Will Johnson

[Thinline]

Stanley's hurt is he not?

One change this week IMO. WJ for RS.

And I reckon we'll be a better balanced side for it.

Gee wouldn't it be good to get a multiple goal debut from a young forward.

[Longwayfromhome]

I'm convinved.
Big Will in - Kosi Out
Hang on - Stanley is out injured.
So - Big Will & Blake In - Kosi & Stanley Out

Feel much better now.

I'm glad you're convinved. Sweet times.

I watched a 21yo mature age recruit go through a year at chf for springvale......in 2004....he was ok

Then in 05, due to injury he got a crack at chb.....

Now he's a b&f, all aust. And champion....

Will, also mature aged played at chb last year for sandy was ok....switched fwd this year and has improved markedly...

Is he the reverse fisher???

[PJ]

Will could certainly be no worse than Gamble. If he gets the gig I hope he grabs it with both hands.

Who is it Marto?!

And FWIW,

OUT: Kosi Stanley
IN: Johnson Winmar/Cripps

[borderbarry]

I would like to add McQualter to the Outs... DId not do enough when he came on.

Out....McQualter, and (If injured) Kosi Stanley

In.... Johnson Blake/Clarke -/Winmar

[spert]

McQ did a couple of good things under pressure when he came on the other night, so he will keep his spot.

Apart from being directly responsible for 3 of the last quarter goals you mean? Who do you reckon knocked the pill out from under the pack for us to goal from? Who spotted up Steven with a lovely chip pass for a goal?

Tough marker you are ...

[borderbarry]

OK. I just thought he should have had more than 6 touches, coming on as the fresh man just after half time.

Im no Mqualter fan BUT he did do a coupleof pressure things when it mattered.

Im actually warming to him moving down back for the small backman role who can actually dispose of the ball.....maybe as Baker replacement...

He did do a few important things however I think most criticism arises because of his role as sub. For a fresh player he probably didn't have the impact many would have hoped for.

Mind you, four games in and none of our subs have really given us a match winning lift.

can we talk about johnson in this thread? mcqualter not relevant.
johnson/stanley/kosi

2 of those 3 will play this week.

so Will is a real chance to debut. can he take his vfl form in to the afl?
thats the big question. we certainly need him to. neither kosi nor stanley will provide any answers down fwd this year.

Will will play and one or both of the other two won't.

[Saint_in_SA]

Will is better than Archer. Time Will Tell.

probably in skill terms but I'm inpressed with Archer and I think he'll give us some muscle in the forward line in the future - for mine our next Hamill.

I would have thought you'd have seen Hamill play. Obviously not.

I actually forgot how Hamill played as well,,,,,, is he still two weeks away?

Did Stanley get injured or not, do you know Bernard?

If you're suggesting Stanley and Kosi may be outs, who would be the other in?

tell ya what, if johnson is the only one of those three who plays then we lose. structure? what structure?

[thequarry]

David Misson said in this week's "Tuesday Check-Up" that Stanley had hamstring tightness, but taking him off was equally about bringing Mini on in the tough conditions...The weather forecast for Adelaide at the moment is cold and wet, so I think that harms Stanley's and Johnson's chances for selection.

yup gonna be slippery again, just like last week


no change

McQualter will retain his place.

Only out will be Stanley, whether he has tight hamstrings or not, we cannot have both him and Kosi being ineffective in the forward line. He would have been subbed off anyway last week.

Johnson should come in. He has been the stand out for forward pressure at Sandy, and isn't as cumbersome as either Kosi or Stanley, so he could be a better option than Gamble as a 3rd Key Forward.

I think if he has 0 kicks and 0 handballs, but 5 tackles, he will have done his job.
