Changes v Bombers

[Marine Boy]

Brown and Laird? Unbelievable.

Lairds man gets 31 disposals and 3 tackles and Laird gets 12 Disposals and 1 tackle. Add to that Laird can't kick a drop punt. If Jaensch, Reilly or Martin got those stats they would be shot on this site.

 

[spenze]

The only reason why either of these will be under the pump for Hendo is because Hendo adds yet another attacking option off HBF. Laird has a better offensive game than Brown but Brown is the better defender. Will be interesting to see how they fit Hendo in the team in a few weeks time.

They are both small defenders, why wouldn't they move Reilly out when Hendo is playing?

Laird a young player had a bad game, drop him

 

[ruscy002]

what?

I assume "long term" means over the next few weeks, in which case I agree with those changes (maybe Wright instead of Jenkins depending on opposition/structure).

Not to mention he is a courageous defender who is always reliable. Didn't his opponent get 12 junk time disposals in the last quarter?

 

[Crowbots are dead]

Martin was good I thought and actually had 2 more possessions than Matty crouch in just over a quarter. Imi bras cones in and his brother goes out. Martin deserves to stay in

If Cameron is available he will replace Martin

I'm not saying I'm advocating it. I'd prefer Hendo for Reilly but unless Reilly stinks it up in the next few weeks it may not happen.

 

[ruscy002]

One thing that really excites me is the prospect of Walker and Lynch being in the same team. They've only played five games together, their collective workrate could cause some major headaches for our opponents.

 

[Kickin_Goals]

As said above Hendo to get another week in the 2's and then Reilly for Henderson.

Out: Martin
In: B Crouch

Real shame we don't another even competent tall forward option as Jenkins was deplorable last night.

So uhh who is the leading goal kicker for Adelaide.

Real shame some of the garbage you say.
Jenkins will beat any opponent he gets over 40 metres, He'd be top of the goal ladder in a decent forward entry team.

 

[Jars458]

what?

He's not best 22 when our squad is fully fit. IMO.

 

[FR0GGY]

He's not best 22 when our squad is fully fit. IMO.

I assume you mean currently? If so thats correct, but surely he would have to be in our long term plans, otherwise we have wasted a pick.

 

[mattymac]

Play Hendo, try and get him up to speed for the Showdown. Crouch, Cameron and Henderson strong ins.

Martin, Reilly and M Crouch obvious outs. Wright sub.

 

[Scrotes2000]

Just seen Cameron didn't play because of a groin injury? I don't know how long he's out for soooooo I didn't take him into consideration for either games coming back?

Don't think it's anything serious. He should be good to go.

 

[1990crow]

Depends whether B.Crouch is injured..

In: B.Crouch, Cameron
Out: M.Crouch, Martin

 

[Jack is Back]

Outs M Crouch, B Martin

In B Crouch, C Cameron

L Brown or R Laird have an extra week to convince the coaching staff to stay in the 22 when Hendo comes back.

Are you tryin to convince us that you are one of our coaching staff? Unbelievably clueless.

Would you like me to pm you to explain their roles?

 

[Tex200]

For what it's worth Noble on radio this morning saying B Crouch needs more time in 2's + he is on report.

I'm tipping unchanged unless Charlie comes up.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Pending on Brad Crouch's suspension/injury...

In: B. Crouch, Cameron
Out: Martin, M. Crouch

I'd prefer to drop Wright personally but this is how I can see it panning out.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Brad crouch was reported yesterday, he had a very good first half but fell out of the game after half time. Just before half tine he appeared to injure his leg but he did play the entire game out.

So, not sure if his fitness was an issue that caused him to drop out of the game, the knock played a part in how he went or the report played with his head.

Brad crouch isn't AFL ready.

Henderson needs another 2 SANFL games before getting AFL selection.

Cameron has a groin injury, but not sure how severe it is. He could be back this week but I don't know.

Unchanged in my opinion.

 

[Mego Red]

Imi bras cones

That'd be a good name for a drag queen.

 

[Jars458]

I assume you mean currently? If so thats correct, but surely he would have to be in our long term plans, otherwise we have wasted a pick.

Yep, sorry meant longer term this year, ie a month away, if the finals are possible.

 

[Paladin]

Wright was a beast last night very smart and tough footballer. Showed how much we missed him v Freo. Best 22 in my eyes.

In B.Crouch (report pending), Cameron (if fit)

Out M.Crouch, Martin

Hendo for Reilly the week after. Truck looked sharp, happy for him to play if he brings that level of performance. Hartigan could be an option on the Etihad deck however.

 

[Mike Smyth]

I'd keep B Crouch out for one more week, he has missed a lot of football this year.

Can't believe the call for Laird and Brown to be on notice, in saying that though, I was chatting to a Crows supporter who was bemoaning how we were travelling and then said " that bloody 24, what's his name, he has to go, we should delist him". I did clarify just in case she meant 23 and not 24 but she was adamant the guy in AA contention...delist him FFS.

To me, I'd only go the one change, Charlie in for Martin. Feel a bit sorry for Marto as he could have had a huge run last night and scored 3 if not 4 goals but his time is almost up. I'd like to see Lyons get a go in the guts all game like BOB was afforded all last night but I guess we'll have to wait til next year to see how he goes in the midfield.

Agree. Thought Brown was good last night. Laird was well beaten but he has a good year to date.

Welcome to the board.....

EDIT: Woops just realized you've been posting since 2005, sorry haven't noticed you before.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Long term, b crouch, Hendo, Cameron and lynch for M Crouch, Martin Reilly and Jenkins."

Jj needed as 2nd ruck.

Same changes except cc fighting it with Wright for last spot.
