Preview Changes: R6 2019 vs St Kilda

[hey shorty]

I think I’ve seen what he’s got.

Makes an excellent SANFL player.

Would make a solid AFL mid too if we wanted to play him there. Much more rounded game than CEY

 

[Redleg Crow]

It's pretty crazy to go back and see exactly where our players debuted and in what circumstances. Since 2010:

Brodie Smith - Round 1, 2011. Immediately plays due to a lack of running players and starts as the sub

Daniel Talia - Round 15, 2011. Plays an entire year in the SANFL, then comes in after Bock leaves for Gold Coast, and Scott Stevens retirement. Plays almost exactly a month before Phil Davis announces he is leaving for GWS

Luke Brown - Round 16, 2012. Becomes clear that Michael Doughty would retire at the end of 2012 so gets a debut but plays only 3 games that season. Actually replaces Doughty who gets injured.

Brad Crouch - Round 2, 2013. Despite being an elite talent, we play Brad in the SANFL to start 2013! He had 31 touches in the SANFL, so we bring him in for BRODIE MARTIN. Yep, we played Brodie Martin over Brad Crouch

Rory Laird - Round 4, 2013. Spends an entire year in the SANFL, and comes in to replace Nathan Van Berlo who gets injured.

Kyle Hartigan - Round 18, 2013. Comes in for Ben Rutten who gets injured.

Matt Crouch - Round 3, 2014. Despite being a massive ball winner, an early draftee ready to go and coming off a season where we finished 11th, Matt starts the year in the SANFL. Comes in for Brad Crouch who gets injured.

Cam Ellis-Yolmen - Round 12, 2014. Spends two and a half seasons in the SANFL. Brought in for Matthew Wright who gets dropped. But CEY only plays one game then is immediately dropped, and doesn't play again that year.

Jake Kelly - Round 3, 2015. Comes in for Cheney who gets injured

Riley Knight - Round 15, 2015. Spends a year and a half in the SANFL. Comes in for Sloane who gets injured.

Rory Atkins - Round 16, 2015. Spends two and a half years in the SANFL. Gets brought in for CEY after we get smashed by West Coast

Wayne Milera - Round 1, 2016. Spot opens up after we delist Matthew Wright and Dangerfield leaves

Reilly O'Brien - Round 20, 2016. Comes in for Jacobs who gets injured

Jordan Gallucci - Round 9, 2017. Elite talent, but only plays a single game in the entire year, this token one after we drop Mackay.

Hugh Greenwood - Round 9, 2017. Comes in for Menzel who gets injured.

Alex Keath - Round 18, 2017. Comes in for an injured Hartigan

Tom Doedee - Round 1, 2018. Lever departs so a spot opens up for him

Darcy Fogarty - Round 1, 2018. Comes in for Walker who is injured.

Lachie Murphy - Round 1, 2018. Cameron leaving opens up a spot for him

Myles Poholke - Round 5, 2018. Comes in for Sloane who is injured

Patrick Wilson - Round 13, 2018. Comes in for one of three omitted players!

Elliott Himmelberg - Round 23, 2018. Comes in to play a token final round match when we finish out of the finals, with Walker injured

Chayce Jones - Round 1, 2019. Possibly earns it, possibly comes in for an injured Seedsman or an empty forward line spot

top work

 

[Scorpus]

top work

It's pretty crazy to see that if a player in your spot doesn't get injured, and you don't debut in round 1, you will find it nearly impossible to get a game

 

[craig crowing]

All of our draftees are very quick and very skillful. I wouldn't say very very small either

Yes that was obviously what they were doing but must back your strategy and give them a go. Made a bit of effort with Jones but this week Gallucci and Strachan could have been given a go.

Do you mean Sholl?

 

[lunacy]

Absolutely agree with this. I wonder if someone like Doedee was playing alongside Lever in 2017 whether we would have been even better?

Absolutely. He could have played instead of Kelly easily.

 

[Squiba]

Yes that was obviously what they were doing but must back your strategy and give them a go. Made a bit of effort with Jones but this week Gallucci and Strachan could have been given a go.

Strachan? Surely you jest?

 

[EddieWalker]

looks like Looch might get a game after all....

Excellent work, and if people didn't get injured or chase cash, our team would never change

 

[hey shorty]

[MRB37]

looks like Looch might get a game after all....

And if Gibbs comes over than Gooch is sitting for a second week in a row.

 

[MRB37]

??

Gibbs has/had gastro and didn't fly over.

 

[EddieWalker]

And if Gibbs comes over than Gooch is sitting for a second week in a row.

Surely Gibbs won't play now. If he still plays and Gallucci and Jones both miss SANFL then we're dumber than I thought.

 

[hey shorty]

And if Gibbs comes over than Gooch is sitting for a second week in a row.

Surely you wouldn't pick him if he's had gastro..... keep him as far away as possible

 

[jackster83]

And if Gibbs comes over than Gooch is sitting for a second week in a row.

If he does make the flight, wouldn't they just send one of Gooch/Jones back tonight?

 

[craig crowing]

Strachan? Surely you jest?

What the hell don't know how that happened of course meant Sholl. .Nether want to see Strachan play AFL for us unless massive massive improvement.

 

[hey shorty]

If he does make the flight, wouldn't they just send one of Gooch/Jones back tonight?

Just leave him home I say

 

[Scorpus]

It would be classic Crows to play a woefully sick Gibbs because 'experience' and then keep two first round picks that badly need game time out of the SANFL as travelling emergencies

 

[pjcrows]

You'd suggest Gibbs isn't playing.

 

[CrowinNT]

It would be classic Crows to play a woefully sick Gibbs because 'experience' and then keep two first round picks that badly need game time out of the SANFL as travelling emergencies

That is how we normally would roll
However I would be livid if he plays
We have probably all had that illness in our lives and it can knock you flat
Commonsense should prevail

 

[ad victoriam]

Story here re Gibb missing the flight.

[Scorpus]

I'd be a strong advocate for using the mid-season draft to select Matthew Wright who can become a dedicated travelling emergency.

For a club like ours, it'd be valuable to have a versatile, not-developing player that could be used in this specialist role

 

[mulz]

Gibbs is out, no way he plays if he has had gastro this week, no chance.

Gooch to come in for sure, Im comfortable with jones missing another week if he has too. 2 weeks rest after a concussion for a young kid isn't the end of the world.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Even if Gibbs was OK tomorrow, no way would he be able to perform. Gastro takes 2-3 days to get over.
Play Gooch.

I think Andy Otten has had a touch of this this year also
