In his press conference, Voss said that Saad has been below his best, and needs to lift his game because there's a couple who have earned their spots ahead of him. Also mentioned that because of Gather Round, the other competitions (i.e VFL) have the weekend off.
Saad looked cooked at the end of last year, this will be his last year IMO.

Last night was a good performance by our boys against the odds. Cannot question their effort and apart from a loss of structure combined with a slow reaction to a crows tactical change early in the second, we held our own. We didn’t get the rub of the green as stated by many on this site but battled on and if not for a lack of polish and cohesion at critical times we were right in this game. I’m much more positive about next week now if we bring that same level of competitiveness.

Wet night in Adelaide... so...
We replace a suspended quickish half forward with an out of form tall... leaving out a smart, in-form, half forward. How can anyone not see the logic in that  ::)
We replace a concussed Weiters with an aging, struggling for form intercept backman.
We replace Hewett with Williams, I guess, which makes some sense.

Perplexed: Perplexed is an adjective describing someone who is utterly confused, baffled, or puzzled, often combined with a sense of anxiety or uncertainty.


Hewett was dropped for his last quarter efforts on LDU I believe.
Harsh call, hopefully it doesn’t backfire resulting in a poor performance from the group, can’t see a good result coming from tonight.

Ok.......
Derksen    Young     Boyd
Florent      Haynes   Newman
 Carroll     Hewett    Cerra
Ainsworth McKay   E Holland
Evans        Cripps    F. Young
Pittonet  Walsh     Smith

Lord  Cowan  Byrne  Kemp   McGovern

Cripps is wearing a new knee strapping and probably playing injured, work him out of the square..... or rest him.
McGovern is the swingman, play him either end as required.
Lord rotates on the ball.
Byrne rotates with the small forwards.
Cowan rotates with the backs
Kemp rotates with the tall forwards.

Out: Hayward, Weitering, O Holland
In:  Lord, F Young, Haynes.

Something different!
On first glance that is one of the weakest back lines I can remember us fielding, with a misfiring midfield and flakey forward line this game could take a lot of 🍷to make it watchable. I am however eternally optimistic and hope the boys can show some fight for the coach and club.

We badly need some more liveliness in the F50.  We reverted to the bad old 'bomb it in' ways in the second half last week.

Derksen, Evans, Byrne in

Young, Fogarty, Elijah get a break

Byrne would have been in from the 1st round but seems to lack the fitness required to run out a game, we may need to be a little more patient with him. Agree on Derksen and Evans….

danger game. 

The Go Dees looked very impressive with their 'new' game-plan. More than a danger game for us, 3 Leos. Reckon the Go Dees might actually start favourites against us!
They have what we desperately need, a couple of X-factor players who can break lines and create opportunities.

Don't need both Gov and Young in the side. Don't need Fogarty there either. Williams can fill that slot.
I would have dropped Gov and played Derksen.
I would have dropped Fog for Byrne
Byrne will play once he establishes done sort of fitness base, mikes ahead of Fogarty. I also expect Derkson to play before too long as guys like Gov and Young are ‘stop gap’ at best.
