Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion vs. WCE (R17, Fri 12/07 8:10pm OS)

Wonder if all these people taking potshots at Crocker before he’s even had an opportunity to prove himself this year feel big?

I don't feel big, I'm just going by his previous attempts at being an AFL player and the fact that he is not exactly tearing it up in the VFL.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Crocker deserves his 24th chance.. gl son

 

[atomiser]

Anyone know the reason for Scharenberg missing?

Left training early today

 

[Corby_4]

Thank fk Thomas is out the campaigner.

 

[Nuwanda]

He couldn’t be any worse than Thomas.

I have watched him at a few VFL games......he has been gifted his call up.

Good luck Crocker do the jumper proud.

While I’m not a fan of Crocker, I will say you can rely on him giving you 110%.

I do think Cox needs quick blokes who can crumb around him. Crocker isn’t the man.

He’ll probably kick 4 goals and be our most damaging forward this week.

Maybe a combination of travel/hard deck and load management.

2 debutants in two weeks. We’ve raised the white flag.

Attaboy Adz, stick phat with the team as usual.

 

[Capital Magpie]

Crocker in Shazz out Kennedy in ( 3rd time in 4 games this has happen against us) Petruccelle in, this smells of a really predictable outcome
Pettrucelli isn't an in for them

There is a lot of concerns from WCE & Freo over the surface at Optus, lot of leg injuries.
My guess is don’t risk Shazz this early in his comeback?

 

[Black_White]

Crocker must playing the David rhys Jones role tomorrow.

So going to get his teeth knocked out?

 

[Visions]

Finally Thomas has been dropped. Unfortunately Crocker is in.

Not that it matters, always going to be a big victory to the Eagles.

 

[DerekZoolander]

Yep,

Attaboy Adz, stick phat with the team as usual.

Yep, tigers put up the white flag by playing Stack Cats put up the white flag playing Meirs and Clarke

Yep, long plane flight then the skatey Optus surface, they didn't want to tempt fate with Shazz.

 

[LukeH10]

Crocker & Cox to combine for 10 & lead the Pies to victory

 

[DIDAIC0S]

Agree. Crocker could do not less then JT been doing

Crocker is a reserves player. He’ll most likely have scoring opportunities this week, and unless they are late consolation goals wth no pressure etc, he’ll miss them all.

I know I will get shot down Robroy22 but couldn’t our Club convey that message?

So he plays at Victoria Park Saturday?

 

[esc0bar]

eeek with that line up I think this might be the first game I haven't watch since 2009... ahhh fu#k who am I kidding I've missed weddings to watch the boys. GO PIES.

 

[Black_White]

Everyone has been screaming to drop JT, this is what it looks like

So...... Thomas has given us nothing for a half season.
Now we are at the lowest point, facing the Premiers on their home deck with the return of arguably a top 5 in the league player, and we decide to drop him.
It’s going to be easy for Bux to return Thomas next week after we look slow.
This isn’t a dropping on form, it’s a plan to keep the status quo.

 

[esc0bar]

I refuse to support pies this weekend with Crocker in

Fair go mate. He puts the jumper on and despite not being best 22 he is still contributing when most of our players are struggling with form and injury. It's hardly his fault. Just take the expectation off him and look for all the good things he does on the field, albeit not that many.

 

[ksardog]

Would look to play WHE out of the goal square for much of the night, play the Stephenson. As much as he stuffed up a few chances in the last qtr last week, he was getting into positions to create shots on goal. Something we have been sadly lacking.
We need DeGoey to play up forward because he can make things happen, but I wouldn’t mind a few minutes a qtr in the middle, just to free him up.

Let’s be honest, we are up against it tomorrow night. Just want us to play some free flowing football and get our confidence back.
Mantra should be, run run run.

Are you suggesting this is a conspiracy?

Good news - JT is finally an out
Bad news - I didn't think Daicos was that bad last week
s**t news - WTF Bucks, Shaz was pretty good last week.

 

[peter9789]

I’m ok with the changes - Daicos and JT were obvious; Scharenberg less so but given his lengthy time out of the game it’s going to take a while to get back to quality football.

Cox gets a reprieve - maybe no one else to step up

Happy to see Greenwood in - we definitely need a few more hard heads in the team. Crocker I’m rather meh about - not seen anything that gets me excited, but VFL form is solid and good to see him being rewarded.

Noble .... just run and run son.
