Roast Are We The Dumbest Team in the League? The Evidence Says... YES!

[LoBu]

Sounds like a lot of posters here should just go and watch a crow's sanfl game, geez I don't mind resting up but who wants to be dropped to give a player a game who is not as good??

I'm surprised we haven't come out and said we want to be the "best side out of the eight" yet.

Atkins is the only one I'd drop. His effort was Hampton-esque on the weekend.

CEY can be the emergency.

Everyone else I'd just put on ice for the rest of the year.

Putting them on ice is the same as dropping then unless injured

How does one get a stress fracture, as opposed to an ordinary fracture, in a non-load-bearing bone?

Well my sisters is a medical condition caused by too many years on bisphosphinates after a bone marrow transplant, I’d suspect Talia’s is an impact injury.

Right now, dropping players for someone not as good isn't a concern. It's about fulfilling contract obligations (monetary bonuses which are close, and potentially extra years should a player be worth it), and getting players off to surgery early now.

They might not be as good now.
Giving them a game now gives them an idea of whats required at the top level.
The only way to get better is to play someone better than you.
The experience they gain is highly valuable.
If they get a call up in the future because of injury, they are going to be a far better prospect than not exposing them prior.
Lets say Lever got injured in GF week, Oh I dont know, lets just say "someone" cleaned him up at training by "accident".
Would you want to bring Doedee in to debut in the grand final or would you rather he had a couple of games under his belt?

 

[CrowBloke]

Not contesting the tackle is intelligent call number 1. Talia has been mentioned as being sore in the media.
I can smell a tank.

Diesel, or exhaust fumes?

Man conversations are a load of wank. Especially when right now we shown we deserve only contempt.

Reality is we've done a lot of damage this season to the trust of this group, both in stating from the very beginning that we don't trust them to get the job done, to absolutely destroying any chance of success by keeping on an inept fitness staff. If I was an key player and was then denied a bonus with the promise of next year would be better after all of the aforementioned shit, I'd be out of the club at the first chance I'd get because it's another slap in the face in what has been a year of continuous ones.

I'm all for resting players, providing it doesn't potentially burn bridges. Denying a monetary bonus would easily do that.

We’re now discussing this like it’s a reality it.

If it is; which I doubt, pay him anyway. And injury doesn’t generally count against those bonuses, especially for a player of Talia’s caliber.

I look at the title of this thread and immediately think 'Yes, yes we are'.

Then I remember that the competition includes Carlton (ex-GWS/SOS) and Port (Has been recruits/last piece of the puzzle/Hinkley) and I'm ok again.

 

[CrowBloke]

... and Port (Has been recruits/last piece of the puzzle/Hinkley) and I'm ok again.

I was thinking along similar lines.
I was going to say --- "Didn't PA extend Hinkley's contract? Now, that is dumb".
Damn your speedy fingers.

Okay, so we've gone all out...

...and named a debutant

...on the interchange bench

Yeah, that's a #fail.

He should have been named on the field.

And there should have been two.

 

[Cap]

Yep, we haven't learnt a thing.

Dumb dumb dumb

 

[Drummond]

Apparently Murphy out and HH emergency. This club LOL.

Idiots.

 

[Scorpus]

The Crows take the saying "one week at a time" way too literally and have very little forward thinking in these situations

Your sister is a medical condition?

Sister's. But yeah, actually she kind of is a medical condition, poor love.

"If there's guys that are out of contract, it does give you a good opportunity the last couple of weeks." Not at the crows it doesn't!

At least we didn't rush Talia back

 

[skam85]

In the future, we will look back knowing there is absolutely no benefit to win this week and try out some kids. Apart from the obvious low of losing (something we’ve become accustomed to quite commonly this year without even trying), there is no down side.

We can lock away our draft position and potential trade currency. Tick

We can help push another team, one whom we own their first pick out of the finals and lower on the ladder. Tick

We can play a role in pushing our cross town rivals out of the finals. Tick

Nah. Let’s bring back three injury prone guys to show that we’re full strength and jump to the lofty heights of 11th.
