Great ins Dimma, looks like he's jumped into the Delorean....
-
stuffin Townsend....and no Miles
-
Miles copping the Tuck treatment from Halfstep...aka "Getting Tucked over".....he's probably been itching to bring back Morris....if it's at the expense of Short then he truly has lost the plot again....
As for Jacob "Better than Treloar" Townsend....said last week don't be surprised if Woodrow the Dudhound came in..... :shh
At least Dermie will be rapt....
-
We desperately needed Miles on Monday night in that weather. Isn't it likely to be wet again this Sunday?
Sigh.....
-
chill...the only IN will be vlas
-
Most likely ...but those two duds even being named is a worry, hopefully it's not a portent of things to come....
-
I don't mind Towny being rewarded for strong VFL form. Had 17 contested possession and 5 tackles on the weekend. Runs hard defensively.
I know he's a spud but he's been putting in work.
-
If he does play I at least hope he's instructed to play "unsociable" football....and by that I mean very "unsociable"..... :shh
-
Both Townsend and Morro rewarded for solid efforts in the VFL
-
Jack backs in duds....big shock....
-
:lol
-
Should just be Vlas for Menadue.
-

How about Miles? I know he was an emergency and didn't play but he has been starring at the vFL level. Why isn't he in the squad as a "reward"?
-
Morris rewarded for strong vfl form give us a break.Should never come in that backline now it's settled turns it over to much and to many free kicks.Only position for him is a tagger.
-

Sadly I think you've actually partly answered your question by mentioning he wax an emergency last week.
Reckon they just want to make sure he plays a full game this week
Not saying I agree but reckon that's the reason WHY.
TBBH I am extremely confused by 2 of the ins, don't think either Morris or Townsend will play but Morris ::)

I watched Morris a fortnight ago in the mauling of Nth Ballarat, he was many things but solid is not the term that comes to mind.

Surely Talia will miss. Probably a good game for him to miss too as we aren't exactly strong in the KPF department
-
It is a real worry Miles constantly being overlooked. His form justifies selection. Hopefully Vlas brought in. At a guess they named Morris as Hardwick thinks Morris should go on Betts.

Strange decision to bring in Morris. Hasn't played against Adelaide since 2014 and I don't think he can actually run with or outbody Betts. I would actually put Grimes on him. Grimes moves quite well for a 193cm defender and has good speed also
-
Grimes may need to play tall. Depends if they bring Jenkins in and if Talia stays in Otten could go forward
-
Who the stuff is gonna support nankervis? I know Elton was trash but atleast he gave nank a chop out. Please don't tell me astbury is gonna play second tall stuff.. I think that's the case with grimes to play tall in defence. Hence the inclusion of Morris.
-
Can't believe Morris has been selected. Even at full fitness is he nowhere near best 22.
Ridiculous selection when Miles is available.
If Stevy plays on Betts he will kick 8.
-
OER will explode tonight I am tipping
Welcome back Steve Morris
Will put Eddie to the sword :thumbsup

With respect Miles and Morris don't play similar roles to suggest one for the other is well foolish
Dont agree with the Morris selection. But Miles is an inside mid, Morris is a crash and bash defender who agree is not in a best 22.
Staggering decision to be honest. I just go in hoping he doesn't injury one of his teammates with his at times incredibly selfish attack on the footy.
And what I mean is, sometimes instead of doing the team thing, a block, a shepherd he doesn't think and just goes after the ball and ends up causing turnovers or giving away stupid frees
Simple bizarre selection
-
I know Elton hasn't been good but to go into a game that you propose making a contested game and not having a back-up ruck then you are asking for trouble. Realy dislike the selection this week and just hope they are not going back to old selection habbits.
-
I still think Morris can play a roll at stages this year if the match up is there but I just hope it's not every game.
Not really that concerned about Nank having to ruck most of the day either, other sides have ruckman that ruck all day. Goldstein seems to go ok with all of the ruck responsibility. Plus it gives us one more agile, quick player to hopefully run Adelaide off their feet.
I still think we can win.

How can you say that? The guy has just come off a ACL repair and has hardly any form in the seconds let alone play in the senior side against one of the best in form small forwards in the competition.
I've seen some strange comments before but this is one of the strangest.....
-
Trained the place down
Is fresh and rearing to go !!

Training is one thing. Playing is something else....

Are you actually still taking Jackstar's act seriously?
-
Grimes may need to play tall. Depends if they bring Jenkins in and if Talia stays in Otten could go forward
So who gets Lynch another one over 190cm.
I suppose we can count our lucky stars McGovern is still injured.
They are different to us they play 4 tall fwds and have the nippy Cameron, Betts at their feet and further mix it up with blokes like Menzel, McCay Knight going thru there.

The Claw
One of the few OER posters who watches footy and the opposition
He is 100% correct about the Crows
Grimes will have to play on a tall
Even McIntosh on occasions

Well if he actually looked at the team sheets he would have noticed Menzel and Knight are not playing.... :shh
-
Morris on Eddie
McIntosh, Rance and Grimes to take Jenkins, Tex and the red head.
Astbury takes Eltons spot, Jack plays high with Cotch, Dust and Caddyshank rotating deep forward. :help
-
No but Cameron and Betts are
-
For the record
Last 3 games against the crows
Eddie had kicked 2.,2 and 3
And averaged 12 possessions so as a team , we have handled him ok

Let them go in as listed. Way too many talls and will allow us to get into the game if we lower our eyes at hit up well. Lynch doesn't play tall in my eyes he just runs all day...i would say Conca could go with him or Markov if he can stick to instructions. They are a class act but i expect some late changes from them.

Morris :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

Exactly my point Claw: with Walker, Lynch, Jenkins and Otten forward I think Grimes is going to be forced to play tall. Not sure who would go to who but I didn't necessarily mean Grimes will go to Otten just that with that extra tall there will be a higher chance Grimes will play tall. Will be interesting to see who Dimma plays on that fourth tall. Could be any of Markov, McIntosh who Vlas who has been mostly forward/mid as of late...
(P.S I still haven't seen Adelaides final team so this is all based on my previous assumption of Otten and Jenkins both playing forward)

Hey, you realise he quoted me saying Grimes will play tall? I know I'm right most of the time but some credit would still be nice

On Morris, I'm going to back him in to show us all that he can be a handy player. IIRC many posters (including myself) were thrilled with his first season in 2012. He could lock down smalls and played some decent attacking footy (still remember his goal against the Hawks). Come 2013/2014 everyone jumped ship. Was this because he was worse, we were more observant or because of the shift in the gameplan? Everyone seems to recall us going much more defensive and way too structured in those years and perhaps Morris was one who suffered due to this both restricting his attack and making someone with already shaky disposal second guess him self every time he got it trying to follow to plan. Let's see he goes with more freedom
-
Think our new game plan better suits Morris. He isn't overly skilful so our previous chipping around style just led to skill errors. Now with a just get it forward mandate he should flourish. Time will tell but one thing you know with him is that you get 100% sheer grit and determination whenever he plays so that can't be such a bad thing.
-
So we bring in a one dimensional small backman and go in without a back-up Ruck or CHF????......Have I missed something or have we challenged them to a game of tunnellball.
-
Tunnel ball 🏀 it is :thumbsup
-
Would have been a better time to bring in Batchelor instead of Morris. Plays tall and small. Kicking has been sublime in the VFL this year and has developed some real aggro :gotigers

Im not exactly thrilled they have gone back to Morris - but was thinking along the same lines .

You know what. This is sooo crazy it may work. Oh well, time will tell.

Dont agree with dropping Elton he was playing a role and gave us a target at least coming out of defence and giving Nank a chop out.
-
Elton not playing in the VFL by the look of it. We must have taken him to Adelaide (?).
-
We need the rain ☔️

Unleash the CANNONBALL!

Adelaide aren't so good.
They're just better.

Good luck Morro :gotigers

I agree competition for spots is a good thing. In your opinion what are Miles's deficiencies?.

I reckon it's speed, tackling and defensive pressure.
With regards to speed, the game has gotten so fast that even if you are a meter off the next guy you look slow.

Is that because he is an emergency?
-
Reckon Elton will play
-
No late changes.
Team as selected.
-
I'm nervous.
This could get very ugly.
-
Lost it at team selection.
Match up todays have been a mess.
Lynch on Ellis... :help
Conca on Otten.. :help
No option for Plan B, no flexibility in team selection and list. Shame on the muppets that put us here. Embarrassed today..again on big stage.
P.S Yes, yippee for 5 and 0 but today should not have happened the way it did.
