Adelaideā€™s defence is so inexperienced. Donā€™t think they have a matchup for Langford and Stringer. Michelanney, Keane and Butts are their three tall defenders.

Our midfield should smash thiers bunch of plodders

44

Their leadership is in their midfield, if they are to make a stand it will be there (despite it beingā€¦.not great)

45

From what Scott said in his after game interview sounds like Shiel will be in. Replaces Menzie I reckon. I donā€™t mind that at all. Canā€™t compare the two when both at their best or worst.

I would think about managing Goldy this week to have him rested up to take on that American flog on Anzac day.
Surely now after 4 games Draper has enough fitness to take the number 1 ruck spot this week

If Goldstein needed a rest, I would play Bryan as well as Draper. Keep the same forward structure, especially with Wright out of the team.

Season over if they lose today

They will be mentally weak

49

When is the Guelf due back, please someone?

50

It makes no difference. You think they will be fired up if they cop a thrashing. They are just as likely to fold and go into their shells, do a West Coast.

51

2 weeks ish

52

Thanks. Due back around ANZAC day. It will be a near run thing, one way or the other.

53

Please say it ainā€™t so.

Tsatas was better in the first half, gets taken off to be emergency and he is prioritising Dylan Shiel coming in?

Whereas l have donā€™t believe it has ever been a thing, and to this day has never used the word.

Forgot him.
So, what is the zeitgeist on blitz about Guelf. Is he:
Too old
Too small
Past it
Too good looking
Too blonde
Should be delisted
Should be traded

Or maybe he is not good enough at footy.

57

Limited but reliable.

Not that great but the 2nd best small forward we have.

Can anyone suggest a reason why Menzie should be in the 23 next week (apart from the unlikely situation that there are only 23 fit players to select)?

Guelfi in Round 1 surprised not only most of us on Blitz, but all of the Dawks, in particular their captain Sicily. Sicily is their main defender and Guelfi a minor forward, and yet the Guelf was sent to play on the bigger opponent and handled him quite well. It looked like he had found a new niche role, alas it was short livedā€¦ for now.

Itā€™s almost like theyā€™re not competing for the same spotā€¦
Unless Tsatas is suddenly going to play the small forward pressure role, I donā€™t see any relation.

Davey was far from good, but team balance is a thing.
I want Tsatas in, and he deserves to play but Iā€™m just not sure where heā€™s fitting in. Based purely on merit hed probably replace Parish, but we all know thatā€™s not happening
