Wield the Axe

[Jars458]

Most of the Crows played at SANFL level or below for three and a half quarters of that game.

I think Clarke McLeod and Massie are the only ones who played out most of the game in a fashion that is acceptable

Ayres must get rid of some players this week to send a clear message

out: Crowell, Ladhams, Gallagher, and one other (maybe even Bode).

In Carey Smart Welsh and Burton.

Can someone please tell Simon Goodwin to kick to one of our players rather than just bomb it 500 feet in the air.

We were very lucky to win that game, and against most other sides we would have been towelled.

Bulldogs backman ran the ball out of our forward line with ridiculous ease. No accountability whatsoever.

I tought Begley played well.

Bode should spend more time on the ground but Ladhams has been ordinary for a few weeks now.

IN: Carey, Smart, Burns, Burton (give Welsh another week in SANFL)
OUT: Mattner, Ladhams, Gaallagher and Crowell

Delivery was shocking. In reality we went into the match one tall player short.

Forward line pressure is nonexistant at the moment. This should be solved once Welsh comes back in.

Agree with your ins & outs Stiffy, would keep Bode in the side for now but what happens when Stevens & Welsh come back in would Bode & Perrie be under the pump then ???

Still would make a nice change for the selectors to have instead of making do with a make-shift forward set up,

Spot on Stiffy, it is a mystery why Bode is not spending more time on the ground. If he is not fit, rest him, otherwise give him more game time.

Same story for Roo. If he is not chasing due to a back problem, rest him so it doesn't get worse. He was one of the main reasons why the Bullies ran the ball out of our forward line, as he refused to chase. As the leader of the club, this sets a bad example (even if there was a reason for it).

Mattner must go back to the SANFL as I have been saying for yonks. He is down on confidence & is not currently up to AFL level. If he stays in the team & Massie is dropped (again), I will be very p!$$ed off!!

Ladhams has got lazy & is nowhere near the player he was last year. As Jars mentioned, he needs to be dropped back to North to be given a kick up the arse.

Doughty probably deserves a spot ahead of Gallagher, so reasonable to drop Gags.

Crowell would be a bit unlucky to be dropped, but he is the logical choice if Smart returns. He is now behind Begley & Massie in the pecking order. Alternatively playing Geelong we could drop Bassett (& play Crowell or Smart at FB on Kingsley) as he also needs to start using his brain more to stop doing some very stupid things on the field.

Or pre-season . I thought he was one of our best during the wizard cup and was set for a big year. I think he's only played one good game in the season proper, against Sydney. And that was as forward pocket, I don't think he's had a decent game in the midfield.
