Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Showdown 56

[Willsy10]

Burton is a good call. Him and Esava can swing back if we start making there forwards look like millionaires again. Lord needs a strong and uninterrupted pre season, he will come good i think but he just isn't ready yet.

 

[Doctor Feel]

I really hope he plays a blinder.

What is a blinder

 

[Willsy10]

Nice attempt at trash talking Darcy, none of it made any sense but good on you.

 

[Chewy316]

Burton will be nothing but a stop gap this week until Georgiades is available for selection vs Freo - at which point he will replace Burton (assuming no other injuries) and Burton will be back in the SANFL.

 

[Willsy10]

Is Georgiades definitely not available?

 

[Lefti93]

Make or break time Burto.

 

[davesnothere]

Is Georgiades definitely not available?

One week plus one to be sure.

He might feel ok but he's not going to be risked by the sounds of it.

 

[StuMan]

Put Burton in the team and keep him off the radio beforehand.

Darcy Fogarty is playing the Ryan Burton role this week.

A cherry on top of what??

Their turd of a season?

Darcy Fogarty is playing the Ryan Burton role this week.

Cherries are a bit bitter at this time of year to say the least.

When the cherries are ripe, sweet and on top would be the Crows winning the remaining games outright and jumping over either or both of Melbourne and the Saints and Port getting Melbourne's first round pick if Houston goes after winning the Grand final.

Now that would be .

I was holding out hope it was just precautionary last week and an easy way for them to give Marshall another go before finals.

Walker tries now and again but it just sounds like "Glmmph Sglkdl ebnoytfk"

Then he grins and wiggles his ears.

Or us getting the first round pick they give up for Oliver and drafting a player who torments them for the next 15 years.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Bergman is a good match up for Walker I think. Can’t see us brining in Clurey. And didn’t Clurey (when he used to get regular games) normally get owned by Walker anyways.

I think everyone wants to see a repeat of the first 2021 Showdown

Walker had kicked 27 goals going into the round 8 Showdown.

Clurey put him in his pocket for 6 disposal and just the solitary behind.

Didn't play against the Crows in 2022, and the first Showdown was his only game last year.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

I would definitely be going Lord over Burton for the place of Marshall.

As a forward, he's never looked likely and as a defender, he has the boot but not the heart.

I wouldn't be letting that back into the team.

Lord also needs some opportunity because if Dixon goes down or Georgiades has a run with injury, we don't want to rely on Burton.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Showers forecast for Saturday

 

[Chewy316]

Showers forecast for Saturday

Only in the morning from Friday's overnight rain.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

BOM forecast is for showers Thursday to Sunday

Darcy Fogarty is playing the Ryan Burton role this week.

Good. Hopefully he ends up with the same result

 

[Willsy10]

I've got a feeling it is going to be Rozee's turn to really light it up on Saturday night.

They will obviously put most of their attention into JHF and Butters, but i think Rozee has been building and is due for a really dominant captain's display in an important match. Maybe a 30 possession 2-3 goal game.

Also might have some extra significance for him after what happened to him in the last showdown.

I thought he was impressive late in the game against Melbourne.

Honestly, if we let their plodders like Crouch and Laird dominate us again, i'll fckn spew. Even there kids like Soligo and Sholl, they're okay but they should really have their arses handed to them by our midfield.

Yeah we've got some tall timber out up forward and there forward line is in really good form, but I'm still not sure how the dogs let them score 17.9 from 43 entries?? But i feel like i say this every showdown but it shouldn't matter how good there forward line is because we should be spanking these pricks in the midfield.

The midfield battle actually shouldn't even be close.

damn, we thought the crap our players said in Showdown week was bad!

His 4th quarter was huge.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Rozee's tackle to open the fourth quarter set the tone for the rest of it.
