dawson, Hamill, Worrell, Murray, Ryan, Crouch. Berry to sub, Curtin into the 22.
