[Carbine Chaos]

I like it besides Strijk out and Ebert in.

Would have liked to give Strijka a second dip at the sub.

But maybe he will be better served with a full game in the WAFL.

If Stevens hadn't played on Monday, he'd have been in. I'm sure of it.

 

[Mattman93]

Swifty

 

[weagles_fan]

Would've rather kept Strijk in and given Ebert more time in WAFL. One good performance and he gets straight back in after other players perform at a high level for week after week and don't get in. Doesn't seem very fair for me.

 

[DrTomSwift]

Swifty

Was terrible.

 

[Bender_]

**** yeah Butler!

 

[ziad]

Swifty

In the end he is playing professional sport. He was given a game and didn't deliver so he can not have hard fealings.

This is a must win away for us. It is aline in the sand game for the Crows so it is reasonable we take our strongest most experienced team.

 

[robbo wisdom]

anyone know who the emergency is? going to assume swift is as he would be good cover for kerr....

 

[WCEbrody]

**** yeah butler!

**** yes!

Feel so much more confident with Butler in our side

 

[Prem87]

Emac will be playing in the Foxtel Cup game on the Gold Coast.

If Kerr doesn't play Swift will!

 

[Juddy88]

Yeah Swift was awful last week. Thank god Butler is back in. Made too many mistakes in the back half (Smith) so hopefully he helps that.

Strijk didn't really get a go but Woosh obviously prefers Ebert.

[Suma Magic]

Sub predictions/preferences?!?

I'd like Ebert to sub, maybe Shuey or Kerr if they're a bit sore.

I reckon Masten will sub though.

 

[Mattman93]

Was terrible.

Firstly, I disagree.

Secondly, the issue I have is that Ebert, for example, has been played consistently despite some very, very poor patches of football, gets dropped and plays one good game, then is straight back in the side. Pretty much the exact opposite of how Swift is treated by the selection committee.

 

[BradWCE]

Butler and Kerr are great ins but like others I don't get why Ebert is straight back in.

 

[Goldfish]

Agree in part. It is definitely a must win, but I think if a player is consistently averaging 30+ possessions in the WAFL, they should at least be given 2-3 games once brought in so they can adjust to the tempo and try to deliver.

I would hope the same be shown to all players, Stevens etc. One game in and then dropped doesn't sit well with me (Weedon, Strijk, Swift etc) as it doesn't give kids a decent chance to prove themselves.

Probably says a lot about how hard Ebert works on the track and is respected around the club, rather than work on a horrible hair-style for months and cough the ball up in the WAFL.

So basically you're suggesting Swift isn't getting games because the club doesn't like his haircut?

 

[Ochre]

That and the club doesnt like playing players with poor disposal, which is why he was replaced by Ebert

 

[WCE Ebert #18]

perfect!

get kerr and butler back in ASAP because they're definitly best 22.

Then strijk didn't perform to the standard that would have been expected (i know, its harsh cause he only played a quarter and a bit) but with good depth and pressure in the WAFL this year that is the cut-throat nature to be expected (which is good as it lifts expectations).

Ebert played well enough to earn his spot back and im sure as others have mentioned koby would of been given a run had he not played monday (thats what helped ebert)

Also seems good to give makenzie a run or two in the WAFL before getting him back in for match fitness, to get his touch back etc (and considering schofield is playing well enough now on the talls i think its a good thing to do).

With the coaches weighing all this up, i am very happy with the changes they have made this week

Team looks very good!

anyway thats my take on it

 

[sTeeL]

That's what you read from his post??? Lol

 

[vWestCoast]

Absolute rubbish with Ebert, a player will never learn if they get straight back in after 1 good game in WAFL.

It's bullshit, players like Stevens, who I know couldn't play this week as of the 5 day break but even before that has been giving his all and getting results hasn't even had a shot yet. Same with Weedon and Swift.

Imagine McGinnity will play on either Dangerfield or Thompson, with A.Selwood taking the other. Hope Scooter actually gets a game to show his attacking side of football, quite unlikely however.

We just need to accept that with our coaching staff, as improved as they are, we are going to have to get used to Adam Selwood and Brad Ebert being in the side pretty much unless they get injured.
