Douglas out for 6 after surgery to stop bleeding in the groin,  :o sounds horrendous!!!

So question for those who know more about South Australian football than the rest of us, who is most likely to fill the void....?

Matt Crouch?
Brad Crouch?
Matthew Wright?
Brodie Smith?

Not saying its going to be those guys specifically, that's just who I personally would have thought would benefit most.

Dudge

The slight possabily of Grigg with the vest could be even slighter

Vinny

Matt Crouch to play now for sure?

Vince & Douglas both out and Danger pushing forward?

Can he play 6+ games before around 8?

I think most people on FF will pick Crouch at M10 if there was confidence he could.


Vinny

I am aware of that man, haha. Douglas being out is recent news so peoples minds might have been changed.

Danzac

So Vince, Van Berlo and Douglas now missing from 2013.
Crouch has gotta be a red-hot chance if Sanderson thinks he's ready

.@AFCReddit Definitely a chance, but the midfield is such a competitive area for us. Hopefully they play together for 10 years plus.

AFL ‏@AFL  54m
.@BILLZ_17 Ellis-Yolmen, Matt Crouch, Grigg, Cameron, Hartigan, Johnston, Kerridge, Lyons are probably the main ones #askthecoach

TBH honest there's a few before him. Grigg a definite chance now, and at mid 300's he could be a bargain like macrae/Daisy.

i hope this means crouchy can make the best 22 ... critical for my structure ... if he doesnt i hhave to change up 3 spots

Vinny

Same, haha. If Crouch is named, makes this sooo much easier for me.

Danzac

Brad Crouch has had an Achilles problem, and has just seen his first action in a SANFL trial......

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-03-10/crouch-in-reserve

The article says he looks healthy, but he's two games behind everyone else.
Another possible midfield out if they think he's underdone....if only we could read Sanderson's mind.....

Yeah his cheapness is crucial if you need round 1 flexibility

I spent a long time working out how to get aish into my team so i had the best rookie options to m10 ... but crouch just makes life so much easier if the bloke can just bang out 6 games i would be frothing 

Vinny

Well if Brad Crouch is out too..

That's Vince, Van Berlo, Douglas and Crouch out from last year. Plus with Danger pushing forward more, I think that makes Crouch a certainty to play although I'm not really an Adelaide expert. But that's just how I see it.

I think we honestly would be better off spending the cash and gettin aish instead .. but i dont mind picking pav if means i can have him at f6 and caddy f6 .. if crouch dont play i have to consider higgins :/

Vinny

I'd pick Aish if I had the extra 70k but I don't haha. Higgins, haha. People are overrating how much he doesn't play IMO.

dont tell me that ... I have always liked him ... i had him moments ago but just went aish to crouch and higgins to pav and pendles in and I am guessing you would do the same ... but that is playing 2 def rookies which i dont like so may indeed down pendles and get a mid pricer in def
this all banks on crouch playing!!! haha
