Changes vs Crows
- Thread starter Smoking Aces
- Start date
So with TT confirmed as an in, I'll change my team.
In Kosi, Bolton, Taranto, Tresize, Smith, Prestia
Out Lefau, Pickett, Vlastuin, Martin, Short, McAuliffe
Sub - McAuliffe
I'd prefer Dow out for McAuliffe, but I think this is more what I expect rather than what I want
The news of the week for me is Tim Taranto is ready to play. We have really missed our key mid in the last few weeks and with Prestia back, we should have some semblance of a useful midfield for Thursday and not have to rely on inexperienced cubs who are clearly not yet ready.
Prestia, Bolton, Taranto is a fair trio - shows what a good effort last week against the Cats was
The only reason I have placed the VFL report here is so people can see Morro's assessment of 3 of our AFL listed boys, (Coulthard, Steely and Banks), we are assessing form for selection and theirs ain't good even worrying:

Really disappointed how Coulthards year is panning out. Has Cyril Riolli numbers in the vfl which isn't a good sign.The only reason I have placed the VFL report here is so people can see Morro's assessment of 3 of our AFL listed boys, (Coulthard, Steely and Banks), we are assessing form for selection and theirs ain't good even worrying:

Outs: Lefau (inj), Pickett (inj), Martin (managed), Sonsie (omitted)
Ins; Taranto, Prestia, Bolton, Gray or Kosi (prefer Kosi playing back but may need to go forward)
Hoping Kaleb Smith gets another game.
The Sonz looked ok in patches but think he'll make way.

Why Kosi instead of either of our mid season draftees. He has done very little since his arrival to make anyone believe he will do well against Adelaide.
Prefer either of Blight ar Gray, depending on where they decide to start Noah.
Its what I think will happen. I think they'll go with the more seasoned player rather than a brand new one. They haven't learnt our systems etc so I don't think they'll just throw them in at the deep end.
Putting Kosi into that side either forward or back is throwing him in at the deep end. The other two imo, less of a risk and with much more upside.
Knowing our luck he'll probably kicking the winning goal in the grannie and we will have to keep him on the list for another year.
How is he being thrown in at the deep end? He's played that role before. The others have probably not played as the primary forward before and personally I reckon you waste Balta as a primary forward, he's a 2nd forward, not the deepest forward.
Agree to the extent that Kosi has played that role before but with consistently below average to poor results.
Balta if he goes forward will be our best available alternative. Not that he wouldn’t do well again in defence but more that he would give us a target, which result Kosi has so far demonstrated he lacks the ability to achieve.
Better to try out another.
Having just seen Ceasars training report it looks like Oooze is going to risk playing Kosi v Adelaide.
Hope he does well.

I wonder if he is not quite right from his concussion?
on reading this I suspect Trezise is a week or two away from being ready to be picked as well.
On Tresize Morris mentioned it was good to see his run off half back increase, for me he still needs to move the ball on a bit quicker and make quicker decisions but starting to find a bit of form.
