Preview Changes: Adelaide vs Geelong Sat 6th May 1:10pm GMHBA

[Crow till I die]

bit the cats already have a player covering Dawson, so it'll be his job to follow him when he runs off. Why would it be Danger's job?

So geeong will double team dawson..especialy with a 6-6-6 at centre bounces?

 

[CrowBloke]

No, the selectors will select who they want regardless of Burgo's view.

Nonsense.
If one of the Selectors started a sentence with "I don't care what Burgess said ..." the others would laugh at him.

Also, you've shifted the subject of what I was talking about, which was resting players.
To my knowledge, Burgess is the fitness guru. He'd know when someone was fit enough to play, or needed a rest.

 

[Peter Doherty]

So Burns reckons Crouch would be the sub, so we continue with the bizarre use of our sub.

Surely you’re not making the sub a player that provides no run and can only play one position?

Just in case some claim hindsight is a wonderful thing, I’m calling this a bad idea now.

Having him as the sub is not a great show of confidence to the starting mids. Feels like a half decision.

That's not how I took it, a direct question was put to him and he said that would be a consideration depending on the weather...i.e. cold, wet and windy.

Rowie: 'Matty Crouch as sub?'
Burns: 'Yeah, more than likely....'

A side note, how upbeat did Burns sound?? Normally he sounds a little short with the media (could just be the times I listen).

You think he's going to telegraph what our strategy is with the sub knowing Geelong would be all over it?

Midfield will likely be where it's won and lost don't you think?

We might need an injection of slow in the second half

no, Danger will play his natural game and won't give a shit what Dawson is doing bevause the cats have someone looking after him.

you reckon burgess endorses guys playing injured like Doedee and Keays did last year instead of rehabbing and getting right for a full preseason? Burgess prepares them, the coaches select them based upon whether they reckon the player helps us win more than their replacement. Nothing to do with burgess.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Doubt there's much subterfuge going on.

Not sure how much value a surprise Ned substitution provides.

 

[Mutineer]

 

[Peter Doherty]

Team sheets are in..... McHenry, not Crouch named as sub.......

Geelong start already on the backfoot...

 

[CrowBloke]

I doubt it, but it's totally irelevant to what I was talking about: RESTING PLAYERS.

Burgess prepares them,

OK ...

the coaches select them based upon whether they reckon the player helps us win more than their replacement.

OK, if you wanna believe that every player has a "replacement" but I don't care about that, because I was talking about, well, see above and my last 2 posts.

Nothing to do with burgess.

Nonsense.
Geez you're snarkey tonight. More than usual.

 

[kirky]

Unlike last year, won on last kick. Lost next by 10 goals.

Nah .. but everyone else is lucky.

Its 2023 not 2022.

 

[kirky]

Sad Fact Friday with Grotto

The Crows have lost their last 12 games at that s**t hole in Geelong.

So lucky 13 then

 

[Crow till I die]

no, Danger will play his natural game and won't give a s**t what Dawson is doing bevause the cats have someone looking after him.

Agree to disagree if dawson is right on top of him...they wont be sending a tag to dawson as a double team

 

[George Kramer]

That's not how I took it, a direct question was put to him and he said that would be a consideration depending on the weather...i.e. cold, wet and windy.

He started with more than likely.

Do you think it’s a good choice?

 

[Mutineer]

He started with more than likely.

Do you think it’s a good choice?

dependent on if he's used re an injury or as strategic sub?

 

[George Kramer]

dependent on if he's used re an injury or as strategic sub?

Unless it’s a midfielder that’s injured he won’t be much help and again as a strategic sub, he can only replace a midfielder.

Do you think he’s a good choice as a sub?

If the weather's cold, wet and windy which is well on the cards why not?

Wouldn't need to do a lot right to be better than Schoenberg last week especially if the conditions suit so yes I don't have a problem with it. Might have been handy to have had someone that could win a hard ball/clearance in the last quarter last week. Pretty obvious the reasons he's travelled are two fold, cover for Laird and the the expected conditions on the day.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

That's not how I took it, a direct question was put to him and he said that would be a consideration depending on the weather...i.e. cold, wet and windy.

I would bring Crouch in for these conditions as perfectly suited to him.

We need to be smarter in our player management.

Could go smaller or rest Laird at half back, leaving Milera out or as sub.

Posted this on Monday, sad how predicably bad our selections are.

And congrats to 1970crow for being on the ball as well.

Even the commentary is going to be rubbish, meanwhile Huddo is calling the 16th vs 18th game.

Kelli friggin underwood...well at least i will be watching it at a pub where i wont be able to hear the commentary

 

[Burtonsgottago]

What's the Collingwood game got to do with what I said? I mentioned the Port game and the Hawks game.

Collingwood game was different to the port game. Port game was pretty even throughout and then we just ran over the top of them in the last. Collingwood game we had in control for most of the game and then just fell apart in the last quarter.

Why are you arguing with a troll?

Montagna is decent though.
