Preview Round 6: Essendon vs Adelaide, Adelaide Oval, Friday 19/04/24 @ 7:40 PM

[Wahooti Fandango]

Based on the VFL I am only considering Hayes / Roberts / Tsatas.

Did not think Shiel did enough. Just cruised around like he was in some sort of match sim getting miles in the legs and half his possessions where easy sideways gets behind the footy. IMO he needed to pull the finger out and show some urgency.

You could give Tastas a go but my view is although he has done what he can to fix the contest issue I do not know if it is a good thing he comes back as a wing. Midfield is his spot.

If they can get 3 or 4 games in a row into Caddy he will make selection interesting.

So like a normal Shiel game.

Worse than some of the normal stuff.

just win

If we win we will be 4-2 going into Anzac day. Not bad

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Adelaide finding form tonight. Dam.

Adelaide finding form tonight. Dam.

I would rather they get their first win now.

All sorts of this

Exactly; perfect result as Carlton lose and Crows won't be under pump for our game.

[ghostdog]

Just saw Crouch's bump. Reckon he's gone.

 

[Fademan77]

Both were going for the ball though? Didn't leave the ground, both heads down. I'd be surprised

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Just watched it. Agree. Gone. Chose to bump, hit the head. Footy actions aren't a defence any more. Just ask 2MP

 

[Howard Moon]

Let's hope Adelaide celebrate too hard and nicks has to pull them out of revs at 7am

 

[wichidi]

Unless Menzie is injured there won’t be team changes. Scott will want some harmony to keep going by keeping the same group playing.

So thanks to yesterday's wonderful results, I had to update the preview thread once again. Great weekend.

winnable pls dont lose

 

[brutus76]

We might "manage" Heppell and anyone who is sore with Anzac Day on the following Thursday

OUT Menzie, Hind (needs a full game in the VFL), Heppell (managed),
IN Setters, Hayes and Roberts

I read;
Out: Heppel (mange)
In: Roberts (no mange)

Plus the fact that they play us this week. No one gets suspended if they are playing us the next week.
It's an AFL written rule

 

[Godzke]

Why are people saying certain players need to be freshened for ANZAC Day?
We have a 6 day break, nothing to worry about.

Out: Menzie (inj)
In: Hind, Tsatas as sub

crouch has a week as it stands, def going to contest it i think

Dawson just a fine. Even though Merrett missed Anzac Day last year due to a similar incident. Chook lotto.

 

[EnolaGay]

Torn about going to this game - Crows supporters at home are the worst.

always is, butters deserved a week but he had nothing to answer for. any other bottom 10 club would be looking at a week or two for something like that.

fate (bias) favors the good

I can’t believe it wasn’t butters.

Last and only time I went to a crows home game I heard some old campaigner call Alwyn Davey Sr a racial slur
Also witnessed a domestic cos a guy drank his de facto's can of woodstock while she was in the toilet
Was round 1 2013.
