Unofficial Preview We are in the finals- Crows v Bulldogs Sat Night at the G

[Mingo]

Instead of having ago at me, why don't be mature and rational and produce stats and records to counter my argument? One of your pack claimed he should of made aa, if wasn't for injury. I'm just pointing out he wouldn't make our side. There's only one spot in our side that suits his game, that's taken by Walker.

Are you really abusing me because you think Stringer would get a game here in front of walker?

I'm not a huge believer in stats, but 54 goals this year is a pretty damn good effort for a mid sized forward and should be justification enough.

He would get a game alongside Walker. Any coach that had Walker and Stringer on a list would be clinically insane to not play them together. Imagine trying to figure out the defensive match ups on those two. I'm very happy with Stringer in our forward line but I would be nuts to say Walker wouldn't get a game with us because of him.

Anyway, you're more than entitled to your opinion and I don't want to derail this thread. Best of luck on Saturday night

if unchanged we'll have
Crouch, Cameron, Atkins, Knight & Lever in for
CEY, Wright, Mackay, Jeansch & Kelly as the changes from the rnd 4 steamer...

 

[BACCS]

I'm in Melbourne for work on Thursday and Friday and will extend my stay by couple of days

I'm here for work now, but unfortunately couldn't time it for the game

Does your car run on beer?

Neither of us run on beer

 

[Damp Squarie]

Looking forward to a fast start...whatever we did to get it 2weeks back is required. Headspace has to be ideal.

I'll make the call that if we are within 2 goals at quarter time we will win.

If they get a decent lead it will be hard to contain their youthful exuberance.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Am confident we will win. (Which worries me as i was confident last time we played WB)

Bigger bodies in finals
MCG suits us more
More players with big game/finals experience
Don't think doggies game plan will be suited to cauldron of finals footy

Im pumped to be heading over! Going with my brother and assorted kids. Last time we went to a final together the crows won so lets hope that trend continues.

Interesting, all upgrades on the round 4 side but I would still like CEY as he brings something different to the side.

So cey in for crouch.

Has anyone seen this bloke in the last 6 years? Let's hope he isn't feeling like this on Saturday night!

which bloke?

 

[TheLeftFist8]

So who do we view as our key players this week?

This week more than ever I agree that the 'best midfield wins'.

So my number 1 player this week we need to excel is the one position we should dominate…ruck and big Sauce.

He will then feed the mids. I think we can win this battle but the opposition spread hard and well. We must dominate the clearances to mitigate their threat. Players 2 and 3 are Danger and Thompson.

From their we need to expose their shorter, rebounding defence. We have to win the aerial battle and not allow Murphy and Wood to pick us off. My number 4 most important player this week is Jenkins.

Finally we need to neutralise their major scoring threat, so number 5 is Talia who needs to lead the defence while stopping Stringer.

If these 5 perform we will win by a fair margin.

Is it Saturday yet? Toey as a Roman.

Would replace Lynch with Stringer in a heartbeat.

Good luck trying to match up on us with him as a 3rd tall.

Crows are wearing the good guernsey, right? Not the white one?

 

[Bicks]

Interesting, all upgrades on the round 4 side but I would still like CEY as he brings something different to the side.

So cey in for crouch.

I'd go CEY for Atkins or Lyons, probably Lyons.

I presume you watch the game live? Damn that's tough to do it regularly.

Losing Roughy,losing last week,night game,and BIG Crow crowd should favour us too.

and they have lost two key players, that always helps

 

[Realslimshady2]

White

Fair enough too, we are the away team.
If the Hawks can win in their ghay power rangers queen of the desert outfit then we should be able to win in white!
