Preview Changes vs Sydney

[Elite Crow]

But but I didn't read one positive post about his game and NTRabbit has a friend who said he was poor

 

[Bacon8]

Meanwhile, Shutts just tweeted saying Crouch is back in the side!

He also tweeted Lyons will miss.

Bugger. Injury or what?

Would have thought we could use somebody with his clearance skills against a side like Sydney.

Probably being rested. Was a pretty brutal game last week.

 

[Freddy Bassett]

I hope Lyons is being rested. In fact I wouldn't mind if we rotated our kids... Keep them fresh

Thanks for your input claymonk. In fairness, I didn't invent the word. The only thing otherwise I would point out is the sentence in bold is yours, not mine heh.



I mean, it's not as if you must adopt free thinking, but it helps in exposing the world for the sham it is.

"the" language

"the" meaning

Can you not see that your brain has adopted arbitrary assumptions, and that you are talking about something else? Language evolves quickly. The OED doesn't.

Not sure I agree with you often Amer on footy matters however on this point, I hear you.
However, lets get back to footy talk.

Yep, if Lyons is dropped and Porps remains then insanity has prevailed

 

[Crow-eater]

Shutts is also saying Wright is on the emergency list.

I know we all love Lyons because hes only 20 years old, he had a very good game against North Melbourne, but has he really been that good otherwise?

He's been great IMO. His work in the middle has been outstanding for a player of his age and experience level. He's one of the few we have who will look for an option out of a tight contest rather than just slam it on the boot.

Why cant Reilly be rested????

Yes. And he will only get better and better. The same question you asked could have been aimed at Laird before last week, or Kerridge the week before. Their best is already good enough for AFL footy, now they just need to find some consistency.. They can't find that playing SANFL

 

[Freddy Bassett]

What I meant was I hope he is being rested due to soreness and not dropped back to SANFL.

 

[radiojake]

Because there's no need to 'rest' Reilly..

He's either omitted or injured..

There is no inbetween

Lyons is not a KID, he is in his third year of senior football. He turns 21 next month, let's be gentle on the lad? Give me a break.

Question; What does Geelong call a 21 year old KID

Answer; Skipper

Nevertheless, if I had to choose between playing Crouch or Lyons I would play Crouch. If I had to choose between Lyons or Porplyzia/Mackay then I would play Lyons. Perhaps he's injured/sore which has nothing to do with being a 21 year old.

I really look forward to seeing him with another pre season under his belt, I reckon the coaches will want to see him impact a few more contests. I think there a re still a few reservations and I think its about his ability to cover the ground.

a 20 year old in my book is a kid

 

[BUTTON 92]

If Lyons isn't injured the selectors have lost the plot.

Or Shutts could be wrong. He's had a good record this year, but he wasn't always right last year.

Well to many Crows fans in the members stand Graham Cornes is a KID so I guess it is all a matter of perspective.

The term KID usually relates to a teenager who is in the first or second year of his first AFL contract. You can hardly compare Jarryd Lyons to Lachie Whitfield who was playing under 18's last year, is still 18 years old and has played 9 games this season. Jarryd has had three pre-seasons and is now well and truly capable of playing a full season of AFL (form permitting).

 

[Smoooothy]

are we really being this pedantic...

 

[Crow-eater]

Mackay/Thommo are going to be named. Sando said as much. They just need to get through the fitness test tomorrow, and we'll know whether they're playing.

I'm sure more will come to light when the SANFL teams are named soon.
