Changes for Richmond

[Stiffy_18]

How do you know what attitude we took into that game?

They got in front early, and kept their lead by chipping it around. It's that simple.

Yeah and we decided to wake up with 10 minutes to go in the game when the horse had already bolted.

We came into the game over confident and we lairised way too much on the day only to realise that they might well beat us.

We we not switched on and for anyone to claim otherwise it just being stupid.

No you are wrong. He was serviceable. Set up a goal, layed some good tackles and pinpointed a few passes. Shocking call.

You obviously love Douglas with a username like that, but get a clue, he was extremely mediocre. Stop being so one-eyed.

 

[CrowMagnum]

Vince had 10 disposals and 7 clangers. Seems to panic with the extra pace of AFL and needs to go back to regain his composure, but he'll be back.

I reckon this will be the only change - Vince for Reilly or Roo.

5 of those clangers were frees against, a couple of which were a little unlucky. But yes, I agree with your point that he's got a long way to go yet.

Douglas will be a long-term player & should only be dropped if he has struggled for a few weeks. I wouldn't say he had a shocker - did some good things amongst some poor decision making.

IMO, Vince was struggling more than Douglas.

Burton looked like he is nowhere near fit & I would prefer to rest him as it is in our long-term interests to have him at his matchwinning best.

IMO we do need another tall & Kenny would seem te logical choice. This would give us more KPP flexibility with Bock, Stevens & Kenny all capable of playing at either end.

Rest Burton for the Richmond romp.

Rest the Birdman and bring in the Mcdeal.

Roo in for Bernie.


Would leave Dougie in for another week, cause now he is playing up forward, it's more important to give him more game time up there to get the feel of the game.

Didn't see the game but going on the radio reports Dougie's leg speed is the key if we bring back Roo and the Kmac.

 

[AndrewJo]

You're kidding, right?

If you think this week is a danger game, then every single game of the season is.

Richmond travel back here for the second week. This has to be a percentage booster for the Crows. If they can't beat Richmond by more than double what the Power did I will be very disappointed.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Douglas has to stay in. I didint think he was too bad but I'll take more notice when I watch the replay.

Vince has to go and so does Burton.

Roo and McGregor in for 'em both.

 

[Gets!]

Dougie was fine...why would Burton come out though?

Because we ''think'' we should beat Richmond with our B squad and he definitely needs a rest

I agree he needs a rest, not sure if we should be thinking that Richmond are easy beats...Fitzroy a la Jameson goal game

 

[relapse]

Was it just me or were there at least two occasions where we turned over ball because Douglas didnt attack the contest hard enough. He is still only young and will hopefully learn from that, but it might have appeared worse on the television because on tv both times there was a hard ball there to be won and Douglas lost it because he opponent went in harder for the ball.

This would be the last thing you would question about Douglas. Throws his body in there every week.

More than likely, he went in and got completely bumped off the footy because he's a midget.

he didnt shirk the contest or anything it was more than likely as you said that it had more to do with his lack of size going against a bigger bodied guy. It is just hard to ascertain that kinda stuff on tv because your viewing is restricted to a few metres around the ball.

 

[Dandy_GO]

On occasion he goes in with his hands for the quick takeaway rather than with the whole body. It was particularly evident against Merrett.
More poor judgement than anything, as we know he does go in hard when he needs to.

 

[PHX]

Wouldnt worry about leaving Burton out, we'll be pretty spent as well. 6 days break between a 157 loss to Football park and now another 6 day break to come back to Football park again. We're going to be pretty tired by the end I reckon.

Although are you coming on two six day breaks as well?

 

[maximus]

Vince out for Reilly.
Roo to play for the Bloods.

 

[- PC -]

Roo to play for the Bloods.

No, our Captain doesnt play SANFL. If he is ok to play for Westies he is ok to play for the AFC

 

[emperor]

Fellas....if you want to get some of your youngsters into a bit of form (read: easy, confidence boosting possessions), this is your week to do it

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

What chance does Pfeiffer have of making his debut soon? I'm very keen to see how he goes compared to Shannon Hurn.

 

[RoosterLad]

I doubt he will play this week and when we start getting players back that will push him further back unless he absolutely burns in the SANFL.

I would have thought he'd have made it already but he hasnt so I would say hes a fair way away yet. That being said, we picked Jericho out of nowhere last week s it could happen.

 

[ams4crows]

I think we will go in unchanged for the Richmond match.

 

[Stiffy_18]

I think we will go in unchanged for the Richmond match.

After hearing the news on Roo, Reilly and Porplyzia, I tend to agree!

 

[flackjack]

I would like to see Pfeiffer come in for Burton for a week or two to give Burton some time to get fit again, and it would be great to see how Pfeiffer goes.
