Preview R10: Changes vs. Collingwood

[Jeffcrowe]

Hinge has played ok on Elliott before.

We are in trouble if Pies dominate inside 50's.

Even more so if we play one of our worst defensive players on their gun forward.

I’m with you now Micochek got up to play , glad we got butts in

I’d play Worrell on Elliot mainly

 

[Slime Roy]

Umpires
Simon Meredith (21), Nathan Williamson (22), Jacob Mollison (32), Peter Bailes (35)

I'm confused.
Which ones "The Quiff"
2 or 22?
I feel as though they both despise us.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

This is fair

And in the case of Elliott being more dangerous, I’d prefer to send Hinge to Hill

Why not Worrell on Elliot

Elliot is more a marking target than a ground ball crumber even though he’s good at both

Worrell can do both also and might actually make him a non event

Will be needed for Membrey

 

[Slime Roy]

So you're saying Butts on Cox?

Butts to Sidebottom

 

[FR0GGY]

Butts to Sidebottom

Cheeky

 

[GreyCrow]

In all these backline moves nobody wants to mention Wayne

And this is why Captain Furious your Wayne love is misguided

Yeah Wayne is there for offence and if he doesn’t give that then he’s not much value

Feel like his home game form is much better than away too which worries me

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I think I’d risk membrey a bit

 

[Huang LoWel]

Crows get smashed in every stat against Port except the scoreboard, all scribes agree you lose 95 games out of 100 based on those stats and yet no changes made to the team. Is Davis now indoctrinated cause I don't see anything changing now he is on board? Brisbane had no issue in losing him, his loss to Brisbane definitely hasn't effected their performance negatively.
Another dud joins the Crows or this club has very deep rooted issues... Hope I'm wrong and we beat Collingwood.

 

[Pugsley]

Oh cmon. No one is saying our defence sucked, what we are saying is Nicks stupid change almost cost us the game.

Had Port took their chances we lose pure and simple. Had Rioli played we lose.

Our midfield was getting flogged, how many variations did we run through there? Try anything different? How about running a tag?

Exactly. When the heat is on, he shits the bed.

 

[Moonwatcher]

He could stop picking guys that consistently shit the bed in big games…

He can't pick from someone else's list.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Can Berry tag Daicos?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Taylor will be sub

Definitely would’ve rested Tex. I guess they really are trying to get him to 300

Needs to play 13 of our 14 remaining regular season games to get there before finals.

Thats a fair ramble mate.

Has anyone done this joke before? It's the BF crew watching the game this weekend

Its difficult because ( in my opinion) thats a bridge too far and we will only have him hobbling around

I think the plan - if there can be any plan with the Crows) is we win enough games to play 2 finals - but that takes us deep again until we confirm it which again is counterproductive

It may be rest against West Coast and fingers crossed he stays fit and we play a final to give him a week before finals

 

[Samcro24]

There’s no rush to get Tex to 300.

We’re just doing what we do and flogging a senior player in the name of having all our experience on the park, fitness be damned.

Think about it. He’s still best 22 and contributing, whereas smith sloane and Thompson got a pension year.

He’ll get a contract for next year, even if he’s cooked and can only manage a couple of games.

If we were serious Saturday would be his last game.

One of those top 8 results was the Rankine free kick game as well. We also put 161 on against Essendon who since then are conceding 70ish points a game and are the only team to put on 100+ against the best defense in the league so far, Carlton.

The Crows are a good team this season and the last people coming to terms with that seem to exist in a bubble on this board.

We haven’t beaten a top team yet. Do that and then we can get excited.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

It would be a game-changer for the club and Nicks if we were to knock off Collingwood this week

Belief through the roof

Both quiffs do us in.

...But no wonder that alien Bayley Fritsch gets a few gifts from these two ...

I actually think Mollison goes ok. Maybe he can counter the Williamson effect.

 

[AFC979810]

Tha hell you on about?

There are only 15 players in the entire AFL that have kicked more goals than him this year. There are only 9 players (only 3 forwards) that have more goal assists than him this year

Now sure - he is not at his career best, but he is still deserving of his spot and an integral part of our team.

 

[Coopers]

Can Berry tag Daicos?

Not sure he can stick with him.

That said, Berry seems noticeably more powerful in the last couple weeks.

I guess you got to try to do something. Something better than nothing.

So we should give it a go. Berry probably a bit beastly in stoppages so if you can suck Daicos into the congestion then that helps.

Hes been coming off the bench as the sub, he SHOULD look more powerful than the guys around him.
