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

[Brett Cummings]

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

remember when nicks said lynch wsnt injured but required injections to play lol.

 

[1970crow]

That's on the club for continuing to waste games on older players.

to be fair to Bicks, he did always say that if Lyons was good enough he'd have been getting selected more. Cannot argue with that logic.

 

[hey shorty]

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

I'd be surprised.

 

[MRB37]

Mackay is the very embodiment of an issue with modern coaches who put process over performance. He knows what to do, runs the lines great, can play multiple positions, does it all flawlessly in training, so he gets in even though his impacted is limited on game day.

 

[GROTTO]

What do u mean? That went exactly as planned.

Bringing on a cripple to ensure we lost.

No.

The way Nicks justified his decision at the presser post match.

 

[Penske Material]

Disappointing melts so far.

Hoping for better efforts over the next 24 hrs

2 mins on high should do it!

 

[Damp Squarie]

im a troll because I can tell who has talent?

I don’t think you can.

 

[RoweyThePainter]

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

You are all being harsh on the bloke.

A guy who must have incriminating photos of 5 different coaches deserves to play.

 

[Dudersaurus]

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.

Ahh, you seem to be assuming that Murray will play defence. Only need one KPD; he'll play forward.

 

[GROTTO]

remember when nicks said lynch wsnt injured but required injections to play lol.

Look at how many games Lynch has missed AND he barely rolled onto the ground in the 4th quarter as Medical sub.

I would burn my scarf but I threw it away im disgust when we lost a home final some years ago.

Who is gonna be sub??

 

[WeeBlake]

It’s extremely stupid, but the best explanation I have seen is they have some kind of arbitrary games played threshold and they are not willing to go below it.

 

[Brett Cummings]

I don’t think you can.

fogarty, thithorpe, sholl, schoenberg, mchenry, jones etc all have talent.

[Golumless]

Oh one name stands out and it really twists the knife with how dogshit the Mackay selection is.

 

[hey shorty]

Hamill has not been in good form. He's had good patches but he's had some woeful moments too, much like Moose.

Wouldn't have dropped him instead of DMac mind you.

 

[Murray2503]

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.

Thursday night footy will be on every week next year. AFL majorly stuffed up cutting it back. Fox is missing an opportunity not having a decent footy show either Wednesday or Thursday nights.

 

[hey shorty]

fogarty, thithorpe, sholl, schoenberg, mchenry, jones etc all have talent.

Almost none of which you picked until after the fact.

 

[huludicidal]

I would really like to know the rationale behind dropping Hamill.

Because we needed to drop a small defender to fit the taller defender (Murray) in to the side, to address the glaring need for another KPD.

And it had to be Hamill to make way rather than Mackay, cos D-Mac ensures that he obtains compromising photos of every coach so he can plod his way to 250 games.

 

[Kezza86]

There is no mention anywhere of an injury to Hamill

He has been dropped

He has been carrying an ankle. Hasn’t been the same since do that ankle.

 

[1970crow]

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

haven't heard you say that and Bicks fully supports it. Reckons he's vital for experience.

Happy to have a hour teams show leading into Thurs night footy other than 90mins of Fox ex players telling us how tonight will be won in the midfield

Mines at the dump after 2017.

The rationale is fine, we ALL agree with it.
