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

[1990crow]

And you believe we are doing the same now do you ?? That's what you inferred

That would be wrong, but please argue otherwise.

Well when we are contending for a flag (if we get a decent coach I suppose) Will Hamill will now have one less game experience than he could have.
Maybe he learns how to keep Pickett quiet for a quarter and that translates to a good game In a grand final against Melbourne in 2025.
Unless we just don't rate Hamill enough to be in that side. Which is essentially what this selection says.

You also said you'd support someone else if we picked him.

Off you go Mick

umm, no I didnt. if you can quote me saying that go for it.

 

[ftmch]

Sorry, but I had to bump my own post. Never change AFC.

Well played. You are the all seeing oracle!

 

[GROTTO]

I forgot this is where everyone is hanging out tonight.

 

[Geoffa32]

Of course not but 13 players with less than 50 AFL games experience is roughly 60% of the selected 22.

I see your point.

Still a very inexperienced side and we are playing youth.

Despite the DMack v Hamill howler....

so? That's irrelevant to the call to choose Mackay over Hamill.

504 needs a Thurs night teams show back when no footy on. And I dont count VFL.

Im just telling you how it is. you cant tell who has talent and who doesnt.

I’m beginning to think you are a Puffer troll.

im a troll because I can tell who has talent?

 

[GROTTO]

Boak said a few weeks ago he could play till he is 40, and was compared to Tom Brady

AFC and DMack.....

Ive reported your post for trolling every AFC supporter lol.

 

[thebirdman 24]

Yep this.

bit hard to get to fifty games if you keep dropping them

I would have kept O'Connor and left Ned out for 1 more week

Does 2 things - gives RoC another game to show his wares and gives Ned 1 more game to get over any concerns - it was a terrible concussion

 

[1970crow]

Same people are telling us to calm down it's not something to be concerned with.

all these idiotic decisions by the club on and off field have all been totally isolated from each other and never point to an ingrained cultural or philosophical weakness. Just isolated error after isolated error after isolated error. It's hilarious.

That's an extremely long bow to draw.

Sycophants on here aren't even calling them errors. Rose coloured glasses on here Rozee as ever.

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.

This was all foreshadowed by the absolute f**kwit way Nicks responded to Lynch as the medical sub.

 

[ftmch]

Oh how I've missed Thursday night selection

It's like the selectors are trying to commemorate the occassion

 

[RoweyThePainter]

I can understand dropping Ronin. One in, get a taste, Ned is back.

I would really like to know the rationale behind dropping Hamill. Thought last week was his best game for 3 or 4 weeks. Other changes I can understand.

 

[1990crow]

That's an extremely long bow to draw.

Or he requests a trade. Possible? Weve dropped talented youngsters before and they've walked.

 

[DJ75]

Of course not but 13 players with less than 50 AFL games experience is roughly 60% of the selected 22.

Experience is definitely helpful in a rebuild. IF it's not just for experience sake.

To pick the experienced player there should be two rules.
1. Are they still clearly better than the younger player?
2. Are they impacting on the games?

I can't see how Mackay over Hamill fits either of those.

Burns is either secretly laughing behind the scenes with an eye on the top job..

Or

He is a total pussy.

Who isn't calling the selection of DMac an error ??

 

[Murray2503]

I just wonder what the objective is this year? If it's winning games we are going about it in the wrong manner. If it's to lose games we are going about it in the wrong manner. If it's to piss off young players so they leave we are succeeding. We can't even rebuild right.

 

[RoweyThePainter]

What do u mean? That went exactly as planned.

Bringing on a cripple to ensure we lost.

It will happen this decision by the AFL will lead to a show on Foxtel, give them a few weeks to get it in place.
