Are you really that dim or just being a smart ass, that was while McHenry and Murphy are unavailable with O'Connor or Hately moving into the midfield mix.

Now, now. That's now what you said.

And even then I disagree. He can't kick goals with 40k watching him.

Give Newchurch a run. Nothing to lose.

Is the game definitely in Perth or is there still some talk of it being played here?

The WA State governement eased alot ofrestrictions on Saturday, except a few, including those attending Optus stadium still have to wear masks. That expires midnight Friday though, so the game this Sunday won't really have any restrictions and they'll keep it at Optus, I'd imagine.

It wont be that though, it would be "Does SA allow people back in after being in WA, without isolating?'

As was Thilthorpe...

It's a development year. So develop him.

No one forward of centre ever develops in our crapulent SANFL side.

LOL Thilthorpe had been playing SANFL League 2 years prior to his draft Tariek hadn't played even reserves in his draft year.

His development should be at the next level and that's SANFL where he's struggled thus far even when he's had exposure on the wing, let alone his lack of 2nd efforts or no efforts at all.

Start with the injuries first

McHenry - Concussed by a dog act, just as he was starting to find a niche. Go fishing next weekend mate.

Murphy - Our ever dwindling small stocks take another hit. Looks like surgery is the go.

Now........

DMac - Back to the sub role

Tex - Time for a rest. I couldn't give a flying **** if he wants to play, he's flat and even a Showdown couldn't get him out of it. Saves Berg for a week.

ROB - Controversial but he's been trash. We're gonna lose the ruck anyway so leave him out.

IN

This is where it gets hard. We lose 2 smalls and have virtually nothing to bring in given McAdams lack of form.

Worrell - Just HAS to play. Kennedy, Darling, Allan and the resting ruck.... Faaaaaark.

ROC - Another very good game in the 2s and deserves a go back home to see what he has.

Newchurch - He isn't ready, but we've got no one else and we simply can't bring McAdam back in.

Jones - Looks to have found his role, whether or not he can do it at senior level is a question that needs answering.

Last 1 is tough. Do we go Hately again and tell him (and Berry) just to run with Sheed and learn from him. Do we bring Billy back to run through the ruck with Berg, has been in good form though I'd rather not. Or.... Do we go another tall defender with Murray/McAsey. The well is dry.

I think we go Hately for that last pick.

Need to persist with him

LOL I don't care.

We have no small forwards left. Next man up.

Giving Newchurch a taste at the level while McHenry is out won't hurt his development at all.

You're kidding of course, Newchurch is miles off AFL ready.

Give him a crack and see.

His SANFL form does not deserve selection.

But in a "rebuild phase" we should give decent blocks of games to all the guys we think are part of the next flag push.

Newchurch has the raw traits to suggest he could be.

Agree with this. Newchurch could have a couple of games up on the wing? Maybe he has when I haven't been watching

Needs to get involved in the action a bit more

He does get the odd rotation up there for 5 minutes or so, then he's gassed.

That's the worry.

“Needs to develop more in the SANFL“ is an argument with very little historical precedent.

Can anybody name one champion Crows player who had some massive SANFL apprenticeship?

Doedee probably the longest I can remember

It's not that he needs massive amounts of time, but he has some deficiencies that will see him flounder at the level.

Mind you, who cares at this point

Bang on, I just wish people would make informed comment because he has had runs on the wing and his 2nd efforts there are almost non existent at this time, likely tank related.

I could be a smart as and name almost the entire original Crows squad.
