Preview Changes: round 13 vs Geelong. ADELAIDE OVAL. Sunday 23rd August.

[Betts are off]

I’m ready to bring Jones back in, see how he responds to a form related dropping.

It’s an important part of football for every young player. Getting dropped and learning to respond immediately

 

[CrowBloke]

I reckon the Crows are a chance if they go full-on Sheedy/Roos/Lyon and flood the back-line from the first bounce!
Getting every player behind the ball is the primary objective of this strategy and having no teammates to kick it to down the ground is mainly irrelevant...!

It won't take long for the Cats, out of frustration with the continuing stoppages and congestion in their front half, to lose the plot and go the knuckle - whereas the Crows get a few 50 meter penalties resulting in goals.
Rinse and repeat.

It may go down as one the ugliest games ever witnessed, but a win is a win, good luck...!!!!

What you propose (tongue-in-cheek or not) means that the Crows would have a plan for a particular opposition. It would also involve Crows players running in waves out of defence, to create forward opportunities.
Yeah/nah, won't happen.

Getting sick of having to wait until the evening before the game to know the changes.

I really dont see the point in them waiting that long to name the teams. Just release them like normal.

Particularly given Nicks has already picked the side.

Yeah its really pointless, struggling to understand the logic in delaying it.

We think the element of surprise will help.... keep the Cats under 100 points.

I thought the AFL only brought it in for the condensed fixture, which made sense. Doesn’t make any sense to continue that during a normal round like this.

 

[Scorpus]

IN: Jones, Crocker, Fogarty, Butts
OUT: Talia (knee), McPherson (hamstring), Seedsman, McAsey

McHenry on the emergency list

 

[Mutineer]

Have to say they do seem to be a pretty tight knit group...

 

[1990crow]

IN: Jones, Crocker, Fogarty, Butts
OUT: Talia (knee), McPherson (hamstring), Seedsman, McAsey

McHenry on the emergency list

Not sure what Crocker is doing to deserve a go. Would rather McHenry get games.

 

[Scorpus]

Seedsman pays the price for his horrible miss(es) in front of goal. Very deserved

 

[Scorpus]

Defence looks very shaky without Talia, Hamill and McPherson

Kelly, Mackay and Hartigan are all absolute crap. Second KPD is a first game player. Also lacking a bit of depth and rotation options through there.

 

[jackster83]

IN: Jones, Crocker, Fogarty, Butts
OUT: Talia (knee), McPherson (hamstring), Seedsman, McAsey

McHenry on the emergency list

That pretty much confirms Atkins is done with us.

 

[Scorpus]

He made the emergency list but yeah... finished

 

[SuperBashBros]

Our seconds played today mixing with Hawks and Port.

Not ideal.

I'm nervous about Jones. Hopefully he's refreshed and clear mentally.

Yeah, not that our defence was starring anyway... but Kelly stays in? Useless, seriously.
Hartigan, Butts, Kelly, MacKay, Brown, Smith and ???
We must be mixing up the back 7 though, Laird to go back there? Or trying someone new, Sloane, Sholl or Jones?
I'm OK with that, i would rather see new ideas than the same old crpp.

 

[BACCS]

Damn, Talia not getting up is not ideal in two fronts. He has a good record on Hawkins and Kelly gets a game.

 

[GetInMyVanBerlo]

Other than Crocker over McHenry, not bad changes, don't know what else we can do about our defence with Tals, Andy, and Hamill out, McAsey instead of Hartigan would be ideal in a full strength team but having Hawkins kick 10 on him wouldn't do much good.

Nicks said Kelly was going out for Butts if Talia got up, unfortunately he hasn’t.

Thats how we roll against Geelong

 

[Dewy006]

Good to see we’re not doing the Hokey Poholke, one game in and then one game out...



I’ll show myself the door

 

[Murray2503]

Not a good looking team.
