Round 7: Changes Vs Adelaide Crows

[theGav56]

Its going to be 21-22 and sunny, why are we talking about wet weather?

Huh? Oh ok, I had got my info from Kenny the Weatherman.

 

[TheUnit1]

No changes, give Blakey another game to build up his fitness. Is it me or can I not stand the commentators saying Luke Ryan is most improved or revitalised as a player, seriously he has been a consistent performer for us since coming from Coburg wherever he’s played

I'd prefer they didn't talk about him at all.

I think they all just found out he is from Victoria.

 

[wayToGo_]

Pretty sure he was talking about the WC game and how 'good' they are playing in the wet.

 

[Cesoir]

If it's dark and foggy I'd bring in Arya Stark to play on Tex.

 

[fnerd]

He's our 2nd best

Once again the lines between reality and fantasy become blurred.

Reminds me of a saying -“the longer conners out the better player he becomes”.
He’s no where near our second best mid.

Your effectively saying he’s better than Mundy , walters, bhill, shill.
Even Langdon has claims to be as good.
Yes he might BECOME our second best mid, certainly has some weapons but as of right now the bloke hasn’t even 50 games.

 

[Deveraux]

Very interesting selection week but the suggestions of Langdon (wtf) or Colyer out wouldn't be the best idea as there's a lot of talk about the crows being susceptible to leg speed.
Conca or Brayshaw would fit the best but would be a bit rough on both unless it was Brayshaw for a legitimate rest.
Tucker stays in no matter what for mine, he is building nicely. Would love to see see 25-30 of his effective disposals a week. Opposition teams would start to look at tagging him if that was the case.
What wonderful problems we have.

except Conca has been very good & important to our structures.

Fully agree.. looking purely at team balance for the crows. Not sure anyone deserves to come out. Blakely might see himself at Peel for one more week.
There may be a more justified omission then.

 

[Dock_king]

I don`t see any reason to drop a member of the winning team from last week.
Let Blakely build form and fitness with Peel for another week.
Injuries and form slumps will inevitably open a spot for him soon enough.

 

[MrDanggazz]

We would of lost last week without our 30+ year old star, midfield is a massive concern. We have a young gun midfielder who would only improve with more games at AFL level in the 2's ready to play, yet you want him to stay there ? Crows midfield will run havoc and destroy our midfield without him IMO.

 

[PowerToThePurpl]

If anything it’ll be
Out: Brayshaw (rest)
In: Blakely
I’m a big fan of Andy but he’s not having the biggest influence as of late, with Blakely ultimately making us a better side. I get the “pump games into your high draft picks” argument but players can’t be gifted games just to gain experience.

Really we did fine against a GWS midfield who I rate higher than the Crows midfield.

Bulldogs midfield is good too.

 

[yyou]

it's more our backline that has been the winning factor, but the crows have a better forwardline than the dogs definitely, & arguably than the Giants, who were without Green.
the midfield does need bolstering & Blakely is a significant upgrade on Brayshaw IMO

I have Brayshaw ahead of Cerra.

 

[TheLastCall]

I have Brayshaw ahead of Cerra.

If a young player gets rested it will be Brayshaw, Cerra is doing the media for Adelaide this week.

 

[Dockers v Channel7West]

To me Brayshaw is going to be a great player for us but for his confidence and development now is the perfect time to manage him and bring in Blakey who is in our best half dozen players when fit and has earned his stripes through playing plenty of past games with Peel
Brayshaw can hone his skills and decision making by foot through Peel (only 4 kicks against Dogs)

I’m certain she needs a rest

 

[greatgatsby]

I’m certain she needs a rest

She's had plenty of rest ... we can delist Ballantyne and pick her up in the mid-season draft.

 

[Paracleet]

If I read one more post about Brayshaw 'improving his footskills' at Peel my head will explode. His issue is pressure kicking and it's not going improve under less pressure. He's only going out if he needs an actual rest or isn't hitting running or defensive standards.
Blakey spent alot of time at Peel because he wouldn't defend, not to learn to kick.

 

[electricfeel]

I’m certain she needs a rest

A girl does not rest

 

[wayToGo_]

If it's dark and foggy I'd bring in Arya Stark to play on Tex.

She's quite good at threading the needle.

 

[Wally Walpamur]

Based on Ross’s comments on 6PR, Blakely, Logue and Duman have to play their way into the team and won’t automatically come in because they’re available. He did speak really highly of his leadership and how much of an important player he is, though, so maybe he does come in after a run with in the two’s.
