Good to see McGuane & Polak back particularly.

Tivers has earned a recall through good performances at Coburg.

Jack deserved to have been dropped after two poor performances. Given very little up front and is clearly not yet ready to play as a key forward.

Overall I am pretty happy but would ideally liked to have seen Polo, Collins or Connors in.
 
Ok,

I would say we have seen Chris Hyde play his last game for the yellow and Blacks. Tivendale was always going to come in but will surely now be on his last chance although Adelaide is th etype of team he could well against (not very physical).

Unlike almost everyone else i this board i was disapointed in Riewoldt's game last week and am not surprised to see him at the Burgers. Mcguane is a good in but with Burton not playing him and Polak both in look a little top heavy.

Showers and 14 might suggest Mitch might come in on the day for one of them or maybe Connors for Mcguane.

Final note - we now have Tiv's Bowden and petts in the team.
 
would have given riewoldt one more shot, but he probably deserved to be dropped. Good to see Polak in...not cos i like him, but he may as well be in the side all year to a) give u some height,
and b) see if hes any good as so as to hold onto him next year.

Good to see Schulz at FF.
And Tivendale deserves his spot...been in coburgs best just about all season.
 
Smart team:thumbsu:

I'm not going to bash Tivdendale. He was put into the ressies and pretty much would have been told he wasn't going to get a game all year and then he played so well the the coach couldn't ignore him anymore. It's probably not going to help the future of our team, but it does reward effort. :thumbsu:

Hyde has been ordinary the last few weeks and had to come out. Jack Riewoldt is a bit of a suprise out, but against Adealide's tall backline, it might be a smart move. He also needs a bit more confidence after that Saints miss. I'm guess they will probably play Polak out of the square.

I would have liked to see Polo in the side for maybe White/Edwards/Tuck/McMuffin but hopefully he will continue to press for selection. Good to see Conners named as an emergency aswell.

Morton did SFA in the VFL 2 weeks ago and didn't deserve a call up, although he was probably still to be dropped for Pettifer in the first place

Great to see McGuane back in team as he never should have been dropped in the first place.

However, bringing in 2 talls and 1 small, for 2 smalls and 1 tall might suggests Morton or Conners comes in for McGuane. Because with Thursty, Schultz, McGuane all playing back, we look pretty tall. Should mean Moore won't have to play above his weight level again

Well I will be there on at the game anyway ....... We need to change.
Tivendale ....... been running around a second level comp and playing ok footy. WOOOOOOOOOOW

I know, why not trade Polo , Connors and Jackson to the Gold Coast .... & Keep Pettifer ... Tivendale and Tuck for our next crack at the 8 .

Is this a Terry call or a Miller call . :mad:

Ok we might win and I said might win ..........wheres the future ?

and dont say Tivendale an older bigger body ...... never seen him get a hard ball yet.
 
Final note - we now have Tiv's Bowden and petts in the team.

Agree that Hyde won't play another game for the RFC

Not too many changes to the round 1 team really then is there?

Off the top of my head:
Out: Raines, Johnson (injured), Jackson, Hughes, Howatt

In: White, Edwards, McGuane, Cotchin ????

More then I thought actually
 
I tell you what concerns me about Adelaide is there backline, they just run it out so well, I really felt that blokes like Jack and Morton would be the ones that could run with Johncock, Bock, Bassett and co, Our forward line seems a touch slow with Schulz.

good to see im not the only fan :).
Btw...whos the new Man City manager?
Mark Hughes.
Jack is stiff to be dropped. Edwards was given more chances than him.
Bowden, Petts and Tivendale in the same team. We haven't learned much have we?

:DCan't see the likes of Johncock, Bock, Bassett etc. running too freely out of defence....not with the pressure and hard-running applied by Petts and Bowden.
Their defensive pressure is legendary!
 
White and edwards were lucky, the backline is still a worry with king, moore, and jordy being so loose, they need to pull there socks up and concentrate on stopping their opponent.

Schulz is a better runner than 'up-and-down-in-the-one-spot' Jack. I'm with Peej, JR deserved to be dropped. Has done SFA for weeks now.
 
Looking at the team, I would say that there would almost defiantly be a late change, probably Polak, Patto or McGuane

Look at all our talls:
Rucks: Simmo, Patto
Backs: McGuane, Thursty, Schultz, Moore, Bowden
Fowards: Richo, Polak

Pretty top heavy :eek:
 
glad to see that wallace isn't as short sighted as most of you - and dropped 3 players who were probably the three worst players over the past 2 weeks, and not the scapegoats pettifer and bowden:thumbsu:
 
For Adelaide, Burton and Griffen are out, McKreggor and Jericho are in.

For this reason I wouldn't be suprised if Pattison is dropped. The Crows are going into match with one ruckman (maric) and one foward/ruckman (tippet)

However we were killed in the ruck against the cats in which we didn't play patto. Patto would also be pretty useful against Marich who is only 198cm and Tippet who is an inexpirenced ruckman
