Changes v Crows

Whats the matter?
Adelaide couldn't beat Hawthorn and made Port look like Premiership favourites 2 weeks ago.
We will gain some %

yeah I don't get it Zippers. People here thought we could beat Brisbane at the Gabba with no midfield, now they are scared we'll lose to Adelaide with near to our first choice midfield.

With the club saying Lynch's operation isn't a surprise, you would suspect that the club kept lynch on until we got to this point where our draw is easier. Send him for the clean out, rehab, back in time for a couple of matches to get back into shape and then finals campaign with a new and improved Lynch.

I hope Chol proves me wrong and plays a blinder. He has the talent but needs to use it consistently. I see Miller is an emergency and would have thought he was an ideal replacement for Astbury. Still what do I know, I only support the club

The way Lynch has been playing, it’s worth seeing a differently structured forward line with the potential option of three talls. Proper second ruck at last - thank goodness. Was hurting us so badly not having a bigger & taller body to drop back defensively to start with.
 
I think we should and will win but am not taking it as a given.

People have been screaming for CCJ but he's a second-gamer. They shouldn't be expecting miracles.

An interesting poll would be who is likely to have the bigger influence on Sunday?

1) CJ
2) Mabior Chol
3) Neither of the above.

For what it's worth and to prove once and for all I know nothing about footy i'll say Mabs .

Good changes. Half suspected Dow might get a go but reckon he'll be in soon enough when they rest RCD and/or Hugo.

Chol and CJ have been dominating the VFL. Chol has never played better. For all the talk of no oppo he flogged Brisbane's rucks, who were practically their only AFLish-standard players. We get a look at the three talls structure we've been desperate to see. At least three goals between them I reckon.

Astbury (leg). Hmmm. Ask not for whom the bell tolls, DTL.

Really looking forward to seeing Cholly and CJ. I'm actually expecting more from Chol this game.

I wanted MRJ to play. Ok, next round debut. But overall, I like the ins.
 
We should beat them by 40 + points because our percentage is weak at the moment and Adelaide are a bottom 6 team. This is a much stronger team than last week even without Lynch in it
 
Chol in. Good change. All those letters Redford has been sending Dimma have finally paid off.

Don't worry about the 6 in's.
Feast your eye's on these 3 in's for Adelaide that will influence the result.
Haussen
Hocking
Toner
SHocking can't trust the crows to do us over so has brought himself into the crows team this week

I really can't see Caddy as a winger, forward ok, but winger, no.

So, what we need is someone on the wing. I don't think Chol has the tank but he's pretty good at ground level. Maybe Castagna?

I would like to see Reiwoldt forward with either Chol or CCJ when they are not rucking, when Nank is not rucking and also not on the bench for a rest he can go back.

Bit taller gives us a number of options, will be good to see how well we can utilise this.
