This. This is Crows circa2019. Its ****ing infuriating.
Betts is still lightening compared to Stengle.
Disagree. Maybe his straight line speed is not amazing, but he has enough zip and agility to play at this level. 2 games 5 goals - he stays.
Poise is a great trait. Poise does you no good when you have to chase a bolting defender. One of Eddies greatest assets is his ability to remain in every contest and he's been able to do that because he's always been quick. His chase in our forward line has been fantastic over the years. I don't see Stengle has that pace to add that important aspect to his game. I'll be ecstatic to be proven wrong.

Just interested to see who gets dropped.
Best we stop papering over cracks for the rest of the year and let the catharsis take hold.
This ridiculous facade about clinging on to play finals is infuriating.
Play Jones/McHenry/Scholl and whoever else has some semblance of talent.

Isn't McHenry still injured? afl.com have him at 2-4weeks out still.
You only need one totally rapid small forward in there, quite a simple solution really - get someone with that sort of pace to play alongside Stengle. From what I have seen, Stengle will get you 45+ goals a year.
Anyone else thinking Seedsman should be on shaky ground? (I haven't kept up with every post in the thread)
Flown under the radar like so many others.
Been rotten for weeks. Will kick a 60m goal on the run then we all go Seeeeeeeed.....and forget he’s been rubbish

Totally agree. He's had about 2 decent games since being back from injury. Sloane's not far behind him TBH
I think the difference between Murphy and Stengle is that Stengle knows how to be a forward. He's not lightening quick, but he knows where to go and where to crumb to get goals. The biggest type of forward pressure you can put on is on is hitting the scoreboard.

Seedsman and Atkins are have to be the biggest pair of front running non tackling wingers in the game atm. Seed only stays in becasue at least he kicks goals against decent sides.
I don't really care who gets picked for the weekend ... I'm ambivalent for the first time in a loooong time.
Unless there is a plan to prepare the team for winning finals who gives a rats clacker?
We played OTTEN last week my friends. Great team man, but he must have been embarrassed to be taking the spot of a young vibrant up and comer.
If I see more of:
JENKINS
MACKAY
DOUGLAS
OTTEN
ATKINS
And none of:
JONES
HIMMELBERG
FOGARTY
STENGLE
SCHOLL
BUTTS
I'll be less than shocked.

What I think will happen:
In: Douglas, Gibbs, Betts
Out: Murphy, Wilson, Walker
What I'd do:
In: Jones, Fogarty, Betts, Scholl, Gallucci, Himmelberg
Out: Wilson, McKay, Otten, Kelly, Walker, Seedsman
I think we increase speed, desperation and a better tall / small balance.

Dropping the RAT is a must. The difference in performance between his good games (often against bottom six teams) and his bad games is like the Grand Canyon. Our long term wingers are Jones and McHenry and since Ned is injured I wouldn’t mind seeing Chayce and Ben Davis on the wings this week.

Reckon a "name" gets dropped tonight. By that I mean a rusted on 22 member like Atkins or Seedsman.
Rowe just named the teams..
Think he said
Fog, Betts, Douglas, Gibbs in.
Out: Stengle, Jenkins, Wilson, Seedsman

Wilson, Seedsman, Stengle, Jenkins out, Douglas, Betts, Fogarty, Gibbs in - so says Rowe on 5AA
Gibbs, Betts fair enough
Fogarty - about f**ing time
Douglas - where do we line up to hit the selectors
Wilson, Stengle - WTF??? - give them a bloody fair go in the team
Seedsman - bang out of form and i think that knee of his has inhibited his running and a full rest is needed
Jenkins - meh
Gibbs, Betts fair enough
Fogarty - about f**ing time
