What were the odds for Crocker re? Yiayia said to put a gorilla on him for her. Like the Sack's mom in the 2010 replay. The woman is a prophet re.

This
For us locals in Sydney, it takes both an afternoon and an evening timeslot. So in order to go to the game, you need to be free in both the afternoon and the evening. Not much better for the folks watching on TV.
Daft scheduling is daft
It must be because of Fox Footy, they never want games to clash, they have to run back to back to back. But who really is that keen to watch 3 AFL matches in a row?
Nothing wrong having 2 Saturday afternoon games at once, there used to be 6 Saturday afternoon games at once or God forbid two Saturday night games at once.
But scheduling at twilight, dinner time as you say takes up afternoon and evening and is just an odd, random time to start.
I'd like to go watch a local footy game this afternoon but I can't because I'd miss the AFL but it's still 6 hours away... Joke.

Not sure the point of your reply? We might scrape into second on percentage if we lose a single game?
You obviously didnt remember Cox's game last year against Hawthorn. Did they drop him?
Naaaahhhh
Wills got an extended run. Maybe they think they worked so hard to get in they won't drop them off the back of a single possibly off game and give them a chance to settle in to see if they can offer something. It would be pretty hard to jump from VFL to AFL and stand out immediately.

Both sides have so many players missing pretty much anything can happen

Redemption can be a powerful force
I know Crocker is not the most popular of players, but anybody who saw his early games knows he is capable of so much more than what he dished up last week.
Besides, not sure that we have too many other options who can replace him?
Stephenson is suspended.
JT is MIA
Wells is injured
Elliott is injured
Goldsack maybe
Daicos maybe
Anybody else?

Apart from the fact they stuck him in JT's coffin in the forward line after he's been killing it on a wing in the ressies I'm guessing this has something to do with it
Unavailable:
Elliott Greenwood Moore Langdon Thomas Stephenson Beams Wells Reid Dunn Tohill Murphy Kelly Murray Noble?
Touche. Not my best work but he was never going to be dropped.
Buckley doesnt make knee jerk selection decisions based on single games. With four new injuries and based on Crockers relatively better last quarter last week compared to the first three he correctly warrants a second chance.
Hes competing with Daicos who was jusyt dropped himself after getting a good run, or Thomas whos had an extremely good run befor being dropped. . Or do we want to bring in T Brown yet? Crocker is the correct, natural choice for this week.

Good coast game may end up being very important
Why wait for the Gold Coast game? A ten goal win today would be a good start!!!

Interesting game today. I'm not as convinced as some that we're definitely back to our best footy (whatever that looks like) given that I felt West Coast submitted to an extent in that last quarter even though we played really well too. What I think was most important about last week was the confidence that comes with a win like that which is important for the mentality of the playing group. GWS need a response, so I feel it will be a tight finish like last week but I like our inclusions this week.
Maybe just seeing what he can do if we need to call upon him.
We know what we’ve got with Shaz- still, would like to see him get some games over the next month
He was suspended!

So his own actions caused him to go statless, well that was a bad game then
He did kick the winning point..
Exactly!! He wasnt dropped

He put us in front, but Grundy kicked our last point. They got one rushed behind after Brody's point.
I would guess they want to keep the run from defence.
Shaz lacks attacking drive in his game wether by foot or run and link.
His KE numbers are inflated too the other week where he ran at 100% there were many kicks that were just kicks down the line to non advantage and come to ground.
He very rarely cuts through with his kicks normally safe short sideways or 40m down the line to contests.
Would like to see him take the game on more with ball in hand.
Also like to see him trialled down forward as he was very good at both ends of the ground as a junior.
He has a great footy brain and clean hands overhead his kicking style suites kicking for goal too.
