Preview Changes: R23 vs Western Bulldogs

[CrowBloke]

Well done on losing a tip.

Juddernaut08 probably also tipped us to beat Carlton after the bye ...

 

[Elite Crow]

Elite Crow - send this to your mate Rowey.

* Rowie, that’s going to Fagan

 

[CrowBloke]

I've seen a couple of references to Otten playing. He's an emergency.

Yeah, but wait for it ....

 

[spenze]

I'm not sure if Jacobs is going to be smashing anyone

Besides our top 8 hopes?

 

[Kenny Dee]

We’re a joke

 

[dogspur]

Not sure why you guys omitted Reilly O'Brien. In the game we lost against St. Kilda, Rowan Marshall had a great game. Strong, aggressive, ball-winning ruckmen like O'Brien tend to match up well against us.

Jacobs will still stomp English in the hitouts, but English has a big advantage in mobility, and should beat him around the ground. I'd be much more worried if he was going against O'Brien.

 

[spenze]

We’re a joke

Are we Kenny? Are we?

I don't hear anyone laughing Kenny...

 

[Jars458]

Jacobs over O’Brien and he will get another year? I think I will now not renew. Ridiculous.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

So O'Brien finishes the season as he started.

Number two.

Our only positive from the season down the gurgler.

 

[King Elvis]

fu** Rowie, that’s going to Fagan

He'll just ignore it

 

[ad victoriam]

Ah, the classic "one game in the SANFL and straight back in" policy applies to Knight as well.

No Knight was a late out last week ruled out during the warm-up with a hip compliant replace by Jones,
All he did was prove his fitness and he regained his position in the team,
Jones showed Last week he was a better option than Murthy

 

[Murray2503]

Good call.

Won 10 for the year.

7 wins v bottom 6 Clubs, Suns x2, Saints x2, Sydney, Freo, Dees.

Beat depleted Giants, Tigers and Power. Remove these wins and we are a bottom 3 Club and we would have handed Carlton arguably Pick 3.

3 for pick 4.

 

[GROTTO]

3 for pick 4.

It wont matter, we got the player we wanted at Pick 4.

You went in heavy favourites to that one. Surprised most media pundits.

 

[douglyzia]

Is CEY now our most important player. We were losing until he was included in the senior side and we started winning: then he gets injured during the bye and it all goes to pear shaped.

Has there been any explanation as to why O'Brien was omitted?

Surely it can't be that they think Jacobs offers more? Surely.

It is, right?

Seems we've been begrudgingly selecting O'Brien for the whole season, dying for his form to taper a fraction so that we could resume normal service.

We'll be dragged kicking and screaming into anything resembling a rebuild.

 

[Cap]

I still have trouble following our selection policies. The whole season has just been truly bizarre.

I'd love to talk to someone in the selection committee to understand what the plan was.

 

[scoota10]

With the selection of Jacobs and leaving Obrien out it makes me think they (Adelaide)
are going to have a Big go at Grundy

They waited until he signed a contract extension and then...bang...back to the SANFL for you.

Jacobs now will get the chance to secure a contract extension and a spot for R1 next year.

No

We don't need Grundy when we are about to sign up Jacobs on a long term deal and have ROB putting pressure on in the SANFL

 

[GreyCrow]

I'm gonna play poker. If the club doesnt care , why should I

That was my easiest tip of the year. Saw that coming a mile away.

 

[WetCrow1991]

So many reasons not to renew a membership for everyone.

Burton sticking around.
Jacobs sticking around.
Club is ****ed.
Campo.
Selection policy
Club is ****ed.
Club is arrogant.

And the big one:

It isn't actually a real club, it is a fake, plastic franchise with season ticket holders to the most boring show in town and no way to remove the board.

Clubs have members, ours doesn't, or at least it does, but they aren't us.
