Preview Changes: R7 vs GWS

[ad victoriam]

Whoa boy settle down.

No need to, time will tell.

 

[Mutineer]

No need to, time will tell.

It sure will..

 

[hey shorty]

It sure will..

You've taken the angry pills today

 

[mattymac]

Also now that we've seen Thilthorpe there is no reason at all to play Himmelberg or Frampton. He's basically made the tall pack marking forward role his.

 

[ad victoriam]

delusional much...

Or just plain clueless?

Na I look ahead. not sideways. Murray good but he not going to the defender people think. Borlase will overtake by years end,
and with Talia coming back in 6-7 weeks I would put games into McAsey and let Borlase improve his game in the SANFL.

Bullshit anyone that's talking 1st round picks for McAsey is taking the piss.

The same Borlase that had a 189cm KPF Aiden Grace kick a bag full on him?

Careful optimism.

I don't necessarily disagree, but they played a defensive setup similar to ours in the first 70 minutes of the game.

Berg and Walker took the talls they had.... Which left RT to do what he did.

And again.

If we don't play him then you correct, but from what I saw on Sat he has the ability to open a few eyes.

But Berg just can't hold his marks. Thilthorpe has that extra reach and solid hands. There is an absolute Gulf of talent between them.

Yea, and that comment is almost a copy from one I got a few years ago from Marty when Doedee was well beaten in the SANFL.

Berg and Thilthorpe really help our contested marking. 3 talls works for west coast and I think it can for us. It's either Himmelberg or Fog. Can't have both. Are we better off bringing in another mid for Fogarty or persisting with him as a mid? I think you either play him as a forward or not at all. Really comes down to who is the better forward out of Berg and Fogarty.

 

[hey shorty]

Holds the hard ones, drops the easy ones does the Berg.

Also, we really don't need to be rucking the kid this early in his career especially in the middle

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

I thought Fog actually did some good things around stoppage.

You can't say ok let's try you in a new role and then only give him 3 games. He's progressing. Might click soon.

I agree. He might never be a 30 touch a game mid, but he might end up a 20 touch 2 goal a game mid if we are lucky. I think losing a few KG would help

 

[1970crow]

Doubt Berry will return, no such thing as a 1 week ankle they say. Hamill will miss and we'll replace him with a KPD or Dmac. That's the only certain out. We're too tall up forward, it's so hard to create pressure across the ground when exits are so pressureless. We might address this by dropping Fog. Probably not though.

 

[Mutineer]

Doedee was a 1st round pick Borlase was taken in the rookie draft with no interest at all from the mob down the road is the reality.

 

[ams4crows]

To be honest, 2 weeks ago I would have said Murray, But after watching Sat game, McAsey clicked and show strong glimpse's on why the Crows selected him,
What impressed me the most was his 2nd and 3rd efforts, and he's reading the play. he close to being ready to go,

Agreed, we need to give him an opportunity, to show us why he was taken with pick 6

This..

I thought Fog actually did some good things around stoppages.. i want them to persist with him..

Even if it doesnt work out at least he might build a better tank which can only help his forward craft.. eventually I see him replacing tex..

 

[cleanhands]

Too much love for McAdam

 

[CrowInFiji]

FTFY

Ugh. No idea.

 

[hey shorty]

Don't think you're finding too much, moreso a distinct lack of it for our other small types.

 

[Vader]

Doedee admitted Jacob Koschitzke to the Callum Chambers club today... Anyone can have an off day every now & then.

When Murphy is about our best small at present we are in trouble up there

Yep, has to continue to Play AFL, get more games into him will help his fitness more than any other way.
