He wont if Brown and Hamill come back in.I’d be ok with those changes, but you know DMac will retain his spot.

Thanks for a reasonable and interesting answer , even if I disagree.
1) that's vastly different from saying that he should be dropped for 10 weeks to give Fog a string of games, but ALL players need to be managed.
2) the Crows will not be very interesting to you for a number of years. I doubt they'll be contending for Top 8 until 2023, and for a Flag until 2025-ish, by which time most of the senior players (especially Tex and Sloane) will be gone. The Hawks' loss was one that got away, Freo as well.
3) Several players from that losing 2017 GF side are playing with the harsh reality that they will not be part of a Crows Premiership side in their careers. Try to imagine what that feels like; dispiriting, to say the least. That would at least partly explain their terrible form last year.
4) It's not that obvious to me. Do you have any inside info, please? He is clearly suffering from dismal delivery to him from our mids especially, who've been smashed in the last 3 games. That one-hand-up that you refer to could also be from double-teaming (much easier to do when the ball is bombed in high, as defenders leave their man to spoil Tex), and having one arm held or blocked. On the lead with good delivery he is elite. If he is allowed space, he can take a hanger like his MotY contender. Oppo Coaches have woken up and Tex is being crowded.
However, if he was not fit (there was talk about an ankle or calf, yeah?), he should not have played.
5) If he is injured/unfit, most definitely. Applies to all players and I'm still dark about the Lynch fiasco. He'd been playing for two weeks with that sore toe and should have been rested.
6) He's on track to be Top 10 in the Coleman (feasible --- if he averages only 1.5/game from now on, he'll finish with about 50 goals; over the last 10 years, the winner's average is about 70 minor round goals) and will be our leading goalkicker, barring injury.
What he negotiates with the Club for 2022 is up to them, not us.
Presuming all the tests are ready to play, I'd go this
Out: Rowe, McAdam, Himmelberg, McPherson, Mackay
In: Sloane, Fogarty, Worrell, Brown, Hamill
B Brown - Butts - Doedee
HB Hamill - Murray - Smith
C Sholl - Sloane - Seedsman
HF McHenry - Walker - Berry
F Murphy - Fogarty - Thilthorpe
R O'Brien - Laird - Keays
I Schoenberg - Hately - Kelly - Worrell
I'm sick and tired of the crows finishing a mediocre 7-12th every year. I want to be a club like West Coast that contends and wins flags regularly (and who also bottom out to do so). That means making tough calls on players.
Tealsters up and about, a cheap win for them.
Flat tracking till September.....

It's a long season..You don't. You really don't.
But you still chose to rest him in a game against a top 4 rival, to ensure he was right for a game against a bottom 4 team.
They could've rested him this week. Reckon being competitive last week would've made more sense long term.It's a long season..
No different to Richmond resting players round 6 last year against us in Adelaide.
Really? So taking a 33 year old with a "calf injury" in may on 3.5 hour flight when we have an abundance of players who can play through the middle would be the right call you reckon? LolThey could've rested him this week. Reckon being competitive last week would've made more sense long term.
Far be it from us to suggest that maybe taking your best side to Brisbane to take on a fellow challenger is more important than saving him to play one of the bottom sides on your home deckIs that Alan Richardson?
Maybe we'll use him as a sub this week.
Hamill and Brown in would be a good boost, and if Sloane could come back in the form he was in pre injury we might kick a couple goals.
well being someone that had to give playing ball sports away due to calf injuries, I know a thing or 2 about them..but I never ever had the luxury of a full time posse of PT's, Physio's etc to work on my recovery all the way through.I don't think you understand that traveling with a calf injury especially on a long flight is hands down the worse thing you can do.. I'll just leave it at that.
Long interstate trips with a calf , he was always going to be rested. The fact that we were playing you the week after is irrelevant.
We don't need boak this week.
To be fair they would've still been thumped.well being someone that had to give playing ball sports away due to calf injuries, I know a thing or 2 about them..but I never ever had the luxury of a full time posse of PT's, Physio's etc to work on my recovery all the way through.
But you seem to know best and the mindset of taking Brisbane in Brisbane that lightly by choosing to not risk taking your best mid up there to play thinking you will save him for a game v a bottom end side the week might cost a top 4 spot come seasons end
Quad isn't it.
Likely, but maybe it sent the wrong message to the rest of the side. But anyway, its gone and over and Port have come badly undone now in 2 away games against fellow challengers and rightly have question marks over their headsTo be fair they would've still been thumped.
Is there a point hidden in this gibberish rant somewhere?
I'd be careful making statements like that. Like it or not the Power is closer to winning a flag than we are. Who knows perhaps they can win two in the next few years and then you will have egg on your face. I wouldn't be gloating about premierships at the moment.You guys do it every year. Maybe that's why you've only ever won one flag.

Why is everyone so willing to rush brown in ? I see it similar to Lynch situation - senior player clearly carrying an injury that’s affecting his formPresuming all the tests are ready to play, I'd go this
