Preview Changes: R3 vs Fremantle

[FullyBigKPro]

So we couldn’t pull off Plan A,B or C with Stewart and there’s no one but Berry that pays the price?

Mate - its like my signature... The old Craigisms have firmly entrenched themselves into the AFC establishment,

"'You don't need a plan B, just execute plan A better..."

 

[Pugsley]

Out : Coaching and selection panel

In: Backbone and new coaching panel.

AFC taking insipid to a new level.

 

[FR0GGY]

Would be nice to have a sub you genuinely want to come on and not be missing any game time, however we’ve got a about 5 players you want as the sub and for us to get no injuries.

 

[CrowBloke]

Does scholls performances warrant a return?

BF: NO.

Nicks & Co: hell yeah.

Is Berry a travelling Emergency? He needs games, not a holiday.

 

[El Doederino]

So he we are again, so if Murphy sucks again, we’ve put up with 3 s**t games from him at least before we drop him.

As I’ve said numerous times, when we drop him annually it’s not after one bad game, we have to suffer a number of poor games from him before we give him the arse.

As for Nank, shows last year he can play. The side sucks and he can’t get a game, like WTF.

Murphy will get the Mackay treatment when dropped.

Will be a sub or emergency not playing SANFL

And straight back in when Pedlar loses the man-on-man battle with Luke Ryan

 

[Pugsley]

He's had more Chances than the Monopoly board.

It's all fun and games until you land on Mayfair with a hotel.

 

[ams4crows]

Drugs Are Bad Mackay?
Time for a Nicks transcript please to pick us back up.

The only thing that'll bring me joy this Easter....

 

[Billy_01]

Berry was shit and we definitely had too many inside mids but gosh these changes are uninspiring. Are we just going to recycle through the same 25 players all season

 

[dogs105]

Hinge is one of only three players who takes the game on and knows how to run with a footy in hand.

Still needs to play better than he has so far this year

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Does scholls performances warrant a return?

Better balanced team than with Berry in the side as now can use Soligo, Rachele & Rankine more through the middle.

... but really should have been Nankervis coming in as has far more upside.

We needed to make a statement with changes dropping poor performing senior players, but we predictably made minimal changes.

 

[Wozza24]

Why is everyone here so angry? We should all be accustomed to the club's awful 'back the boys' team selection policy by now.

Without trivializing domestic violence, we keep coming back because we love them and think they’ll change.

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

You sound defeated

If you check my comments from previous weeks;

1) I have had Nankervis in my 22 from Round One.

2) I would also have had Curtin in from Round 1 providing he was fully fit. Imagine playing a Kid who was not fully fit, he gets injured and I can predict the comments from the Tools and Trolls.

3) I have consistently said that Murphy is not in our best 22. I would have loved to bring in Taylor but sadly he is out with concussion. I really, really hope that Cook doesn’t have his usual 14 disposal, I sale of candy game tomorrow. I would love Dowling, Bond, Ryan or Edwards to demand selection tomorrow.

4) We have a group of players who are not AFL quality (Borlase, Himmelberg, Parnell, Hamill, Sholl, Berry, Strachan, Burgess, Murphy, McHenry) and probably never will be in our best 22. Then we have Brodie Smith and Rory Sloane (and at some stage Tex) who have passed the twilight of their careers.

5) We need to find some quality from Curtin, Nankervis, Taylor, Dowling, Bond, Edwards, Ryan and Gallagher. I have my fingers crossed.

 

[El Doederino]

Its pretty disgusting for a rebuilding side that Dowling and Bond seem nowhere near it

 

[Peter Doherty]

It's like Nicks lives in a bizarro world where this group hss already delivered him 3 flags.

You owe them nothing, ****in idiot.

 

[moses]

Uninspiring changes. We are frustratingly risk adverse.

 

[Peter Doherty]

The moment he pulls that lever, where he makes significant changes to the team, he's shitscared that the relationship will be changed forever with the players.

The tragic thing is, he's going to lose trust from the players down this path anyway.

Grow some balls.

What message is he sending to the players?

 

[MsTopG]

Lol.

 

[kirky]

* this, ******* scholl after 1 week?

Don’t you know he got two not one Rising Star nominations?

He must be good.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Seriously.. hope we get flogged.

We need to get to 0-6 or 0-7 and hope the pressure starts on these incipid flogs in charge at our our patheticaly run club.

 

[CrowBloke]

Good to see us finally put a line through Berry. That experiment is over, just like Scholl.
What?

Sholl is the Crows' poltergeist.

He's ba-a-a-a-ack!!

 

[CrowBloke]

And I bet Curtin won't debut till May....

... 2025?

Acrually, I'm only half-joking; there are PLENTY of players in the pecking order ahead of him .

 

[FR0GGY]

Don’t you know he got two not one Rising Star nominations?

He must be good.

Because he didn’t cement his spot he still qualified the next year

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

What message is he sending to the players?

That he's now comfortable as coach & the players in the team can get comfortable too as he's not going to make many changes regardless of performance.

It's like the Australian cricket team... good luck getting into the side!
