Preview Changes vs GWS

[spexau]

So Grigg has been dropped and Lynch replaces Martin in the 22.

We have a long way to go before we win another final. Way to go crows.

He wasn't dropped, he hasn't made it back in since his injury.

 

[fabs33]

So why are we playing with only 20 this week, Vader?

You assured me that Petrenko and Jaensch would never play another game for the Crows at the end of 2013?

Petrenko's disguise, i.e. mustache, tricked the selectors.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Named on the wing for the reserves.

 

[spexau]

Named on the wing for the reserves.

Right, but he wasn't dropped from the senior side. I'd love him back though, just sayin

You have to respect the pecking order. It is written in stone and passed down to us atop mount Sinai .

The pecking order is written as it shall be done in heaven as it is on earth.

Right oh - I guess that's the same as Reilly getting dropped last year without actually playing a game in the reserves.

Their has been some very interesting interpretations of getting dropped and not getting dropped over the past few days.

 

[Allefgib]

Pretty much as expected.
Be curious if anyone is aware of what grigg had been told to work on. Must be something.

Lynch the sub and to get the second half to run himself ragged?

 

[lincsPJ]

Named on the wing for the reserves.

He was named on the wing for the reserves last week as well despite having zero chance of playing.

 

[huludicidal]

I think that's the lineup most of us expected to see, the sub at our club seems to be last player in one week, first out the next. Will be interesting to see who gets selected as sub on Sunday.

Will clearly be Laird unless there's a late change IMO.

Chase and don't kick goals.

We don't like kicking goals at the crows.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

So why don't they just name him as an injury out?

Oh yeah, those stupid games they just love playing.

 

[1970crow]

Not correct. Nobes said he was right to go last week but they went with Martin for extra pace.

 

[fabs33]

Will clearly be Laird unless there's a late change IMO.

I think there is a good chance of it happening, until he builds up the fitness he lost by missing much of the preseason he'll be a sub candidate.

 

[huludicidal]

Be curious if anyone is aware of what grigg had been told to work on.

An educated guess based on what I've seen from him so far this season would be his defensive running and his decision making in contested situations. His handballing has been very poor.

His kicking when given space is so good that it tends to mask the other glaring deficiencies in his game. He'll be back in a couple of weeks I'd suggest. Far too talented to rot away in the SANFL for long.

 

[Tex200]

Reasonable looking side - defence looks settled, hopefully Reilly will find something to keep him occupied and stay out of the way.

Fingers crossed Otten gets through and pushes for selection next week.

Reserves suddenly look a fair bit stronger this week.

We learns slow down at the afc. If Reilly has a good game, he'll be hard to dislodge regardless of how crap he goes against good teams. Last year already wiped from the memory. Having said that, the bench is in player number order and hopefully he's the sub.

Yeah Malceski belted him offensively against SYD - defs needs to work on that

 

[Hank93]

Grigg was only averaging 15 disposals per game, one of the reasons he may have been dropped.

Hallowed be thy pecking order

Amen

 

[Ravenous Crow]

I wouldn't care if he averaged under 10 so long as he was kicking a few goals per game and setting up some of our only 'good' forward entries.

 

[Golumless]

Yeah, i have to concur, i reckon Grigg has been dropped so he can work on some deficiencies. No way he's on the outer with Sando right now, being one of our better players these last few weeks.

Reilly is sub i reckon looking at that with the dreaded ultimatium Perform or be playing for the reserves for the foreseeable future. Can all but rule out Crouchy (too good of a game last week), Laird (give too much flexibility) and Lynch is pretty much a starter all day every day.

 

[NTRabbit]

Matt Crouch is the last name on the bench, ergo Matt Crouch is the sub. That's the way our team sheets work.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Disappointing if Crouch Jn is the sub.

 

[Vader]

You assured me that Petrenko and Jaensch would never play another game for the Crows at the end of 2013?

Do you never tire of trolling/baiting me? You really are a sad & pathetic little individual.

 

[Golumless]

I think 2-3 weeks in the SANFL could do him a world of good, just needs a bit more work with defensive pressure and get some leather poisoning. Come the end of the day, Grigg averaging 17-25 possies a game is going to go a long way to us getting a premiership.
