Preview Changes: R7 v Carlton

From somewhere on the Carlton Board pre-game thread:
"We haven't played the Crows in Adelaide for over [8] years, that's why the games between the sides have been close over recent years. They're missing key significant players and we have a good chance to jump them."

I'm confused, didn't I say that? Lol.

Keath and Cheney are both injured. Hunter and Dear aren’t ready (and not sure they ever will be).

Still reckon the club would lean to selecting Otten over Keath if fit & Cheney isn’t a KPD, nor is Hunter and how would they know about Dear especially in the current SANFL team, blooding him as a defender against Carlton would of been ideal to see if he’s ever going to be up to it.

being managed after 2 AFL games WOW

2nd game back after interrupted pre season and he is running near 20k a game in those two games

 

[spenze]

“Managed” means dropped but we don’t want to say dropped

Ha, I wondered why my girlfriend in year 10 said I was being managed

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Limited pre-season after ankle surgery WOW

Please he has played two games and if the club feels that he needs to be managed then don't risk him, don't list him as an emergency and take him completely off the selection table

 

[MRB37]

Theres no way Murphy comes in anytime soon, Knight and Poholke out and he still can't get in

Was always likely down to him or Gooch, and Gooch has done better so far.

Knights is a hammy . Club dont want to annouce it. Throw him on the emergency list to disguise it. I dont believe a word coming out the club regarding injuries.

Oooh the AFC website says "managed"

It's like the bad old days of spin that we suffered under the Trigg regime. "Shit, too many hammies, they're starting to question our efficacy. Awareness got zero traction, maybe a bit above their head. They've been wanting players to be managed for a while, any chance they'll swallow that shit?"

Luckily for them, most do, even a large portion of tragics here that still won't question our physical performance staff.

Hampton injured again

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

2nd game back after interrupted pre season and he is running near 20k a game in those two games

if he needs to be managed after two games then he should have had a stronger lead in being selected for his 1st game

I think awareness levels in regards to Crows hamstring injuries is at an all time high. We couldn’t be much more aware than we are now!

Where did you read that?

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

my point is if the club list you as managed there is surely a reason to be managed and you take the player completely off the selection table

listing someone as "Managed"but having them as an emergency is a bit BS to me

Why? He's being managed, he's not injured. If he was dropped, what reason would we have for not just saying so?

 

[rezagun]

Fog to kick 10

 

[VictorianCrow85]

Hopefully they make Fog captain

Long overdue isn't it?

 

[1970crow]

Intrest call on Knight as he been named as the emergency.

Smoke and mirrors. Managed has zero plausibility without him being named as an emergency.

I guess we’ll find out if he is managed for the next 2-3 weeks.

It most certainly is.

 

[StonesThrow]

Love a good Thursday melt

 

[Modra4PM]

Let's not get too carried away about Knight being managed with the amount of injuries we have had this year. We don't know how his body is holding up. It's probably a good game to manage him for as we don't really need an enforcer against Carlton.

 

[1970crow]

Theres no way Murphy comes in anytime soon, Knight and Poholke out and he still can't get in

Was 4 weeks without a game. Was preferred cover last week hence him not playing SANFL. But the extra week off has cost him, as was posted in the SANFL thread.

 

[CrowinNT]

Hampton injured again

When and what ?

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Hampton injured again

3rd and final year of his contract, has spent much of his time in rehab

needs to get his body right quickly

 

[Elite Crow]

What does John have to say? Was Knight helping with the twins?

 

[spenze]

if he needs to be managed after two games then he should have had a stronger lead in being selected for his 1st game

With our injury list did we have that luxury?
