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

[hey shorty]

Did anyone except you think his form was bad?

Probably not, people here give kids gold passes.

 

[SugarShane]

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

Must be why we keep playing Mackay. Scared if we drop him he'll walk and become a superstar somewhere else when he matures.

 

[hey shorty]

Hamill hasn't been great. Still would've dropped Mackay.

Precisely

 

[Scorpus]

Probably not, people here give kids gold passes.

Because it's a rebuild?

Outstanding

 

[Danger in Texas]

Good: McHenry back in, Frampton out (with a Fog/Walker/Thilthorpe forward line going forward), finally get another KPD back in the side

Bad: ROC out, Hamill out (what?), Mackay still in

It feels like we have to sacrifice something to get something every week at the selection table

Mines at the dump after 2017.

Probably saddling up with some of Lever’s paraphernalia

I think =/= I will.

it even explains that in the quote you posted. "im sorry, does think mean will"

funny how you only highlighted what you wanted to highlight. keep up mate.

We must get games into Mackay. As soon as he gets to 250 it will be all gravy. You wait and see. Dmac will prove you wrong.

 

[dplggr47]

Both Mackay and Hamill have been below average the last two weeks, but Hamill is our future and Mackay is supposed to be back up only.

I have this fear .... but about Fogarty. That he goes to another team and absolutely tears it up.

 

[Geoffa32]

in defence, David offers great leadership and experience down back...

And his personal hygiene is beyond reproach....

Absolutely. By then he may be able to actually grow facial hair too.

 

[Kezza86]

Yep we rushed him back after missing just one game.

He is a flighty player; has Bambi vibes about the way he approaches the contest. Doesn’t shirk it, just has a such a raw style.

I wouldn’t be surprised he’s the sub this week. Probably hoping they could rest him via sub.

 

[pjcrows]

I've largely defended selection under Nicks/the rebuild.

This is putrid.

So big in Adelaide he should have a Beckhamesque range of deodorants and colognes.

 

[MrBarry]

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.

That would be aboslutely bonkers if true, but is likely an explanation.

 

[Torpedro]

Where did I say I wanted Hammil dropped?

You didn’t. You suggested dropping Mackay instead of Ronin. Assuming all the other changes were the same, that would mean Hamill is still omitted. But that would leave us a defender short. It was only one of Mackay or Hamill out. And god knows why, but they chose to keep Mackay

 

[cleanhands]

I’d like to post something but I’m stunned and bewildered

 

[hey shorty]

Then play a different kid, which we've done.

Dropping Hamill isn't the issue for mine, the retention of the other bloke is.

It actually does.

I mean it's better than a bunch of ridiculous selections like we got with the Sandos and the Pykes of the world.

But its still not quite there yet

 

[Scorpus]

5 games.

The total number of games we have chosen to give to a sub 30 game player this year instead of playing an available over 30 game player.

5 games in total.

Experience to the end of time

 

[Murray2503]

These changes don't make sense. I can understand Walker for Frampton. Frampton is garbage so that's a no brainer. Murray or Worrell in as we are too small down back. The question is who you bring out for him. Surely a player you signed up for his final year at the club (Mackay) comes out. Are we still in contention for finals are we? Not the right player to leave in even if we were.

McHenry who is a pressure small forward for O'Connor who is a mid. Didn't Berry pressure enough last week? Wouldn't we have more flexibility with Berry and O'Connor rotating through midfield so we could have fresher legs in there in the last quarter instead of fading away as we have done over the last month. Wouldn't it be smarter to give McHenry another week off after a heavy concussion instead of rushing him back when the team last week looked the best it has all year.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Three kids dropped and Golden Ticket remains, never change Adelaide never change

 

[hey shorty]

O'Connor extremely unlucky
