whatwhat say what

i don't remember him at all; before my time - literally finished the year i was born, but given that tom flower didn't even make 30 games i think fritsch has him beat already but i'm disagreeing that fritsch is a natural half-forward (something my mother vehemently disagrees with me with, so yr not alone there amongst other fans @picket fence) - he's much better off playing as the defensive wingman floating back at this stage, as he doesn't tackle or chase have a look at ryan's workrate by comparison when he took that hanger; he left him for dead at the previous countest - fritsch's second efforts are hit-and-miss anyway, back to the changes at hand, preuss was strong around the contest in the vfl and is a man mountain but his fitness is pretty bad - did nothing in the last at all (was he on the bench?) from what i saw on the live stream, but i must admit that as they started to dominate my interest started to wane corey wagner was busy enough lever looked slow at the contest, as to be expected, but that mark early on was seriously nice and his kicking was clean - i'd give him another 3/4 game then full game at lower level but i reckon he could be right for either adelaide in the alice or the filth on qb hoping heaps that salem - any reports on how serious it was? - will be right, but tim smith and anb looked seriously cooked on the bench and mandatory concussion protocol should mean that they miss next week, nine day break or not be interesting to see what they do with lewis if his ankle is good to go

no, he's not

will play again, as next week against gw$ we have to combat cameron, himmelberg, and finlayson

you are as mad as the proverbial cut snake @picket fence

OUT: ANB, T Smith (both concussion) and i wouldn't be surprised if Salem was as well given the knock he took late IN: one of C Wagner or Sparrow (depending on how tomorrow goes), Preuss brayshaw had a real dom tyson vs meth coke; he can only play the one role - inside mid - and whenever he has to play a different role (e.g. the lewis role) then he gets completely lost, and his fumbles and up-and-unders are momentum killers i wouldn't mind seeing brayshaw forward, but his defensive pressure is just non-existent so he's a liability anywhere but on the ball - he's too good a player to be performing like he is currently billy stretch skating on super-thin ice for mine - he holds up play every time he gets it; hoping a youngster can start to show something for casey to replace him as a runner petty holds his spot as we'll need all tall hands on deck vs cameron, himmelberg and finlayson B: Hore - Frost - Petty HB: Salem - O Mac - Fritsch ? Jones - Oliver - Baker HF: Hunt - T Mac - Lockhart F: Petracca - Preuss - Garlett Foll: Gawn - Harmes - Viney I/c: Brayshaw - Stretch - C Wagner - J Wagner Emerg: Jordon - Sparrow - Chandler - Kielty

won't be dropped based on that performance

6: Gawn 5: Hunt 2: Harmes 3: Oliver 2: Hore 1: Garlett

We’ve thrown everything at them but the maggots and, let's face it, better side get the win

100% from memory he lowered his ball drop, learned to take a big breath before beginning his approach, and relax then kick through it

Seven players with less than 50 games Wow

god >> judas but jakovich >>>>>>>> everyone

lewis looked even more immobile after his ankle knack than he did beforehand; can't see him getting up weideman had a good vfl game the week before last but pulled up sore, so is unlikely to come up for this weekend, and you have to reward good play, so... IN: preuss, anb, baker, tim smith OUT: lewis, hibberd, melksham, keilty B: Hore - O Mac - J Wagner HB: Salem - Frost - Fritsch ? Viney - Jones - Brayshaw HF: Petracca - T Smith - Lockhart F: Preuss - T Mac - Hunt Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Harmes I/c: ANB - Stretch - Baker - Garlett Emerg: Weideman - Sparrow - Petty - C Wagner that backline looks completely cobbled together from spare parts

so bang on half of what i think of as our 'best 26 man squad' is currently listed as injured... B: Jetta - May - Hibberd HB: Salem - Lever - Lewis ? Viney - Jones - Brayshaw HF: Petracca - T Mac - vandenBerg F: Preuss - Weideman - Melksham Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Harmes I/c: Hannan - Hunt - Fritsch - J Smith Emerg: Spargo - Kolodjashnij - Frost - Kennedy Harris

yes we can! sore hip, broken collarbone, busted knees, mangled feet...

Jenkins and Carlton’s 2919 first round pick which Adelaide holds for our third rounder Actually...no Make it our fourth rounder

Melksham a broken foot....fudge......

I reckon running second to Harmes Salem has got off to a great start in 2019 in a side that has when all is said done been pretty poor

it's a weird, weird season

not a huge amount in the ablett hit gw$ can't seem to get going against the hawks

The Brodie Grundy of Melbourne? Tap ruckman and elite disposal

We had, what, six afl listed players in the vfl yesterday? Barrel well and truly being scraped

so it would seem to be it's grown by at least three... Injury List: Round 9 Jordan Lewis (ankle) – test Jake Lever (knee) – test Corey Maynard (hip) – test Jake Melksham (foot) – est Sam Weideman (soreness) – test Mitch Hannan (knee) – 1-2 weeks Jay Kennedy Harris (knee) – 1-2 weeks Steven May (groin) – 3-4 weeks Michael Hibberd (broken collarbone) – 4-8 weeks Joel Smith (groin) – 6-8 weeks Aaron vandenBerg (foot) – 6-8 weeks Neville Jetta (knee) – 10-12 weeks Kade Kolodjashnij (concussion) – Indefinite Guy Walker (shoulder) – Indefinite Aaron Nietschke (knee) – Season that's a seriously large list of injured players

It’s always so different watching it on tv rather than at the ground...close games but this was WAY more stressful and worse to watch than the Hawks bumsqueak last week... 6: Salem 5: Jones 4: Oliver 3: Melksham 2: Harmes 1: Gawn Apologies to Frost, Petracca, and Lockhart in particular We have a serious footballer in Lockhart I think

Ch 7 decision

He’s limited as the role he’s most effective in, by far, is as an inside mid Unfortunately the same is true for Jones and Viney At the moment their disposal and defensive accountability is far, far superior to Brayshaw’s, by comparison They tried him at half-back after Lewis went down injured and he was, frankly, awful - only runs hard one way Got a lot of developing to do to expand his ability as a high quality player
