Shouldn’t be throwing anyone a debut. He’s gotta earn it. Rather see Bo Allan come into the team than Champion right now

 

[Westend]

We need gov for the crows huge forward line

Biggest Jack fan boy and Bailey critic but Bailey stays after today. Excellent game as a back up ruckmen/forward and last week was frustrating but had some good moments. He’s now kicked 2 goals each in the last two weeks. Think those two double teaming rob can take him out of the game

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

In: Gov/Bazzo
Out: Owies (inj)

Gross into the 22 for Owies, a tall to come in to play on Thilthorp/Walker/Fogarty, Gov if he’s available, otherwise Bazzo. Cole to sub.

Champion deserves a game replacing Owies.

Bo doesn't play forward.

If Bo's back in, then Gross to start in Owies position is the other option.

Did dewar play in the wafl? I wouldn't mind him getting a shot at playing small forward his natural position instead of wing so it would be a straight swap. I'd keep gross as sub he was all over the place today but he's just young and a bit inconsistent.

Keep it as it is ....yes we struggle in the ruck both do...but Bailey is better suited as the forward 2nd ruck

Champion has been one of the most consistent performers at WAFL level and seems to alwayst get high praise from the coachs so if he does get a game he’s earnt it.

Out - Owies, Brock (Unlucky)
In - McGovern, Champion (Sub)

Gross gets a full game & Brock stays if Gov doesn’t get up.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Gov in, Crows are tall.

Worry about two rucks, three KPDs and two KPFs, but given Crows also skew tell maybe it is a necessary evil.

Gov for the Crown Jewel himself (injured).

Gross should play, stiff competition for the sub. Hutchinson? Cole? Very difficult to say.

I honestly would keep gross as the sub against the bigger bodies of the crowbots....gross smaller body will get hammered playing a full game

Just checked Malakai's wafl stats Edit: wafl site might be a bit buggy but i think he's only kicked 5 goals so far, highest he's got is 2 in one game. My mistake.

 

[Bender_]

Just checked Malakai's wafl stats he's averaging 6 goals a game this season. Get him into the side.

Averaging? I think you're reading Burgiel's page.

 

[Barrybran]

Why are people suggesting we bring Champion in?? We're already trying to find spots for Gross and Allan. We can't fit everyone in.

There isn't a chance they aren't continuing with the Flynn/Bailey combo.(barring injury)

Real selection headaches if Archer Reid and Gov are both available. Nice situation to be in

Owies being injured.

 

[THE A5]

If Govs not fit Allen can go back and Jack can come in.

The issue with adelaide is that all three of their talls are not only tall but strong at. Fogerty and tex not overly tall but hella a throng. Also Dan Curtin playing there at 197cm.

Adelaide’s talls will be a night mare. brock was good today but I can see Fogarty and Thrilthorp being way too big and strong for him.

Archer was due a break anyway prior to picking up a knock. For a front half turnover, generate pressure and scramble like crazy gameplan, you can’t change such a pressure-y, scramble-y lineup by bringing more talls in unless they have a dedicated role (eg Gov to match the Crows’ three talls).

A week in the WAFL will do him well.

got excited when i saw the attached image but after some investigation it appeared to be wrong

Owies being injured.

Just play Gross? I can't imagine Champion would play sub ahead of Allan either.

 

[stallon]

Brock/HEdwards -> Gov
Owies -> A.Reid

Probably Gross to stay as sub

Play Allen+Gov+ one of edwards/brock on the crows 3 KPFs, with Ginbey/Maric to cover Curtin if hes forward too.

Leaves Waterman+BWilliams+a.reid as our KPFs

Mini gets so rock hard over him but I’d blow up if Archer gets selected after averaging 4.75 touches and 0 goals. He needs a proper stint in the WAFL. Should be behind J.Willo as the next cab off the rank

A. reid has done sweet **** all in his last 4 games. Should have been dropped a long time before he got managed. Jack Williams well in front of him on form

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Cripps was showing up in the app as being out of the game injured late in the fourth. Anyone see what happened to him?

He was kicking the footy with his kids after the game, can't have been too bad.

Just trying to offer reasoning.
