By the way, does anyone know how this injury happened? I did not see anything in general play (on TV). Wondering if he was trodden on when on the ground?

How about we rotate two players in that area.

My suggestion would be the Wiggler and Walker

Both players can do the % work and provide shepards and blocks...

I would agree with using Bentick. He put together some pretty good games last year and is a bit less fragile, and dare I say it, expendable. It's tough work to be in amongst it, as Hadley's injury can attest to. I would rather Bentick do an AC joint in a crude tackle than Walker.

Betts & carazzo is not a genuine in and under player. Watson, mitchell et al will tear these guys apart too strong
You go Grigg or Pfeiffer.

..i'd try Walks, but his drive off HB has been great.. ..we could [and probably will] use Juddles in that extractor role, lets face it.. ..he's our best option even with a full fit list to choose from regardless..

Adelaide have some of the stronger midfielders going around, we will get slaughtered at the contests, Hadley is a massive loss but even with him in, Adelaide are a very good well drilled team. I dont think we can win

If the stupid TAB have us as favourites again, ill be straight on Adelaide!


Sweet!

We're certainties now!

:lol: :lol:


Hey Hollywood, Blues are $1.55, Adelaide $2.47.

heath scotland by a mile best suited to that role for mine. .

We dont want gibbs, murphy, judd and simmo having to get their own ball too much, their effectiveness in an attacking role will suffer too much.

Anderson's match against the dees was ordinary, i like him though, but his body doesnt suit the hadley role.

Browne's got enough agro to do the role, dunno if he'll get chosen though.

Grigg's inside work isnt at the level i'd like, id have him in the mix for the available spot in the 22, but play him in a different role.

Armfield, should come back in, maybe for cloke or anderson. . Again a different role though.

Ellard: no

bannister: no

Bentley: worse options than bentley, i seem to be the only one who doesnt hate him, there's alot of merit in picking him, he's a decent link player with a bit of agro.

houlihan, russell, wiggins etc are doing well in the roles they're in atm so i wouldnt be moving them into the hadley role.

Scotland for mine. .

Be ballsy, think of the future. Give Browne the gig!

I imagine (hope) this was the long term intention for him anyways when we recruited him...let this challenge be the making of him.

I agree with trying Browne. I cant see him making it as a defender but his last time in and around the centre against the Crows was great. he has the grunt - does he have the strength yet or the quick handball out?

Im surprised by the nominations of pfeiffer - yes he's hard at it but I didnt realise he was a clearance type player. Has he ever been tried in that role?
