Just for shits and giggles, let’s start this now.

Surely it will be:

Out:
Cook, Nankervis, Borlase

In:
Murphy, Smith, Butts


Schoenberg will really be pushing for selection too.

McHenry to be elevated to a leadership group position with the long term injury to Milera, and then signed up until 2028 in a major coup for the club, with Ned turning his back on offers from several bush league C grade sides in need of someone to play a non-statistical role.

Dowling really needs to put together a solid 16 weeks of sanfl form before being considered.

Curtin might see some game time after the bye if club legends Borlase, Butts, Himmelberg and Hamill all get injured simultaneously. Wouldn’t want to actually play him because that leads to mental illness. We’ve learnt you see.

Fellow 2023 first rounders Edwards and Ryan to continue plying their respective trades in the SANFL. The club has no idea what those trades actually are, but hopefully the kids develop because all you can do is cross your fingers really.

Sholl to play every game for the rest of the season because every side needs a 65kg, treacle slow, can’t kick 50m, can’t tackle, can’t break tackles, no evasive ability, head dropping, soft as butter wingman. It’s a key to success.

Keep elite first round talent Chayce Jones in at all costs. One day he might get one coaches vote. Probably not though.

Keep Himmelberg in, hopefully forever. Who needs Petty or Curtin when you have a proven swingman of this stature?

You try telling Lachie Murphy he’s playing in the twos. Silky skills, consistency, leadership. We found him in the souvenir shop you know. Who needs drafts.

Oh and how could I forget the imminent return of fearless leader Brodie Smith. He’s just played such amazing footy in the last 6 years that the club was left with no option but to elevate him to the leadership group, and boy oh boy hasn’t he responded. Opponents wilt in fear whenever he approaches. Proven big game player. Stands up in all the big moments.


But fear not everyone, a bottom 4 finish will secure us a prized top 4 draft pick, which Hamish won’t completely fk up at all. Study the family, not the quality of play or mental fortitude.

And I’m sure the 10 year deals we’re flinging around will really appeal to high quality players who have designs on being part of a successful club, coached by a proven coach, and playing alongside a great playing list, led by amazing leaders.

Dowling is the traveling emergency this week. So he will not be selected the following week because he misses the Sanfl game.

I just hope an Out is Nicks.

I think Nankervis and Cook wont last in the side too much longer. Nicks is just wanting his cavalry of Schoenberg, Murphy to be fit and then we will have Murray and Thilthorpe in later in the year.

5 day break for us.
You don't count playing against Norf as a game, we'll be fresh and fit, Port are banged up.

Showdown victory is just the win Nicks needs to lead us back to the finals this year - woohoo

In reality, if we can't beat Port next week, given their likely outs, then it really shows where we are for all to see. Although Nicks will talk his usual inane rubbish post match

The best satire is hard to distinguish from reality. Being able to pick changes ahead of the game being played is an indictment on the club.

And I'm sick of logging onto the Crows board and seeing '(insert fringe spud here) re-signed until 2030'.
