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

[1990crow]

No, it's really not.

Playing DMac, Douglas, Jacobs, Thompson, VB, Betts etc we'll past their due by date ahead of more talented and younger players at the expense of the future led to a massive drop off in overall list experience.
Please, do go and argue otherwise.

 

[1970crow]

Anybody remember the dimwits last year that believed Hamill would have played ahead of Dmac if he was right to go? Even though he was playing the SANFL scratch matches. Like Hamill would win a selection showdown against Mackay. Hilarious stuff, people are so funny.

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

That would be wrong, but please argue otherwise.

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

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

 

[Mutineer]

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

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

Had they dropped Mackay and not Ronin this week's selection are pretty good.


Although I guess the debate would be Murray v McAsey v Worrell.

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

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

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

Mackay 3 games before Sholl gets a debut last year. That's current player Lachlan Sholl.

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

I think we need Kelly this week. Stick to Fritsch.

We brought in Jones, we now have one too many running defenders, why they thought Mackay was the one to keep in blows my mind.

I remember all of these unfortunately. Shows you why we suck. Terrible decision making club.

How's Thilthorpe going ?? Speaking of talent

 

[1990crow]

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

Except the player not picked is actually a better player than the "experienced" player so doesn't actually add any value to the side.

 

[1970crow]

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

rebuilt.

...and Ricciuto for his swansong final.

O'Connor's debut game away against West Coast was sub-par was it? What were they expecting, 30 possessions. This club is a ****ing disaster.

he's always been a selection apologist.

I never said thilthorpe didnt have talent. I just wanted hollands or mcdonald in the draft. so far it doesnt look like we made a mistake picking him.

Did they say that?

 

[loplop]

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

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

 

[Geoffa32]

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

AFC and DMack.....

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

Off you go Mick

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

 

[Torpedro]

lol

The change was pretty simple, leave O'connor in and drop ******* Mackay.

A big part of their gameplan/structure this year is Clearly to have a number of smaller attacking defenders/outside mids. They were never going to drop both Mackay and Hamill. So why even bother suggesting it? Ronin’s exclusion has nothing to do with Mackay. Bang on about Mackay all you want. I’m pissed about it too. But don’t have a go at me for trying to have discussion about something unrelated

 

[Murray2503]

They dropped him after 1 match. What other conclusion can you make?

Where did I say I wanted Hammil dropped?
