Preview R9: Changes vs. Port Adelaide

[spenze]

Pre hip and groin injuries, Crouch was pretty quick over 2 metres.

Especially sideways

 

[crows dude]

They pulled Visentini out a couple of years ago to play us, didn't they? I remember him getting trounced by ROB.

ROB will have a field day. Put money on him winning showdown medal.

 

[WeeBlake]

Interesting.

Port panicking coming into the Showdown against one of the AFL's inform ruckman.

When considering ruckman who have played 5+ games in the ruck - Reilly O'Brien is currently #5 in hitouts, #3 for winning ruck contests, #5 for hitouts and #2 for hitouts to advantage despite being 12th for Ruck Contests.

ROB keeps playing like this and he could join Hart, Roo, McLeod, Goodwin,Thompson, Sloane, Laird and Dawson as a multiple Crows B&F winner.

Now you’ve gone too far

Or we can just drop him, because he doesn’t matter.

Could do. Bring in McAndrew. Not against it.

Imagine all the texting he could do while the game is on.

Tex goal: I’m gonna bash you

Thilthorpe goal: ooohhh you’re ****ed

Fog goal: watch your back campaigner

Willy: The AFL says I can do what I like.

[GROTTO]

AFL is so spineless, probably presented an offer with the option to Willie to withdraw himself, instead of suspending him.

 

[Scorpus]

A bit like when a coach comes to a "mutual decision" to step down

 

[GROTTO]

I think there is almost zero chance, Rioli or Port would want him to voluntarily step down.

 

[Ham]

Least concerned i’v been about selection that I can remember

 

[Trigger13]

Huge loss for them. Willie is an absolute weapon on his day. One less thing to worry about. They’ll be very reliant on Mitch G and Horne dog for their goals. The only classy players in their forward half.

 

[Crows I Am]

Although he would have been off his game due to the distractions, this is still a big loss for them. He always seems to play well against us.

On the flip side, this now gives Kenny some ammunition to rev them up again so they come out firing for the big Willie

Sadly SPP is quite a skillful player too....

Yeah he’s not bad on his day. For sure.

 

[Cromulant]

Season on the line, 2 huge home games to come.

Wouldn't be on brand for that club would it

 

[Scorpus]

Yep

 

[Afcprophet]

No excuses to lose this one. We should win comfortably if we are serious about playing finals

 

[Geoffa32]

Out Willie
In Atkins???

 

[MRB37]

Yep

"I quit!"
"You can't quit cause you're fired!"

Easy to suspend a bloke when he's already withdrawn from the game.

 

[jenny61_99]

Personally, I think Port are the weak as piss party here. AFL shouldn't have to punish him, the bloody Club should have.

Only a stupid club would’ve done that.

So, us, most likely.
