We need benny right now.. Hes our best midfielder..

and therein lies the problem.

None of us should be thinking ben is anywhere near a longterm option.

Hes a stop gap for the next two years whilst (we hope) guys like Taylor, Hately, Shoey, Soligo, Rachele, Pedlar etc etc and any other blokes we can trade in or draft get up to speed and take over from our current main go to midfield of ben/Laird/Sloane/crouch..

But if in two years from now ben is still our best mid.. I’m afraid we are “the last decade of Carlton” type levels of f’ed..

Whilst you begrudgingly acknowledge that he’s our best midfielder it’s still him you have a crack at most of the time.
Sure Keays ****ed the kick but what about crouches game or Sloanes game.
What about all the other mistakes we made in the game.
The Keays bashing just isn’t needed, especially when he’s in our top 3 contributors currently.

 

[FR0GGY]

Covid management plans are still required for events expecting 1,000+ people.

It was supposed to change to 3000 before omicron hit, not sure if they changed it or it just got shelved.
SA HEALTH need to **** off out of events.

 

[WAG]

I saw Neil Craig walking down Melbourne Street this morning. Was looking fit. I know he is 66 but could probably fit him in the stacked Midfield this week.

To be fair, he's probably quicker and has better decision making capability than Crouch.

AO have always been slow on the uptake, remember the poor people at the cricket in 35 degrees outside with masks.
It was the only oval in the country that had that insane requirement.

They would have included whatever SA Health required to maximise their attendance under the CMP

 

[Cap]

Almost guaranteed huge melt incoming....

I got my Crows Mismatch Beer.

It's in the freezer cooling down

 

[MRB37]

Some more than alarming signs now with this rebuild and the messaging come from Nicks publicly.

He seems to not know how to progress forward now and I don't see him lasting last this season.

My view is he really wasted 2020 and 21.

I think he did OK in those years. The issue is he needs to take another step forward on developing more players and he won't make the call.

Pizza & red wine for me tonight.

Keays was faaaaaaaaaar better than Smith SChoenberg Brown most others Laird still kicks to the clouds Keays by far and away one of the most loved players we have bigger problems Berry this week please can;t have both Murphy and McHenry and Murphy for first time ever won me over McHenry past two weeks

Players who get plenty of the ball will have some mistakes.

It's whether the good far outweighs the bad, which is does easily for Keays & Laird.

Pizza & red wine for me tonight.

Got a bottle of Max's for afterwards

Not the best , but reliable

 

[Mutineer]

Oh look.. the number 1 ticket holder of the Ben Keays apologists club has arrived…

What are your thoughts on Benny’s kick into the forward line in that last play of the game agaisnt essendon Mutineer?…

So… Was it Tex’s fault it went straight onto the chest of a bombers player and nowhere near a crows player?.. or was it Himmelbergs?…

Way way way more ticketholders in the Ben Keays cheer squad than ticketholders in your shitcan Ben Keays cheer squad.

Maybe take a hint that not too many people are interested in your continual down playing of Ben Keays input to our team both on and off field.

and Footy?

Cant really go wrong?

Sloane and Brown really hurt us last week with their shanked kicks in the game.

Brown caused a 12pt turnaround when we led in the 3rd. Thats was the game moment right there. We had possession and was moving forward of centre.

Just a question of which I pull out from my 20ish dozen bottles... though I'm still well behind kirky

Yes, those 2 along with O'Brien were the most disappointing for me, particularly as experienced players.

Shame the Port game isn't tonight. Watching them lose has been an enjoyable way to start the last few weekends.

 

[1970crow]

It's going to be interesting. 2 hours till melt down?

I've got my beer in the fridge to assist with the coping

Committee meeting to tonight from 6pm. Shitty as shit.

Death, taxes and people unfairly shitting on Keays’ impact

Well youre in for a treat, check my post on the Non-Crows Discussion.

Port to get their first win in R11 is paying $51

ROB was as good as a witches hat last weekend, in fact a witches hat would have stopped Draper kicking the sealer.

 

[Scorpus]

Mitch Hinge is not injured, he's been dropped and named as an emergency

 

[GROTTO]

Glory be, McHenry survives.

 

[MRB37]

Surprised Berry got the nod over Hately, but either one was expected. Rowe a bit still to miss, but Cook starting is a good thing.

Stiff.
