[Bicks]

Just our luck Dayne Beams comes up and plays....genuine gun!

We shouldn't be having issues beating Brisbane with or without Beams and Rockliff.

 

[Bicks]

Honestly does anyone actually think that Greenwood will get the nod over Thompson ?

It is the Crows that we are talking about here

I do if one is to be selected...I think a lot are misjudging Pykey's footy I.Q. suggesting Thommo gets a call up....And I'll join that throng if Thommo plays.

Dayne Beams>>>>>>Zorko>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rockliff

These ruck and clearance stats have me completely rethinking the game. Why even play a ruckman?

You've got me thinking. Why not kill two birds with one stone: drop Sauce and make Sloane take the taps. He always liked going third up.
That would really confuse the oppo and tagger.

Actually that's a good idea, because you can't block the ruckman in the ruck contest, even if the ruckman elects not to jump.

So whenever Sloane is getting tagged, he should go into the ruck and shark directly off the opposition

I think, to avoid making the same mistakes as last year, omit all the injured players. Get them right first, then you can deal with the form. Although Mackay should be dropped even if he is the only fit squad member to choose from.... his game last week is symptomatic of the crows leaders in big games.
This week;
Out: Jenkins, Cameron, Menzel, Betts, Mackay.
In: Knight, Lever, Wigg, Greenwood and Galluci

Once you have weeded out the players that need time on the sidelines, then you can target the out of form players. Play Otten forward, Lever back, Wigg off half back. Greenwood, Galluci and Knight all rotate through the forward, mid, wing roles. With Jenkins and his pitiful efforts out, suddenly our team has some balance again. No surprise that we bring in a underdone and soft JJ, and our team defence goes the way of the dodo bird.

Obviously only one of these changes may happen, its the AFC after all (Always F***ing Cautious).

Knight is injured worse than Menzel.

 

[RodnyDangrfield]

Knight is injured worse than Menzel.

In that case sub knight for polholke...why not.

 

[BRL121]

...of role.

His first 6 weeks were exceptional in a defensive sense. Good composure in the front half as well.

Give him a shot in Menzel's position.

The only "open play" I've seen from him was the two goals he kicked from the HFF early in one game. They looked good: what position was he actually playing in that match?

 

[BRL121]

Let Sloane tag and thump Beams if he's in: let's be proactive, instead of (non)reactive.

If they bring in thommo I'll definitely be in the "all hope is lost" group. Its seems to be the perfect time to tryout someone like greenwood. My faith is already pretty low for the club staff after pyke said they wouldnt play injured or underdone players and then proceeded to do exactly that (again!).

Don't think I can forgive Atkins for the last two weeks.

I think dropping him will do him the world of good and realign his priorities.

Without a doubt getting ahead of himself

Much of the team are in the same position after the last 2 weeks performances.

True, something about Atkins over the last two weeks has really irked me though

Is JJ still injured or just playing crap

Finding confidence after injury, so playing crap.

Toss up between him & resting Hartigan.

Jenkins, Betts and possibly Lynch and B Crouch all out as well under that criteria

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Thompson is playing

Get used to it

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Can't leave them all out, though could bring in Beech, Polholke & Dear. Edit forgot Wigg.

Just need to rest those players really struggling with injury.

Imo, Jenkins & Brouch are more underdone than injured.

Lynch played concussed last week as could not hit a target. Hopefully ok this week.

May be a good week to rest Betts to fix his niggle.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Sanfl is only good practice for inside mids. Outside players, backs and forwards get little development in the sanfl IMO.

Exactly why it's worth seeing if Wigg sinks or swims at next level otherwise we'll never know

Ditto Greenwood in a way

Some guys just jump a level at the next level . Darcy B Jones prime example at port never set world on fire until he played AFL

You need to have some sort of form at sanfl , not necessarily dominant. It something

Dear has showed nothing this season , can't play him and don't need to anyway

Riley O'Brien has shown more up forward this season than Harry Dear.
