Imagine the melts if we keep Douglas in the side and drop Jones for Mackay

Your evil!

 

[Bender20]

Cameron basically stopped and waited for Betts to dive on the ball then kicked him in the head.

Dermis thinks that's clever.

Then, in response you can expect a significant proportion of the board to turn to focusing on bagging Jones to justify it.

'He just doesnt get a lot of it. Really concerned. Wouldnt play for another 2-3 years.'.

 

[jenny61_99]

He’s only playing for a spot.

That’s what I mean! Far too casual.

Man he would fear for his life.

 

[Murray2503]

Rule changes have not changed anything. Well done Afl. Useless.

 

[Elite Crow]

Not going to happen

 

[jenny61_99]

What a shocking game of football. The 6-6-6 is really working, not.

First half was good quality. After half time, it was bruise free footy.

 

[Elite Crow]

Calm down

 

[Huntercrow]

Good hitout.......and no injuries!

 

[rocket18]

Nicely done.

Big take away from the preseason.

B. Crouch is set for a great year.

Tex is starting to hold his marks and finding his touch.

Sloane, Eddie & Smith looking injury free.

Looks like it was worthwhile getiing the guy who knows how the KangaTech machine works, bloody Burton had the screen upside down.

 

[GROTTO]

LOL, I went to see the neighbours. You would think GWS were the better team on the night. Salty.

 

[Elite Crow]

Can’t believe people are criticising the game when a) it’s a trial game b) both clubs come off short breaks and c) it was bloody hot last week.

It was always going to meander out

 

[ditroia]

That’s what I mean! Far too casual.

He did a fair bit last week, and he’s only played a quarter. I wouldn’t worry if he’s not burning with desire. Let’s wait for an actual game that counts.

 

[huludicidal]

Looks like Round 1 we’ll see...

B: Kelly - Talia - Doedee
HB: Laird - Hartigan - Smith
C: Milera - B Crouch - Seedsman
HF: Lynch - Walker - Atkins
F: Betts - Jenkins - Knight
R: Jacobs - M Crouch - Sloane
Int: Jones - Murphy - Douglas - Gibbs

Emg (from): O’Brien, Keath, Greenwood, Ellis-Yolmen, Fogarty, Mackay

Only question marks are whether the selectors will go with Keath or Hartigan (seems to me like they’re leaning towards Kyle), and whether they’ll opt to rush Greenwood in over one of Jones, Knight, Murphy or Douglas.

Kelly is not the way I’d go, but it’s clearly happening.

 

[mistylake]

Not a bad game earlier. Quite hard at it and we out classed the team of first rounders. Que was in the rack later but still a few moments from Fog and Jones to inspire confidence.

 

[Bay62]

Did Tex just give Shaw a mouthful as he walked off??

Never gives an inch Tex

 

[Golumless]

He’s only playing for a spot.

He wasn't even playing for a spot seeing we don't have anywhere we could play him.

He was there just because.

I'm preparing myself for that exact scenairo, this is the AFC afterall.

 

[Carmo]

Both sides seemed really focussed on ball movement through traffic and defensive setups but not much else. Seemed very laid (both teams) after half time. On the onehand no need to go crazy, on the other hand why not practice round 1 stuff properly, we must be pretty confident we can bring it.

 

[Bonkers000]

I think our tackling is the best I’ve seen from a crows team so far. It’s not so much the numbers, we’re making them stick.

Game was hot till HT, then it was just a training exercise for both teams.

 

[LiamPickering]

Chayce Jones' kicking is really, really good.

 

[FAITH]

Pretty crazy Stengle isn't in our best 22.

 

[earlsta]

We've had 12 guys get over 20 touches.
Wonder when the last time that's happened for us, I'd suggest a very long time. Maybe in games where we've won by over 100, but not close-ish games like this.
