Preview R24 | Sydney vs Adelaide | SCG - Sat 24/8 @ 7:40PM AEST | We need to prove a point (unlike last year)

[LukeParkerno1]

Hopefully he doesn’t get a finals gig

Been a terrible recruit let’s be honest

Hasn’t done a thing

Was important when we were 13 and whatever wins. He’s had a couple of down games, yet against the Dogs/Port despite us being trounced was the only one doing anything in the middle.

 

[kneecapper]

Terrible timing for Fox to go out injured last week. I don't see how he gets back with the troops returning, he's just outside the Best 23 now imo

He's still the ideal sub for finals imo, we really need cover if one of our defenders go down, especially Rampe.

Maybe on his week off Tmac can re-learn how to mark and kick.

Lol still pissed about him blocking Parker for the first few weeks of the season when we were 13-1? LOL

And Parker comes in a shits all over him LOL

How Adams going the last 4 weeks

Parker in 1 quarter goes into the middle the last 2 weeks and has more impact than Adams does for a game

 

[Punts]

How’s Adam’s resting on the flank going?

Liability stuff

Whole team isnt exactly in consistent form aye, pinning it all on Adams is not on.

I’m not but he had been absolutely garbage

 

[Kbroome]

Very telling on here that people have a blind eye for some and a soft spot for other players form dependent

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This but everyone on here hates the idea of him as the sub. Covers everything. Either Fox or Cleary as sub

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I’m not but he had been absolutely garbage

The last couple of weeks yes. Without him we don’t win half the games early on- he creates space for your Heeney, Gulden, Warner types

 

[Kbroome]

I’m not but he had been absolutely garbage

If you go off the last 5 games then there is about 8 blokes in a worse form than that of Adams, just because he was a newby and hasn't allowed Gus to get into the side and people pile on him.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

I wish they'd ditch the blue vest / red vest pictures.

Takes away all the excitement from team selection.

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

What a master stroke by Horse !

This is why he’s paid the big bucks and we’re here posting on BF.

Keep em all in and get the chemistry right. That’s the priority.

Then, when everyone least expects it, the ultimate coaching manoeuvre is about to be unveiled.

For the qualifying Final - expect half of the team to be rested for the prelim and the other half rested 2 weeks later for the GF.

You see in order to win a flag, you need your fastest, fittest and freshest all firing at the right time.

It’s not like there’s any real challenge before the GF.

Arrogant coaching is winning coaching.

Couldn’t be more excited !

Yours in speed, JHWF.

To be honest Gus hasn’t shown much at senior but how Adams keeps getting games with his form is beyond me

He can’t play forward, skills are extremely poor and no forward craft and he can’t get his hands on it in the middle

 

[swanssince2002]

If they willing to hold onto Mills in the seniors after a slow start, they pretty much have to hold onto Adams after a lean trot as well. No two ways about it.

To the MCs eyes, Adams is not part of the fringe players. Hes a vet and MC has shown in the past that they wont drop vets after 2 bad games. It is what it is.

I’m talking about Adam’s

 

[Olian]

m


If he drops Adams who will you bitch and whinge about ?

No specific order but McDonald, Francis, Rampe, Heeney, Gulden, Grundy, Cunningham, Lloyd. Warner, Hayward, McLean, Rowbottom, Florent, Blakey, Roberts, Mills, Jordon, Amartey, Campbell, Melican, Cleary could be on the list.

Parker is ok.

Hahahaha

Haven’t seen yiu in the Parker thread go giving it to him

Must be shutting you up , not hard to do I bet

Can you see how everyone got completely confused when you said "To be honest Gus hasn’t shown much at senior [level]"

 

[Maddo11]

Would have like to have seen Hayward Grundy and Blakey rested at a minimum...

 

[SeanM]

Even though I would have liked Grundy and Hayward rested, I can understand why they weren't.

For the last game prior to finals, they would have wanted to play our main ruck and our best forward. Otherwise it alters the team's structure too much.

 

[Olian]

If you rest this week then next week off. Play first final and win you could end up in a preliminary playing your second game in 5 weeks. Maybe too much time off.

The counter argument to that is, one week at a time, no point planning for another week off that you might not get. But also if you do win week one you can do a heavy training run or a scratch match against the magoos in the second week...
