Gift Thompson a game rather than reward SANFL form? We had a number of guys put in strong performances today.

You don't gift games. Ever.

Classic Marty lol.

Thommo should get a lap of honor on week 1 of finals and that is the last time he should set foot on AO in Crows colours.

Surely people aren't mentioning Thompson again?

If Sloane rests then bring in Wigg, Galluci or Poholke.

Yep, lets see how they go vs Sydney midfield. Seeing one of those guys stand up in that game could give us some very nice depth for finals.

Indeed, I was one of the most critical if you recall.

So again I ask you, which player is struggling at the moment?

You're not serious?

Walker scans during the week. Player fell acrosd his leg in the opening minutes. Down race.

Sloane knee knock. Strapped up. Got through though obviously not at 100%.

They 'could' play I'm sure. Taped up, loaded uo with pain killers and after an ultra light week on the track. But it would be the dumbest move in our history to do so for a dead rubber.

You do realise players have precautionary scans all the time & are often cleared to play. My ex used to perform many of them.

So I ask you for the 3rd time, who is struggling like last year?

Sloane now, Tex looked proppy on a few occasions and Talia if we have a KPD ready to come in.

Keep the powder dry

Yeah I'm in the "absolutely rest anyone who's sore" camp. We've had some good performances in the SANFL today... let's give them a run in a high intensity game at AO next week to give them a taste of finals footy AND we get players like Sloane and Tex a chance to get their bodies right for the finals.
 
Keep Sydney out of top four
They are our only competition for the flag
Can rest v WCE or during bye or hopefully after the Qualifying final

I'm torn between these philosophies.

I just don't know if our club/players mature enough to just 'turn it off, turn it on'...so I'm thinking we just keep pressing hard, especially with the bye coming up.

No one rests for the sake of it BUT absolutely no chances to be taken...that's the balance.

If Sloane is proppy, he must not play. Ditto Tex. Not cos we are taking it easy though.
 
Yep, i'm normally with Kane, but you're missing the point here. It's ok to let our players freshen up. Not 5 as some have suggested. But 2 or 3

I'm happy to back Cameron in these 2 dead rubbers and see if he can find form. We may need his pace to break a final open

Rest Sloane, Walker and Betts this week

Talia can have a week off against WC (i trust his professionalism to have 2 weeks off for a rest and be right for a final) and Harto may be ok by then?

He's had one good week in about half a season.

Lol, your memory is failing if you think Betts has been poor for half a season!

I have mentioned numerous times I'm comfortable resting a couple of players if they are really sore... but resting 4 for the sake of it against the Swans is just stupid.

Eddie Betts at his best is the #1 small forward in the competition.

Eddie has been passable, but he hasn't been as good as he should be.

He has had an average month, but he has not had an average half of season!!!

Galluci is super fast as well.

I think we are so far down the Charlie path that we will stick with him but he has been seriously underwhelming (and I was one of his biggest and earliest fans)

Players in the SANFL who could play finals:

Seedsman, Milera, Galluci, Doedee plus the injured Hartigan, Otten, Hampton.

The interesting one is who plays if an inside mid misses?

You could add Menzel and Cheney to that and maybe Hampton even Wigg or beech

I've got faith in Menzel's talent but despite one good SANFL game I have lost faith in him for AFL in 2017.

Cheney would need to be phenomenal in the next couple weeks and is only back up but for a final the club may go for his experience so yep he should be added to the list.
