Preview Changes round 9 vs West Coast Eagles

[Dewy006]

Watch us pick Jones, stick him in the Forward Pocket aka no mans land where he’ll proceed to get 6 touches and shatter any smidgen of confidence he’s built up in the last couple of weeks.

 

[Billyblanks]

Out
Himmelberg
McHenry
Murphy

In
Murray
Hately
McPherson (sub)

Need to drop a tall forward for a tall defender for balance.

I would be playing Sloane more half forward due to a small out injured. With Fog increased role up forward, another mid would be picked.

Then McPherson was the sub. I would play him on the wing or even periods in the guts.

O’Connor and Jones miss out and let them back up another good performance in the SANFL.

McPherson was shocking send him to the sanfl. Poor effort

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Out:
Berg
Murph
Ned
Hamill (wasn’t ready)

in:
McAsey
Hately
Jones
Worrell

 

[Magma]

mcasey a must. dont care how he goes in the twos, a lot of key players struggle to impose themselves in the sanfl. doedee cannot continue as our 2nd kpd. obviously mchenry and murphy go out, mcadam probably comes straight back in, probably debut newchurch too. chuck in ronin and worrall as well. hately put up good numbers.

out: murphy, mchenry, mackay, himmelberg, mcpherson
in: mcadam, newchurch, worrall, mcasey, hately

 

[1990crow]

Out: Murphy (inj), McHenry (inj), Himmelburg, Mackay, Kelly
In: Jones, Worrell, O’Connor, Hately, McAsey

Brown Butts McAsey
Hamill Worrell Smith
Sholl Keays Seedsman
O’Brien Sloane Laird
Oconnor Walker Berry
Rowe Thilthorpe Fogarty
Jones Hately McPherson
Schoenberg







Mackay and Kelly are simply stalling our rebuild. Get out.

 

[Scorpus]

How can we not get Josh Worrell in this team. Our defense is a shambles.

Don't get me started on how Jake Kelly is messing up our structure

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic with who is available in our squad.

We will get smashed by West Coast in Perth so it doesn't even matter

Need a Covid lock down post-haste

 

[Danger Zone]

Barring any other injuries, the outs should be obvious:
McHenry (inj)
Murphy (inj)
Himmelberg
Mackay (moved to sub)
McPherson (dropped as sub)

The ins are more difficult. I like Jones but he desperately needs time in the SANFL to get some confidence in a new role. McAdam cannot be brought straight back in. I would go with:
Hately
Worrell
McAsey or Murray
O'Connor

Cupboard is starting to get pretty bare.

 

[Deaneus!]

Deaneus! about to smash a Gelatissimo 1L serve, Rum and Raisin, Pistachio, Salted Macadamia.

I thought enjoy it now before the Crows give me stomach aches tonight.

no I cant taste anything anymore

We will get smashed by West Coast in Perth so it doesn't even matter

curiously, odds pay better for a small WCE victory better than a large one

 

[Bearded Clam]

out:

himmelberg - forever.. missing basic goals just saps a teams momentum. and hes just shit.
mookay - forever.. seriously, its bizarre hes still getting games
mcpherson - confidence is completely shot.. heck off back to the sanfl and find it
murph (inj)
mchenry (inj)
TT - was clearly sore and limping.. glad to see him play out the game but heck taking any risks if he isnt 100%.

in:

worrell
hately
jones
oconnor
and A couple of others.. i really dont care who.

 

[Crows I Am]

Murphy and Ned are the obvious outs, I think Berg and Mackay should also come out.

No idea who we bring in to play the small forward role, would be tough on Jones to switch him up again as he is starting to find some good form at half back. Will be interesting to see if we bring Macadam straight back in.

Worell or Mcasey need to come in, we need another tall against the Eagles tall forwards, we will probably bring in Murray though.

 

[Kezza86]

McPherson was shocking send him to the sanfl. Poor effort

He was not that bad tonight. McKay, Himmelberg, Berry had a worst game than him tonight. He probably didn’t come on until near quarter time.

 

[GROTTO]

no I cant taste anything anymore

Sorry to heat that.

-------

Odds reflect that if you take the Crows handicap, they can win or lose by up to +38.5

If you back the Eagles to win by a small margin, obviously the Crows cant win, so better odds, I am surprised though by how much better.

 

[Deaneus!]

changes

McHenry -> Hately
Murphy -> O’Connor
McPherson -> Jones
Himmelberg -> McAsey
Hamill -> Worrell

Mackay dropped to sub

Maybe it's Ronin's time being a WA lad?

Why not?

Berry permanent forward, someone that can stick a tackle and delivers high pressure. O'Connor preferably or Hately into the midfield mix,

 

[Crow till I die]

I think himmelberg is better off out the side. A guy that could not take a contested mark all day then butchers his fairly regulation shot from 30 out on a 45 degree angle. What is the point in having a guy that simply cant mark 1 grab. Better teams dont give you that second grab at it.

Really really worried about tex now. Can barely run and is getting caught way behind his man. Give him 1 more week and tell him if he gets run off of and is caught behind again like he did tonight then he will be back at SANFL.

Mcpherson looks miles off his better form and needs a few games back at SANFL. To try and recapture it.

Coming in the other way. Jones. Earnt his chance and we are down some quick smalls

Worrell. Just has to come in

Mcasey. Give him a block of games now

 

[Mutineer]

mcasey a must. dont care how he goes in the twos, a lot of key players struggle to impose themselves in the sanfl. doedee cannot continue as our 2nd kpd. obviously mchenry and murphy go out, mcadam probably comes straight back in, probably debut newchurch too. chuck in ronin and worrall as well. hately put up good numbers.

out: murphy, mchenry, mackay, himmelberg, mcpherson
in: mcadam, newchurch, worrall, mcasey, hately

The only one of those named players that was serviceable in the SANFL today was Hately, McAdam and Newchurch were woeful and that's being kind.

 

[Scorpus]

McHenry (concussion) → Crouch or Hately or O'Connor

Matt is listed as 1-2 weeks away. If he's fit, I'd probably play him. If not, then Hately or O'Connor in for McHenry

Murphy (ankle) → McAdam or Newchurch

Got no choice basically. Can't go into the game with only one genuine small forward

Mackay → Jones

Jones straight in to half back. Been good last two weeks, deserves a call up

Kelly → McAsey

Doedee getting smashed as a second KPD, Doedee should be in Kelly's role, the guy is a gun interceptor, stop playing him on 200cm players. Don't care how good Kelly plays week to week, the guy is not the future and is a basic role player. Get him out for a genuine KPD to help out Butts and Doedee. Alternatively we need to be playing Kelly (not Doedee) on the opposition's second best tall forward and let's be honest, that is not a long term solution.

Himmelberg → Worrell

Too tall up forward, too short down back. Worrell didn't play well in the SANFL but should have been in weeks ago. Has to play, and it's bullshit he isn't.

McPherson (sub) → Mackay (sub)

This one is obvious

Team

B Brown - Butts - Doedee
HB Hamill - McAsey - Smith
C Sholl - Laird - Seedsman
HF Fogarty - Walker - Keays
F Rowe - Thilthorpe - McAdam
R O'Brien - Sloane - Crouch

I Schoenberg - Berry - Jones - Worrell

 

[kulak]

Would be disappointing if Himmelberg was dropped. At least he is competing unlike ROB for example. He is the only forward who can force a contest when we kick down the line to a 1 on 2, which is our favoured game plan of course.

 

[kulak]

I don’t care too much about the changes other than ROB needs to be dropped. That was a disgraceful “effort”.

In an intense Showdown we needed those players capable of having a physical presence to impose themselves, and he just cruised around.

Put Strachan in the ruck, Himmelberg, who cares. Send a message time.

 

[Miss Vanessa]

Surely O’Brien has to be in the gun. He was worse than Himmelberg tonight, and has been comprehensively smashed most of the year now. Play one of Himmelberg or Frampton - both sub par choices I know - in the ruck and leave TT, Fog and Tex in the forward line. O’Brien was weapons grade stinky tonight, and we looked better without him every time he was benched. He can’t keep getting games putting in performances like that.

Snap.

We really needed ROB to help out our defence with only 1 tall defender.

Berg looked more useful in ruck.

Tempted to bring in Frampton for ROB & double team Nic Nat with Berg.

 

[Deaneus!]

Oh yeah that reminds me O’Brien was disgraceful

remember when we signed him early on for5 years and everyone was happy? He was ELITE
