My preferred final bench:

Johnson, Moloney, Bennell, Maric

Adelaide Squad.

B: Johncock, Rutten, Otten

HB: Doughty, Bock, van berlo

C: Dangerfield, Goodwin, Mackay

HF: Douglas, Walker, McLeod

F: Porplyzia, Tippett, Vince

R: Griffin, Edwards, Thompson

I/C: Moran, Reilly, Cook, Jacky, Shirley, Stevens, Petrenko

In to 25: Cook, Griffin, Jacky, Moran, Stevens.

Out of 22: Maric, Symes.

simply amazing and confusing that Bartram is in starting 18 rather than the extended bench where moloney and dunn sit who i think were great last week.

Hoping final bench is-

P.Johnson, Moloney, Dunn, Maric but i want bennell in there and flick bartram off

not happy

the official changes are

IN mcDonald

OUT Green

if thats the case how can Cheney and marric be on a nominated bench? don't they have to be included in the "IN'S"?

As much as I'd like to see Maric in the team I think the final bench will be Johnson, Moloney, Bennell and Dunn.

So one change.

In McDonald. Out Green.

Out of 22: Maric, Symes.

some odd selections from adelaide considering the weather forecast. they have named 3 big guys, Griffin, Moran and Stevens but only dropped one big man.

some cat and mouse from Craig maybe?

I think because of Bennell's slight build, you may find Cheney in if the going is heavy, I reckon other three will be Johnson Moloney and Dunn.

Bartram's first two games were very good, if he is doing a tagging job you never notice him, unfortunately last week he got a bit of freedom and his skillset was exposed, think he is a tagger now first and foremost so Bailey may have someone in mind, or help Davey break free from the strong tag he will inevitably get this week

It is obvious that Bartram is doing the job that the coach wants. He is a tagger, every side needs one.

IMO - he is doing a good job so far this year.

If the conditions are windy and rain were going to need lots of speed on the deck and run and carry. And especialy good footskills so id pick bennel over cheeney.

Poor Maric. He will struggle more to get into the team when we get Grimes, Bucks Macca and Wona back. He is really having to earn his spot, which can be a good thing for a young pup.

That may the case, but when opposition coaches start to istruct therir team to allow Bartram all the space in the world in the hope he receives the ball(this used to happen to Godders), when do his negatives start to outweigh his positives?

My preferred final bench:

Johnson, Moloney, Bennell, Maric

I agree, but I feel for Dunn if he gets dropped. I thought he did alright last week. But hopefully this is the final bench.

Mind you, I'm not entirely sold on PJ yet. If he lapses back into his Rounds 1-3 form then we might be looking at Spencer again.

I couldn't believe that Dunn would be in front of Bennell given last week's game.

For some teams they list all the ins, for others, they just list the ins that are starting. Maybe it's the way they're submitted by the clubs.

Agreed.

Looks like a Daniher Bench to me. Name 7 because you have to and then lop the 3 kids (notionally) stuck on the end.

He must have left his "Selection Protocol" exercise book behind when he vacated the portable.

Maric should be in the starting 18.

if he gets the chop, it will be a joke.

Maric, Spencer, Cheney to miss.

I know he's not very likeable, but Bartram has done his job this year.

given the extended bench that was named, I think that's how it will play out... Really want to see Maric play, but unfortunately it won't be this week...

Maric should be in the starting 18.

didnt you say that last week

but yeh he better play or il crack it.

Maric should be in the starting 18. if he gets the chop, it will be a joke.

Deja vu from last week. It will have to be head over the ball on Sunday. If its wet which is more than likely I would like to see Maric in. He can hold his feet and played ok in wet last year he might create havoc up forward. Hard to crack into winning side though.

It's a very tough interchange to choose from.

3 Definites are Johnson, Moloney and Bennell. I want Maric to play, but I have a feeling he'll sit out for another week. I thought Dunn showed a bit last week, so i'd be disappointed if he got dropped as well. Bennell should definitley play, but I have a feeling he's less likely than PJ or Moloney.

Maric played in the wet last year vs Geelong and his ball use was a class above anyone on the field, including Ablett Jnr.

In just his 3rd game of footy he had 23 classy touches, 5 marks and 4 inside 50's. This against a brilliant Cats team.

Must play this week.

He is being wasted at Casey.

I cant see Maric coming in till someone has a stinker. Dunn, Bartram did their jobs last week, why would Bailey drop them.
