Can he suspend Ben Stokes?The red hair but really does him no favours.
Maybe chrisso gets confused and suspends Francis instead
Unfortunately we're seeing one of the criticisms of North fans of Scott when he was coaching them. Had his favourites that got games regardless of how out of form they were.Probably also means Weideman stays in. A week for Flip?
It’s not just what you do with the ball, it’s what you do without it and where you fit in the system (such as dragging a defender out of their leading lane and not knocking a mark out of their hands).Unfortunately we're seeing one of the criticisms of North fans of Scott when he was coaching them.

Hopefully Flip gets a fine (chook lotto so who knows) and Bryan is in as a forward. The criticism of him is he doesn't have great forward craft and can fade out of a game, but Weid had 2 hitouts and 3 marks for the game, so I'm not sure we lose a lot with him out. Suspect the odds of this happening are pretty damn low
Think this is a fitness thing. Hopefully Scott has carte blanche to hold the fitness team accountable for the current fitness base of our team in the off season and make changes to staff if we're not closing the gap between us and top teams.Feels like we should have won by 70. Win is a win.
True. I've flagged this as an issue for Langford since Wright has come back. They've lead to the same area a number of times.It’s not just what you do with the ball, it’s what you do without it and where you fit in the system (such as dragging a defender out of their leading lane and not knocking a mark out of their hands).
i think langford played pretty well today with regards to wright, didn't really get into each others area in the ground when leadingTrue. I've flagged this as an issue for Langford since Wright has come back. They've lead to the same area a number of times.
My knock on Weid isn't that he isn't trying or getting to the right spots. It's that he's in a massive form slump and drops a lot of marks he would take when he's confident, and looks like he has zero self belief when in front of the goals. Not unfixable, just needs a run in the 2's to build up the confidence with assurances from the coach that he sees him as a best 22 player in the future when he's back in form.
Genuine question, do you think one of our not injured talls in the 2's could be given clear directions through the week and accomplish what you mentioned on game day?
Adelaide have an elite fitness program run by one of the bestThink this is a fitness thing.

Agree, not surprising it's taken a couple of weeks to adjust from him basically being our number 1 forward.i think langford played pretty well today with regards to wright, didn't really get into each others area in the ground when leading
Lavzgaming? Gave him a follow.rumor has it laverde might be streaming tonight, keep an eye out!
oh i agree, i don't think weid had a bad game today, obviously having no goals isn't good but he did have some genuine positives, i can understand that brad scott wants him to get game time and break through it, he just needs timeAgree, not surprising it's taken a couple of weeks to adjust from him basically being our number 1 forward.
My comment wasn't a criticism of Langford, more so acknowledging the positives in Weids game
Anyone potting Parish needs to seriously watch the replay. Yes he turns it over sometimes and his footskills are not elite but he worked hard up and back today and was a BIG reason for the win. Got a 'lazy' 39 touches (same as the skipper), 8 of which were clearance (highest bomber), gained 599m (2nd highest after skipper), 9 i50s (highest bomber), 13 contested possession (highest bomber)... I mean FFS.. what else does the bloke have to do to get respect around here??
We would be absolutely CRAZY to give Parish up.. for any amount of draft picks. And he is only 25.. just hitting his prime.
I wonder what game some of you watch.. dude is legit elite.
See your point but i disagree. Can't fault the endeavour but the execution means teams can cheat defensively. Haven't seen any sign he's going to break through it - seems resigned to missing when in front of goal.oh i agree, i don't think weid had a bad game today, obviously having no goals isn't good but he did have some genuine positives, i can understand that brad scott wants him to get game time and break through it, he just needs time
yeah same, it'll take some time but i hope he hits some good form.See your point but i disagree. Can't fault the endeavour but the execution means teams can cheat defensively. Haven't seen any sign he's going to break through it - seems resigned to missing when in front of goal.
Like I was with Heppell earlier in the year though, hope I'm wrong
