Maybe.
I would assume it wont be Young who comes in
Weiters - Thilthorpe
Gov - Fogarty
Haynes - Walker
Saad - Keays
Carroll - Rachele

I think Young might play....don't trust Haynes either on any of those physical type forwards.Walker would get my best defender. Saad on Keays from memory hasn't worked out too well either...prefer Saad on Rankine
I'd be hoping our mids dominate and supply is minimal to the Crows forward line.
Agree totally EB. Pressure on delivery to Crows forwards is the key.
If they get clean ball, it will make it hard.
We must bring the heat like last week around the ball, otherwise we'll struggle to beat them.

Rankine plays more midfield and Saad wont play there. Keays dines out on us, pencil him in for 4 goals now irrespective of who plays on him. Thilthorpe is there best and biggest fwd hence Weiters. They were saying on Fox Gov seems to do better agains the taller quicker more mobile fwds, dont know whether you'd call Fogarty to Walker quick and mobile.
I 100% trust Haynes (now) to do a defensive job on either. Young is too flaky to play on Thilthorpe IMO.

Adelaide really only has Thilthorpe as a tall forward but Walker and Fogarty will have at least 10kg on most of our taller defenders if we don’t play Young.

Jack Silvagni has been outstanding with his ability to play on tall and medium forwards and to set up our transition from defence.  Young isn’t a like for like replacement but neither are Doc and Moo, and we’d be quite undersized with either of them replacing Jack in our defensive seven.

I think I’d like to see Young on Thilthorpe, Weitering freed up to control our transition and Cowan to come in for Carroll.  Not that Jeff has been poor but Moo can play taller and is a bit harder.
