[LFC2010]

proves my thought even more that Richmond tanked that match against Adelaide.

 

[Magus]

Sydney could absolutely wreck them next week.

 

[OneGreatClub]

So Elbows was explaining that...

• The Crows have Key Position players, forward and back, who can only play in those positions.
• Because they have been winning with these specialist players over the past few years they have only ever played them in these positions .forward or back. (i.e. Eddie, Jenkins etc etc)
• Therefore their players lack flexibility to play different positions when things aren't going well......

...meanwhile at Port...

Even Dimitri Aish looks to have turned the corner #ourbucks

so about 50% of their membership

R. Slone - 0 Tackles

Didn't wanna hurt his future teammates.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

He will play mostly in the midfield for most of his career and rest up forward (and better equip to kick multiple bags).
Mark it.

He'll get his head knocked off if he doesn't stop the teenage faux tough guy shit

 

[240volt]

Oh wow, we get to watch this again next Friday... nice.

Yeah the Buddy Show should be good viewing

Looked like a player tonight.

 

[simmo_bc]

I’d have Steele Sidebottom in my team every day of the week, such a pure footballer.

 

[ABAB]

What are Betts (Turned 31 last November) and Jenkins (turned 29 in February) getting paid for the next 2-3 years again?

Yikes.

Jenkins body hasn't been under stress of that of a typical footballer and only started playing football full time in his early/mid 20s and he is agile for a big man. Quality small forwards can play until mid 30s and both are reportedly only on $550K contracts.

Well well ... they have over 80,000 members and only 45,495 turned up ...

Oh .. how many were Collingwood supporters ...

 

[philreich]

One of the most pleasing things to come out of tonight's result is that Elspeth Hussey will now be miserable all weekend.

Yeah, you earn that rep as a youngster by playing a hard game. Not sniping or shirt fronting people who can’t hit you back for fear of suspension.

w***er.

Lol, he’s every bit their little Toumpas.

Betts is cooked.

Gee thanks for setting us straight fella!

Elbows is spot on.. they have no flexibility in their side when all teams are moving toward this strength.. only a total rebuild can change it.

5aa call ins tonight have been a crashing disappointment. The fans are in as shit a form as their team.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

I can't believe Milera has turned out such a strong vanilla flavour

 

[simmo_bc]

Would love Murray running off the half back flank for us.. Murray/Bonner/Jasper delicious!

 

[Burningleviathan]

Sloane couldn't handle the tag last year until the media then the umps came to his rescue. I wonder if he'll get the same treatment again or whether teams will be able to tag him this year. He may struggle if he isn't getting the five or so frees he was getting when tagged last year and with no other quality midfielders available there may be an obvious approach for Crows opponents to take.

Milera Vanillera?

Tell me about it! One of the great things is 5AA talkback after a Crows loss!
