Seems to be a little excitement and enthusiasm here for selections .. haven't seen that for a while
This builds good culture.

No one really wants to see Poholke beating M Crouch to a spot. Matt is a far better player.

But you can’t just continue not turning up for work. You can’t be allowed to think that’s ok, and most importantly, you can’t allow the guys to think that’s ok with no consequences. Sends a bad message, seeps in...we own this place we’re untouchable.

What we all want is for Matt to work hard and get back to where we know he can be - AA standard. We need him.

Well f#%*

Terrible news for him and his playing future
I'd say it's probably good news for him in the long run because he's out of contract season's end and probably now gets a Sam Shaw type lifeline.....think he was a very real chance of being moved on otherwise after Mick Godden's serve.

I respected your preferred Berry choice
But feel for the lad

I'm stoked to see McAdam's selection as well

Still Achilles can really mess up leg speed. Probably does buy him next season though.

You'd assume we'd retain so we can get him healthy. Well I hope we do. Duty of care and whatnot.
 
Hopefully Matt comes back in with fire in the belly. Hopefully we never see Seedsman again - can’t remember seeing a weaker player pull on the Crows guernsey.

Good to see Poholke get a chance and need that 2nd ruck/contested forward in the team. McAdam also offers that contested marking option, but speed as well.

Really only room for one of Tex or Fog. Tex last chance.
 
Gallucci might get a 1 year contract or a demotion to rookie list but yeah... not great for his career
this, would be a dick move to delist, though if list numbers drop who knows.... but yeah I don't think they would
 
I respected your preferred Berry choice
But shorely feel for the lad
Way to take my post the wrong way....I'd think career wise this will actually give him another chance to get his shit together because all indications were he was gone season's end.

I’m thinking it either Tex or Lynch

Just listened to Nick's presser this afternoon. Apparently he lost quite a bit of time over the preseason with a neck injury.

Really sorry for Jordan Gallucci. I think he is a capable player. I saw us win at the SCG a couple of years ago. I was at ground level in his forward pocket and he was nippy and clever. I thought there were terrific signs, but he just hasnt come on. Who knows why. I guess the same can be said for Miles Poholke. Perhaps both were overshadowed by our strong midfield - at the time - so they didnt have the chance to develop over time in the big time. And now its their chance, they havent had the right preparation - and we used to be so good at developing players!
 
Dropping M Crouch is ridiculous - our midfield is shallow and sucks, and we’re dropping one of the only quality players we have.

Get some structure and support around him - all of our first choice mids rotation are going to look shit at the moment, because we have no run and movement around the field.


It’s a statement to drop him, but a mistake. Should’ve dropped Lynch instead, or Crocker/Keays.

Why Crouch and not Laird, or Lynch or any of the other front runners?


At least Matt gets his hands dirty and puts in.
