This week is the perfect opportunity to make MACKAY the sub or put him back in the magoos. With Ned coming back and Chayse finding form at half back Mackay is no longer needed. Given our ressies are playing just before our seniors McPherson must play in the seconds. Mackay could play as a the sub so everyine else available can play a game. Terrible programming by the SANFL by the way. There is not a position for David this week. If we are trying to get better every week he is expendable. His form yesterday was only fair compared with other contenders.

I'm no mackay fan but he is the perfect sub. Can play in multiple positions and doesn't mean a young player misses a game.
 
I don’t give a rats arse about draft picks this week. Dees are due for a loss and I want the Crows to provide that. Pick the best 22 and go out to genuinely win this one. Great confidence builder and essential for the rebuild process. We can do it. (We are actually a decent team give the young calves out there)

we select to win the game every single week, not sure what point you're trying to make with that post.

MaCasey would have been ragdolled by Darling. We needed a Hartigan to run into him blindly. How far away is Talia?
Depends if their 4-5 is reliable or not. If it is maybe 5 to 6 weeks with a game in the sanfl first up.
 
When you have Hamill, Jones, Brown and Smith down back why is there a need for Mackay? Surely we have enough run and carry in the team. 11 kicks and 3 handballs 2 tackles. Makes no sense unless they are trying to make the team weaker on purpose which would be disappointing if that's the case.

220/22 = 10 games experience per player. You know it makes sense.
 
Anyone think we are a sneaky chance this weekend? I know the dees have handed us some smashing's in previous years but undefeated teams always seem to fall to unlikely opponents. We were very good in patches against the eagles. Plus we usually play the dees in NT

You’ve been looking at those $5.50 odds haven’t you...

2015 is the only time we've beaten them at AO IIRC.

Even spuds like Neal-Bullen usually light it up against us.

Out: Frampton
In: Himmelberg

This time it will be the difference.

It's a pretty difficult week to predict what they will do. Tex in is the only certainty. Until they're happy risking Thilthorpe rucking a whole game, I don't think Frampton is the guy that makes way. Or even if he's out, then Berg returns. So we still need another player to drop for Tex. in terms of forwards, really only Fog (omit) and Thilthorpe (managed) would be likely, but surely neither in doubt. So where to next? Drop a young mid (Berry/ROC) and reduce running and contest power or look at dropping Dmac. The former very unpalatable in a genuine rebuild, the latter obvious and welcome but highly unlikely. Then we've got McHenry returning from injury as well.

If I didn't know better, I'd say Dmac cannot possibly survive the return of Tex and McHenry, but we always find a way.
 
The make eagles looks small. 195cm x 2 and 200cm. Wikes!
We are looking to rest Butts & go for an all medium-small sized defence this week...
 
Yes, 3 headed monsters everywhere.

McAsey in for me. McPherson out. We know who can wear the sub vest.

Tex should have another week off. Prime him for Richmond at the G.
McPherson didn't play against West Coast.
