Preview Changes: Round 4 v Essendon

[VictorianCrow85]

Too early to say, depends if Cameron gets a week suspension or if JJ is an option. Not worried really, think we've got enough depth and a good overall balance now with some real speed while maintaining size to field a good enough mix to take care of business.

In: Crouch, Jenkins, Menzel

Out: Mackay, McGovern, Milera

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Can't drop Milera after one average game. A 19 year old in his second season is expected inconsistency here and there and we need to keep him in for his development. If he has a string of poor performances, sure, we can drop him then but for now he stays. Jenkins for Gov is one change and possibly Menzel for Cameron if he gets a week.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Had a look at the Cameron incident again. He'll get a week for sure.

In: Jenkins, Menzel
Out: Gov, Cameron

Chest first might limit it to a fine

Crouch 29 Disposals so far in the SANFL think he's a sneaky chance?

Crouch can rack up disposals... never been in question. How effective has he been with them? How does he look on the burst? these are the questions coaches will ask.

I think if Cameron is suspended a quicker call up will be more likely for him though.

There is no point wasting a jet in the SANFL more than you have to. If Cameron gets a week maybe Brouch gets in a bit quicker.

 

[LittleCrowBoy]

Can't see Jenkins playing. If he does, unfortunately Otten will have to make way.

Walker, Jenkins, Lynch and Otten wouldn't be a great forward setup

Otten named in the best....???? ....."team balance bull sh#t " ....I'm so over Crows supporters that belong in the Neil Craig era of "the formula" ...how about we just play smart, in form footballers ??? ...and Otten is one of the first picked in that case!!!!

Team balance is a necessity unless you've just started watching football 5 minutes ago. You've stated this a few times now, best you stop calling team balance bullshit if you want to be taken half serious.

Stop posting rubbish, has nothing to do with NC era.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Think we have learnt from last year not to rush him back.

Needs 2 games sanfl minimum.

It's a long season & we need him right.

 

[GROTTO]

Agree.

I would rather us nurse Brouch in the AFL against teams we should roll like Essendon, much like how we nursed 400kay for his first ~200 games.

 

[LittleCrowBoy]

Yeah Otten will never be dropped blah blah blah we all have heard it before.

Otten doesn't play McGovern's role, he was filling in for Jenkins, he was rightly replaced in defence by Lever, and he will make way for Jenkins when fit

I seriously think you "drop Otten for ...team balance " muppets need to put on a pair of oven mitts and head into Aldi for some self raising flour....cause you'll be baking Humble Pie when he helps us win the flag this year. Otten adds VITAL flexibility to our bench...can play forward or back...and adds composure and leadership amongst a young group. If he loses form...he gets dropped like anyone else....but he's getting better and better....so give it up you bunch of "paint by numbers" selectors , desperate to confirm your best 22 from January is right. Otten in form IS best 22 !!!!

Massive blow.

Next man up. Come on down Menzel.

 

[TGFC]

Otten's the best kick for goal in the team other than Betts.

He's also one of the smartest players we have.

Don't have a problem with throwing him back but you'd wanna have a ******* good reason to take him out of the forward line right now.

great option to have though

Otten wont be dropped.

We've got a much better ability to cover this loss than last year.

We've developed a lot of depth we didn't have 12 months ago.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

That really hurts. Gov is so important to us and replacing him with a completely different player in Menzel hurts even more.

Yep, Pyke will earn his money this season

 

[hey shorty]

He's pretty unique but you're right, we've shown already how we can vary things up.

Menzel is a different type of player but also gives us another midfield option.

 

[hey shorty]

Don't think it hurts us as a team as such, we just get a different look which is great. The one area if the field we have multiple high quality options

Actually...NO..it's not a necessity. 22 inform players is much MORE of a necessity !!! ...but whatever. Why reward good form? ...best drop it back to the SANFL for the gold pass club.

I'm guessing anyone you don't agree with is posting rubbish ???? ....I'm not posting team balance rubbish...but many are using it as a reason we should drop in form players...I'm calling it out for the RUBBISH Bullshit it is.

 

[ad victoriam]

My 2 cents, Base on today SANFL game.
McGovern for JJ - If JJ's not Fit then Menzel/Greenwood/Beech
Knight if not fit- B Crouch/Greenwood
CC if Suspended - B Crouch/Greenwood
Personally, because I was not Impressed with their game On Sat
MacKay - B Crouch/Greenwood. Reasoning MacKay has played 2/3 Quarters of good Football in 3 games
Milera 1 more week to prove himself.
Hampton earns himself 2+ more weeks played well on Sat would like to see him run more. And if the Crow drop Hampton we have short arsed midfield,
Again I will wait for Monday before I look any closer, ie injuries, any reports and to see how B Crouch pulls up after today's game.

 

[Shaz2012]

Out: Mackay, McGovern, Kelly
In: Crouch, Menzel, Greenwood

B: Brown Talia Lever
HB: Smith Hartigan Laird
C: Cameron M. Crouch Knight
HF: Douglas Walker Lynch
F: Betts Otten Menzel
R: Jacobs Sloane B. Crouch
I: Atkins Hampton Milera Greenwood

Have Otten and Hampton that can play back if needed.

Give JJ a rest. Get him game ready, plus a week. If he was only able to do light training until late last week, he needs at least another week off.
