2016 Non-Crows AFL Discussion - Cont. in Part 2 (link in OP)

[Mattrox]

Why? He's not hurt I don't think, just not having Danger around his feet to help as much.

I'd consider resting Walker if his foot is still causing issues, but preferably we'd go in full strength and try and put on a massive beating.

We don't make any cutesy changes while the team is bedding down Pyke's gameplan. Full strength.

yeh losing bailes was the beginning of the end for sando

He's clearly not running out games well and took a knock against Sydney. I think he's best managed so yes fresh all year.

We've got a big 2 weeks after and need him fresh and we can afford it this week against Freo's 2nd string ruck.

 

[SmegHead]

Was a brilliant interview. Freo have put the cue in the rack. We should win well, and as I posted in the changes thread, use as a chance to rest Jacobs.

You would think that with no Sandi to counter, it would be the perfect opportunity to upgrade ROB and give him a go at the big time.

 

[PrideOf]

To be fair they had no trade currency, McCarthy only popped up late in the trade period and they had already done the Bennell deal.

Honestly, their needs were forwards, forwards and then more forwards.

Getting Bennell was nice, but not necessary.

 

[MRB37]

Which looks like a complete waste of a trade now.

 

[Paladin]

Bennell? They got him cheap and he will be a gun for 10+ years. Hardly a waste.

 

[Cap]

Crows still 800k in the salary cap. Good times #Hurley #Heppel

Really? That much? You'd think they would already have that earmarked for someone.

Cornes mentioned it on the radio, as said previously not sure how he'd know though

I agree, keep it full throttle until at least the bye, possibly even for a couple of weeks after that, then if W/ L is looking good we can do a tiny bit of experimenting.

Reported in the newspaper here that Hooker has gone overseas and will consider a bid from North/Hawks/Freo for an $800k contract, said he would prefer not to leave Melbourne.

Could be duck season at the Bombers if some players start walking.

Glorious day at the G. Huge atmosphere, feels like a granny.

Regardless of all the shite, it's still a huge occasion

Cracker of a weekend for you. Jealous!

Lol - been brilliant. The pleasant surprise was that Ess Crows gets you into AFL members any game bar today and finals, so Melb v Rich was a freebie.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Hope he does well today

Anyone else get annoyed/sad seeing Vince do all of Melbourne's marketing?

 

[PrideOf]

I'm not saying the pre-match entertainment is full of old farts, but the tour is sponsored by APIA.

That's all.

 

[NikkiNoo]

Nope. I wish him all the best. It was the best for us and best for him in the long run.

Nah. Good on him.

 

[GreyCrow]

I was thinking the same thing.

Wonder if the Port fans are going off. They stole their pre-game experience

 

[Tex200]

Superb pre match - old Aussie fave songs with Brathwaite, JPY, Jon Stevens, and Kate cebrano.

Why would we waste money with hack overseas performers? This is GOLD!!

 

[fabs33]

Nope. I wish him all the best. It was the best for us and best for him in the long run.

I don't believe he's playing a whole lot better for Melbourne than he was for us. As for the trade I think it was good for us but I would've preferred not being in the circumstances where we needed to make up for lost picks. I just find it annoying seeing him being used as a marketing tool for another club, a club he has little connection to all because of a mistake made by someone like Trigg.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

What's the go with Tim Broomhead this season?

 

[pjcrows]

Trengove 1 week.

Gray another fine for his off-the-ball hit.

About 20 players fined for both melees.

Rance 2 weeks.

 

[hey shorty]

What's the go with Tim Broomhead this season?

He's been a bit dusty in the reserves......

Yep I said it.
