Preview Changes: Round 17 v Melbourne

[TheLeftFist8]

I actually thought Milera tonight wasn't that bad, whilst I do think he does deserve a spot in the two's it's hard to get blokes who use the footy as well as he does. He's a beautiful kick of the footy and very rarely misses a target and generally makes good decisions (when given space to do so)

I'd take 12 of his touches of Mackay's 20.

Facebook reckon Thommo was good...

Id really like the following:

Out - Thommo & Mackay
In - Greenwood & Seedsman/Gooch

 

[GreyCrow]

Thompson will play in Darwin

 

[latinoheat]

Pykey being cagey about Greenwood coming back in next week in the press conference

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Mackay won't be dropped. Greenwood for Thompson and Seedsman for Cameron.

 

[Ramify]

Pretty rough mentioning Mackay in the same sentence as Thommo. 72% TOG as a full time stoppage midfielder and he only just cracks double figures by picking up 2 late one's in the last couple of minutes. Deduct his 5 free kicks from his disposals and it's probably one of the worst games of football played by a full time mid in the last 20 years. Disgusting selection, disgusting performance and what's even worse is that he's a lock for next week. Now he's in, guess what? You can't drop Thommo, he's a warrior and he makes us better even when he can't run or get his hands on the ball. We got smashed in clearances which is why this liability was selected. But guaranteed, his name is penned in for at least a month whilst Greenwood gets to re-prove himself in the 2's.

I agree with everything you say and I even predicted him locking his spot in the side after this one, but I dont think even our selection panel could pull off such an outlandish move after that performance.

Or maybe we trot out the old "have to give him a decent run to get use to the pace of AFl" line.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Cameron out - Gooch in
Thommo out - Greenwood in
Milera out - Seedsman in

Mackay wasn't great but I think he stays

 

[CutAboveTheRest]

I'd take 12 of his touches of Mackay's 20.

Right there with you!

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Thompson will play in Darwin

Yeah, no.chance!

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Mackay won't be dropped. Greenwood for Thompson and Seedsman for Cameron.

Milera was way worse than DMac

 

[GameofSloanes]

There is no way thommo plays next week. Only 1 change thommo out for greenwood. They might rest milera for seed/gooch but i doubt it

 

[rocket18]

You blokes have no idea, thommo is in for good now - especially after a win.

It took awhile for him to make the side, he won't be going out anytime soon.

Thats how we roll at the Good Ole AFC.

 

[Ramify]

Yeah yeah

Will not happen and you can take that to the bank

Hahahaha

Have to agree.
As far as Dmac standard gos, that was a fair game.
No chance he gets dropped as he has survived many times playing far worse in losing teams.

Hint: They dont care about where his kicks go.

 

[Murray2503]

Out: Treacle toes never to be seen again (Thompson).
Otten/Milera

In: Anyone for thompson (Greenwood).
Doedee/Gallucci/Poholke

 

[GreyCrow]

'yeah Scotty had some rust to blow out and will be good to go next week'

 

[BigRed87]

Charlie needs a game in the magoos... is the Seed ready?

 

[rocket18]

I'm still shaking my head, our well paid professional coaches selected thommo.

How come most of us knew how shit he would be and they didn't?

Isn't this a massive concern?

We have the WRONG PEOPLE IN CHARGE OF OUR TEAM.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

No chance Thommo plays next week or again for that matter.

 

[Roovolution]

Thompson will play in Darwin

Sod off

 

[BigRed87]

Out: Treacle toes never to be seen again (thompson). Otten.
In: Anyone (Greenwood). Doedee

Serious? Otten was bloody solid tonight.

 

[Crom]

Out: Thompson
In: Greenwood

Rest of the team keep their spot

I don't much want to pile on a club legend like Thommo, but his game tonight was almost certainly the worst game a Crows player has had all year. It was sad to watch and I'm actually a bit pissed at the selectors for doing that to him. There is simply no way he can keep his spot after that performance.

 

[Ramify]

'yeah Scotty had some rust to blow out and will be good to go next week'

Dont even look at that as a metaphor in this instance.

 

[jenny61_99]

Out: Kelly, Thompson
In: greenwood, doedee

Kelly played very well tonight. Not sure what game you watched?

 

[rocket18]

No chance Thommo plays next week or again for that matter.

They picked him once, now they can say he will be better for the run.

With our coaches how could you possibly say he won't play.
