Preview Changes: Round 12 vs Horks - Sat 1st June 1:15pm

[1990crow]

Crows week in summary:

• picked one player in MSD with 3 spots on list available. Player was from SANFL side already playing for us.
• unchanged lineup

How very conservative.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

If we don't make wholesale changes after losses, then there was zero chance of any unforced changes after a 99 point win.

Hamill's papers are probably stamped now (hopefully McHenry's too, but I'm not holding my breath).

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Do you play 3?
Chol and Dear

Sicily forward?

Gunston.

Hardwick plays as an old school leading forward too and Sicily can go forward in stints.

 

[Golumless]

I thought he was named on the ground?

Nah, he's on bench.

 

[SellarStardom]

Yes, it makes sense that we would move to the Sub a player who received coaches votes from both sets of coaches last week.

Or we might select the player who had one touch in the last two and a half quarters?

Decisions, decisions, decisions.

My guess is Berry.

I'll take fewer touches and effective disposals over Lairds ceiling high kicks and stat padding thanks.

Offers less than Crouch and there should only be one of them in the centre at any point in time, sub player is ideal for Laird

Hawks I believe have not won at MCG & better record at Docklands this year.

Purely due to who they’ve played
Sydney
Melbourne
Geelong
Essendon
At the G

Vs bulldogs
Brisbane
North
At marvel

Hawks form at Marvel has been better and suits more but good form came around that time, so reading into early form is irrelevant which makes the MCG stats also irrelevant.

 

[Brett Cummings]

Man if nank is sub nicks needs to resign. What an awful coach if that happens.

 

[Pugsley]

Flat track bullies so he leaves the side unchanged

 

[GreyCrow]

Quick analysis of our comparative records this year:

• Both played 11 matches and won 4 (we've also got a draw)
• Our % is 113 versus theirs at 82.8
• Of the 11 matches we have 7 common opponents (COLL, ESS, GEEL, BRI, MEL, PORT, GCS)
  • Of that subset of matches we have a 1-1-5 record (W-D-L) and HAW are 1-0-6
  • Of those 7 matches with common opponents there were 5 where it was the same opponent AND same 'location' (COLL (A), GEEL (H), LIONS (H), MEL (H), GCS (A))
    • Of those 5 'like-for-like' matches we have a 0-1-4 record v HAW 1-0-4 however we have the 'superior' result in 4 of those 5 matches
      • COLL: we lost by 4; they lost by 5
      • GEEL: we lost by 19; they lost by 36
      • BRI: we drew; they won by 25
      • MEL: we lost by 15; they lost by 55
      • GCS: we lost by 6; they lost by 53

Make of that what you will!

Not sure if you are trying to cheer us up or ground us?

 

[huludicidal]

I wonder what Nicks plan for Sicily will be?

Surprised he didn’t bring in the Tommy Stewart stoppa Lukey Pedlar

 

[AFC979810]

Three KPDs again. On the bigger MCG?

I know it didn't hurt us last week and all three played well but I'd rather some extra run

Spot on.

Just don't know what the matchup is for Borlase.

 

[FR0GGY]

Spot on.

Just don't know what the matchup is for Borlase.

Just gives us an option to bring the sub on early when we find that out, smart thinking

 

[skam85]

Wouldn't expect anything less than you completely misunderstanding clear reasoning for my posts. Carry on.

Going by your posting history I'm not sure clear reasoning is a very often used ingredient in your word salads.

 

[hugecannon]

Spot on.

Just don't know what the matchup is for Borlase.

Butts - Chol
Keane - Gunston
Borlase - Dear

This would be my guess for matchups

 

[Crows I Am]

Man if nank is sub nicks needs to resign. What an awful coach if that happens.

Can't see that happening. Nank has been in good form the last few weeks. Will be out of Murphy and Berry

 

[rabidcrow]

Spot on.

Chol, Dear, Gunston - Butts, Borlase, Keane

Dear

Wouldn't surprise me if he went Cook under the guise of half a rest. SHOULD be Murphy after Berry played a half game last week.

He never would, but Laird could be an inspired decision. Can play back, can play mid if we need, frees up the midfield rotations.

Sums up about the last 20 years for us....

 

[crows dude]

Who for Hardwick? Hinge?

Yeah it will be Cook, they’ll need to give Berry a run, he hasn’t played a full game of any sorts for ages

 

[rabidcrow]

Which one do you put Borlase on?

I think in the order I had them. Butts on Chol, , Borlase on Dear and Keane on Gunston
