The cupboard is hardly bare like last year...as our sanfl team is winning/top of the ladder & we don't have many injuries.

SANFL performance isn't the be all and end all ask Grigg
The problem we have is players like Jones has had a crack and isn't quite ready for the big league as the results have shown and probably Fog and even EH
Im a little puzzled why Wilson or Stengle aren't given a run and maybe Pohlkoke deserves 4 or 5 games like Jones had

If Douglas and Mackay stink it up tomorrow, they get retained for Gold Coast, Essendon, Carlton and St Kilda to beat up on some crappy teams to justify their selections for finals.

We really need to start bring in some of the new young guys ASAP . Douglas and Mackay can not play those matches regardless.

I feel like he knows maybe 6 of our SANFL players, at most.

So a bit of catching up to do since yesterday...
I see there was a 2 for 1 deal on potatoes.
I am literally so disgusted that Douglas didn't get dropped for his effort last week that I struggle to care.
We're obviously not in this comp to win. To win it you need to be uncompromising. Yet the definition of the crows is compromising.
We always think we can carry one or two nice blokes. Carry them to a milestone. Gift them an appearance in a final. Give them a game when they're feeling down.
This is why, although we are consistently good, we are never good enough to reach the pinnacle.
A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, yet our culture compels us to consistently carry weak links.
It might not hurt us this week (probably will), but it will 100% hurt us down the line.

Then we likely lose. Tex and Jenkins, despite their detractors, are match winners. We lose an enormous amount not having them in the side due to the fact that we don’t have anyone who comes close to producing what they are capable of. This is simply not true of thirty something old Douglas and Mackay.
I’m not so phased about Mackay coming in, his form earlier this year was pretty decent. Would prefer a young guy, but whatever. But the continual selection of Douglas is mind boggling. This may have been pointed out earlier, but fun fact: Douglas has scored one goal as a half forward from his last ten games. In that time he has averaged a single centre clearance a game for those wanting to okay the “he rotates through the middle” card. His disposal efficiency and turnover rate is appalling, considering the fact that most of his disposals are uncontested. He has been terrible and is an absolute liability...
...but am now well prepared for him to kick three in a match winning performance tomorrow... I hope. I really do. It just seems unlikely given his form and age.
I totally agree on tex and JJ they need to be in form for us to have any chance of a flag
Mackay I agree has had a good year is the hardest two way runner we have and certainly doesn't mind putting his body on the line
Douglas also agree on I would try stengle he has kicked a lot of goals in the twos but I guess pyke has his reasons and is backing Douglas to find his form

Marty expects kids to come in and dominate the AFL, not realising that most of them will gradually build into AFL level players.
Given then a game, dropping them, another game, dropping them - none of this is going to assist their development and speed up their progression into quality AFL players.
"He tries really hard."
That should not be the justification for selection; especially for 200+ game player.
Love these melts, and because of them I am feeling more confident the Crows will win, Just like the last time selection melt hit the big time.

Sounds like Kern is trying to divert attention from himself and his poor coaching. We've heard it all before Kern. maybe concentrate on coaching rather than what the opposition's marketing team has been doing for the last 20+ years

Ken Hinkley takes aim at cross-town rivals for claiming the Crows are the club for all South Australians
And theres the problem with us having our reserves in the SANFl.. It drives me crazy that people who call themselves crows supporters dont support the team in the SANFL. I love the Norwood footy club. Been a supporter of them since the late eighties when Dad started taking me. But my passion is the Crows. For us to do well in the AFL we need all our players SANFL and AFL playing well. With that hopefully comes wins int both comps and maybe even a premiership in both. I want see this year in the SANFL finals AO packed out filled with red, Blue and yellow. Not like 2016 when hardly anyone went. Cmon guys lets support the whole club and start getting to the SANFL matches.

I think we're past all this aren't we? Surely that routine stopped being relevant 15 years ago?
What's next, he'll take the team over to the cheer squad at 3/4 time?

I said question his endeavor -
In other words he gives it all he’s got.
I find that a very good reason for selection
