Makes you wonder though in that roughly 12 players in the modern game are mid-fielders. Where did they go in our VFL team? Simplistic but you would think we would at least have 4-6 to pick from.

demoniac 1,337 Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Jordan Lewis should be dropped. Just too slow to be a medium defender and does not have the skillset to be a defender. Not a great spoiler or tackler. Not all midfielders can play in the backline in their twilight years. Still as a great of the club we must nurse him to 300 games! Which Adelaide Half Forward will put 5 metres on Lewis in 10 metres and snag a goal this week? 1 Quote

Although I appreciated his effort and attack on the ball in 2015 there is nothing about him that makes him an auto in. When playing he averaged 15 disposals, 4 tackles and half a goal per game. Nothing special, nothing better than JKH or Hannan. He is no more experienced than JKH or Hannan, all with around 30 games. He has never played under Goodwin and hardly trained with them, meaning he won't know our system/ structure/ game plan He may have limited endurance due to his time out of the game. Although we're live him for nostalgia reasons - he tried hard for us when we were horrible - he isn't asuperstar or walk up 22 player, so given he is underdone rushing him in makes no sense. I remember him taking strong grabs, and knocking the stuffing out of players at the contest. I liked him. Still do. He's a hungry young man. 3 Quote

We were right behind that and my recollection was he did actually have someone close to him. But maybe I'm simply failing to remember correctly? He was reasonably close but not close enough to put pressure on him. 1 Quote
Deespicable 2,886 Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Harmes is a big loss, but another soldier goes down ... To me that means we have to bite the bullet and play Vanders, even if it is a week earlier than planned. We need another big body at night and assuming we give Tyson more game time this week (only played 63%), then Vanders should be able to cope with about 65% game time bashing into players. The other in is the certain one - Wagner. He comes in for JKH, but obviously won't play his wing. It just means that Spargo spends a bit more time on wing. Wags inclusion means he can play on one of their talls when needed (given Adelaide's big size) and also means the coach has to do what I've advocated all year - send Bernie forward where his smarts and lip can come in handy and we all know he loves a goal (and a laugh or even a smile). But on a serious level, we should be trying to manufacture a match up that sees him picking up Laird a fair bit of time. B: Jetta Oscar Jordy HB: Smith Frost Salem Mid: Jones Brayshaw Fritsch HF: Vince Hoges Melksham F: Garlett T.Mac Petracca Ru: Gawn Oliver Tyson Int: Wagner (def), Spargo (fwd/mid) AVB (fwd/mid) ANB (fwd) Quote

What 18,810 Posted July 23, 2018 Author Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Sounds like Harmes will play. If not at least he will only have 1 game off. When I saw the news I thought he may be done for the season. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-07-23/demons-mid-set-to-play-despite-unlucky-break Edited July 23, 2018 by Petraccattack Quote

Neither has done much of anything at AFL level i love how people think that average VFL players can fix our ills Quote
