Green

Neitz
Whelan

Bate is listed as emergency - god i hope one of the hack-oldies gets an injury so we can finally introduce a draft pick...

With midfielders Bruce, Green, McDonald and Johnstone all out, you would think the best midfielder may take one of their places. However, Yze is still in the forward pocket. Oh well, a big % booster for the Crows on Saturday!

Like Slander said, surely someone from upstairs is taking the ******** out of us with the Johnstone omission!
They've had weeks to drop him, whilst the other midfielders have been in, but when Bruce, green, mcdonald, sylvia are all out, thats when they decide to drop him. That's really confusing. (PS Im just assuming they've dropped him - I really doubt he has the "flu". Maybe he's just "sick" of Daniher's BS)

Final proof that god does not exist. Athiests win!

I just banged my head repeatedly on a work keyboard when I read the changes. I even copped "it's only a game" when I explained why. I now have a headache which I hope will kill me before 2pm Saturday.

i have a feeling that half of our INs are on there last chance. unfortuantly for them we are playing interstate against a full strength 2nd placed side with a near VFL side

TJ has the flu. It's a forced changed, he wasn't dropped.

And what other changes could we have made? ND didn't pick Heffernan or Williams in the side, so I'm happy. Godders will at least have a crack, Motlop to provide a little bit of spark with Davey across half forward, Nicho to fill a gap, Armstrong can find the footy, Belly has potential, Riggers... well it's Riggers and we know Dogga can play.

Like I said, no Williams and Heffernan means ND has lost patience with them. There was no-one else he could play anyway, besides Bate who isn't really ready.

Just remember the Eagles game in 98 when we won with half a side! I'm not saying we will win, just don't count the chickens... yet. Wait for 10 minutes into the 1st before doing that! ;)

Losing by 100 or less could probably be considered a win with that side.

However, it will be good watching a team with a few guys in it who are playing for their careers(riggers, motlop e.g). Possibly some effort from the guys this week?(Maybe I'm expecting too much)
