Changes v Crows

[KC17]

Why the **** are we dropping Ibbo

Because he was horrible last week (and hasn't had a great year, let's be honest). Agree though, I'm looking forward to seeing what Ryan Burton can do. Had massive wraps on him last year before the leg break wasn't it?

Yeah same. I thought we had exclusive rights on recruiting injured players last off-season but Burton didn't follow the script.

With Mora it's clear with his inherent job opportunity they may not want to give us the 'fairytale' return at the end of the season if they've made their minds up he's going. There was just a chance that in leaving the door slightly ajar for him to make an impact - but they've all made there minds up it looks like.

If that's the case, then surely Mzungu is gone according to those behind doors. But still he gets a game ahead of Mora? Find that perplexing. Suttclife had one week out, hardly 'lesson learnt' in that case. But if Suttclife, Suban, Mzungu, D. Pearce with Sheridan all play, will give the 1 goal record a run for its money . Will have more Out on the full then points (D. Pearce) with 5+ holding the ball (Suban..).

Think it's a bad look at 2017 if Ross is really doing that. Doesn't exactly gives us optimism this week that's for sure. At most there should be 3 changes- but given Ross' form don't be surprised if Hughes and/or Tucker get the chop too..

 

[electricfeel]

Have never felt so uninspired seeing those changes. I don't even know what day our game is that's how little I care right now.

 

[TheMcManusNose]

Frankly i'll wait for next weeks ins before wringing my hands over Morabito. And even then i'll wait until after Peel's finals campaign is over before I melt over it.

I thought Ibbo had his best game for a long time against west coast.

Nah, not last week, the week before I'd say that. Having said that, I also thought his game against WC was OK. I think I posted it somewhere, it wasn't great, but it was better than earlier in the year when it just looked like he had no idea at all. Clearly he's not doing something that Ross has been asking of him. I don't think it's those couple of fumbles. If that were the case, we'd be running out with 5 listed players and the water crew ... I'm pretty sure I've not seen them fumble this year yet.

It just so happens, one of my clients knows Ibbo well. He told me Ibbos mrs reckons Ross really gets up him at training.

Hard to work out what's going on between Ross and a few players, Ibbo being one of them. Ross obviously rates him based on past comments and the quality that Ibbo has given us in our better years. Seems that Ibbo is being asked to play differently and he just can't get his head around it ... not sure.

 

[Righteo]

No Ibbo or Croz so Sutty will come straight back in without having played a WAFL game. What the actual **** is the point of that?!

The water crew isn't that big at Freo so we would have to forfeit the game.

Don't mean to bother you guys, can see the angst over selections. But surely Jacobs out, The Unit in for you, gives you first use. O'Brien's 2nd game ever. Sandi will be his rucking coach for 100 minutes I feel. I'm not as convinced as you guys that it will be as big a drubbing as you think it'll be. You're home too. If it's 20-30 points or slightly more, I won't be surprised. Not just saying that to fluff you up. Subi holds lots of ghostly memories for every non WA club.

 

[DannyTheDoorman]

Makes you question the b hill senario

Did you mean Benny Hill ?

Yeah, first use I think you're right. However our 2nd, 3rd and most other uses after that will go straight to one of your boys, OOF or will be a hand pass 1 meter away to a player who already has 2 Crows players on his back.

We've got Sandi (still still building from LTI mind you), Mundy and Neale and then that's it for any grunt in the middle. After that it's kids and and a whole bunch of players out of form or who's heads are already getting reading for the off season. On top of that they're being coached in a manner that is all about finding out what Player X can do playing in a role he's not done since U/12's at the local.

Thanks for the pump-up, but it wont even be close.

 

[Deathly]

Was Cameron Sutcliffe a typo?

 

[mike91]

Back to the Olympics, absolutely nothing to see here whatsoever.

They just couldn't resist pulling back the golden Suban and Sutcliffe - and no Mora in sight.

Seriously.

Lots of people will bite me for this, but we have the softest selection panel in the game and it's lead by our coach. Ross Lyon, great coach, but as for season 2016, I honestly believe the worst coach of 2016.

Mate.......this isn't 2015, you could send a SANFL team over and beat us.

 

[kingswood71]

I'd say it will be 20 or 30 points (or more) 5 minutes in
We have about as much chance of winning as Donald Trump has of winning next years Nobel Peace Prize.

 

[electricfeel]

There you go, didn't even realise this game was at home...lol

Haha it's going to be a 10 goals plus drubbing. Crows are a force on every line, very impressive unit and are my tip to be there on GF day. Hopefully your good run with injuries continue throughout the finals.

 

[Ressies runner]

Did you mean Benny Hill ?

And ...... que the music

 

[PurpleGreenRed]

We're $8 to win! And the lines 44.5 pts. The bookies are rarely wrong ...and when they are they are VERY rarely that wrong!

 

[PurpleGreenRed]

And they've got Tex, Lynch, Betts and Jenkins
We've got Collins, Silvagni, Spurr and Sutcliffe.

Should be a fascinating contest.

 

[Ragtooth]

Ibbo back in guys and Muz out don't stress

Is it bad that we're hoping he doesn't get through training

Blakley back in?

Finally good news for Balic

 

[Palmervich]

Can't see how to post new threads on the iPad, so here it will have to be. I have 5 tickets (2 adult, 3 children) that I can email you for Sunday's game. I have torn my calf and can't do the stairs, so have bought tickets at ground level. Block 416 in the nose bleeds. Pm me if your interested! (No Cost)
