Preview R24: Changes vs. North Melbourne

[BRL121]

Hmm imagination - not sure I can handle this

They've been reading BF and listening to the suggestion of "Sid the Kid" on Last Crack.

 

[LiquidCrow]

Draper and Dowling in? We are so back.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Excellent selection, really you could argue we are just one player of our best 23.

Michalanney
Rachele
Rankine

3 of our best missing.

Or are you saying of those available?

 

[BigLefty]

So who goes out when Max and Rach are fit?

Smith and unfortunately Draper

 

[Samcro24]

Rankine: "ok now Sid, run to the pocket and kick an inside out torp on your non preferred and get us that goal"
Sid: ...

 

[PrideofSA]

So who goes out when Max and Rach are fit?

Bond or smith for Max and Dowling or Draper for Rachele

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

After the distraction of this week, probably best to not rest anyone. Need all heads in the game.

Very excited to see Sid.

We can manage players during the game, including subbing off an important player if we have the game in hand.

 

[Multiballz]

In a game of 2 vs 2, does Dowling and Draper come anywhere close to matching Rankine and Murphy?

Probably not as bad as it looks on paper.

 

[hippyhippy]

Who's actually gonna play the small fwd role? Cause I really don't think draper is.

 

[CrowBloke]

Draper might end up being the wild card this finals series.

How about Draper and Dowling both burning it up ...?

 

[Crows I Am]

So who goes out when Max and Rach are fit?

Bond out for Max and either Sid or Dowling for Rach. They both have 2 weeks to audition for that last spot available.

 

[WetCrow1991]

WetCrow1991 and Froggy,
BREAKING NEWS!!
IN: Laird, Dowling, Draper
OUT: Rankine (suspension), Schoenberg, Murphy (omitted)

(relax: just kidding, I know this time it's old news... )

Murphy IN last week, underperformed as expected/predicted by BigFooty, dropped.
Again.
I can't help but wonder how many times it's gonna take for Nicks to wake up.
Either Draper or Dowling (or a cardboard cut-out of Eddie, just to scare'em) would have been a better choice last week.

I'm very happy to see Draper and Dowling IN for this game.
Too bad it's taken Rankine's suspension and another Murphy dud-game, for it to happen.

Great work. This reminded me to check the team.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

They've been reading BF and listening to the suggestion of "Sid the Kid" on Last Crack.

Reckon 1st Crack is the best football show.

Montagna has surprised me as being good to listen to & decent caller of the game too.

King gets excited by watching us.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Who's actually gonna play the small fwd role? Cause I really don't think draper is.

Will be Draper, but hope we rotate the midfielders rhrough more.

Also, have Keays, ANB & Taylor who will play significant minutes forward.

Jay Clark sucks, though

 

[Danger in Texas]

Great changes given the circumstances. Looks like Smith will be sub

 

[Crowstar]

I've just come home from the moon. Why is Rankine out? Good news re Murphy.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Jay Clark sucks, though

He's ok as a host, but it's the other 2 doing most of the analysis. Dixon is ok too.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Bond out for Max and either Sid or Dowling for Rach. They both have 2 weeks to audition for that last spot available.

Forgetting Smith.

 

[Huntercrow]

The dream has become reality.

Schoenberg unlucky though.

Judged on 1 quarter of football. I thought he did ok. Was never about consolidating a spot. Just filling a gap.

 

[JP Sauce]

Great that Draper is starting in the fwd pocket. Hearing that he will be wearing an ear piece with Izak directing him video game style.

"Great goal, now to really rub it in! Run over to him and call him a....."

 

[WetCrow1991]

He said as much in his interview on 5AA earlier this week, he knows with a full team that the sub is his role. Also happy with that as he just wants to be part of some potential success.

His role with a full team is in the SANFL.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

So by the time our first final rolls around it’ll likely be Michellaney for Smith and Rachele for Bond, with one of Draper or Dowling as the sub. That’s probably the strongest overall lineup we’ve fielded for a couple of months.

 

[ams4crows]

Forgetting Smith.

I think Smith stays the sub through the finals series

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Thilthorpe could kick about 3 million against that defensive 6, wow
