Preview R21: Changes vs. Geelong Cats

[crows dude]

Murphy still.
aarghhhh

 

[ams4crows]

I can not believe Stengle was unconscious and non responsive in a nightclub last weekend and he's still getting a game this week?

How are the AFL allowing this?

 

[George CantStandYa]

I hope Curtin is NOT the sub. If he is not sub, then good enough changes

He’s locked and loaded as the sub which is just shit.

 

[OldCrowBloke]

I still care. They can’t be blamed for the coach.

Deep down I do still care. My frustration is with opaque selection policies.
Really hope Curtin can finally get a full game.

 

[crows dude]

In good news

Dowling, Taylor, Nankervis all in the starting 18

 

[ABAB]

Murphy still.
aarghhhh

What were you expecting? He kept his "shape" by not covering Impey so did what Nicks wanted him to do.......

 

[Hbanger]

Curtin named first up on the bench. Hopefully that means not the sub. Taylor and Dowling on the field good.

Crouch in, hmmmmm.

Murphy holds his spot

 

[Jeffcrowe]

There's a few questionable players that have been retained but this is one of the better sides we've put out in 2024

Shame it took until round 21

Add Rankine to this next week and it’s probably our strongest side for year

 

[Bearded Clam]

Yeah.. lets drop cook.. but keep that useless waste of oxygen murphy

Just fxxk off nicks you ********

 

[Brett Cummings]

Nicks is primus coaching port levels of shit.

 

[Scorpus]

He’s locked and loaded as the sub which is just shit.

Laird Crouch and Berry is a crap mix. Berry has to be sub.

Rankine for Murphy next week

 

[betterthanu]

Pretty good changes really. Probably the most fan friendly team named this year

 

[Owen_AFC97]

Curtin is an absolute certainty to be named as sub after looking at who else is on the bench.

 

[ams4crows]

Clinging to the performance bounce recalling seniors. Shocking.

I would not call Dawson Worrell and Murray "seniors"

The Seniors are Tex Smith Laird and Crouch

Crouch's selection is fine as we have basically all our other young mids in the team that we want to see.

Swap Murphy for Rankine and it's the best team we've put out this year

 

[cmndstab]

Curtin stating in is good, but surely he couldn't be sub again.... could he?

 

[cmndstab]

Curtin is an absolute certainty to be named as sub after looking at who else is on the bench.

Berry perhaps?

Smith still not in but named as emergency. So was he dropped for illness last week or was that just a cover story?

 

[Owen_AFC97]

Just goes to show with Lachie Murphy that sucking up to the right people in any organisation goes a long way.

 

[Owen_AFC97]

Berry perhaps?

Smith still not in but named as emergency. So was he dropped for illness last week or was that just a cover story?

If they’re serious about retaining Berry then he won’t be sub.

 

[aabp1978]

Geelong…all you need to know…

 

[cmndstab]

If they’re serious about retaining Berry then he won’t be sub.

I'm not sure they really care that much about retaining Berry. Perhaps just one quarter as sub to see if he "works" in a midfielder already containing Laird and Crouch.

 

[CrowToon]

Not had overall but Cook has shown more than enough to persist with and get games into.

 

[1990crow]

Bond as sub?
Only Murphy left as simply had to be replaced.

 

[1990crow]

Not had overall but Cook has shown more than enough to persist with and get games into.

No, I think Cook asked to be dropped with his form.

 

[cmndstab]

Not had overall but Cook has shown more than enough to persist with and get games into.

Cook was awful last week and has only been just barely good enough prior to that.

 

[Trigger13]

Just get rid of the sub already, AFL. It ruins careers.
