Thoughts/Changes v Kangaroos

[- PC -]

I really wonder where the game plan that NC first initiated has gone.

This was the kick over the players head and make them run onto it and kick it further down the ground. Thats how you can break lines and stop the contested ball...except its a foot contest and not a marking contest.

Imagine Knights and VB or McLeod running onto a ball kicked over their heads and bouncing into space on the wing.... woooosh and 5 steps kick into the forward lines and the backline is struggling to man the zones

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

I hope Massie does well. He is not my favourite player but if anyone deserves a continual opporunity, it is him.

forever in and out of the side, he doesnt whinge, just goes back to Norwood and performs week after week.

 

[jenny61_99]

Sometimes I wonder if people actually watch what is happening on the field? McLeod has gone into the midfield at times over the last few games.

Perhaps not enough though? He is certainly still capable... I'd like to see him carve it up!

As for Jericho being dropped - dropped when he plays well, dropped when he plays badly. Poor bugger must be mightily confused - I know I am!

Massie (defender) in for Goodwin OR Jericho doesn't make sense - and is Goodie definitely out? Seems to me we are making our already overly defensive side more defensive instead of the attacking risk takers NC says he wants us to be??

Yes Jenny, being dropped after putting in a pathetic, heartless performance has certainly left me in shock!

And even you said he played poorly last week, why then shouldn't he be dropped?

 

[bus24]

Even if he just played poorly, he would've gotten another game.

It was the total lack of effort that resulted in his dropping.

 

[Southerntakeover]

And if Goodwin pulls out and Jericho is straight back in, will you spend all of next week ranting via computer screen about Jericho's 'softness'? Despite my willingness to bet that he would wipe the floor with any of you in a clean one on one.

I said Im confused - seems to me the logic the selection committee is using is to drop em when they have a great game so common sense says retain em when they don't! And as I and countless others have said, he was not the only one who had a poor game last week. Seems like Craig is playing with this young bloke and I have to honestly say I don't like it at all. Not likely to get the best out of someone if you treat them like crap.

And just the act of dropping someone capable of kicking a bag of goals and replacing them with a defender when we are struggling to kick a competitive score every week does not make sense to me!

FFS can you give it a rest – we all understand your immense dislike for him but stop going on about it.

He played well against Brisbane, Richmond and Carlton (his best game ever) and didn’t really deserve top be dropped (I think this override his inclusion under false pretences). Yes we all know he played a ####ing stinker of a game against the Cats form Kardinia Park and should pay the penalty but he is still in the side so how about STFU and showing him some support.

If you really support the Adelaide Football Club like you imply you do start showing him some support because he is still an Adelaide Crows player if he plays above expectation this will increase our chances at winning or you are just a ####ing bandwagon fan like has been alleged.

We know you don’t like him because he is not a Red and Blue god from the Parade but STFU about it. FFS!!!!

I agree with everyone that jericho needs to be dropped, however he showed some good signs early on, now hopefully craigy will show him tha if he performs well in the sanfl he will get another gig. I thin NC is trying to set an example that if you get to put on the crows jumper you should feel privaliged and work your ring off for the team. Also, Jericho should wipe the floor with any of us. He gets paid to do so, probably around 70-80 grand to do so!!! However, totally agree as supporters of the club we should stand by our players and hope that he can reproduce the glimpses of brilliance he showed early on.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Goodwins out!!
Vince or Jericho to replace him.

Good never understand how was in in the first place.

 

[KUNG FU]

Its absolutely shocking that Massie is not in for Goodwin. Either Craig doesn't rate the Roos or this is player development gone mad.

Massie has already been included in the Squad at the initial expense of Jericho. Goodwin has since dropped out and Jericho comes back in.

I can't believe how much you overreact to everything.

Let's see now. Against Melbourne who would you rather have, 300+ gamer Mark Ricciuto or Luke "1 game wonder" Jericho? Seriously, someone had to make way for Roo and it was Jericho. Bad luck for sure, but he got his chance against the Cats to prove to Neil Craig and the rest of the coaching staff they were wrong, and what does he do? Put in a stinker and deserves to be dropped. I make no secret of the fact I don’t like him and his attitude out on the field, but he does not deserve to play this week and therefore I hope Vince is the one to come in for Goodwin.

I need some coffee!

 

[RoosterLad]

Stop Press! Drummond backs Vince!

At least Vince has been in pretty good form apart from the bad game against the Raging Redlegs but he wasn't alone then. Hopefully he can carry that form over, he has been playing in different positions though.

 

[Drummond]

X-Factor!!!!!!!!

Fire up son!!! Stick him in the midfield I say.

Coming from you....gee what an insult

It doesn’t matter, my point is….he is in the side so how about supporting him rather than continually saying how ****ed the decision is to pick him every week.

If you support the Adelaide Football Club, start showing it by supporting the players that are picked rather than whinging about the one who are not.

 

[Gets!]

I hope Vince comes in...play in the midfield son.

 

[RoyalBlue]

get Jericho in there!

 

[KUNG FU]

get Jericho in there!

Case closed. Bring in Vince. Or Douglas.

 

[RoosterLad]

Douglas hasn't been in great form since going back to the Bays so hopefully Vince comes in... I understand it's only X-FACTOR!!!!!!!!! and Jericho travelling so surely the Weekend will be the man who gets a gig (this will also keep him out of the Eagles team to take on the Chooks).

If Bock is giving something up forward more then Stevens shouldn't the stats show something to that regard because it isn't kicking straight for starters.
Bocks kicked 1.7 against the roos for his career.
Stevens has 12 goals this year for a guy playing most of the time in the back lines Bock only being down there a couple times has 15 goals from 11 matches.

Jericho WILL play, Vince the emergency (this from training at Cararra this afternoon).

Oh awesome

Get the handbags and lip gloss out people.

After the game we might even have a pillow fight

 

[jenny61_99]

The Club must be THRILLED to have supporters like you!
