Preview Prematch discussion/changes vs Adelaide

[giantroo]

I think it will be a very conservative selection committee this week. We had a win and they think we are a chance to roll Adelaide in Tassi. Not sure how they fit Preuss and Waite into the team against Adelaide although I think Preussy might be a better option against Sauce.

Thomas and Swallow will come back in. If Waite is fit he will come in as well. LMac or Jmac will get pushed back to fill in for Fishy

What I think will happen:

Out: Mullet, Jed, Simpkin
In: Thomas, Waite, Swallow

Swallow and Thomas won't be coming in. Another week in the VFL.

Fingers crossed that he doesn't trip over any blades of grass or dislocate a shoulder due to a vigorous towelling in the shower room.

We don't have towels at North

 

[The Ardent Army]

SA or Hunter Valley.

Coonawarra - Leconfield is the business...

The way it should be

Do you know this for a fact, GR - or is it your opinion?

Mentioned in Brad's presser that they will bide their time in the VFL for another week and was also mentioned today on Fox News.

I really have no idea. However, I'd be OK with Waite and LT coming in for Mullet and Simpkin (if he is tiring, otherwise, we should keep him in). But, I wouldn't agree with dropping Jed. The GC game was the first time where he seemed to have confidence in his disposal. It was easily his best game for the club, even though it was a fairly low key performance. I can't recall him making a clanger, which set him apart from everyone bar Gibson onthe night. I'd expect him to up his disposal count this week - if he plays.

OK. However, I wouldn't be surprised if LT came in. Didn't he just play one week in the VFL when he last had the yips? He returned to the seniors and tore it up, I think. There's no way I can see Swallow returning any time soon. He played in the middle for Weribee. He'd need to be getting 30+ and even then there's no room in the middle for him - unless Cunnington stinks it up 3 times in a row.

You guys should be a safe bet. Kerridge isn't playing.

Coonawarra - Leconfield is the business...

Agreed [emoji485] [emoji4]

 

[FAILTOSUCCEED]

I'm assuming the "then Hansen out" is just something that was left in a buffer from a post from last year. There are 15 other players to go out before Lachie on present exposed form.

Nope. Lachie straight back to the VFL for ever once Waite returns.

 

[Caracas]

Nope. Lachie straight back to the VFL for ever once Waite returns.

Lol. I see what you're doing there.

Out: mullet ,Simpkin

Must say again am not happy Waite is in, at 1-5 and we rush back in a 34 yr old. Cannot see the reason why?

We're playing one of the most in-form and offensive teams of the last 20 years, we need scoring power. Daw's injured, you want to bring in McKay or Larkey to play this Crows team?

We're $6.50 to win, only way we're going to get remotely close to them is to score. Waite, Wood and Brown will need 12 between them. Adelaide will kick 18 goals minimum.

It's alright, we've got pep fraudulia and co to brighten the place up with positivity and lols.

Pep is the least of our worries I reckon. It's the negative nancies who don't at least have the grace to be entertaining about it that are dragging the joint down imo.

Mullett is injured and you want to drop another half back flanker in Atley? Never gonna happen.

McKay is also injured isn't he? Or coming back from injury...

 

[DrZaius]

Out: Mullet Gibson Turner

Gibson because he's played his good game for May and we can bring him back in June.

Are we sure this is actually Arjen and not a defective clone of some kind?

 

[Arthur Cloke]

Swallow and Thomas won't be coming in. Another week in the VFL.

I think that's only fair.
I've just landed up here in Tazzie on the red-eye. God it's cold. Bring your thermos flask SW. I'll fill mine with tomato soup and you fill yours with sake as we usually do. Haven't seen any of the players as yet. Most likely at the casino I assume.
With Waite back, Crows are in more trouble than the early saddlers. Wouldn't bother driving across Crows fans - keep your powder dry.

ADELAIDE star Eddie Betts sat out training, but says the six-day turnaround won't stop him from facing North Melbourne on Saturday.

The 30-year-old watched on as the Crows went through their paces at Football Park on Tuesday morning.

Betts was still feeling the effects of his side's 76-point win against Richmond at Adelaide Oval on Sunday.

Match preview: North Melbourne v Adelaide

"Since I'm a bit older these days, my body takes a lot longer to recover," Betts told Channel 9.

"When I was younger it would take me two days, now it takes me half a week.

"I'll be right."

Betts – who has played 259 games and is in his 13th season - needs just one goal against the Kangaroos at Blundstone Arena to reach 500 career goals.

All-Australian vice-captain Rory Sloane was on light duties at training as he recovers from a corked thigh.

Sloane had a bandage on his leg, but the champion midfielder is expected to make the trip to Tasmania.

The Crows will have a closed training session at Football Park on Wednesday morning.
