1) So which mongrel should we bring in Dave Granger or Phil Carmen
2) At a guess he is hoping Dougy gets back to form as he knows what he is capable of, like he hoped Tex and betts did, and the same reason Smith is being kept in.
3) He did the same with JJ and it rewarded pyke
4) If Jones had been AFL capable when given his opportunity Im sutre he would have left him in

1) C'mon, don't be a mug.
Wouldn't you like to see the Crows play with the same mongrel they showed eg vs Geelong in the 2017 Prelim.?? MONGREL, you know, toughness, some unsociable physicality, the kind all Flag-winning teams display.
NOT the angry thug violence of Psychos like Grave Danger and Fabulous Phil.
2) Kudos for admitting you're guessing. None of us know Pyke's mind, only Pyke.

3) Pyke dropped JJ for poor form. Douglas deserved to be dropped for the same reason.

4) Obviously.

Did pyke not choose Jones to come in because he believes he will get more out of Douglas and Mackay

If you want to talk about what pyke wants

Unlike you, I don't know what Pyke believes or wants.
Please answer my question above on mongrel/toughness/unsociable footy above, if you want a dialogue.

I was responding to how you believe pyke operates

3) Pyke dropped JJ for poor form. Douglas deserved to be dropped for the same

As for mongrel if you have limited output to the team I did give a toss about having mongrel if you think AFL players are scared or worried about a player throwing his weight around your kidding yourself I'd go one on one with fog in a bump but wouldn't go one on one with Barry hall when fists are flying

Oh and Pykes aswell but its hard to put him on ignore now isn't it
Maybe Pyke is a hack and got to the position he is not because of his knowledge and ability but because he is a very very very lucky man
Just when I think you've got a soh, you post stuff like this.

Pyke bought the winning ticket in the 2015 Crows next-Coach Lottery? :oops::oops:

I wish I'd have known about it. I would've bought tickets myself :rolleyes:
(btw, if he does have you on 'ignore' he can't read your replies)

I was saying you have pyke on ignore as you don't agree with him

He was given the job of the crows coach because He knows more than you and me

Surprise surprise

I totally agree on tex and JJ they need to be in form for us to have any chance of a flag

Mackay I agree has had a good year is the hardest two way runner we have and certainly doesn't mind putting his body on the line

Douglas also agree on I would try stengle he has kicked a lot of goals in the twos but I guess pyke has his reasons and is backing Douglas to find his form

There is no form to find. Douglas' body is cooked.

I don't expect them to dominate, but the A team is there to win games not develop players that is what the B team does

Is it really that hard to understand

Jones got given an opportunity with 4 or 5 games and showed he wasn't ready

EH has been given the same

Fog was last year and didn't show enough

Davis was given a game but the team cannot afford that type of performance with the tight competition

Pohlkoke similar to Davis

Gooch is just hanging in there but has done well to hold his spot

ROB kicked arse and commanded his spot
The team cannot afford the type of performance Douglas dishes up. Davis had more positive impact last week than Douglas did.

Far from cooked

On [device_name] using BigFooty.com mobile app
How so?

Average at best last year.

Slow, fumbles, falls over.

3 games now where he has been worst on ground and shown no improvement, can't make contests, doesn't apply effective pressure, doesn't do anything with ball in hand, when he finally gets a cheapie from a team mate.

Please do explain how he is 'far from cooked'?
