Bowey, Petty, McDonald, Lever are the starting backs with Salem, and Riv off the back flanks for the ‘A’ team.

interesting that with mcvee being ruled out for the first part of the season that rivers has been repositioned as a back flanker for the internal trial game 

mcdonald in the 'a team' as may is set to suit up for the indigenous game, i assume

    No Windsor today either so wonder whether Rivers goes back to the midfield once Caleb returns.

    Sparrow kicks truly. ‘A’ side comfortably in control. 

    If they weren't I'd be very concerned

    I’ll try and post some more consolidated thoughts tonight, but we definitely seem to be pressing up the ground on the transition and seem to be more matured with this than we were in the first half of last year. 
     

    Bowey managed to push up and kick a pearler.

    How did Bowey look? I'm hopeful he takes a big step up this year.

    Fritsch with another, takes his tally to 3.1. 
     

    I’m somewhat tentatively going to say Salem is back to his best, looks to be moving very similar to 2021 form and accumulating and distributing well. 
     

    Theres a brief stoppage with the coaching staff addressing both teams. Play resumes with 8:39 on the clock for the second stanza. 
     

    Clarry has been extremely vocal barking instructions in the D50/F50. 
     

    McAdam with a brilliant gather and sleight of hand out of a contested turnover in the centre square.

    HB, but I think he’s now being trialled as a HF. Missed a bit of play moving sides but he wasn’t one of the six out of the back on the most recent play.

    Looks good, I’d like him to get it a bit more but he’s definitely one of our better users. I actually think he could be a reasonable small forward for us.

    The challenge with Salo is that he seems to get injured or sick, misses a few games, then can't get back to his best. Lever is the same way.

    This really is pathetic by the club, either they don't give a hoot or they are totally incompetent I don't know which is worse

    Agree entirely. I really thought his confidence was really off last year and it showed. He really looked to doubt his ability to take contact.

    An under utilised asset we have.

    You wouldn't think he'll play in the seniors off just one week back in full training.

    More likely against Freo on 2 March.

    Salem and Bowey swapped onto the ‘B’ side for the last, Laurie now playing ‘A’ side with Hore.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.
