Preview Rd 2 Adelaide V Geelong, Fri 22nd Mar 2024 7:40pm @ Adelaide Oval

[CatToTheFuture]

Bruhn has a test with foot sprain so might be straight swap

The same one he did in the first quarter? He played out the game pretty well

 

[Goggin Our Best]

Geel v Ade games over the journey - the home side are very dominant

It will be a good win if Geel do win , because i think Ade will have too much pace and agility for Geel all over the ground

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

What i would like to see

If they are adamant Bowes is 100%

In Bowes Out Tuohy
Sub Duncan with Mannagh getting a full game

If he isn't 100%

In Neale Out Tuohy
Sub Duncan with Mannagh getting a full game

Surely Duncan won’t be the sub. He was pretty good last week. Would be ridiculous making him the sub.

Tex Walker will be back this week. Hopefully SDK can look after him.

We can hope but I fear tex will kick a bag on him.
SDK has continued on from last years form unfortunately.

Based on SDK's effort last week no way he plays on Walker. I would start with jack Henry or Kolo

 

[Zuta]

Bowes still listed as 1 week on the Cats Injury update so might be unchanged.

I agree about SDK but tex will destroy Kolo.

 

[Lana]

We'll win the midfield battle and the match

 

[Vdubs]

I agree about SDK but tex will destroy K

Tex and Fogarty both back this week- they will be a different unit compared to last, plus they have been heavily scrutinised. If we win this, it'll be reminiscent of 07. We rarely beat Adelaide in Adelaide. I think we can hope for a win, but could hardly expect it. Need SDK to live up to his potential. Surely TDK is the better DK at present. Would not have thought that possible in 22.

Stengle out for mannagh, Bowes for 2E. Something not right with Stengle. Clark sub. I think at home the Cows win this one by a few goals.

Frustrating after his terrific pre season form.

Lol at dropping Stengle. Ridiculous.

SDK was very good last week.

Fact check.

Won 2 of our last 3.

 

[Lingsface]

Who plays on Rankine?

 

[catempire]

Post injury report an unchanged side for the early meat tray.

If Bruhn doesn’t get up they’ll bring in Bews.

TMBS.

Bewsy...!

 

[cats_09]

Who plays on Rankine?

ZG?

 

[Lingsface]

ZG?

Guthrie could be good but is he too acttacking in his role now?
I would like to see Atkins on him but we cant afford to lose him from our midfield.....unless Bowes comes in?
Rankine could be the difference of us winning and losing though.

Another thought maybe Mullin he has the athleticism but maybe not the smarts to go with rankine.

I agree about SDK but tex will destroy Kolo.

Kolo is in better form and can see the match up happening, but I think at least part of the poor form for SDK is the structure calling for him to be alone in a 1-1 trying to defend a fast entry in acres of space. He could have done better but I don't think he would ever look good in that structure. Some more time loose intercepting would do SDK well in the confidence stakes though.

I think putting Jack Henry in a 1-1 against Tex is losing proposition. You lose an intercepting and rebound weapon to gain a nil all draw that really is a product of team defence anyway.

That’s a fair point.
I agree about SDK. He was at least flying for Marks on the weekend and wanted to get involved.
I just want to see his amazing 2022 form again.
Man he was good.

I think the whole team was, that's half of why a 21 year old kpd can be borderline AA.
