Preview Changes: R8 vs Essendon

[Geoffa32]

It all starts at the top. Wouldn't be surprised if Chapman, Roo and Fagan have directed Nicks to win and directed him to increase the experience in the team.

Ironically, what killed.our momentum in the Brisbane game was the Crouch brothers starting the final term in the middle.

Club thinks the older guys will get a win, I reckon the opposite is true.

Off topic a bit. Could Fages be replaced by Thomas...

Thomas is cooked.

Think longer term perhaps Adam Kelly could take over Fagan role, he seems to have the CV. And then get in a genuine AFL GM of Football.

Probably really need a Chairman with an AFL or at least strong football background to reign in Jamieson, Riccuito and Smart as well.

Could not agree more and the thing is the club will not try that as it will expose everything they have been about for the past 10 years .

Our selection panel sucks the proverbial d...

 

[Pugsley]

Uninspiring. We get what we deserve. A thrashing.

 

[LC40]

Reminds of the selection for 2017 GF though. For all intents and purposes it is basically clueless.

I'm not so worried about Schoenberg and Worrell not being named. Surely Butts and Sholl should be making an appearance on the initial team sheet though.

Agree completely, Butts and Sholl must be shaking their head in despondency.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I don’t care, it’s the principle of it. Matt played the worst midfielders game in recent memory and is rewarded with being named on the field on Thursday night while our most consistent and best mid is named on the pine. I’m not standing for this sh*t anymore and I hope others email the club tonight too.

When it's got to the point that you are pissed off at our club, you know it's dire!

Btw, I 100% agree it's bullshit that Mrouch is being picked on his rubbish form. He is a complete liability at the moment because he is unfit.

Along with Atkins, Gibbs, Mackay & Hartigan in a rebuild year when we are meant to be getting games into kids.

We want to see Schoenberg, Sholl, Davis & Worrell instead as they are the future & must be prioritised.

Seriously wtf!

 

[cleanhands]

Off to Peter Motley oval Sunday

 

[SaltPeter]

Apparently they are in the process of turning Sholl into a wingman. So he needs more development .. personally I'd probably be ok if they named him on a wing and let him run around like a head less chook while he is developing right now

 

[FAITH]

Or the pokie machine paid out big.

He's a Carlton supporter, of course he's in a good mood.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I didnt realize chappy got paid the big bucks to run the club

You need to look up a board and understand how it works

FAGES is certainly in the gun though

Yeah, he is the one in charge of corporate governance... Which oversaw Tippett-gate & the camp debacle... the 2 biggest scandals smashing our premiership windows.

What chairman lasts 2 ****-ups... when he should have gone after the 1st one.

Will go down as the worst chairman in AFC's history... what would we do for a Bob Hammond... you know a competent person.

But you wouldn't know competence if it smacked you in the face...

 

[Sidthehat]

Looking at that, reckon Atkins for McHenry will be only change. Surely if there's any game you'd blood Butts in it would be against Essendon's forwards.

 

[Murray2503]

I actually saw Gibbs at the shops not more than an hour or so ago. He looked pretty happy with life. Maybe he’d been given the good news that he’s in the team this week. Sigh.

He likely knows as Dmac does that once your in your in for good until the end of the season.

 

[BACCS]

I’ve just emailed Chapman and asked him to pass it onto whoever is on the selection panel

 

[Country_Crow]

Actually embarrassed to be a Crows member after this absolute shambles of a selection.
As hard as the last couple of years has been, the hope that a new coach was going to push youth regardless of results to set us up past this year filled me with some hope for the future.
Yeah, nah bugger that. AFC showing we are absolutely rotten from the top, deserve the laughing stock tag of the competition and what we thought was rock bottom may have been top soil.
Bloody angry, had enough.

 

[hey shorty]

The only way this is remotely acceptable is if this is the start of squad rotation.

But it isn't, and even the most positive people, even more than me, could not possibly be happy with this.

Should email Kym "Token" Ryder.

You know, the guy who is supposedley representing us members

Our development programme is total sh*t if that’s the best we can do

Nup, even I see through that

You'd start squad rotation for the 4 day break, not the 6 day break

 

[robboaustralia]

Extended bench...

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Crab people, Crab people.

We aren't going sideways... we are going backwards with these crap selections.

Reward older players with continued mediocre performances & ignore bringing in the kids.

 

[BACCS]

Greenwood is seriously making Matt look like an amateur league standard player this season, what a bloody bad call this was in hindsight

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Crouch is named starting at the first bounce.

Guaranteed lost centre clearance!
