Team Thursday Round 14

[Vader]

As usual, Dave Burtenshaw and Calum Young will be running a chat session on AFC.com.au, discussing the team selections and answering as many questions as they can in the time allotted to them.

I'll do my best to keep you all updated on the highlights.

 

[Vader]

Knights apparently did some training today, "Hopefully not far off".

I'm not holding my breath in anticipation of Knights playing again this year.

 

[Cap]

Well Bock stays out so thats going to make selection easier, I gather if anything its Porps in - Mackay out?

 

[Vader]

The "hangar" (the "new shed"?) has apparently been closed due to lack of interest. Guess it wasn't such a bright idea to only offer it to Gold Members who were willing to pay extra on top of the standard membership fee...

 

[Vader]

Players who are coming out of contract have now been presented with offers. No word on whether any have actually re-signed as of yet.

Nah the hanger is the old shed.

Isn't "The Hanger" for everyone? It's the old shed with a new name.

[Allbetsroff]

Fair amount of parrots in this thread

 

[Vader]

Seems fairly quiet so far today. No big breaking news stories (unlike the day that Edwards retired).

The Hanger is the old shed, which is run by the SANFL not the AFC.

 

[Vader]

OK, so everyone is going to the "new shed" and nobody is going to the "old shed". Fair enough I guess. Doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to be operating both sheds.

[Comment From Jenny T Jenny T: ]
So The boys have got some desire to win again...wonder why they choose to switch it on and off each week? Its certainly a mindset thing...but why is the big question?

 

[johnnypanther]

can anyone give us us an idea of the turnouts in the new shed please?

 

[Elite Crow]

Isnt the Hanger the Old Shed?





Sorry I couldnt resist.

[Chief Crow]

Good to see Smack and Gunna in the emergencies

 

[Vader]

Smack selected by default. He's the only emergency ruckman we have left, with Sellar getting injured last week.

 

[andrew23]

LOL at all the cheapskates desperate for free tickets.

 

[marvin]

Jenny T (aka Rucci) at his trolling finest:

I love it how Jenny T didn't know Hille has been out a few weeks already.

I wonder if he frocks up to get into character when he trolls the team Thursday chat?

 

[Chief Crow]

Smack selected by default. He's the only emergency ruckman we have left, with Sellar getting injured last week.

Phil Harper just mentioned Smack on 5aa. Said he went to watch him at South last week and he was really impressed with him. said even though his team got flogged, he really stood out. Apparently he was the one really 'rallying the troops'

Also he just said that the Crows have just made 2 big re-signings but wont announce them just yet. Bock and Danger?

 

[andrew23]

just for fun for anybody who isn't on there.

Who was the first Crows player to wear the #32 guernsey ?

 

[Vader]

Hint: It wasn't Mark Ricciuto or Patrick Dangerfield.
