Flynn Young is very unlucky, been our best in the twos so I dont get why he wouldnt be an inclusion if you are rewarding VFL form?

Named as an emergency so he isn't injured. I think someone will go out he might go in. Cripps could be injured. Who knows.
If anyone in the midfield is lucky, it's probably Cerra, Cripps and Walsh were OK, both probably needed a message at times in recent weeks, but we've made a bit of a rod for our back.

I would have liked to see Flynn Young rewarded for his VFL form.
I'd also have liked one of Saad or Wilson in for a bit of speed.
But looking at the side I'm not sure who goes out.

O'Keefe is very lucky.
If Reidy hadn't been suspended it would have been him.
We're going with two Rucks.
It was critical last week when Pittonet had to go off in the last quarter for a rest and they won a few out of the middle.

Hopefully Adelaide have the mindset that no matter how far Carlton get ahead they can catch us.
Hopefully Carlton can trick them, and have the mindset that no matter how far Carlton get ahead...they won't catch us.
I reckon we're due ...overdue.
Carlton by 18. :D

GTC old chum. Hard to be optimistic when our selectors are as dumb as dog doodoo. Going to be showers and thunderstorms so we bring in an out-of-form ruckman. Flynn Young the only one to be consistently showing some form in the 2's?  Nope.
Reigning B&F, 2nd only to Cripps in Contested Possessions this year on a wet night, yeah let's drop him.

So based on the comments we are not happy with team selection.
Young has been named as an emergency and if the weather is that bad maybe a late out???
Anyway i don't think it will matter, we not winning this game or any games soon and the insane thing is I will be glued to the TV and listening to my beloved saying why are you watching when you know they are going to lose.
Go Blues

Not sure what team line-up you're looking at. Young is at fullback. God that makes me shiver, saying that. 🥶

Thilthorpe will dine out on our undersized defence.

Wonder what Flynn Young has to do. Thought he was obvious to bring  in for Haywood.

perhaps late changes will be made, ducks and drakes? Let's just chillax and see how this plays out.
Im still confident, Adelaide are in as poor form as us.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Are we allergic to midfielders?

We lost lord....and didnt replace him.
We drop hewett....and dont replace him.

Both are negative....which we need.
Both are slow, i get it.

But surely we need to bring in other midfielders?

Also getting taller and slower with the other ins, which i cant think is a good thing.

Not really sure what the plan is or whether it will work.....but at least we appear to be trying 'something.'

Trust in Voss mate.  :-X

We have a kid who is in great form in the 2nds and has some leg speed and goal sense that deserved a spot in a underperforming team but no the geniuses at PP recall a slow lumbering tall in HOK that has not exactly set the world on fire at either level

We are so slow across the ground and again do SFA to address it except of course dropping our reigning B & F winner.

We are a shambles on all levels

Match committee is more than just voss.

If we somehow get a win out of it maybe he gets some credit?
