Preview Changes: Preliminary Final - IN: Sloane, Otten, Melts OUT: Smith, McGovern

[Shaz2012]

The one thing I do like about the Otten selection is that Geelong have more risk involved in swinging Taylor forward. He hurt us last game. Now they have an extra tall to match up on. If we dont see Taylor forward all game because of this selection then its a win for us imo.

But agree with all the rest of the problems raised - slow, lack of defensive pressure. Come on Charlie, this is your time. Best ever game please.

You're in real melt mode today, hate to see what you'll be like tomorrow!

Haha I'll be bloody nervous!!

I just want us to have the best possible chance and I disagree with selection and I've given my reasons...simple!

Will tex Jj Lynch Talia Jacobs play 100% game time if not who will play those percentages

They all played last game, who did then?

 

[Hank93]

No win situation with McGovern out, every potential replacement had question marks.

All the best Andy, a player that deserves success considering his injuries and service to the Crows over 9 years.

Backing Charlie for a big one!!

Keath really was the smartest choice structurally.

Anyway, selection is done!

C'mon Andy...kick some crucial goals, contest the airwaves like a man possessed, smash into Henderson until he's too scared to contest the mark, and against all odds lay a bloody tackle or two!!

 

[Shaz2012]

Keath really was the smartest choice structurally.

Possibly. But cant really debut him as a forward in a prelim. Hampton was the guy for me, but not if he was short of match fitness and possibly form. Menzel was my next preference but you have to back Pyke if he doesnt trust him to do the role. Looks like Milera was next up, in which case I think Otten is probably better given that you wont get much more pressure from Wayne, but lose the tall marking ability and goal kicking.

What percentage did they each play on the ground they obviously were covered by smalls is that wise to do

At least we didn't select potentially injured players this time.

No doubt McGovern would have played in the same situation last year

If we win this game because Cockatoo and Stewart do hammy's we will look like ****ing geniuses. If Cockatoo kicks the winning goal after the siren we will look like chumps. I fully support the way we have chosen to go leaving gov out and wont change my opinion regardless of how it plays out.

Not sure about that. I don't think he was close.

Do you think I recorded their percentages?

 

[Scorpus]

Not sure about that. I don't think he was close.

Jenkins foot was practically severed off last year yet he still played (and was ****ing garbage)

HUGE game for Jenkins.

He's talked it up big time...probably second only to the egomaniac from Geelong and in past years the mighty Jason Akermanis.

Aker and Danger have backed their words with actions...it's your turn Jenkins.

 

[rezagun]

Shutdown motlop, cockatoo and duncan and geelong dont win.
Cameron, Atkins, Seedsman and Mackay could well be the difference.

With a tall side they will all need to contribute big time!

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I agree with having the tall...but one who can run and chase. Keath was a better choice.

I think people are getting carried away with the shiny new toys.

Otten is a very very good footballer. I think a lot here will be embarassed by their carry on.

 

[Vhaluus]

Mentioning Jenkins in the same sentence as those two is just comical.

Can Keath play forward too?

 

[Slippery Pete]

I never notice the emergencies...but it is normal for Reilly O'Brien to be one?

 

[Vhaluus]

Agreed, I may not agree with Otten but I'd much rather him than an injured Gov.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Yes.
