Preview R19: Changes vs. Essendon

[Kane McGoodwin]

Interesting that Bombers dropped Wright who usually goes ok against us & playing the 2nd ruckman instead. Easier matchup for Butts.

Murray v Langford.
Keane v Jones.
Hinge v Stringer

Down the other end we should be able to stretch them.

Thilthorpe v McKay
Himmelberg v Laverde has height advantage.
Fogarty v Ridley

At this point I don't care how they get Curtin in.......
Meanwhile Murphy named, starting, not even off the bench

It’s just bizarre

It’s just bizarre

Another reminder why I have no faith in this coaching group going forward.

He can run all day and drag his opponent away from the space which is why he doesn't find the ball........but then when he does he usually fumbles so????

 

[maxlilly]

How would we actually line up this squad? - for balance seems like we might either run bond or max in the mid- or Curtin is a cheeky late in for Smith’s eardrum

Nicks - Smithy, I think we might rest you this week.
Smith - Sorry coach, I cannnnn't hear you

Doesn’t have to... but nearly always does.

Either they manage Hinge as sub, or sadly make Bond sub after a decent debut. Madness if the case ahead of Smith.

Had a great opportunity to bring in Curtin for Murphy, but sadly this selection committee are clueless about prioritising for next year.

2 big fails for me.

Agree with managing Tex though.

Remember about this time last year they pulled the first ever 'game day change' and moved Sloane from the 22 to sub. Might protect Smith's ego the same way.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Murphy is still the sticking point for me.. I just don’t understand why he’s there.

 

[Greenfinger]

Love to know the stats on how many of our changes each week are unforced. Reckon it would be very low compared to other clubs. We never make hard calls.

 

[Carmo]

1. Quality Control Inspector at Arnotts.
2. Crows Shop attendant.
3. Flipping burgers at Maccas.
4. Chimney Sweep.
5. Water Boy.
6.

6. Melt Facilitator at the Crows Bigfooty Board

Actually have to say I'm pretty disappointed with the melts tonight....finals out of reach melts are a level below finals in reach melts

While Essendon have dropped Heppell and Wright

I can only think it’s to make everyone else look better. Apart from that

 

[Carmo]

Players used stat FWIW
Most in comp: Richmond 41
Adelaide 39 (outright second).

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Curtin as the mid emergency is a good sign.

Better sign would be picking him!

Early long term injuries to Thilthorpe, Murray and Milera so players got their opportunity before they returned and then hit with injuries recently including M.Crouch so Dowling, Taylor and Bond all debuted.

 

[crows dude]

Surely Smith drops out for Curtin. Can’t mess around with your hearing.

Fogarty v Ridley

Parish isn't playing, Wright isn't playing, surely Dylan Shiel isn't capable of ripping us to shreds? 8 Goals to Nate Caddy? Laverde to have 17 intercepts?

I know, Ben McKay will play like his brother for once in his life.

I would have Michalanney on Stringer personally.

No way Tex rests until new contract is signed.

And Tex is rested!

Langford will be too mobile for Murray imo, fog vs Ridley a draw and same with himmelberg.
It’s all down to the beast.

Has he not signed?

 

[kirky]

Pilots, flight attendants, passengers

Amended for correctness.

Did I miss it?

Maybe not announced until a loss?
