Still no Preuss. 

Unbelievable. 

Quite a few very lucky players I reckon.

why recruit a bloke  build up his image, then not play him. Strange!

i watched the first three quarters last week And just got more despondent the more the game went. Just kept coming out of the centre in the third and they got goals! 

Can anyone who watched tell me what the matchup or position changes caused us to start playing with purpose in the forth 

can we play with those positions to start the game this week !!

Go Dees but I am still despondent!

I’m honestly stunned as to what the FD see in smith over the Weid. He’s played 2 vfl games and dominated in both of them. 

hasn't exactly "dominated" but they were okay

The absence of Preuss amazes me ... should be included if only to relieve Max in the bathroom heat of Darwin

Still one Spargo FFS, he was pathetic!

Yeah well ASTOUNDING!

Speaking to a great mate of mine who played almost 200 games many in the red and blue, he said he had never ever seen a small man so lacking in Pace, and Skill for a small man ! This from a VFL /AFL player who should know!

Astounding!

Not to mention  sticking with Smith over Weeds
Pft season done but suffice to say lets get some integrity in selection!

Baffling!

I’m trying to do the same for Brisbane game..... 

[Cards13 9,117]

I do hope Weid is a late in due to an injury for 1 of the 3 named on the bench. Will be our most balanced looking fwd line all season.

Mitch Hannan apparently on board to darwin and so is salem 

I reckon hannan is one of the important players we have been missing this year. 

I think he's in our best 22 and great when firing, but he isn't a consistent performer yet and i recall him being dropped at least two times last year. The oft remarked piece of cliche/wisdom is a players stocks grow more rapidly when they're out injured.

Salem, Hannan and Hibberd all bring much needed experience back into our side. The Hannan selection to me is smart, get him and straight into AFL fitness.

This moment still gives me goosebumps.

[Deecisive 1,709]

so who is James Jordan??

Was it really that simple, did they rest anyone in the centre ?

A rookie on our list who some peanuts have already written off.

+414 games experienc net... amazing to think Petty, Lockhart and Wagner total only 11. Hopefully going to get some much needed leadership and direction.

Petty medial strain, was limping durin 4th Qrt and reported after. He didn't train

Lockhart is a mystery

We can rule out leather poisoning

Why does Lever look like he just got out of a prisoner of war camp? Puny, pale, unwell-looking. His arms and legs look wasted. Why hasn’t he been in the gym building up his physique in the 12 months he’s been injured/in rehab?

Crows with Gibbs,  Lynch and Jenkins in.... Lynch is a big in,  hopefully underdone 

We should get their fitness guy, Lynch only misses a week with a hamstring???

[buck_nekkid 5,861]

Three really good additions.  Hopefully they add some experience, polish and skill in their three respective roles.  We  might see up to 11 changes from round 8-9 to round 12-13.

[binman 42,972]

I'm not one usually to get too discombobulated about selections but i'm bamboozled by Spargo getting a gig ahead of JKH. Flummoxed even.

Was an emergency after struggling at VFL level, gets a late call up and puts in a stinker.

Maybe genetics? Dustin Fletcher was never a beefcake

Adelaide with the 3 best possible Ins really: Gibbs, Jenkins and Lynch.
