Crows 2019 injury and fitness thread with regular updates.

[hey shorty]

So for the record "up to 2 months" puts the date on his return at May 5th or earlier. So that's round 7.

Let's see how accurate that plays out

Is that Showdown round ??

Showdown is round 8

 

[hey shorty]

You know there is one choice. And only one choice.

David Mackay.

Oh good god no.

Jake Kelly it is then !!!

I think the choice will be between Kelly and Mackay. Two bad options

 

[Pea Nut]

Hasn't Murphy played as a small defender previously?? Could be an option. Play Jones forward.

“Conservative management of an ankle impingement issue.”

And we were doing so well without bullshitting

He was going to play anyway. This just saves them from having to drop a promising youngster.

At least we know Kelly can defend.

 

[MRB37]

Too slow.

Brown isn't that quick either.

 

[Elite Crow]

It’s a pity they haven’t tried Murphy during the preseason in defence. With the smalls we’ve brought in, do we really need Murphy as a small forward?

Still one game to go.

We will soon find out

 

[hey shorty]

Perfect chance to do it. Didn't think we missed Brown too much on the weekend but Port play a fair few talls.

 

[Bicks]

Too slow.

I'd back Jake Kelly over Luke Brown pace wise. Lachie Murphy played a heap of hbf/bp in the SANFL in his 1st year with us and did supremely well.

Kelly gets Brown’s spot IMO.

Kelly is a better lockdown defender than Mackay by a mile. Has to be Kelly. And we don’t need to rely on him for defensive run with smith back along with Milera and laird

I thought that too until the match here in Darwin and I was very superprised by his pace

 

[mattymac]

Murphy's kick would worry me a bit in defence.

What about McHenry?

Think we'll just play Kelly though

 

[BRL121]

It begins!

Should we put Brad on ice now until rd1...or rd 16?

And so it does. Carefully managed so that surgery is delayed to the most inconvenient time. Can we look forward to similar for Thor now?

Thor is in full runninh training and has been for weeks.

Nothing wrong at all with Murphy's field kicking generally.

Bugger.

Please no DMac. Murph or Kelly

No real drama.

Shuffle Smith to a back pocket, shift Milera up forward, leave either Jones or McHenry out.

That leaves a vacancy at half back for a run and carry player....lets see, who’s left that can fill that role

I'd much prefer Kelly over Dmac.
Actually I'd prefer an inanimate broomstick over Dmac.

Well enough to be promoted, surely the club has to look at him.
