Round 1 vs Adelaide Cows

[waswan]

No Hewett.... Hopefully related to staying home with Mrs and her not being able to interact

He is top 5 for us

I only saw the Adelaide preseason game against Gold Coast. Adelaide seemed to play a short kicking game style and also looked to counter quickly through the middle with running players.

So I think Ronke will have more of an effect than Sinclair. I feel we will benefit from a more mobile forward line. I assume Hewett is out for family reasons. I also don't mind giving COR/McInerney a chance ahead of Gould/Stephens.

Ronke's selection is a waste of a pick. Already have plenty of small forwards who offer worlds more. Hope Hewett comes in.

[Ludwig]

Ronke is a star.

Changes from the last game R23 2019 v St Kilda

In: Brand Cunningham Gray Hayward McInerney Naismith O’Riordan Taylor
Out: Fox Franklin Hewett Jack McVeigh Melican Menzel Reid

[Auntie.Gerald]

so only 3 players to come back most likely from the rd23 team? no sinclair in rd23?

the intense pressure we have seen by the tigers and the flood forward and or locked in forward line works very well...........but it is side by side to 3 amazing key forward rotation also jack, tom, dustin

lets hunt then !!!!

Sinclair was out for a large chunk in the second half of the year. We tried a few players in the ruck in that time - Aliir Reid McLean Fox

IMO, Ronke over Hewitt is a poor selection..

We already have... Grey, Papley and Lewis.

Hewitt could of, potentially, nullified Sloane or Crouch...

Maybe Hewitt is carrying an injury, if not then his omission is very puzzling indeed.

[Markwebbos]

Didn’t Hewett miss the last preseason game v North? He might have more important things to worry about than a half-arsed AFL comp.

Hewitts son just came home after 63 days in ICU. Reckon they will be doing everything they can to avoid Corona.

Quite a few can consider themselves lucky to be in the 22 for this match, with Ronke, McInerney, O'Riordan and Hayward heading the list. But then the same could be said if it were Gould, Stephens, Clarke, Sinclair or Fox. This is the reality of having such ordinary depth. We have a good best 16/17, but it's a very steep drop off after that. Everything crossed some of those players prove me wrong. I won't be holding my breath. Crows by 33.

Yep, I didn't know about his personal situation, his omission now makes sense.

I still think Ronke's inclusion is odd, given his ordinary form and the plethora of small forwards already in the selected team.

Yeah I think Sinclair for Ronke would make sense
