Preview Changes: R22 v Collingwood

[pjcrows]

Backline still looks shaky af without Keath.

Doedee.

 

[TexForPM]

Meh. Atkins is a net negative. Does a few good things a game, but also does lots of bad things and goes missing, especially in pressure matches.

Good riddance

Best kick of the year.

Wanted him gone since about round 5.
Terrible accountability

 

[hey shorty]

Does it though?

Seed has had some down games like many players. But I've never seen him spud it up to the extent of Atkins

It does.

Seedsman doesn't make the same errors but he does disappear as much.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I'm not convinced Seedsman is a much better option than Atkins.

He absolutely is, Atkins should've been dropped after his one-possession half against Brisbane.

 

[hey shorty]

The mind boggles what the selectors are thinking these days.. I swear they make half their decisions just for the lols and to watch Big Footy melts for their entertainment..

Why ??

People complain that we don't change things up, well we have and people still ****ing whinge.

 

[Mutineer]

Sounds like Seedsman too

I obviously rate what Seedsman brings to the table a lot more than you do, when fit and in form he's line breaker with the accurate, penetrating foot skills to deliver into the corridor or bang through goals from outside 50.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Laughable slowest team no forward line pressure play another big man up there

 

[MRB37]

Backline still looks shaky af without Keath.

He's gone, we've already got a deal in the works to trade him and he's sitting out so he doesn't accidentally make his ankle any worse. New team wants him firing to start their next pre-season.

 

[hey shorty]

He absolutely is, Atkins should've been dropped after his one-possession half against Brisbane.

Seedsman disappears just as often

 

[pjcrows]

Seedsman v Atkins?

Haha. I can't believe you'd even debate it.

 

[Murray2503]

Pretty clueless selections. Where's Keath? Can't be still injured? Why Douglas and Mackay? Just why? You think Gallucci and Jones couldn't do what these old hacks can do? Please. Why not move Lynch to wing and play Berg with Walker and Fog? Weak selections Don. Was hoping for more from you but expected this.

 

[hey shorty]

So does Atkins, neither do it enough

 

[Scorpus]

I obviously rate what Seedsman brings to the table a lot more than you do, when fit and in form he's line breaker with the accurate, penetrating foot skills to deliver into the corridor or bang through goals from outside 50.

And he tackles more than 0 times a game

 

[Deaneus!]

Strange changes.

I disagree with but understand Seedsman for Atkins, we can't have people hitting Fog on the chest in the 50 like last week, it embarrasses the selectors

but Otten out, ROB in? Is ROB supposed to run around in the backlines?

 

[Bearded Clam]

Meh. Atkins is a net negative. Does a few good things a game, but also does lots of bad things and goes missing, especially in pressure matches.

Good riddance

Hope he gets the message... and requests a trade.. i’ll fly down from the goldie to drive him to the airport..

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I like R.O.B back as first ruck but Sauce needed to be dropped. Him up forward will end in tears, you'd be better off selecting a member to put the boots on and plonking them up forward instead, including my 5 foot mother.

 

[Scorpus]

He's gone, we've already got a deal in the works to trade him and he's sitting out so he doesn't accidentally make his ankle any worse. New team wants him firing to start their next pre-season.

Hopefully we move on Kelly as well

A refreshed backline of Talia, Butts, Doedee, Brown and others excites me. Roll it out round 1, 2020.

Trade in some cheap depth and boom, good times especially if we get a good return for Keath

 

[ContrarianCrow]

I defy anyone to watch the last 2 minutes of the Eagles game and explain how Douglas deserves to keep his spot.

 

[Murray2503]

Does Don seriously want to make finals or not? Selections indicate he doesn't really care. Strange.

 

[Cap]

Surely this is the Crows attempt at a going away match for Sauce.

They'll drop him next week, surely.

 

[pjcrows]

Chayce has had his loads reduced because he's pretty tired, not going to play AFL again until next year. Needs another pre-season along with Ned.

That explains Douglas.

 

[jackster83]

That interchange bench doesn't inspire confidence.

This is probably the one week where we can get away with two rucks. The Grundy factor plus the fact that Collingwood's backline isn't the tallest.

A faster player should have also come in for Lynch.

 

[hey shorty]

Strange changes.

I disagree with but understand Seedsman for Atkins, we can't have people hitting Fog on the chest in the 50 like last week, it embarrasses the selectors

but Otten out, ROB in? Is ROB supposed to run around in the backlines?

He was a defender in his u18 days.

 

[Thetrader15]

Two steps forward
Otten, Rat out

One step back: Jacobs stays.

No idea how Jacob offers more than Otten. I suppose we will play ROB forward, he won't do much there and so will be dropped for next week.

 

[Mutineer]

Playing 2 Rucks Stefan Martin and Oscar McInerney hasn't seemed to hurt Brisbane too much....
