Preview R8: Changes vs. Carlton - Nicks Sucks and Must be Sacked

[jenny61_99]

Got some early mail, Crouch won’t play this week. Hip no good.

Well there's a surprise... said absolutely no-one.

 

[cleanhands]

do you have me on ignore?

We all do

 

[FR0GGY]

do you have me on ignore?

Not until now, did you not know I was going to post after you? Sheesh!

 

[Scorpus]

We're going to the Tribunal

Crows to challenge MRO decision

The incident occurred during the second quarter of the game against Fremantle

As we should, not worth a game otherwise Zac butters would play 12 games a year.

Intentional reckless
Worse than archer

 

[NTRabbit]

It was a punch, it was intentional, it was high contact, and it was low impact, he absolutely deserves a week for it, not sure what exactly they're trying to challenge

Perception that we don't care about being successful.
Maybe they should target what we actually control.

Look like an attempted shove with an open palm to Brayshaw's chest and it just glaze him in the chin and he acted like it hit him high.

 

[Crow_Magnon]

I expect McAndrew will be fairly average to mediocre at AFL level. But what I like is he can execute the fundamentals of the game.

There's no stats for this, but ROB would be the slowest kicker in the game. As in from the time he decides where to kick, to the ball actually hitting his foot. That he's played more than a decade of football without anyone fixing his kicking action is shameful

He'd also be right at the top of the list for failed handballs and failed handball receives. The amount of times handballs aimed at him aren't touched by his hands at all (hitting him on the chest and bouncing off, hitting his arms, etc) is criminal. And he regularly makes poor connection with the ball when handballing.

I'm sorry but AFL level players need to be able to receive the ball and handball it on. Oppo mids are like sharks when he's about to get it.

I want McAndrew to play purely because it looks like he has the fundamentals in check.

His legs are crooked (knock-kneed?) - he'd need to have them put in splints for a year to straighten them up. Reminds me of Sarge. Ball drop woeful...sort of too far from the time it leaves his hand to actually finding the boot / shin / ankle / heel or knee. As for the handballs, I cannot understand how anyone gives him the ball at all - his only instruction should be to clear out once the ball hits the ground. TBF he actually made good position at times against Freo, and we actually gave it to him - that was the problem!

 

[1970crow]

And yet we’ve continued to play him whilst he’s a liability, ****ing morons

It’ll miraculously heal again if our midfield performs like it did against Suns.

Lower than low impact.
Wouldn’t have hurt Nicksys pet fly

He didn’t use a football

 

[thebirdman 24]

With Hinge and Crouch likely out we know Nicks will want to replace their experience points.

In: Smith and Murphy

 

[Ham]

Curtin should spend some time on Cripps

 

[1970crow]

Lower than low impact.
Wouldn’t have hurt Nicksys per fly

There should be a ‘glancing’ impact rating that can then provide a fine in this circumstance.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

If Smith is in this week. We're definitely in trouble

Nicks will be in more trouble as will signal the beginning of the end.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Nicks will do whats best for his own interests and NOT the AFC.

Yet too stupid to realise playing injured players is in neither best interests...

Just keeps making the same errors over & over... which is why we know he will never learn because he is really not that smart.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Silvagni broken hand, Cerra possible suspension?

 

[ContrarianCrow]

Cerra 1 week... similar-looking incident to Hinge.

 

[footy4ever]

Silvagni broken hand, Cerra possible suspension?

Don't really rate Silvagni, and not up to speed with Cerra's game. I know he goes ok but what level of good is he?

 

[Cromulant]

Don't really rate Silvagni, and not up to speed with Cerra's game. I know he goes ok but what level of good is he?

Jack is apparently in the top 5 (??) ranked defender this season so far

 

[GROTTO]

Cerra 1 week... similar-looking incident to Hinge.

Very very similar, can you imagine if one of them gets off and the other doesnt. Its almost a carbon copy.

Carlton board appear to share our collective opinion of Michael Christian.

 

[CrowBloke]

Move him to half back this week, free him up where he can get ball without needing to break pack after pack

Problem is, Nicks.

Before any of us make any reasonable or sensible or effective suggestion for change, we need to ask ourselves
"Would a good Coach do this?".
If the answer is YES, Nicks won't.
