IN: Pedlar, Murray

OUT: Butts, Cook (injured)

 

[Lukes bike Pedlar]

no Sam collins named for the suns. Our 3 keys should have another field day

Who’s going to illegally take out Rankine now?

 

[Mutineer]

 

[WetCrow1991]

I've followed the Crows long enough to know that talking shit at this point of the weekend is a recipe for disaster.

That's just because we've been bad a lot, there is no causative connection between supporters talking shit and the results on the weekend.

 

[WetCrow1991]

I wonder if Pedlar will be the Sub, if he starts I hope he can get a bit of the ball.

 

[SLOWNE]

Jones would be the sub you'd think.

I think that this is really telling for the direction of the club with these inclusions, us not defaulting automatically back to experienced players.
This has to be the inclusion of Davis and Balme into the selection committee, I have no doubt Nicks would've fought hard over the last couple of weeks to bring in Murphy and Smith as known quantities, however you would think he has either conceded or the others have put the foot down in having Taylor starting on the field, Pedlar, Nank & Bond in the squad surely now shows that they have moved past those two (Murphy & Smith).

They're both out of contract and were given multiple chances to cement a spot and earn a new contract and I am hoping that its all now done. Thanks both for your service, all the best.

Honestly, you have no frigging idea what Nicks would have done given the fact that he's dropped both this year already. He IS learning.

 

[MrBarry]

So we are now Millwall away according to the GC board...never thought that about AO but I'll take it.

So by that, does imply Port are Chelsea???...its the other way around. The pear are the ferral impoverished supporter base

 

[beagle2]

He's shorter than Cook.

Or it is just the same principles we always follow, just the overall quality of the team is better.

I mean, Chayce Jones is in the team right now, so we've clearly learned sweet **** all if the lesson is don't select players who have a track record which indicates they're not up to being a long-term AFL option (which we don't do, we only select for the next game with no care whatsoever for the future).

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Keays or ANB will cool Rioli.

Yeah & the other will take Noble.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

On average, Queenslanders are the most racist state based population in the country. They’re not the most racist overall, but on the state ladder they are.

Agreed... just look at the politicians they vote in which gives a good indication.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The MASSIVE exception to that was last week. I nearly fell off my seat with some of the good decisions he gave us.

I need a new umpire whipping boy.

According to Dogs supporters, he hates them too, so he would have been conflicted last week.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Sam Collins no longer an In for the Suns. Calf must have not come up.

That's a huge win for the Crows. Love to see who they put on Thilthorpe now.

Lachie Weller also an out now as well.

Yeah, Collins is a huge loss to cover our talls & makes me feel a little more confident.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Jones would be the sub you'd think.

Jones or Pedlar.

May be Pedlar as allows ANB to play forests more than wing & pick up one of the dangerous Suns half backs.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Are we thinking Jones will be sub again?

 

[mtbkym]

Some pretty disgusting posts on GC board about our club, call us a racist club, that Mac Andrew will be racially vilified this week.

OMG, I just went for a look after reading some comments here about their preview thread. WTF is going on there? Some of the stuff I read in the first 3 pages stopped me going any further.

What a bunch of disrespectful faux tough guys hang out there

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

No Miller, Collins or Weller makes this a tough ask for GC.

They’re basically needing Rowell, Anderson and Witts to dominate the ruck and clearances to win.

 

[Hodgy]

Yeah & the other will take Noble.

Or Michalaney.

 

[Gtowncrow]

Former champion AFL ruckman Jeff White on The Crows last week.

Great footballers explanation of some of our better plays.

Of note was the degree of excellent Brayden Cooke involvement as the last kick into the f50.
He should get back into the side based on some of this vision.

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

Yeah & the other will take Noble.

With respect, I totally disagree.

Taylor has been playing the defensive forward role. I expect Zac to play on either Rioli or Noble. ANB has a totally different role. When we used him as a defensive forward our forward structure was very clunky.

Keays will pick up whoever is left between Rioli and Noble but he will challenge them by running into dangerous spots rather than locking down on them.

Of course, I could be wrong. I will be at the game and I will report back.

Yeah, Taylor is an option given his role last week on Dale for much of the game.

However, ANB & Keays have both done roles during the year.

Think I would prefer Keays on Rioli as to make him work really hard & hopefully burn him with some goals.

Ps. I will be at the game too.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Or Michalaney.

Reckon he plays in defence this week.
