Changes for Adelaide

[Dirtyburt]

I dont think the Jetta has gone walkabout comment is either appropriate or fair.

agreed, cut out the crap

[aardvark]

Everitt may be injured, he didn't play the last quarter of the ressies game.

Bringing back Jessie = going out in straight sets.

[Go Swannies]

Apart from Nick and Reid just one change - attitude.

[The Big Cat]

Grundy won't be suspended, the force wouldn't constitute a strike. On changes, maybe Lamb as a sub might be a left-field alternative.

Agree, given precedent, although stupid, he would be unlucky to get a reprimand at worst

The whole season has imploded & if we get within 30 points next week it will be a miracle...the midfield has been worked out...the forward line is more dysfunctional than ever...Goodes is clearly about 80%...and we can't mark the ball. Shae seems to have let the publicity go to his head the last few weeks...Mike Pyke (love him) did not handle the finals type atmosphere today...LRT was invisible...Jetta has gone walkabout...but if we had only been more desperate at the last 2 centre bounces against Hawthorn I wouldn't be thinking like this!

Gee you make it sound like we finished 16th and won about 3 games all season! our last month wasn't so pretty, but we lost 2 of the three games by a kick or thereabouts. Yesterday was disappointing, but we can and will bounce back. I reckon we will come out absolutely fired up early next week

The loss to Collingwood is the one that rankles with me. We were the better team for most of the game but just lacked a little composure when it counted. Against the Hawks we were outstanding for all but a 10 minute patch, and kept fighting to the end against the team I think is the best in the competition this year. And to beat the Cats anywhere when they get their tails up you have to play well, let alone at Skilled Stadium. They played pretty well, we had a few blokes down on intensity and the outcome is not a surprise.

We can beat the Crows next week but will need the whole team to play well. It is hard to pick how the Grundy incident will go - it is certainly possible it will be deemed to be insufficient force. But if he is outed, the obvious restructure is to move LRT back. Smith and Reid back into the team (hopefully), Walsh out (he did OK but not in our best 22 at the moment), Parker to play a full game, Armstrong to stay and maybe Eski as sub?

Jetta's had his eyes on finals for awhile and has been foxing. Will explode on saturday on the big ground.

On SEN this morning they were saying how clubs had stopped Jetta's run and carry into the forward line, but we were still persisting with this strategy. Made sense to me. It is easy to stop a bloke like Jetta at Geelong because it is a very narrow ground so there is no space out wide to run. It is like a standard racecourse. 2 straights with curves at both ends. Does not resemble an oval at all. The should bulldoze the hole.

Changes for Adelaide

I would have liked to see Jetta being played as a roving forward/crumber when he has been hard tagged. Adds a bit of spark in the forward line too.

[Lucky Knickers]

I'm just home from the game and I can tell it wasn't a matter of disinterest. The boys tried, it just wasn't their day and they were frustrated with themselves and it showed. Looked like ast weekend took it out of them a bit and I think next week will be hard as this game was tough too. The Cats were intense and on song. With Scarlett's last game at Kardinia and Hawkins 100th they were definitely up for it. Smooch out totally messed with the match-ups and we lost some of our attacking options as a consequence.
Good news is he and Reid should be right next week so that would be Armstrong and Tommy out the only changes.

[The Big Cat]

Just for something different I'd like to see the forward line cleared right out except for Jetta. Don't kick it to him, but rather out into the open and make it a footrace.

Agree. I have previously commented that I would like see Jetta play forward. If he can't break the lines, we should use him in another capacity. He has many strings to his bow. His brain is as quick as his feet. Good vision and can hit up open players with pin point passes. Would be dangerous up front.

[grarmy]

...

Reid and Smith are expected to play next week ....probably be a good idea to plan for Grundy's absence....I get the feeling Andrejs Everitt will be back next week. Maybe put him in the forward line and let LRT go back to his old position.

The most logical changes given the direction taken by the coaching panel during the past four months. Spangher won't play again for the Swans. Ditto for White and TDL, who will be heading home to the West. Grundy will be a bad loss but it is hard to see him squeezing out of the facial he gave Pods. Everitt is not an ideal replacement for Grundy but he does provide some flexibility front or back. We will need to get more out of Hanneberry, Jetta, Mumford/Pyke next week.

There was not enough force for Grundy to be suspended.

He will get over 100 points and take the guilty plea and good behaviour deductions to play this week.

Chapman might be unlucky due to his record only.
