Crocker hasn't done anything wrong and has been close to our best forward, but Billy is an upgrade and Cal brown is a better option as a defensive forward so he stays and barry goes back.
Varcoe for fas is a hard one. Varcoe didn't have a great game but did have 3 goal assists. . I'm also wary of making 3 changes after a win.
Considering Faz has been able to get plenty of miles in his legs over pre season, I'd just bring in De Goey for Stephenson and Fas for Crocker, give Varcoe another week and Billy another week in the VFL so we can unleash him on ANZAC Day. |
Pretty much my thinking too.
Varcoe stays as he can fill the Phillips role when Elliot comes back on Anzac Day. |

Both Crouch brothers will be missing and they were 1 and 3 for Adelaide in average disposals last year.
Brodie Smith is another classy ball winner they'll be without and he has good history against us averaging 23 disposals per game.
If de Goey returns our midfield depth will be bolstered again and this is where we can win the game.

I think we'll see the two changes for this game:
in: De Goey (a must, surely), Fasolo
out: Crocker, Stephenson
Not because we won against the Blues but because Elliott is probably not quite ready. If you have better players out of the team you bring them in, doesn't matter how well we went the previous week.
Stephenson did well the first two rounds but had little impact against the Blues. His selection though will depend on where the club feels he is physically than on one down game, as this is expected of a first year player.
Crocker had two pretty good games and one fair one. Could keep his spot, but any of De Goey, Elliott or Fasolo are far superior players.
Others to be considered: Brown and Varcoe. Brown had his best game against the Blues, but he is still slight and too easily pushed off the ball. This could be a problem against the physically mature Crows. Varcoe's not getting enough of it, but his pressure has been good. I expect against the Crows the latter is more important and he'll hold his spot.
Pressure and run will be essential against the Crows, so the likes of Phillips will surely be playing as will Varcoe. In this, I'd prefer Stephenson over Brown, but will depend on where he's at physically.

| Fasolo looked a bit out of condition to me and his tackling pressure is never strong. I think there will be no more than 2 changes, with De Goey and Elliott coming in to replace Stephenson and an unlucky Crocker. |

Kicking goals will always be the best form of forward pressure and Fasolo knows how to do that well enough.

Murray is quick. Manyard isn't slow, WHE and Treloar are very quick, Stephenson is damn quick but needs a spell. Phillps is one paced too, he just does it all day. Wills is a stoppage beast with a thumping kick. If you want to replace like for like, Wills would replace Adams in the midfield but I can't see that happening. |
Fair points, but I think sustained run can be as valuable as burst speed in terms of gaining ground. In any event, no way would I replace Adams. In replay, he was more impactful yesterday than I realized in real time. I still have high hopes for Wills though as I think we lack heavy, bullocking mids.

I’d be very surprised to see Elliot travel to Adelaide. We need him 100% for a long season.

2 changes maximum i reckon - Elliott and De Goey in; Stephenson and one other out - can't work out who that would be - who knows, may even drop Cox on that big ground.(although that leaves nil back up ruckman)..or rest Treloar...

I'd agree with you because he's worth so much to us, so its better to ease him in and be cautious - but bottom line - we need every win we can't get.. and he may be the difference.

I’d normally lean towards going with a maximum of 2 unforced changes, but I think with the trip to Adelaide followed up with 12 day break to Essendon and short break to Richmond we can afford to take a risk of bringing in more talent and worst case we get some AFL game time into them ahead of potentially more winnable games.
We are still getting smacked at centre clearances. Raises the possibility of bringing in bulls Wills and/or Sier as well as De Goey. I’d have Wills well ahead of Sier based on what I’ve seen, but I note Bucks mentioned Sier first.
Out: Stephenson, Crocker (rested), Varcoe, Brown (rested).
In: De Goey, Elliott, Fasolo, Wills
Look to bring Wells in versus Essendon with the four outs available to come in if need be and worst case available to provide fresh legs against Richmond a few days later.

| ^^^ Blair is the obvious inclusion on what I saw. He was breathtakingly good. Made De Goey and Elliott look pedestrian. |
