Changes v Crows

25 possessions 11 tackles and a goal playing inside mid not enough to get you a game in an injury ravaged side and under performing Rioli Higgins.

I would be looking elsewhere if i were Shai.

He was easily best on ground in VFL last week IMO.

seems v. strange caesar.

maybe this is what Dimma was talking about when he said stuffs going wrong, and we know what it is, but we can't fix it?

Disappointed that Chol has not been given a try. The selectors have wimped out IMO. The team looks too small once again. Midget forward line. Hardwick just cannot let go of his "Plan A" from 2017.

Menadue given his umpteenth chance. Must be getting close to a club record for the most number of times he has been recalled to the senior team.

Sad for Towner - most likely has played his final senior game.

Yeah Id say the end for Towner, also the end for Weller if he too cant crack a game.

Menadue might be being put in the shop window to steal a soccer term, hoping to get some other team interested in him I dunno.

Still think Shai deserved a call up.

Same here. Sorry Dimma, I don't understand. Why waste more time with a basketballer??
 
How is Bolton not picked? Farce.

Also Townsend plays in the midfield in the vfl, gets picked to rot in the forward line then gets dropped in a game where we are short in the midfield.

Bizare selections

thought the same with a friend. baffling
 
Dimma has lost me with the Bolton non selection
Menadue has had a truck load of chances
Bolton’s gone at years end in my opinion
 
Another game that we have undermined ourselves with some bizzare selections. Let's be honest we were never a chance to win it so why not try something different with Aarts, rcd, Turner, Miller. Why is Bolton not given another chance? Did the right thing and went back to the ressies and performed. How is serial underachiever Higgins still getting a game. Reckon Aarts could provide better output at this stage. Let's see if Chol can actually play senior footy. If not why are we wasting a spot in the list.
Sorry but injuries aside, selections this year have been horrible.
 
I would have given Chol, Bolton and Weller a run. Chol couldn't be worse than Soldo last week. Bolton was bog in the VFL and Mav whilst a journeyman might have given us a little bit of strength around the ball. Anything under a ten goal loss would be a good result looking at that team. Great for Dusty to be captain though.

It’s as if they know we will lose, so they pick a team that can compete without getting slapped off the ground.
I still reckon even with a full side we would still struggle.
 
I reckon Vlossy will be a late out, hence the Menadue selection, hopefully Shai is on the plane as emergency.

The entire top 10 from last years B&F will be missing tomorrow nights game
 
So we persist with a forward line that has no flair or imagination.

Missed opportunity again by overlooking Chol and playing a one dimensional dinosaur in Soldo who can’t mark, kick and jump. Then we have a kid who dominated at the VFL playing in the guts who also has that creative flair to again be ignored for an outside runner. This is all against a team littered with inside beasts.

Surely he is in better form than Rioli

He is named as an emergency. Weather conditions a bit uncertain in Adelaide. Might be a late change.

Yep. As long as Soldo can play as good as he did against the Horks......but I doubt it.
