Preview Changes: R10 vs Melbourne - Crows drop Hamill but keep Mackay

[MrBarry]

It's certainly right up there with:

- Bringing Scott Thompson in for 1 game in 2017 when he was totally cooked, replacing Hugh Greenwood

- Bringing in Van Berlo against North Melbourne instead of Hartigan, a game we proceeded to lose by 10 points with North's 3 talls dominating

- Bringing in Gallucci to Brisbane for one week who we then drop for an omitted Mackay who didn't play any SANFL

- Bringing in Brad Crouch for the first time to play alongside his brother Matt but then demoting Matt to the sub

- Bringing in Sam Jacobs and Richard Douglas to play a final dead rubber game against Western Bulldogs away before delisting them both immediately after

Plus many more I'm sure I'll think of soon

**** me there is some good uns there, but the whole giving Sam Jacobs games at the end of 2019 is definetly up there.

They are all terrible but that Galluci one annoys me. Mackay dropped, everyone rejoices, he doesn't even play SANFL only to get picked the next week for the guy that replaced him.

Maybe we are tanking for Horne

I am convinced we positioned ourselves to get Tilthy last year.

Horne this year?

I think it's getting too obvious now. Maybe tanking for picks 1 and 2 (priority pick)

 

[hey shorty]

He's not wrong though. Nicks is not picking the correct side for the next run at the premiership.

Wasting games on c grade young players and giving older guys more and more games, isn't going to get us anywhere.

Mackay is the poor selection, Murray has played 4 games.... Way too early to judge

 

[Sleight of Hand]

There is absolutely no justification in keeping McKay in the side ahead of Hamill....none.... if this is a rebuild show us the future of the club and stop wasting our time with crap selection decisions like this.

It's what led us to the disaster we currently are witnessing.

oh my, and this means what to the Hamill v Mackay decision made by the coaches? How much better a side do you reckon we are with with Mackay over Hamill?

- Dropping Matt Crouch after he had 25 disposals as a young kid

Plus many more I'm sure I'll think of soon

Dropping Davis after receiving a rising star nom for Bock who was Suns-bound is up there. He cost us 3 goals in a 3 goal Showdown loss too.

 

[hey shorty]

You're the worst football judge on this board, if you think he's garbage then that validates my opinion

 

[MRB37]

Back to the good 'ol one step forwards, two steps back method I see.

 

[Scorpus]

Oh how I've missed Thursday night selection

 

[slice]

****ing outrageous but not enough melts for dropping a debutant after having the most tackles on the ground with only 57% game time.

 

[hey shorty]

It's what led us to the disaster we currently are witnessing.

No, it's really not.

 

[loplop]

What does dropping Hamill and or O’Connor achieve in a rebuilding team??

 

[MrBarry]

Mackay is the poor selection, Murray has played 4 games.... Way too early to judge

He will not make it to 50 games as a player. I guarentee it.

It's not too early to judge. Mcasey and or Worrel should be ahead of him, he's literally cover for injuries.

Very typical of the Crows though, reward a player for hard training work.

I think fog has talent. himmelberg and frampton are shit. keays will get replaced when we get elite mids in the next two drafts. common sense mate.

Genius troll from the club.

Claim to be rebuilding.
Pick an extra tall defender (5 weeks too late).
Need to drop a defender.
Do we drop Jake Kelly, a 26 year old player who is at best a B-? Nah.
Do we drop David Mackay, a 32 year old who peaked as a B grade player many years ago?

No.

Let's drop Will Hamill. A guy who is 20 years old, has played well this year and is absolutely part of the future.

Genius.

Hope you are not suggesting we need DMack's experience?

great performance again from our selection committee (assuming we are tanking).

In all seriousness i firmly believe the modern coach is just a media puppet and that team selection strings are pulled from upstairs, at least in this club anyway...

FMD. Hope we get smashed.

 

[Brett Cummings]

hahaha mutineer wheres your buddy poholke? he's a good player remember? delisted into the trash can.

 

[RoweyThePainter]

Fairly happy with McPherson out for Murray.

Stunned Hamill dropped.

Let's be honest Mackay was never being dropped. Could he yet be sub???

Glad Fog not dropped. Gee whiz. Love Thursday teams.

Where is Fog in this discussion..... You need help
