Changes v Crows

[Seanybruz]

Schulz & Harts ruled out! Damn it, hit in the two areas we had an advantage in.

On the flip side of the bad news Howard is in to debut! Good luck Dougsy.

Excited for Howard. Hope just minor niggles for the boys but jay's back is a worry

With Howard coming in....this will give Westhoff and Trengove more freedom

Westhoff is gonna cause them many headaches.

More importantly a genuine option if Lobbe is getting smashed. Crows have nothing after Jacobs. If Howard/Trengove/Hoff can provide enough contest against Jacobs to allow our mids to set for a losing ruck, then it'd be tempting to let them take the bulk of the duties quarters 2 and 3 and allow Lobbe to try and jump fresh over Jacobs in the last.

Stoked for Doogs, but this really puts us under the pump

It sure does but when we get over the line it will make it even more sweeter

Hartlett, Schulz withdrawn with injury, Howard to debut
There's a lot of congratulations this week. Toumpas already in on the back of impressing the club in his Norwood game .
The club itself for not taking Schulz and Hartlett in under injury clouds, sensible .
Howard who has been knocking the door down like no-one for a while for us .
Youngy for the sort of cameo he's made for .
Darcy Byrne-Jones rewarded with an emergency spot on the back of a good pre-season.

Looking forward to seeing Howard, 6ch taller than Schulz, are they tryng to stretch Crows? (or managing Schulz) Also we got smashed early on outside run last week ( Toumpas) and Young can provide both run and mid grunt. Don't mind changes, Hartlett definitely injured, he was stuffed at the the end of the last quarter last week, I wouldn't mind betting they are being carful with Schulz - maybe all year, he is getting on....

Cheers - I steer clear of the paper so haven't seen that. Can't understand why it isn't provided in the AFL online stats.

Sorry missed this the other day, but probably the Super Footy fantasy pts vs AFL Dream team pts difference and demarcation. I think the AFL now own 49% of Champion Data (might be 51%) but there might be an exclusive long term contract with News Ltd papers re the info so that's why the AFl dont get access yet.

I would want to be a small forward this week playing for Port, because if we aren't bringing in the ball into our forward line with pin point passes, then we are going to see lots of pack crashing by Big Dix and Doogie. Doogie loves to fly and crash packs. There are going to be lots of ground ball to pick up by our small forwards - even plenty of ground ball with EYES.

And yet, this is one game that I can only bear to watch on replay. I am a nervous wreck.
