Prediction Round 1: Changes Vs Adelaide Crows + pre-match discussion

[Piggy Smalls]

It was hard to tell on TV but I’m pretty sure Frederick was playing out of the goal square as a full forward a fair bit during the scratchies. I think he’s a nightmare matchup deep forward and want to to see him line up close to goal. He had 10 shots on goal across the 2 games for 6.4 I’m pretty sure

Played a bit the same as Stephenson was when at the Pies.

Sturt did the same, it’s a speed thing to get to a loose reefed ball into deep forward 50.

I can remember Ballas playing FFwd in exactly the same scenario at times.

Wouldn’t be a permanent fixture I think!

You forget how good Stephenson was in that first season and a half at the pies before the betting scandal. My goodness he was electric at times. What an absolute waste of talent since then

Pick 4 after 2 priorities.
Hasleby pick 2, priority pick

1999 draft

Pav was overlooked in the 1998 draft but he was just 16 then. It was different back then - it seems clubs didn’t value the draft as much and the AFL somehow allowed random players nominate and get picked up as u17s.
I mean, in theory couldnt Chris Judd have been picked in 2000 as an u17? If he chose to nominate.
Dangerfield was also picked as a u17 player in 2008, he should have been in the Fyfe/Dusty draft if todays rules were in place.
Imagine that in modern day drafts - if clubs could reach into the future with later first round picks to select the likely number one pick the following year. We could have grabbed sam Walsh in 2017 with pick 5 instead of Cerra, the possibility are endless!

Stephenson was sensational in the North/WC game. He's not done yet.

All in the head with him. He’s got the talent but it’s his mentality that is under question. I hope he goes well this year and gets the best out of himself.

Well with Lobb, Wilson and Tabs out it makes it a little easier for the selection committee I guess

Lobb injured as well?

Strained heart muscle

 

[Clemen]

To be fair, it’s a small muscle.

I can't see them moving Cox forward and bringing in Hamling; based on how they have trained it is more likely that they will bring Meek in and alternate him and Darcy forward. This will also give them the back up ruck work that they lose by Lobb leaving the team.

Would rather cox forward, can’t play meek Lobb & Darcy in same team

Haha ok, Lobb will be in first 5 players picked

There are reports he is injured.

Great opportunity for those on here who think Meek is better to test that out.

Where is all this injury info coming from? Still nothing online, not even getting Twitter hits when I google Taberner

 

[Piggy Smalls]

We will need a solid 4 quarter effort this weekend. I’m expecting Adelaide to be supremely fit with Darren Burgess now running their S&C program

If you google thewest Fremantle dockers you will see the headline about tabs

JL said Lobb could have come back on in that pre season game, so has something else happened or are you just reading into the West's typical doom & gloom "could be without Lobb too" bs ?

Burgess teams seem to hit their peak 2nd season under him.

He's going off my post.

I was told Tabs did a hamstring on Saturday, Lobb wont be playing round 1 and Wilson is out for 5-6 weeks.

I was hoping it was all rubbish but then it was confirmed Tabs did a hammy last night...
