Changes for next Week

[thebirdman 24]

I don't agree with the dropping of Stevens. Hes just come back from getting face pummelled by a knee, i think if he shows nothing again this week then consider it, but some posters don't realise how important he can be with his versatility.

For mine
In- Knights definitely
Out - Cook (just not up to it yet, really concerned about his future at AFL level with his kicking skills, hes hard at it though)

Don't think Maric will come in this week against the Doggies. Although our team structure i think we are 1 KP short so maybe next week in Maric, Tippett to FF (thought we established hes not a CHF?) and a small out.

Griffin is out with tonsillitis this week according to radio news.

 

[WALL-e]

Tonsillitis would be the works out ever.

Next to poor Rama and OUT: Ramanouskis (Cancer)

 

[cmndstab]

Tonsilitis? Are you serious? What the hell Crows? Why do we have the dumbest "injuries" ever?


Also Riggy, I'm assuming your post was a joke but on the off chance it's not, account sharing is frowned upon and you probably shouldn't do it again.

Moran trained with the main group today in place of Griffin.

 

[WALL-e]

I see the Crows bringing in Moran before Maric to replace Griffin. Their being big on form before rep these days which is good.

But I have let her on my account as a test. She posted posts under my account for a few hours a few weeks ago, and people didnt look down on her when they thought she was me

..............

lol


anyway squad of 25 announced soon, sounds like Griff is out

For mine, final team should be:

Out: Griff, Cook, Stevens (clearly not right)
In: Maric, Moran, Knights

I very much doubt we go in with 3 ruckman against the Dogs. Moran to come in for Griffin and Knights for possibly Cook.

1 ruckman (Maric) and 2 half ruckmen, so 2 ruckmen.

Moran to play a combo Stevens/Tippet(ruck) role whilst Tippet plays in attack. Just how i'd do it. We should be worrying about our own structures and not their wacky gameplan.

 

[-CG-]

Oh bummer

Surely Griffin will be alright for the following week in Brisbane...

Not going to happen. We are too tall with all 3 in the side, especially against Doggies.

 

[Symesy15]

Craigy doesn't sound too concerned about Griffo.

“He [Griffin] is sick. There has been a respiratory illness going around. Simon Goodwin has had it for the last couple of weeks and now Jon has it.

“Hopefully, he’ll be okay. We’ll know more tomorrow on that one. Typically, for the guys that have had it in the past, it’s been a 24-hour situation.”

 

[magtrev]

I humbly disagree sir, but fair enough.

 

[NTRabbit]

So, changes.

Griffin being ill throws something of a spanner into it, as does the 50/50 likelihood of Bock. Have to wait for the final team sheets this afternoon, but I'm fairly certain that Moran and Knights are already in.

Welcome back Robert Shirley

Take this as you will, because I don't really post a whole lot but I do read this forum intently basically every day. Obviously I read the Adelaide subsection the most, but as an avid fan of AFL I at least skim every teams boards throughout the week.

I don't have a whole lot to say on the slinging match that has gone on on this thread recently. I really think its pointless and does nothing but dilute the quality of this section of BigFooty. I think you will find, and this has been mentioned by other teams supporters, that this board pumps out some of the highest quality information regarding our team due to the dedication of some of the posters on this board.

Like any board, there are going to be people that don't have the insight into the game and players that some do, and will post their opinion, which they have every right to do. It is more than fair enough to disagree, and if you want to dispute the point with some actual factual information then I am sure discussion is not only warranted but invited. Slinging matches are rubbish though. Personally from reading this board for a few years, I've found the posters who I believe are able to put some good information and I just generally ignore the people that I believe have no idea.

As for the Crows frowning on our training reports.. as far as I know the club at least has some presence on this board, and perhaps if they did have an issue with it they could make that known to our moderators who could then ensure our training reports go to a different subsection on our boards that restricts access - similar to what happens on the Hawthorn board - to ensure Crows supporters are really the only people who get the information.

Will Petrenko keep his spot?

great post

but this part interested me, I didn't realise this occured

Yep!

If that can occur I'm all for it.

Otherwise you get all that Bay13 stuff which showed Stiffy's picture. Not to mention it being used on RealFooty as well!

Yeah, we have a restricted forum. Strict entry policy.
Our mod along with 4-5 other members attend our training sessions and get updates from the coaching staff. Clarkson is happy to have the training reports (other than the offsite ones) and injured player updates posted on our board as long as we don't reveal more than we should, otherwise the relationship will be broken.

It's great being able to read these updates as it keeps us in the loop with what's happening behind the scenes. We generally know the extent of our injuries and have a rough idea as to how long they're out for
Our club reveals squat to the media so alot of our members who don't have access to this forum tend to get frustrated.

It's worth setting up

Good post mate If you don't like, rate or agree with what a poster writes, just ignore it, there's even an ignore function I believe on this site, not hard.

And agree totally with the last part as well, if the Crows weren't happy with our training reports they have ample means of expressing this disapproval, hell CG is writing a blog for their website for one.

Very well said brent-83.

I'd prefer not to have an invite-only forum though, it just seems kind of exclusive. I wouldn't like to think that I would have to "prove myself" to get access to that sort of information. I like that all footy fans are able to read anything I post on here and hopefully alot of them find it useful or at least entertaining. I know I appreciate reading other team forums and getting insight I wouldn't otherwise have.

Having that, with full on Crows information instead of dulled down training reports is better though.

Those reports are gold for us interstaters.

Agreed, if it were the choice between not getting to write them and writing them but having to put them on a restricted forum, I'd go the latter every time.
