Changes vs Adelaide

Recommended Posts

Bernie shouldn’t go for his bump but then NikNat shouldn’t have gone for his tackle so you never know. 

No change.

I like what Bull Smith brings to the table...  18 disposals, 9 hitouts, 5 tackles, 2 shots on goal.  Whats the point of bringing in Pedersen who may or may not replicate Smiths numbers/impact?

NO CHANGE

No changes is my guess but there are three areas for discussion.

1. If Bernie Vince is suspended.. who replaces him.. not sure

2. Does Gawn need more help in the ruck in Alice Spring conditions and are we prepared if necessary to use Tom Mc.... my thought is no change but you can make a case for either Weid or Pedersen replacing Smith who if dropped would be very unlucky. IMO the selectors made the Smtih over Pedersen call this week and they will be happy to roll that dice again.

3. Did Spargo do enough?... not sure but if he is to be rested I would play Bugg before Garlett on VFL form but who knows.

 No changes.

Surely we must go in as favourites against the Crows?

You’d think Jeff comes in for indigenous round. Spargo rested?

I kind of agree. I thaught spargo looked a bit tired but he does chase and harass more than Garlett does. It was when Spargo was kicking for goal that I noticed his tiredness.

No one deserves to be droppped but Bernie had a shocker today. Couldn't hit a target with a 15m kick, botched handpasses and did that stupid kick to lewis when he had Salem free. At one stage stage went to chase an opponent and it just looked like he was running up and down on the spot.

NO CHANGE

Garlett won't get a game just because it's indigenous round he has to earn it.

There should be a dislike button for comments like that Bugg is a spud.

Garlett was in the best players yesterday. I have analysed what Spargo brings

And yes I like his grunt, and being where it is BUT he has no real speed and IMV Jeffy is still STILL IN MY BEST 22

Spargo has a rest this week and Jeffy comes in!

Tom McDonald, surely. That missed shot on goal at the end of the game was unforgivable !!!!!!

Wouldn’t rest Bernie the week we play the crows, he gets up and about for his old side.

Spargo worked really hard applying pressure disrupting a lot of Carlton possession chains, probably deserved a goal or two for his efforts. 

Bull Smith exceeded expectations, settled into the game and gave us a lot around the ground. 

No change unless someone really needs the rest.

If there's any contact to the head - and I think there was - then Bernie is done. 

Either way it's time he has a rest and/or some time at Casey to sharpen up. He started the year remarkably well but has trailed off recently.

Hunt the obvious replacement and he'll give us a bit more overhead which is needed against the Crows - even without 2 of their usual forwards.

No other changes. I'd be shocked if Smith or Spargo go anywhere, they did exactly what they needed to do. ANB back in better touch the last two weeks. Hannan probably the weakest link in the forwards - a bit too fumbly, slipping off tackles and some poor decisions but he got going in the 2nd half.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
