Unofficial Preview Changes/prematch discussion v Tiges [Out: 15/30/11/9/4/22/19/10/16 | In: 36/38/41/35/32/2/14/21/40]

Media carry on is a joke. We can rest whoever the **** we like. I'm tipping our side is still more experienced than the Tiges anyway. Our old mate Duck saying it is wrong. GAGF. Oh, and Adelaide, go EAD.

Apparently it's okay for Fremantle to do it because they "earned it" but when we do it, it's not in the spirit of the game. Lol

I don't think it will hurt us, Freo rested players in 2013 and got smashed by St Kilda, then upset Geelong the next week and went on to make the Grand Final.

If we were likely to play a different side next week I wouldn't mind as much. Its more that getting the edge over them the week before is a huge psychological advantage. Resting also puts pressure on the rested players, especially if we get belted. I'm a bit concerned by this.

 

[Roosurgence]

At the end of the day we looked flat and tired against the Dogs, so if the players need a freshen up then so be it.

So the media would rather see us field 22 blokes that wouldn't give a stuff and would be going through the motions? At least tomorrow night a massive part of our squad will be going hell for leather to prove they can play at the level. Some of these guys will be thinking they are a chance at playing in a final if they impress. Give me that any day instead of a bullshit bruise free, don't give a stuff game.

 

[Roo Beauty]

I'm not expecting to win but just imagine the melts on the Tiges board if we won… imagine.

 

[shintemaster]

Have to admit. I'm a lot more excited for this game after those changes. It's gone from a dead rubber to something with a bit of interest for a few reasons. And $10. Seriously? What the hell were the TAB thinking?

Yeah but both teams know we are no where near full strength, but I get what you mean, I'm just hoping it doesn't give them an advantage next week. But if we can beat them with half our side out that would definitely be a psychological advantage.

Happy we didn't give a farewell game to McMahon. Much rather get games into kids.

Will be interesting to see if McMahon announces retirement or waits to be delisted at years end

 

[rippersnipper]

Anyways this is our club's future. In 3-4 years quite a few of these guys will likely be running around out there. We'll see how they go. Effort=reward

As CEO of Chocolate Quik I do not like this post. :stern look

 

[Orange Peanut]

Disappointed James didn't take the opportunity to point out the quality of some of our ins. Gave the others a little bit of a free hit i reckon.

 

[Orange Peanut]

After this media meltdown i kind of hope that if one of our players gets injured, we sub off one of the healthy ones snd play with 2 on the bench

 

[LB2Snake]

Jason Dunstall has a dig at sides resting top players in Round 23 and then has top players getting injured in Round 23 as his "Doomsday Scenario" tonight....

I saw that too..what a douche.

Carey is a smart man.

I tells yah what. If I was in charge at the NMFC I would have already rookie listed a boxer for this exact circumstance. Oh the carnage that could take place. Then simply delist rookie listed boxer at the end of the season. :stern look

Even better if someone glassed the Tiggers players Carey-style.

Yeah really intriguing.

Surprised they didn't rest Swallow, he looked tired on the weekend

 

[utility]

I logged on to check the ins/outs and all I got were f***en last week's keno numbers!

No doubt Dean 'Thursday night lotto' Laidley would be envious of these changes.

And just for good measure, I reckon BS doubled the number of unforced changes in the season this week!

FWIW this team should give a decent crack but doubt we'll get the four points... hilarious if we do.

I don't buy this psychological advantage stuff. It's a new game at a new venue with new stakes IF we play Richmond again next week. Game on.

In 2010 we needed to win our last two games (which we did) and hope Hawthorn lose their last two to play finals. But in the second last round Freo rested 11 against the Hawks. Hawthorn had 20 goals on the board before Freo had 2. Two weeks later Freo played Hawthorn in an Elimination Final and early in the third quarter led 8 goals to 1 and were never in danger of losing.

Would love to see all three emergencies come in at the last minute to result in 12 changes. A great way to troll the AFL.

 

[tales129]

It's not like we've bought in preuss Fordham and warren ala free.

Ross Lyon really gives no ****s

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

We did

 

[TruRoos7]

We really should have brought back Tiny for this game, that guy was a wrecking ball... Has he been released from gaol yet, or was he deported!! Carey would love Tiny running around in the blue and white this week, would defiantely fulfil his "MaiM" quota.

 

[TruRoos7]

Alas one would think so...

Kurt Tippett has been fined $50,000 and suspended for half the 2013 AFL season while the Adelaide Crows have been fined $300,000 for breaching the salary cap and tampering with the draft.

Adelaide and its chief executive Steven Trigg pleaded guilty to three charges in relation to "conduct prejudicial to the draft" and "conduct in breach of the total player payments provisions" at the hearing at AFL House in Melbourne.

Got a warning for posting this on Crows board.

Bit precious with all the vitriol being spewed forth there.

If you go to the main board, all clubs, a few of us are fighting Crows supporters and a deluded Essendon supporter, entertaining.

Can anyone else believe Harper didn't even get a call up for this game ?
