Preview R14: Changes vs. Hawthorn Hawks

[Kane McGoodwin]

If it was me and ignoring Peatling’s suspension;

Out
Tex - rest and mini-preseason, see you in 6-8 weeks.
Smith - impact player, provided nothing but freebie kick ins long and right. Butts could have done that. Embarrassing sub effort, probably the worst in club history.
Pedlar - conditions made for him. 65% TOG isn’t big, but it’s got to bring more than 3 possessions. Loved this kid early and thought we had a hard nosed, fast mid, but it’s nearly time for the red pen.

In
Dowling - half forward/wing/support mid.
Draper - mid/fwd
Edwards - sub

Actual
Out - Pedlar
In - Murphy or Draper
Sub - Smith

Smith was great in the last quarter. Played like a man on a mission charging at the contest which was clearly evident watching it live.
.
Your thoughts on him is the worst & most embarrassing post I have read today by a long way!

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I would challenge Peatling, but doubt the club will.

Sure, they guy that only actually earned a single possession in an area of the field that was full of opportunity was great. Mate, have a look beyond the stats, he was woeful. Most often metres behind the actual contestable opportunity. He did nothing apart from getting back to the goal square to take the kick in. He earned only a single disposal in a full quarter of football, despite being the 'fresh' player in that area. Stop looking at stats, it doesn't tell the story when a bloke has 6 kick ins from points and one from an out of bounds on the full attempt.

Don't think they'll drop Isaac, he was a defensive animal last night but didn't offer too much offensively for a change.

Unfortunately hate against older players gets in the way of good analysis.

Walker was the one who struggled last night. Kicked an important goal, but otherwise struggled.

I'm not convinced you watch games

I would look to manage him into the bye as had an interrupted preseason & imo needs a break.

Perfect time to debut Edwards & try Hinge &/or Milera off a wing.

Sub: Smith

If you want to retain Smith, then you can't possibly be wanting Tex rested. Didn't you notice the 2 good things he did amongst the 20 times he was involved in clear possession to his opponent? Smith also did nothing to reduce opposition positive movement, you can't have it both ways.

Go to bed mate, too much to drink today

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Clearly wasn't at the game, because everyone at the game could see Smith charged at the ball like a man possessed. Won crucial contests & provided much needed energy.

Calling it the worst sub effort of all time is a completely shit call as not even close to the truth & just unnecessary hate.

 

[1970crow]

I'm not convinced you watch games

You serious, I'm probably the only one that consistently does. Outside of kicking in from points, what do you reckon Smith did? This is a sub that came on and got a sum total of 1 possession. Tell me exactly what that's so good.

Double down to look like a complete fool if you must.

Everyone at the game knows your call is beyond stupid!

You're a bit of a rabble tonight

Think you need to leave it there

Suggest you watch the last quarter again & then come back to apologise for being clueless.

Tyler Brown is clearly the worst ever sub for the Crows

Of course I wasn't at the game. From the game, you have a very limited view. You should realise that unless you're referring to overall movements, the TV provides a much better view of individual's input when it mattes.

Certainly up there.

We even had a injured sub.

Calling a good last quarter by Smith as worst ever is just pure hatred & idiocy.

Thats as poor of a take as anyone's going to have today

If you want to keep killing your credibility, giddy up!

I think i saw enough of Smith being metres behind his opponent and then getting back to kick out from a point or out on the full. Do you really want me to make you look more stupid?

Clearly you are drunk as a skunk or just being an idiot, so I can't be bothered wasting anymore time with you until you sober up.

Are you seriously suggesting that a player that came on fresh as sub that got the ball once in play was somehow good? Explain that to me.

You reckon I have any credibility? And if I did, do you reckon you're an arbiter?

Go back and watch for yourself, when you sober up
