Crows V Dees - Key Match-ups

[heartbeatstrue]

G'day Crows fans! Well what can I say? I never thought I would see the Dees ahead of the Crows on the ladder this season. It is a showdown this weekend so who will win their first game for the season? It will come down to the key match-ups.

Bate V Bock
Vince V Davey
Tippett V Rivers
Jamar V 3rd man up
Sylvia V Doughty (Sylvia will be laughing here)
Green V Doesn't matter
Frawley V Porplyzia
Walker V Garland

I am really looking forward to the game! Good luck!

 

[Macjoe]

Is this the face-off offering from the dees?

bates a ranga
Jamar is a glorified tarago
Sylvia is screwed if Thompson goes near him and informs him he has bigger guns
green isn't that great, just keep him away from goal.
Rivers is a spud.

It's the Tippett/rivers matchup that's the most imporant. I'm smelling a biiiig bag from tippo.

Who will go with Jamar seriously?
Green can't see a match-up for the Crows
Tippet has other things on his mind other than playing footy...Melbourne's young defence will just pick-off his leads and simply run off him and others all afternoon!

Jamar may well be tag teamed... Maric and mckernan. Mckernan may have enough hop to jump all over him; huge leap.

Tippett isn't a lead-reliant forward, more a one on one and pack mark player. Walker is the lead up forward. We will take care of green, but the crows have a long rich history of ignoring youngsters (barlow prime example) so I'm tipping scully to have a big one

I'd love to know too

Wonder if he has a "source".

 

[WALL-e]

What a strange thread.

 

[heartbeatstrue]

Same thing that is on Ablett's mind...GC could easily pay out his contract you know. You must admit it would be very tempting! My source is an ex-player who holidays regularly in my part of town.

So they'd pay out his 3 year contract, effectively killing their bargaining power for Ablett/Franklin/Roughead etc. and then they'd have to cough up their first four picks in the draft, which we're well within our rights to ask for because he's a CONTRACTED player.

It's not tempting at all, because when it all falls through (which it would) then he'd have to front up to the playing group having utterly disgraced himself by requesting the trade.

You're a stirrer, this will never happen.

They are gonna have to tape Rivers feet to Frawleys shoulders to have any sort of match up for Tippett. Tippos Supercoach breakeven is 180ish and he will get that with ease.

The Dees last week had heart and workrate which is a nice change, but their skills are just shocking. If you can not hit targets by hand or foot you can never win a game of footy because turnovers just kill you. Crows should win this by 15 goals.

Our skills last week weren't that flash either...

Yep and with wet weather expected, we can look forward to a blockbuster game like when we played them last year.

McLeod and Petrenko to run riot.

Yeah but Melbourne's skills (or lack of) are in a different league.

Yeah, was at the MCG last year watching your hero play a blinder.

Seriously though, if Grimes is allowed to run free from defence and we get the ball in the hands of Davey and Green we will be dangerous.

We are way down on height and this could be exploited or could work to our favour, especially if wet.

Seriously dude, he's only just signed a two year contract extension at the end of last season, amid massive speculation regarding his intensions, effectively locking him away until the end of the 2012 season. Why would he, only 6 months later, be reconsidering this?

GC could not easily pay out his contract because it is substantial and they can no longer pick him up as an uncontracted player, they'd have to trade for him and considering he wouldn't come out of contract for another 2 years, we'd hold all the bargaining chips, unlike the Ablett-Geelong scenario, where Ablett comes out of contract at the end of this year, allowing the GC to pick him up as one of their uncontracted players.

It would cost the GC massively in terms of both money and draft picks. Your ex-player has absolutely no idea, oh and neither do you.

Just ventured over the the Melbourne board, and I can see why this thread was started. A shit poster of ours, Wallace, started a pisstake thread on the matchups for this weekend (for example Vince vs Mclean). I wouldn't take anything seriously from a Melbourne supporter in this thread after the way Wallace acted on their board.
