Preview R7: Changes vs. Fremantle

[Apsaalooke]

I heard the only game that Murray has watched of the Adelaide Crows in the past 10 years was round 13 against Richmond.

My sources say he actually called Nicks and told him to never play the soon to be uncontracted Ned again.

My sources say it was as a precondition of him coming to Adelaide

Sensible changes, providing that Rachele is 100% healed.

Would have been happy to see Tex get a rest as well to keep him fresh for the long season.

If we happen to be well ahead part way ino the 3rd quarter, sub tex out to protect him might be the go obviously depending on any in game injury to others etc

Hope so. Thats a perfect scenario!

Yep it’s the girth that matters

Reckon women might have a differing opinion….

I thought women and men are exactly the same.

Wtf?

 

[1970crow]

Wtf?

Are you saying there’s differences?

 

[jenny61_99]

Are you saying there’s differences?

You’re weird.

When it comes to their length sorry, height, Curtin has 5cms more (197/192).

 

[Cromulant]

Reckon JJ missed 3 and was horrible. Hopefully Rach is cool, reckon it’s dubious though.

You said that about Murray last week.

Leave it to the professionals

For someone who claims to get 99.75% of things correct - he sure does get a lot wrong.

I guess there is no doubt who the selectors regard as our best 23.

The only change change from Round one has been
In - Nankervis
Out - Sholl

I said at the start of February that our best 23 for Round One had Nankervis and Sholl in and both Butts and Milera in the Twos for a month since they were returning from major injuries. Milera has taken a while to find form, as expected, but has looked better the last couple of weeks.

Imho, the other players who quite a few posters considered borderline selections have either been dropped (Sholl) have justified their selection (Laird, Hinge, Milera, Crouch) or are developing Kids (Draper and Curtin). ROB wasn’t a borderline proposition in February because we only had one ruckman at that time.

No doubt we will find out more when injuries / illness / suspensions occur. I am delighted that Taylor is next in line and I hope that Dowling, Edwards, Ryan and Bond get a chance if an opportunity arises.

Its not about girth nor length but the size of the neck

Well considering it was a woman who told me…

Ribs are different. With a leg the test is easy, it’s just mobility. With ribs you can’t test without genuine physical impact.

You know very well what he meant, youi smarter than that WTF response.

They are, but given they didn't risk Fogarty I'm more confident in the decision to play Rachele.

4 weeks for fractured ribs is about right, we'll soon find out.

Wow you are a strange cat

Or losing Fog saw them take a risk with Rachele. I'm probably a bit rib averse TBH. I dislocated my shoulder a few times, returned to play earlier than I should have, but it never impacted how you play. If not for the scar on my shoulder I'd barely remember it. But I remember breaking ribs, being in sheer agony by accidentally taking a deeper breath. That moment of terror when you realise a sneeze is upcoming.

If I was going to provide a reason, I might have skipped a few pages and totally missed the context of the convo I jumped into.

[davos44]

I think it'd be prudent to rest both Fog and Rachele (even if Rachele claims to be pain-free).
They could even test Rachele in the SANFL if Burgo saw value in that.

That would be a good challenge for our depth + any improvement in Nicks' plans/strategy (<== see, I can be hopeful/optimistic davos44 ).

Winning away without Fog/Rach. would be a morale- and confidence-booster, then we get them back to hammer Carlton then the ferals at home.

My constant campaigning for belief/patience in Nicks is paying off! 1 down 69893 more Crows supporters to go

 

[George CantStandYa]

I wanna a hear from Wayne who the player he said couldn’t play our rolling way was found out and going to be dropped and if he was actually dropped.

Actually nah, much more peaceful
