Won't be the first time either, they've played on each other in the TAC Cup..
Probably cause we don't take it off them when it's clearly time and leave it 2-3 years too late.
VB shouldn't have been Captain in 2015, Pyke wanted to make Sloane captain in 2019 and got told no and now Sloane should have given it up this year to Doedee and instead kept it and probably keeps it next year too.

Yep... for the majority of Tex's captaincy he played very well, the guy puts this club on his back and has carried us for years, although he had 1 very down year. It will be very sad when he finally hangs up the boots, going to be a big hole to fill....
I reckon Fog is a huge chance to get dropped rightly or wrongly , wonder if they will drop one or both of Fog / Himmelberg ?
Wouldn’t surprise to see Hately play
Hopefully Murray holds his spot as I don’t think he’s done much wrong , don’t want Billy taking his spot

It wont, and if it did that would be a win this week even if we dont actually win the game. But Ross Lyon said this last night word for word, coaching is alot about self preservation and the win loss record.
Dropping Fogarty at this early stage of the year would be a totally idiotic move that I don't even think the club is dumb enough to make.
We are 2 games in. Berg needs to go forever though.
With Tex returning next week ... even if they are planning on dropping him, it would make sense to give Fog another round to see if he was just off last week. His Round 1 was good.

I would like to know who made this call.
I read somewhere that Burgess doesn't let players play unless their 100% and I was hoping this would stop us from playing our experienced guys that are injured.
It just doesn't make sense for Sloane to play, I even think he shouldn't have been playing last week after declaring he injured himself in the first quarter, but understand that he may have done so in case someone else was seriously injured before making the sub call.

Burgess let May play with a torn hamstring.
It's all about circumstances, if it were a GF I think he'd let Sloane play
Interesting to see that Port tried to rush Dixon back in - only for him to re-injure his ankle.
the only difference between what they did and what we normally do is that we would have played Dixon and the injury would have happened in the first quarter.

I still have a ticket available for the Showdown if anyone's interested. Reply here and pm. Crowies only.

So it's not just me that notices other teams getting clearances with all the time in the world and ours always seem hurried/pressured. Good to know.
Looks like both teams will have just one previous showdown medallist - M.Crouch for us, T. Boak for Port.
I'm tipping Rachele as a smokey for the medal.
Believe it or not Crows have kicked 3 more goals than Port so far in 2020.
From Showdown L where we went down by 4 points:
Known outs - Lynch, Mackay, Kelly (delisted/traded), Sloane, Seeds, McPherson (inj.)
Likely outs - Murphy, Hamill, Davis
Possible outs - Thilthorpe, Cook, Himmelberg.
Possible ins - Crouch, Dawson, Sholl, Brown, Hinge, Rachele, Gollant, Rowe, Pedlar, Soligo

If that were certain, Butters would be thinking 3 Brownlow votes and a Showdown Medal tomorrow night

Lol, the thing is Burgess is talked up around here like the next Messiah, but without players that can actually football, he won’t be making a lot of impact sadly.
The cognitive dissonance required to come up with this post is staggering.
Berg needs to go forever, yet dropping the equally useless Fog would be "totally idiotic"? That's staggering double thought right there.

Agreed
Rushing the ball forward out of packs and turning it over isn't the issue
It's doing it when not under pressure

We have no better options until tex is back next week, I think most fans would agree that at least fogarty has shown more than Himmelburg thus far.

I think it stems from that Fogarty is perceived to have talent but isn't fit enough / applying himself enough
Whereas Hberg is seen as not having anything

**** me….if this is the ins, melt city in here tonight.
We've gone round the houses on this debate, on why the two players are not in the same situation.
