Preview Changes: R11 vs Collingwood

[CrowBloke]

... Fog runs out of puff just running from the goal square to the centre circle.

Looks to me like the warm-up does him in

GWS is a sneaky one as well. There is easily enough talent there that if they do get hot, they'll do a lot of damage.

They've have to come from the bottom half of the top 8 again me thinks, and that's tough.

I've got them finishing 9th.

Overcoached by the worst coaching group ever assembled.

And that will never change. A lesser group will never, ever find their way together.

Yeah, could be ... but they're too inconsistent for mine. Gotta win at least 3 games straight to get the Flag.

It's a tough draw. The list is stacked though, and really, finals are all about getting hot at the right time.

GWS fate is well and truly in GWS hands.

 

[1970crow]

It's only taken a condensed schedule and a pandemic for us to do it.

Last week's selection, especially the late change debutante and today's presser. 2 good things within a week.

GWS finishing 9th would be incredible for us. Absolute best case scenario.
Which means I'm fully expecting them to get hot and make the Grand Final again.

Incredibly after not winning a game this year and upsetting neighbours due to my shouting at the tv at how poo we are - Nicks is starting to impress me with his decisions and selections - and I agree with an earlier post that presser was a good one.

He has taken on a mess and had to start way behind the eight ball - youngsters should have been blooded way earlier. We may be a rabble but maybe just maybe he may still guide us out -- sure that might be in 2023 but he is doing a few things right.

I'm hopeful that the backfire that occurred when they loaded up the experience thinking a win was on the cards has allowed Nicks to push a genuine development agenda. And that agenda will actually result in better performances. Huge turnaround in effort and efficacy between Roos and Demons. Hopefully the club power brokers have realised the stupidity of their ways.

Talia being Manage at the start, along with Brodie will play, Hartigan comes in 1.25 , Jones not playing at 7.57

Something which really stood out from this press conference, Nicks mentions something around the 5:50 mark around 'becoming a physical side off ball, so that we were not dictated to' against Melbourne.

More of that Nicks, and you might just win me over yet.

Side note, it's super annoying that the early game starts at 5:40, and teams come out at 5:55. It's only 15 mins different, but it means I have to assume/hope that the Crows don't drop Schoenberg/Sholl/if they play Davis, before the guy I'm trading out's game starts.

Those bastards.

So when are the teams announced?

So when are the teams announced?

any minute now.

 

[Mego Red]

David King mentioned on Fox Footy last night (it's in their podcast feed) that our defensive numbers over the last four weeks are second best in the comp.

It may not be much, but it's something.

Don't mind that. Sholl and Shoenberg stay in.

Edit: Still look a bit tall forward, especially in an expected wet game.

Not bad. Good to see Sholl and Schoey retained. Crocker is pretty lucky to keep his spot - surely it's his last chance this week. Kelly had to go though - he was deplorable against Melbourne.

 

[Scorpus]

Stengle for Murphy and McPherson for Kelly makes us a MUCH better team

Smith in as well and it's not a bad side

 

[Scorpus]

It's quite amazing how the teams we are now fielding look somewhat close to the teams people wanted at the start of the year.

Schoenberg, Sholl, McPherson, McHenry all playing. Hamill would normally be there too. Kelly, Murphy, Atkins, Gibbs not considered

 

[pjcrows]

Based on the last two weeks' selections - the rebuild has started. Finally.

 

[SuperBashBros]

Just a little thing but I just love seeing Schoenberg named as rover on field.
