OMG Graham.... WTF.

While i dont rate Polson still would have preferred him to Graham. Graham is a good 2nds player but awful at AFL standard and not like he hasn't had chances.

Makes no sense to use a player like him this week. 

[Professer E]

Playing two rucks.... Hmm.  At least Phillips smashes in,  he'll give Jacobs something to think about.

[laj]

So we have a resting ruckman, Casboult, McKay all up forward. Still a very tall backline too. No lessons are learnt. We're as slow as fk again. What's Phillips going to do when he's sitting around in the forward line, or Kreuzer to a lesser extent. Adelaide will just waltz out of defence with run from the half back line, then contend with our tall, slow defence. Could we go any taller? Then we pick Graham, who's slow. Match Committee have no fkn idea. We'll be as fast as a Mac Truck going up a steep hill.

Agree, Graham is a puzzling selection. Are we planning to double team Jacobs? I reckon we'll see a pretty defensive game plan although Garlett is an attacking player, maybe for the fast breakouts?

Would have preferred to see Kreuzer rested.

Hopefully the team can bring some effort.
If they do that they won't get any criticism from me whatever the score.
We're really up against it this week...but sometimes they're the best scenarios.
Nothing to lose....which puts the pressure back on Adelaide

Phillips and Kreuz may be rotated via the bench?

Well it's an opportunity to test your theory that we can't play both Kreuzer and Phillips at the one time.
We'll have a result Saturday night.

We've had that result many, many times for the same non-result. Didn't need to see it again.

Match Committee obviously haven't heard the saying.....the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and  over and expect a different result.

What are we going to do with 2 key forwards and a ruckman in the forward 50. Watch the ball sail away out of there time and again. I sure hope their hands are sticky. Our club has no concept of modern footy.

Since limited interchange came in they can't do that much anymore. That's where most sides stopped using two rucks unless they could do something up forward.
