Re: Team v Adelaide Rnd 19

Great to see Jones hold his spot, showed some good signs last week.

Re: Team v Adelaide Rnd 19

Injuries aside I think we'll go into the game unchanged.

Bench: Andrejs Everitt, Shaun Higgins, Brodie Moles, Jordan Roughead

No Ward either

Not looking good when one week injuries last longer than that.

I am reasonably sure that they are erring on the side of caution especially considering after the interstate trip to Adelaide we have a 6 day break before facing Geelong.

Re: Team v Adelaide Rnd 19

It must be a typo. We have named 7 on the bench and bought in four players. Benches have four players, 7 minus 4 only leaves three so Skinny must have ended up in the 'ins' even though he was in the team from last week.


Does my arithmatic add up?

Yes it certainly does.

Rapt to see Jones get another crack. If they are thinking about him for finals (why else would they select him at this stage of the season) it will be great experience playing infornt of a hostile crowd.

I also hope Roughie has spent a bit of time goal kicking this week. Two bad misses in the last two weeks have hurt. If he can add some confident & competent goal kicking to his kit he will be a very very damaging player that teams will need to pay respect to in the forward line making harder for guys to double team BBBH come finals.

.

To get some games into him and because he deserves a shot. I highly doubt he will be in the squad come finals.

Why ? we have won by over 10 goals in both games.
I am looking forward to Roughie after another pre season , he will be unstoppable.

That is really going to be injury and form dependent, isn't it. Harbrow needs to come back in. Ward is likely, if he regains fitness. Hahn is probable if he shows some VFL form. Minson's return is dependent on Roughead's form. Hill's form at VFL level hasn't been as good as Jones'. Am I forgetting some-one?

It's is possible only Harbrow will come back. If this is the case then is Jones most likely to be the one to come out? He was selected ahead of Everitt last week. It may well come down to a battle between these two for the last spot.

He was never going to play this week. I will try and find out more.

Have we been lead up the wrong road with the injury?
I've never really understood why we would say a player is only likely to miss one week if we really know it's more likely to be two or more.
I don't think it gives us an advantage.

I spoke with Callan at the game on Sunday & he thought he'd be right this week.

It was also mentioned in the paper that it was a one week injury. It sounds like the recovery hasn't gone to plan this week.

Maybe Eade is trying out the team without Harbrow when he heads to the Suns next season?

I reckon that's a silly thing to say Arkie. We're 4th by % only heading into a finals series. Do you really believe Eade would be doing something like that at this time of the year, honestly?
