Preview Changes: R17 vs Hawthorn @ Marvel

[Geoffa32]

Comforting to hear from Rahilly that we’ll be able to shuffle the side around to get a Matt back in the middle

Schoenberg and Berry back to HF. Hatley back pocket.

Gotta get the most Centre Bounce attendances out of our stacked trio of Laird, Keays and Crouch

Good news for those of us who are more interested in the outcome of our SANFL sides. I think that makes it impossible for Crouch to qualify for finals.

If I was Murphy I'd go have a cry to the media about being dropped. Give it a week or two and he will be back in the seniors. Worked for Crouch.

Yep

Hilarious ... we bring in the worst two way midfielder in the competition to strengthen our defense first line up .

VB can go with Nicks .

I hope he has a sook to his manager!

 

[Magma]

it's just boring, same old selection. we wont make finals and we wont win the spoon. why are we bothering with crouch when he's probably out the door next season? why not give newchurch a block of games and see how he goes in the seniors? give people something different to be interested in

 

[VictorianCrow85]

If there's any ground in the AFL you would generally not want to bring Crouch to play on it's Marvel given the fast nature. I get he's dominated the SANFL and done really all you can ask of him but then someone else should make way from the midfield to ensure or young guys get their exposure.

Double stupid

 

[LeftyLuke]

As usual some changes don't make sense. Is a midfielder omitted or injured? So they essentially bring in Crouch for Rachele. What a messed up club.

If you want to know how far Newchurch is away from being selected….there’s your answer

May as well request a trade. If he cant displace Murphy last week or an out of form Mchenry this week he should just give up on us.

Looks like Crouch's mates still have some sway at the club.

VB in as a coach was a mistake. Ultimate kool aid drinker.

Call him Craigy junior.

 

[LeftyLuke]

Could be worse. If Sloane was fit it would be Sloane, Crouch, Keays dominating that stacked midfield.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The only positive from these selections is it improves our draft pick with a loss... but the most concerning aspect is once again we hinder the decleopment of our next generation midfield.

The AFC selectors have nfi what is needed for a rebuild.

 

[jackster83]

I didn't bother watching last week's game and I don't think I can be bothered watching this one either.

s**t gameplan, s**t coaching, s**t list management, terrible development of players.

We are really s**t.

 

[King Elvis]

Been saying for years we don't have a clear plan/strategy to move forward.

Every week, we feel the need to prove it - again.

 

[Sanders]

Essendon have dropped Jake Kelly

I thought he got coaches votes this week? Or was it last

Nail on head.

Tex was leading the Crouch Cheer Squad.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Yes he would, Noble would definitely pick that type of player

Ah yeah, you are right.

"Defensive pressure is when I handball backwards to a team mate with two opponents on him, and he handballs back to me. For me to handball again. I get two stats that way and 100% efficiency"

All week the message has been how well the young mids went against the best midfield in the league, were only 5 points down in the last quarter, showed some really good signs, and no one should worry.

We were that good, that we're changing up the midfield dynamic totally, against a worse team.

Well s**t - thats a bit unfair surely.

Dangerfield, great player. No flag.
Before him at the Cattery, Gary Ablett Snr, indisputable great player, 4 GF, no flag.
Nathan Buckley, 2 GF, no flag.
Robert Harvey, 1 GF no flag.
Tony Lockett, Bob Skilton,
and many more.

Good Coaches are judged on total Win-Loss more than Premierships, but the great Coaches have won Flags.
