Prediction Changes v GCs

[GROTTO]

Last night I would rather have had Gibbs go through the motions then some of the most pathetic displays I have seen from some of our players ever.

I genuinely believe we lost this game on Thursday night with our selections. Imagine if we had Gibbs, Greenwood, Fogarty and Stengle as the inclusions?

 

[Elite Crow]

Pyke is arrogant enough to realize we can roll the Suns at home without major changes.

By winning next Sunday he can then justify his selection and methods. A true Crow fan hopes we lose so that the list of changes that are needed to happen down at West Lakes may finally begin.

Beating the Suns is no given. They are well structured in defence and they are full of run.

 

[Scorpus]

I've watched many games in the opening 4 rounds and I can confidently say we are playing the worst football in the AFL.

I said a few weeks ago we will be flat out beating these four mediocre sides over the next few weeks. Nothing has changed that.

Gold Coast will be a very difficult match for us and right now I'd tip us to lose

Prediction

Dwayne ****ing Russell will be commentating this game and all game he will be saying

"Gold Coast have ..... never ..... beaten ..... the Crows ............ in their history - They might just make history today!!" atleast 15 times

Play like last night and the Saints will flog us

Ruck: O’Brien - B Crouch - M crouch

Interchange: Atkins - CEY - Scholl -

I know Pyke has said he would not make wholesale changes but enough is enough. Time for something different.

Thats actually a good team which arguably could have won last night.

Which means Pyke wont do it.

At a minimum we need 2 debutants. This week won’t be pleasant if we go in as normal.

We need to get excited. Scholl deserves a go.

 

[Morning_Fog]

Riley gets lost on the half forward line. He should be a ‘run with’ midfielder or try him in a back pocket. He is not a half forward.

 

[thebirdman 24]

do we really need a third tall defender in hartigan? i understand for the purposes of resting ruckman but he is being comprehensively beaten we may as well conceed and bring in a running small.

if we continue to let our forward thrusts begin with kelly, hartigan and talia we are screwed.

he is not an afl standard player really.

 

[Morning_Fog]

he is not an afl standard player really.

Well, he is. His performances in the past have proven this. He is just not a half forward.

 

[GROTTO]

For the Crows wholesale changes means 3 or more.

ROB will go out for Sauce and Gibbs for Jones.

Thursday night epic meltdowns loom.

We will lose or is it loose or lost. This is Big Footy and that word gets used interchangeably all the time.

He's not a run with player either, hes a vanilla small

 

[hey shorty]

We are all hurting but CEY was not our best mid last night he tried hard

He was for 3 quarters. I'll give Sloane a pass, he at least tried to lift.

 

[hey shorty]

I agree with the changes.

We know that Jones will be out due to concussion and Sauce in for ROB.

Thats how Pyke rolls.

It's sad we call all pick it.

FWIW I'd leave Jones out but I'm pretty cautious with concussion.

 

[Morning_Fog]

He's not a run with player either, hes a vanilla small

Let’s hope he can become multi flavored

 

[Scorpus]

Nice to see people coming around on Knight.

A few years ago I got hounded down for saying he wasn't AFL standard because he doesn't get enough of the ball and doesn't do enough with it.

Seems others are slowly discovering this reality. He is an extremely vanilla and highly replaceable player

You can bet McHenry would come in and immediately be better.

Sadly this is true.

Beating up on shit sides is about the worst thing that could happen at the moment. We need significant change and unfortunately at the AFC, the only way that happens is shit performance after shit performance, and every “win”, no matter how unconvincing resets this.

Unfortunately the “continuity” is strong at our football club...

Thing is that was meant to happen last night, it didn't.

The Suns are a better side currently than North. Eddie deserves a win for game 300, but will we give him one.

In: Sauce(FF), Gibbs, Gallucci, Wilson, Greenwood. +Fast footy.
Out: Jenkins, Mackay, Murphy, Jones, Poholke.
