Preview Changes: Round 11 vs GWS

[Vader]

I think you're downplaying the skillsets of a fully fit Hampton, compared with the skillsets of a 4-5 gamer in Murphy, Gooch and Polhoke (Dots).

I'm not downplaying his skillset at all. I just think his lack of situational awareness and abysmal decision making skills make him a liability. Yes, he's fast and knows how to tackle. That doesn't make him a good AFL footballer. Hampton has the physical attributes, but he is not (and never will be) a good AFL footballer.

I don't want to see the Crows wasting AFL games on a player who is a near certainty to be delisted at the end of the year, when those games could be used to develop our talented younger players.

 

[hey shorty]

Did seem like we reached a tipping point

It's been coming for a month, we've been lucky with our opponents, if we jagged the Showdwn and were 7-3 it would have been remarkable.

Otten, Seedsman, Murphy and ROB in.

Seedsman for Poholke
Murphy for someone please.

Gross. Not a single player held accountable for a poor performance again.

 

[Bearded Clam]

In

Otten
Murphy
ROB
Seed

[hey shorty]

No Greene, good.

 

[CharlieCrow]

Seriously - after last week - effectively no changes?

It's not as if they had any replacements waiting in the wings, let alone replacements who are ripping up the SANFL and demanding to be picked.

To have players go out, you need to have replacements ready to come in. We got nada.

Hampton didn’t even make the emergencies. Clearly they want him to play a solid block of SANFL before he will be considered.

That's one possible interpretation. Not the way I would read the tea leaves.

If Hampton is your answer, then you're asking the wrong question.

Happy with Murphy then

Anyone who applies pressure

 

[Squiba]

J Lyons dropped for Gold Coast...

He's names as the starting ruck.

Doesn't matter. Players need to be held accountable for poor performances.

Disappointed Aiden Bonar wasn’t given a look in for the Giants.. apparently he’s really looking the goods in the seconds..

Keen to see his skills.

 

[ams4crows]

Id be playing O'Brien just rest Jacobs for the next 2 weeks dont even bother playing him against Sandi if he's sore bloody rest him. O'Brien is quite capable.

 

[Schulzycrow]

Annnnd Seeds in.
Everyone else redeem yourselves...at least until the next time you go missing.

 

[baldandbroke]

Why would anyone want to include Hampton?

Like clockwork.

Have a look at Weitering. He's gone backwards this year because he lost confidence by being put straight into a Carlton team with a heap of other kids.

Pretty gutsy call to pinpoint the reason weitering hasn’t come on
