Preview Changes: R3 vs Port Adelaide

[Scorpus]

IN:
Murphy, Laird, Frampton

OUT:
Sloane (adductor), Pedlar, Murray, Soligo (medi-sub)

Frampton replacing Berg and starting down back (which he was good at towards the end of last season), with Murray up forward to change things up isn't a move I'm totally against (would be nice if McAsey can string some decent games together and replace Frampton). Would be a nice addition to Murray's game if he can develop into a swingman, a bit like Balta at Richmond. Did Murray train with the forwards at all over the off season? Has anyone heard anything from the coaches recently that suggests this could be a realistic possibility? Murphy replacing Soligo and starting as the sub is fine with me, just as long as Pedlar keeps his spot in the best 22.

I'm not against dropped Berg and Fog and only play Gollant and Murray as forward talls. Fill the forward line with smalls and run them ragged.

As a point of interest similar to this point, last Saturday I saw Collingwood on three or four occasions kick the chaos ball into their forward 50. Degoey mainly.

If we can't take contested marks, this is very interesting alternative. Especially if you're stacked with smalls...

 

[Gtowncrow]

Yeah i actually recorded it and uploaded it to youtube. Here it is:

This is funny. Love it!

They have played Murray forward briefly before, so it's not totally out of the realm this could happen

That was fairly obvious unfortunately earlier in the week with the comments coming from the coaches

 

[Bearded Clam]

The thought of even watching this game just makes me do a face like someone farted.

Is anyone tempted just to give it a miss?

I’m actually finding some of it mildly amusing..

Watching our “gun” midfielders kick it to punters in the crowd more often than to team mates down field.. or watching them handball it to the feet of (or a stationery) ROB.. or watching them kick it into the man on the mark.. or watching them kick it halfway to the moon.. or watching them kick it directly onto the chest of opposition players.. or watching them run around in circles.. is kinda funny.

And whats becoming even more hilarious by the day.. is some of the punters on here still continuing to blame the young forwards for this!..

Its comedy gold.. so, unless the missus is feeling up for some tomorrow night, I will definitely be watching!..

Imagine if there was a way where you can get a posters posts on Bigfooty read out loud while youre driving.

I probably would swerve off the road into a tree with some comments posted.

I would like to try it

Cool the Clam xx Many woman don’t find this amusing

High possession, inside midfielders turning the ball over? Unprecedented.

Funny doesnt cripps, danger turn the ball over ?

Burns, on Wednesday:
"“If we want to be the team that’s consistently playing good footy and playing finals footy down the track, you’ve just got to be able to perform for four quarters under pressure (like the Showdown),”".

Judging by the first two games (a little over a quarter of 'good footy' played), the Crows are years away from performing for four quarters under pressure --- and the "pressure" they've faced so far is from Freo and the Pies, ffs.

Somebody, please, tell'im he's dreamin'.

 

[Shaunbkk]

The run around like a headless chicken role?

Just chase after people go missing for a half and kick a great goal every three games

Freo are one of the better pressure teams in the comp, their whole gameplan revolves around defensive pressure. Their issue is an ability to put a decent score on the board. We also performed under pressure for 4 quarters against the premiership team last season, so the group is capable, it's just not consistent enough.

The bigger question is whether someone else deserves to be promoted

Thilthorpe

... but I can't find a 2nd, if Berg & Fog are both to be dropped (as they both deserve).

Next week:
OUT: Berg, Fog
IN: TT, Tex

 

[CrowBloke]

Long bomb target probably.

So, the same role as all other forwards in the side?

 

[CrowBloke]

If it's Frampton for Himmelberg I'm cool with it, that is not melt worthy.

If Frampton comes in for ANYBODY, this will be me;

Replacing Himmelberg (hopeless) with Frampton (hopeless-er) would be very Crows, though.

 

[Thesharks]

What’s the deal with Milera?

 

[CrowBloke]

How does Frampron help us in a physical game?

Coaches keep talking up his aggression, I've rarely seen it on game day

I heard he kicked a crane-grasping vending machine once, recently.
Didn't get his little fluffy toy.

 

[DJ75]

Is this a joke? Murphy?? Why? Is this a ‘Milera’ style reward selection? Because that worked so well.
I’m pretty much done with how dumb this club is

 

[texanmike]

hearing Nicks interview, im all but certain Himmelburg has retained his spot, **** this guy.

Lol dropping players before they've even kicked a ball.

Next week we have 2x replacement options. This week there's only 1 (I don't count the option of moving Murray forward). Next week we have the luxury of dropping both donkeys. This week, the best we could do would be dropping 1 - and TT apparently needs another run in the SANFL this week.

I have zero faith in either Fog or Berg performing tomorrow night, justifying selection for R4.

You have zero faith in Berg too, so don't give me shit about writing players off before the game has even started.

 

[DJ75]

Are we tanking?

 

[MRB37]

Sent back down to the SANFL to get match conditioning.

I suspect Nick's is a Russian spy
