Preview Changes: R6 2021 v Hawthorn in Tasmania

[hey shorty]

Yeah, seems like there must be something going on there.

I reckon he's gonna play too. RT will play instead of Lynch upfield.

 

[Grenville]

Last week the Bulldogs won their fifth game in a row and had 7 players with less than 50 games.

This week, three of the unforced changes reduced their “KIDS“ from 7 to 4*.

Are you saying that we should make unforced changes to reduce the number of KIDS?

Not one of your best Trolls Scorpus.

* We have averaged more than FOURTEEN sub-50 game players a week this season

Hard to read much into that when we only have 13 +50 game players on the list and 4 have been unavailable/injured. Keays only just ticked over to 50.
We really cant average less than 14.

 

[BrissyCrow]

As Riley Thilthorpe comes in Logan McDonald gets dropped...Who'da thunk that.

Reckon he and Campbell are being managed.

Yes, that is the point.

Why do we have only 13 players with 50+ games on our list? Was it the bubonic plague?

As a club we have finally chosen to have a total rebuild but rather than embracing the 14 or 15 KIDS playing each week the Trolls prefer to make a hundred posts about the ONE game played by Mackay (who I was calling to be axed 6 years ago).

 

[GameofSloanes]

It’s 2025 and Nicks comes out for his first press conference for the year at Thebarton just as they start to dig the tunnel!

They'll still be digging in 2035

 

[WetCrow1991]

Can’t kick straight.

Another positive

 

[WetCrow1991]

Yes, that is the point.

And you didn't know what a troll was 6 years ago either.

 

[Carmo]

Himmelberg must be wondering if his future is at the Crows. Clearly he’s been in the better form and also has some runs on the board with some pretty impressive games last year, but leapfrogged by a rookie in sh*t form.

On 5aa radar said something like tilly was doing everything right from his side with timing, running and positioning but our crap forward deliveries meant he was having nothing to show for it, so they thought it was worth bringing him up a level to get the better delivery and see how he goes.

 

[CrowinNT]

Heat + rain + travel = f*n fantastic!

Dry season in Cairns so 2 of those may not apply

 

[jenny61_99]

Heat + rain + travel = f*n fantastic!

In June? Be a balmy 26 degrees, little chance of rain.

 

[jenny61_99]

I was thinking similarly.
I heard he was less-than-happy that Adelaide called his name.

Did you also Hear that he’s gotten over that and is enjoying himself now? At 18 it’s a big ask to uproot to a different state, be billeted at a strange house. But he’s had over a year now, and things change.

 

[1970crow]

Thilthorpe v Hartigan haha.

Harto is good at bodying his opponent under the ball. If we drop the ball on TT's head, Harto will account for him easily.

 

[1970crow]

Yet another blow for the Trolls and Troll-lite.

I don’t doubt their ability to spin this into a negative.

So.... WTF is Ugle-Hagan ?

Yeh, because this aligns with what they wanted. By gum you!re dumb.

The strange one was Frampton being played and even after Frampton couldn't play any worse they continued to play him up to the point where it was getting ridiculous. For Himmelberg to not play a preseason or in season game after finishing the 2nd half of last season strongly says there has obviously been some sort of falling out between both parties.

Surely this can be resolved so that if Himmelberg is the best option for the team he is picked instead of a point being made. If it can't be resolved then they are likely hoping that Himmelberg asks for a trade end of the year. Not sure why they gave him a contract if they are managing him as though they want him gone. I would have thought there were some other candidates they would want gone before him. Perhaps they are wanting to give his contract to Walker or Fogarty.

 

[pjcrows]

Repeated Sunday games sucks.

 

[1970crow]

Dogs undefeated. That'll show them for making four unforced changes after a win. Bloody destroyed their continuity

Oh wait

Idiots. Did they not learn from Freo's hubris last week. That said, does anybody remember the below idiocy? I do, I was driving Adelaide to Alice chasing stations. Totally ruined continuity credits. Morons.

Wow Jack is Back , did this escape your international expert?

Chosen?

 

[BACCS]

Repeated Sunday games sucks.

And the Saints still get rewarded with blockbuster time slots in round 9 and 10 despite having a terrible start to the season, so much for rewarding teams that have a good start to the season

 

[Murray2503]

No club chooses to do a total rebuild. A total rebuild is forced upon a club by their list mismanagement. Total rebuild is code for poor draft picks which didn't work out leaving a gap on the list for experience combined with players we wanted to stay who have left which adds to the loss of experience. Throw in sone bad contracts to undeserving experienced players, an inability to move out underperforming players and an inability to trade in anyone of quality and you have the recipe for a total rebuild. Good clubs rarely go through a total rebuild as essentially that means your systems have failed. The only club that would have an out for a total rebuild recently would be Hawthorn.

No, I had not, and if that's the case it's great news, for the Crows and him.

[Pugsley]

Surely they can have a press conference away from a construction/demolition site? I don't know what it is but this is incredibly unprofessional.

Perhaps a room?

Can a room be that hard to arrange?

Geez the AFL is a multi million dollar business. You just wouldn't think it....

We cater to all. We wanted to be at one with the working class.

 

[1970crow]

And the Saints still get rewarded with blockbuster time slots in round 9 and 10 despite having a terrible start to the season, so much for rewarding teams that have a good start to the season

Is that the stated goal?

you like to fall for the odd conspiracy theory do you Muzza?.. is elvis still alive?.. moon landing staged was it?.. Covid-19 created by the 5G installation?..

maybe theres been no falling out at all between himmelberg and the club and maybe, just maybe, nicks couldnt give a flying **** about last years performance and has been picking a side based on this years form... and himmelberg‘s form has been rubbish to the point its been even worse than framptons...
