Preview Changes: R16 vs Melbourne, Saturday July 2, 4.05pm ACST @ Adelaide Oval

[1970crow]

I guess it could be worse.

David Noble just made 0 unforced changes after the loss to us

And that's probably their worst beating for a while given venue and opponent. But we are pretty much David Noble and he's pretty much us.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I watched the highlights from last weeks match against South and that game looked very low intensity. Newchurch has performed well for a while though so you'd think they'd chuck him a game at least.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Soooo close

Thilthorpe, Jones in good

Not playing McHenry/McAdam while battling injury

Crouch and Brown stay in SANFL

Tick, tick, tick.... boo.

We named Newchurch as an emergency. We know what the right call is. Just can't quite bring ourselves to go all in.

 

[pjcrows]

Well now we know why he's been slightly off the past few weeks, he's been carrying a niggle.

For anyone Crowing about losing Ned, watch us get absolutely destroyed by Melbourne tomorrow due to next to zero pressure being applied outside of the contest. Ned gets a lot of hate on these boards, but he chews up free space, doesn't give opposition players time think and make pressure-free passes. We played without Ned against Carlton earlier this year, if anyone would like a reminder of just how deplorable our pressure is without him.

1. Why was he playing injured?

2. A factor in us getting flogged by Melbourne won't be Ned McHenry in or out.

 

[pjcrows]

Not ne senior player interviewed over the past few weeks has had anything positive to day about a young player. It's clear the senior players have not bought in to the rebuild.

Selfish senior players and piss weak club.

Every man for himself.

So we weren't going to get smashed with McHenry p,aying?

Everyone with a better memory than me (everyone!), has Newchurch been emergency before? Great work for a cat B rookie.

 

[1990crow]

If you're a crows fan trying to decide whether to go to this weekend's game and you see a promising young small forward on the verge of being selected (Newchurch), and you see a dud in Murphy getting selected over him... Why would you want to go?

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Murphy in. Finally we’ve got our star back in.

 

[Pugsley]

Murphy if you don't laugh you'll cry.

Whoop de do. There's no incentive for him to perform next week.

Maybe he should quit then?

What a ****ing stupid comment.

You clearly dont understand sport.

Strange take. We are getting destroyed by Melbourne no matter who on our list plays.

I think I’m crying

Yep clearly. Not selected, so should give up. That sounds like sport.

Surely being emergency for the first time tells him he's close. Fine effort from a player who everyone said was a longshot when drafted.

 

[skittlebrew]

Crouch as an emergency is great, he doesn't get the chance to rip it up in the SANFL and force the selectors hands.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Murph has kicked 2.9 this season.

 

[1990crow]

Yep clearly. Not selected, so should give up. That sounds like sport.

Newchurch had twice the game of Murphy last week, and gave him his two goals.
He's within his rights to lose motivation, he's human.

I don't think he's that soft though.

 

[feenix67]

Every man for himself.

Hearing Doedee toss off about Crouch made me physically ill.

Tell you something else, the adelaide media know we have trouble making tough decisions. Every time Matt doesn't play they start niggling. It's like they're goading the club to make a definitive statement on Matt, knowing the club doesn't have the nuts to do it.

Spent too much time kicking or handing off goals and not enough time pressuring or tackling

Newchurch Medi-Sub ?
