Unofficial Preview Changes vs GWS

[Bicks]

Greenwood out surely has to mean rested. Has been one of our best midfielders this year.

Not sure about dougy in regardless of sanfl form. Was hoping we'd gone past that.

Mackay out excites me.

Gibbs out is just plain bizarre. Huge mystery since he rocked up last year.

Looks like Kelly is now entrenched in our 22 if he's still getting a game.

Pretty uninspiring but I didn't expect a lot. We're in pretty good shape health wise. Now we just need to learn how to play footy again.

[GROTTO]

Greenwood should be in the team. To me he offers an x factor that bassically no one else in the team does.

 

[Smoooothy]

I see your point mate, but I also don't care about Carlton.

There were rumours about his personal issues - if they AFC weren't aware of them, it is pathetic; if they were aware of them, and still made the trade they did, then they're incompetent and stupid.

We probably bet our culture was strong enough for his problems to go away. We were wrong. Badly wrong

I don’t get our changes.
Never change Adelaide, never change.

If you think Gibbs is being dropped on form then you need to listen more.

But we keep selecting him and if the issue is genuine it’s not new.

Some random comments on this board, Pyke is picking his best 22 based on balance and form, pretty simple. It's half way through the season, we need best 22 to have a tilt. Having said that, crows are not a form team, and if our best 22 can't win at home, we need to consider an 18 month plan.

Well at least Dmac is out.

He will probably play the next away game.

Dont be stupid... mookay will be a late in for sloane... campo will convince everyone its a “like for like” replacement.. you know... same, same, but different!

Mackay will find a way.

 

[Elite Crow]

I must have missed where Hugh dominated up forward this year. I think he’s best 22 most of the year, but his form has been just ok. I can’t imagine he will be out for long anyway.

You also missed the part where Douglas has dominated up forward ever. But I’m sure you’ve seen the times when Greenwood takes a mark up forward. How about Douglas?

 

[LoBu]

If you think Gibbs is being dropped on form then you need to listen more.

But he's being playing really badly...

Me when I read that Sauce and Mackay didn't make the team but Douglas did.....

You’re a monkey?

 

[Crowbots are dead]

It's not an easy position to be in. I'm sure Gibbs told everyone all the right things, but addictions are pricks of a thing. You can get them under control, maybe he did have it under control and just like that you can slip and you're back in it.

Is this for real? What’s his addiction to?

[Crowboto]

Pyke must like wa

Absolute stupidity

Yeh i agree. Doesnt make a lot of sense.

Ratkins quoted in the paper as saying he lost 6 during the game... went from 86kg prior to 80kg post

Thats from all the times he pooed his pants in the last quarter.

 

[Murray2503]

I'm not upset about these changes.

Douglas is a better player than people are giving him credit for.

Happy that ROB stays in as our 4th youngest player !!

I think Jones is unlucky to be out of the 22 ... but he is a first year player, so we can pick and choose a bit which games to blood him. McHenry will get his chance, as will Stengle.

Fogarty we are all so impatient about because of his upside ... but the guy is still 19 years old

Looking at our 22 for this week:

I can see our chasing speed being an issue, but if we let the GWS boys run at us we are dead anyway.

Would have to be the oldest team running around in the afl this weekend?

[GROTTO]

Mackay will find a way.

Thats the bloody spirit I like to see in here.

 

[LoBu]

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 ******* plot this mob. Hope we get smashed by 100 points.

Never change? Selection this year is completely different to every other year. Whether it's a good change I'm not sure

The politically correct term is the most mature team.

Trust me this will be more exciting than gameday.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I reckon itll just mean Douglas in

Or both!
