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

[Drummond]

Who do you suggest dropping instead, given that McHenry is coming back in (having passed the concussion protocols)?

Ummm Mackay maybe? Don’t care if they aren’t the same positions, you drop spuds, and play youth, it really is THAT simple.

 

[1970crow]

And that's me done for this year, this club refuses to rebuild and is going nowhere. Hope the Dees do us in by 20 goals.

we've built, we're done. Add a top draft pick this year and a couple of seasoned bodies and we'll be contending for the 8 again. AFC version of a rebuild is totally done, it's all continuity and maximising average games played from here.

 

[BACCS]

Wowsers, I really enjoyed Hamill’s game last week too and thought his season was building nicely. Would hope there is damn good justification for him going out over Mackay in a rebuild, but I can’t think of any.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Refuses to rebuild ?? We brought 2 players with less than 20 games experience between them ??

We dropped Hamill and kept Mackay in the team. If we're properly rebuilding, we'd do the opposite instead of gifting games to a 33 year old who has carved a near 250 game career based on a final 12 years ago.

 

[hey shorty]

We dropped Hamill and kept Mackay in the team, mate. That's just pure bullshit anti-rebuild ******* rubbish.

I'm certainly not advocating his selection at all, there is no reason for him playing.

None.

They've brought in 2 very inexperienced players though, that isn't anti rebuild

 

[MrBarry]

I just don't get the ****ing insanity of this club at times...... Why in the **** is Mackay even on the list let alone the ****ing team still in 2021.

And better yet, we are dropping young players for him...

I'm not arguing that bit

 

[Drummond]

In: McHenry, Murray, Walker
Out: Frampton, O'Connor, Hamill

And I’m out again.

Cya later. No longer interested.

Yes, we brought in two inexperienced players straight after we dropped two inexperienced players, when there was an obvious player we could have dropped to avoid this situation entirely

 

[pjcrows]

Hamill omitted with Mackay in is a putrid decision, particularly with an older player in Tex coming back too. The worst selection decision in years. Legitimately.

 

[1970crow]

Nah we have done much worse. Remember last year us bringing in Atkins Knight and Gibbs for 3 youngsters?

not only did Sholl have to wait for that debacle before debuting but Mackay had already returned 3 weeks prior. Anybody that sees a change in selection philosophy hasn't got the faintest clue.

 

[hey shorty]

Do you still think Dmac is a backup player?

I do think it.

Clear the coaches have changed their minds.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

A very AFC thing to do would be to retain Mackay and drop Hamill.

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

 

[Dudersaurus]

Disappointing melts so far.

Hoping for better efforts over the next 24 hrs

I can't melt any further. Effing whatever.
ROC may as well have stayed in Perth.

 

[Golumless]

I do think it.

Clear the coaches have changed their minds.

I reckon Nicks and co. lied to Reid when they said, "nah, Mackay will be used as a backup" at the end of last season to save him from being axed.

 

[1990crow]

I hope we get flogged. I'm flying over and I legit hope we get thumped. Nicks deserves it for shit like this.

I think we need to discuss whether he needs to go.

 

[Firewalker]

Usually would post Thursday night selection troll Mackay picture but like seriously it’s not even remotely funny now it’s seriously damaging the club

 

[hey shorty]

I hope we get flogged. I'm flying over and I legit hope we get thumped. Nicks deserves it for sh*t like this.

I think we need to discuss whether he needs to go.

There's a nice rant.

 

[jackster83]

This club is ****ed.

 

[Drummond]

And that's me done for this year, this club refuses to rebuild and is going nowhere. Hope the Dees do us in by 20 goals.

Hoping for the same. Disgusting.

 

[thebirdman 24]

Frampton for Walker I can get around. Frampton is a deadset spud.

Mchenry is by far not an automatic inclusion. ROC offers just as much if not more based on one game. Dissapointed he didn't get a few more games.

Hamill out for Murray fixes the structure but you have David bloody Mackay being terrible every week offering zilch at the age of 33 and you drop the promising youngster instead. Disgusting.

Don't you just love the one-and-done road trip to Perth for O'Connor?

There ya go mate, debut against a team we rarely beat away and then fu** right off back to the SANFL

It was always going to be an undeserving young guy coming out with Ned back in.

Would have dropped Berry personally. Nothing against him, but he’s played all season. Ronin deserves his shot

 

[Brett Cummings]

oh well at least himmelberg and frampton arent playing.

 

[MrBarry]

Is the club sort of doiong it to stick it to the more vocal of the supporters?

That's literally the only reason I can think he's still in the team. 'You can't bloody tell us what to do!' attitude?

 

[1970crow]

I'm certainly not advocating his selection at all, there is no reason for him playing.

None.

playing Dmac ahead of Hamill is the definition of anti-rebuild.
