Changes vs Brisbane

[Glenno23]

Surely our easiest week?

If Tip and Porps are fit they come in

IN: Tippett, Porplyzia
OUT: Riley, Johnston

If either don't get up, then their replacement stays. We need to remember that Brisbane beat the WC when they were in from at the GABBA, so i can't see anyone being rested. Jacobs had a rest and has been slightly down on his earlier season form.

And who will get the vest?

That's probably the hardest thing for selectors this week (provided we don't cop any unlucky injuries at training this week) Stiffy was good against Freo. I really can't think of someone i'd want to vest

 

[Chief Crow]

Selection looks easy this week if Tippo and Porps are good to go

Tippo, Porps IN
Pig dog, Johnston OUT

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Tippo, Porps IN
Pig dog, Johnston OUT

Yeah ...not a lot of discussion req this week

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

bit of a no brainer this week if Porpy and Kurt are fit

IN: Tippett, Porplyzia
OUT: Johnston, Riley (unfortunate)

With no Symes, Knights, Riley or Tambling in the side, who becomes the sub?

You'd think Stiffy, but i like him playing the full games

Tough choice, but thats how it should be (the decision that has to be made, not Stiffy in particular)

Absolutely tough choice, after Saturday I'd be suggesting Stiffy would be safe.

I'm thinking maybe Callinan as the sub.

With us looking at fielding pretty close to our best 22 this week, it will probably be one of our smaller forwards, likely either Johncock, Callinan or Petrenko, with a likely revolving door approach moving into finals.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Stiffy should not be the sub, he provides an extremely difficult forward match up for the opposition

Doughty this week for me only because with three weeks remaining it's an opportunity to manage one of our older players before finals

Didn't Sando say that he has learn't his lesson, that is not to have Pup as a sub

 

[ManInTheArena]

IN: Tippett, Porplyzia
OUT: Riley, Johnston

This.

Dangerfield as the sub, his form has been poor.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Kurt as the sub. Will make a change from being the one subbed off.

 

[MRB37]

Didn't Sando say that he has learn't his lesson, that is not to have Pup as a sub

Yea, that was after he used Petrenko as the sub against North Melbourne.

I'd go with the Johncock or Callinan as sub route.

 

[ManInTheArena]

Kurt as the sub. Will make a change from being the one subbed off.

Not as silly as it sounds.

 

[PykeDream]

Jenkins as sub is my pick. We don't need three rucks at once against Brisbane, seeing as we have Walker and Porps. Like for like if Kurt runs out of legs.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

over the next 3 weeks the sub provides us an opportunity to freshen up a few players

 

[Geoffa32]

I was thinking Callinan as sub.

 

[A FEW GOOD MEN]

over the next 3 weeks the sub provides us an opportunity to freshen up a few players

For most of the year the sub has been the 22nd best player available or a young player who is being given a taste. We now need to find someone who can be a specialist at coming on and making an impact. Unfortunately the players that best fit the bill (Hendo and Martin) are both injured. Who is the next best choice?

 

[Elite Crow]

Very difficult choice, assuming its the 22nd player picked, who is that now?

between now and finals we need to use the sub to freshen up players, come finals Hendo will be available and is the ideal sub

 

[Elite Crow]

Who goes out for Hendo? Given his lack of match fitness I can't see him coming back.

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

Douglas might be the sub

 

[Vader]

How is there any doubt? I can't see any viable sub candidates other than Stiffy. It's almost guaranteed that he'll be wearing the green bib.

 

[Vader]

Who goes out for Hendo? Given his lack of match fitness I can't see him coming back.

Assuming we get Tippett & Porps back, the team we field next week will be our best 22 - bar none. Hendo would have to wait for a vacancy to open up and he probably won't be available until the finals anyway. I don't think we'll see him again this year, at least not in Crows colours.

 

[Elite Crow]

Stiffy has been good over the last two weeks up forward. Would be a kick in the guts to make him sub.
