Preview Changes: R11 vs Collingwood

[Crow-eater]

What about the bloke that concussed Hamill, nothing?

Was sent straight to the tribunal, so looking at ~3 games

 

[CrowBloke]

I realise he's the new whipping boy around here but apart from a couple of brain farts he was one of the best if not best last night across the 4 quarters.

Absolutely disagree. Can't believe we watched the same game/player.
"Whipping boy"?
Mrouch has been ineffective for weeks. He burns the ball by kicking oob, ootf, wide of teammates or to oppo chests, and handballs to static players or behind them, or at their feet. His defensive work and chasing is non-existent --- his opponents are regularly the oppo's best players.
I was a big Mrouch fan, but I've watched him carefully and he's been awful.

Thanks, good.

 

[VKCrow]

Based on the last two weeks, Collingwood are beatable. They don't have a forward line

Neither do we

 

[I_Was_There]

Neither do we

Do we have any line?

We even struggle with a line in the sand.

 

[FR0GGY]

Didn't he get the ball which popped up in the air as a result?

That was my thought, although I haven’t seen the footage since.

Mrouch looked buggared in the 1st quarter!

He isn't fit which impacting on the quality of his disposal, ability to make space & to pressure his opponent.

He should be rested to do private running sessions til he is AFL level fit.

Need to send half the side to fat camp over the summer. Matt looks like Úter from the Simpsons, with Fog not far behind.

The other half need to hit the gym.

 

[Crow Envy]

What did Ben Davis do during the covid break?

Pumped games into him during the preseason and played round 1, never to be seen again, spoken about or even made it to the emergencies.

We’ve made numerous changes, including to our disfunctional forward line and he can’t get a game.

Wouldn't be such a big problem except for the fact we re-signed him to a 3 year deal last year, since then 2 games

 

[SaltPeter]

So looking like Collingwood will be missing Treloar, Hoskin-Elliot, Quaynor from tonights game along with Pendlebury, DeGoey, Howe already out. Maynard also hurt his should but played out the game.

This game might be a lot closer than people think.

I admire your optimism

 

[SaltPeter]

I admire your optimism

They'll be playing off of a 5 day break and flight a from Brisbane. Come-oooon .. get on board

I was on board with the roos after dropping their two best players

 

[SaltPeter]

Yeah, but that was different .. jump back on, come on, you know you want too

 

[TRP1996]

Treloar won't play

So Sidebottom and Adams will get 50 possies and 10 clearances each?

 

[FR0GGY]

Yeah, but that was different .. jump back on, come on, you know you want too

I’ll wait for the announcement that they haven’t got enough players to field a side.

Need to tag Sidebottom. He doesn't handle a tag well.

 

[FR0GGY]

Need to tag Sidebottom. He doesn't handle a tag well.

Or his alcohol

The rain forecast is a good omen for drought break ..

 

[SaltPeter]

Or his alcohol

But we're proud of him

[hendo8888]

I would like to see him tried in the Back 1/2 . His aggression at the player is excellent

Seemed to be actively seeking out a fight last night. Was super shovey every time he got tackled/tackled someone.

 

[CrowBloke]

He should be rested compelled to do private running sessions til he is AFL level fit.

ftfy
I'd like to know what Mrouch (and many others) were doing during the C-19 lockdown.
If they ever had a chance to work with a Personal Trainer (they can afford it), that was it.

Alternatively, why were players not given a program detailed to the individual by the Club, to achieve a high level of fitness/durability? They are the slowest, least fit, least likely to run/chase Crows side I have ever seen.

 

[Red mist]

In Sloane
Out Murphy

Matt Crouch? Back 1/2?

I couldn't think of a more "we're tanking" move.
