Unofficial Preview Changes vs GWS

[hey shorty]

Still surprised that Gallucci survived. He was ok in bits last week, but I’d have kept Greenwood in over him easily.

We need pace in the side, Gooch was very good last week.

 

[WetCrow1991]

No ****ing way on this earth Douglas puts up a better performance than Greenwood.

 

[Bicks]

Hey guys, just trying to wrap my head around the Greenwood decision. When we played you guys two weeks ago I thought he was your best (certainly your best mid), and whenever I catch Adelaide games I just see him ripping through packs to get the footy. I didn’t think he was poor last week by any stretch.

What am I missing here that they’d drop him?

Coaches didn't think so...

Polhoke bouncing in and out.
Gibbs bouncing in and out.
Mackay bouncing in and out.
Douglas has been mediocre, at best, for the last 12 months - why is he back in?

McHenry, Jones, Wilson all talked up and performing extremely well; barely get a look in.

There is no plan.

Considering Jones has played what, 6 of a possible 11 games that part isn't true. Wilson is also nothing more then a SANFL player.

McHenry however is very baffling, was a perfect opportunity to blood him for a few games.

Dropping an inside mid due to team balance.

I'd hardly say we've bounced Jones and Myles around either.

Gibbs needs help outside of footy and I'd say we are giving it to him.

Wilson is not an answer.

 

[Crow till I die]

If greenwood is out he should be given the weekend off to rest..no sanfl. Not surprised by douglas being brought in as he was very good last week and is a harder body to go against the gws mids. Shocked at gibbs as i thought he was a certainty to go to coniglio and shut him down. We now lack a real shutdown player this week

Jones has played more than he hasn't.

Weren't people complaining that we were going to run players into the ground? Greenwood was clearly tiring, it was a hot and exhausting game against the Demons and he's not the fittest bloke on the list, we have a 5 day break coming up, if he's back in next week then there's a clear reason for it.

 

[Elite Crow]

First off shocked about Jacobs, but it’s really only so he doesn’t have a 5 day break against Richmond.

Greenwood out, who would you prefer at full forward as our marking option, Murphy or Greenwood? But we need Murphy’s defensive pressure, he had one tackle and none inside 50.

Douglas in, its crucial we got a 32 year old back in the side, we couldn’t possibly give McHenry a go. What position is Douglas actually going to play? As a small forward? He sucks at that.

Gibbs out, so who is going to tag Coniglio when he’s smashing us?

Hartigan for Mackay, well that’s just a no brainer.

But overall our selectors are fickheads.

 

[King Elvis]

Something about people of ill repute turning up at the club I've heard

If he had these issues in the background, and we still traded for him...

****ing hell.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Absolutely bonkers that Murphy and even Atkins are still in, but Greenwood is out. Douglas doesn't deserve to play he is a deep fried spud at his age.

A contested ball player had to go, to counter Gws run. We brought m crouch back this week, so had to many in and unders. Plus last week Oliver tore him a new one, nearly cost us the game.

 

[maxlilly]

F: Greenwood, Fogarty, Stengle

HF: Wright, Himmelberg, Poholke

C: Davis, Wilson, McHenry

HB: Knight, Butts, Mackay

B: Hamill, Otten, Sholl



R: Jacobs, Gibbs, Jones

INT: Hunter, McAdam, McPherson, Merrett, Strachan

IN: Gibbs, Greenwood, Knight, Mackay

OUT: Douglas (AFL), Latchford

Just imagine how the Bloods players will feel rocking up Saturday afternoon to play this line up
I wouldn't be wearing any Crows gear to this match

 

[hey shorty]

Murphy is very lucky, would want a decent game this week.

 

[CutAboveTheRest]

Ok I'm melting..

What an absolute joke - How the **** does Atkins continue to hold his spot. They pick douglas over Gibbs and greenwood some how gets dropped as well?

Absolutely lost the ****ing plot this mob. Hope we get smashed by 100 points.

 

[MRB37]

If he had these issues in the background, and we still traded for him...

******* hell.

I'd say it reflects poorly on Carlton given they would have known of his issues and continually held the deal up.

 

[NCHammertime]

I simply cannot believe Atkins plays again. Pyke is an idiot.

 

[Golumless]

Reflects poorly on both parties.

 

[CutAboveTheRest]

Club loves to reward mediocrity.. flogs

 

[Geoffa32]

Anyway Gibbs situation aside, I can't believe Greenwood is out.

****en ridiculous against the big bodied GWS midfield.

[maxlilly]

He owes Pyke 100k

And the club a lot more

 

[dplggr47]

Why has Greenwood been dropped? I thought he had a really good second half last week and helped get us back in the game.

 

[Scorpus]

I don't get the decision making behind backing in Jones earlier but now selecting Douglas.

Are we developing youth or selecting senior players in a desperate attempt to make finals?

The flip flop is just strange

Hartigan for Mackay, well that’s just a no brainer.

Greenwood gives us one too many inside bulls, he was the most out of form so he goes out. Plus I reckon he was gassed after last week like a lot of them.

Reckon he's a monty for next week.

 

[Murray2503]

Why draft Mchenry then not play him when in form. Same goes for Stengle. Same goes for Fogarty. Seriously can't understand how Murphy keeps his spot when he has no impact the last couple of weeks. Such an average player. Greenwood should have played. He is the only one who can take a contested mark.

 

[WetCrow1991]

If you are resting Greenwood due to 5 fzy break to Richmond game, why Douglas? Sacrificial lamb? Nah, he is probably going to stay in the side for the rest of the year. Keen to see him take out a team mate and fumble constantly.

Don't forget the slip and slide.

Valuable games into a 32 year old flanker.
