In - Out
Smith - Sholl - needs a recharge
Worrell - Frampton - can't defend
Strachan - O'Brien - hardly marks & a liability
McAsey - Gollant - needs a break, Thilthorpe if available.
McHenry - Schoenberg - mind elsewhere

B: Jones, Butts, Doedee
HB: Smith, Worrell, Hinge
C: Cook, Keays, Dawson
HF: McHenry, Walker, Murphy
F: Rachele, Himmelberg, McAdam
R: Strachan, Berry, Laird
I: Brown, Hately, Hamill, McAsey

Gives us flexibility to use talls forward/back as needed.
Rachele also needs a rest , he looks exhausted even though still one of our better players , 1 week off to freshen up then into a forward / mid role for a block of 6 weeks
 
hilarious reading all these ins and outs suggestions and seeing all these defenders and forwards like himmelburg, gollant, frampton, rachele being named along with a couple of the “less than 50 gamers”..

and yet not one word about the insipid shit we just saw from our ”leaders” in the midfield in Laird and Keays.. they get to waltz on through to next week as easy as their opponents waltz on past them to get 74 inside 50’s today..

Laird doenst deserve another game when he dishes that utter garbage up two weeks in a row... he’s the worst “gets 30+ touches a game” midfielder in the comp. A total and utter fuvkn hack.

he and keays got 31 touches each today and about 5 of them all up were any good. thats before you even take into account their direct opponents had an absolute ****ing field day.

Just when are the sleepwalkers in here gonna wake up to this shit?.. and stop blaming our poor forwards and defenders whilst giving these guys a free pass week after week..

SEVENTY FOUR INSIDE 50’s TO THE BLUES FOR FUVKS SAKE!!!!…. A club record apparently. how long have Carlton been around?

If he needs a break, then Rowe can come in.

Need to consider Parnel for Brown soon too & rejig defensive roles... particularly once Smith has returned.

Hahaha it’s not Keays fault , we’d lose by 140 today without him . He’s the only one with Berry applying super pressure

We also don’t have any players to replace them with is the problem

It’s the worst list of midfielders of any club

We can go thru them one by one and it’s scary bad

Outside of those you mention

Pedlar - can’t run past a couple of efforts and needs at least another pre season , likely 2


Berry - very happy with him

Soligo - played v well sanfl but is small , only ready for outside roles

M crouch - pass . Leave him in sanfl

Schoenberg - having an ordinary season , keep him in side though

Hately - no good . Looks pedestrian . No weapons

It’s dire

Who else we got ?

Haha it’s not Keays fault
 
Parnell must play.

So must Soligo who is actually a good ball user and decision maker

Strachan must come in for ROB who has stunk the place up. He had 50 hit outs plus uesterday
Sure it's time to give Strachan a crack but 50+ hit outs against West's Cleeland a SANFL reserves level Ruckman should have little to do with that decision. Ask Magma who's a Westies diehard supporter about Cleeland.
 
Out: Rachele, Murphy, Cook, O'Brien, Brown
In: Worrell, Soligo, Strachan, Parnell, Rowe, McPherson (sub included)

Major changes needed. We need to bring back the competitive beast in the side. People willing to fight for spots. Right now, we are playing like most of our side doesn't fear losing their spots.
 
If he needs a break, then Rowe can come in.

Need to consider Parnel for Brown soon too & rejig defensive roles... particularly once Smith has returned.
Yep Chayce is playing like the no 1 lockdown now , not much offence but hard to play on . Chayce can step up to brown role , and Parnell as a more attacking option and brown sanfl

Prob wouldn’t debut Parnell against the powerful lions though, would wait for an easier forward line week after
 
In: Soligo, Parnell, McHenry, Smith, Strachan, Fogarty and Rowe

Out: O’Brien, Gollant, Himmelberg, Brown, Schoenberg, Sholl and Rachele

Gollant and Rachele will be players but need a spell. All the other outs have been down badly for a minimum 2-3 games in a row. Fogarty gets a run because we literally have no other options

So here’s my live experience of Crows games at AO this year

Moved our seats from the top level to on the flat. Very nice view

First home game, 35 degrees, we bake
Second game, 35 degrees, we give it a miss
Third game, the Showdown, last minute withdrawal for family reasons
Fourth game, decent weather, a belting from GWS
Fifth game, we’re playing Brisbane.

Holy feckin shiteballs

He cannot be any worse than ROB today who was embarrassed by the Carlton ruckmen

Strauchnie has been in good form all year and deserves his chance

Taylor. Injured but likely back this week. Nankervis once he puts some size on is a chance to possibly play mid. I think we may have to try and find a mid such as what we did with Laird. Maybe try Murphy, at least he has speed.

What I would do:

Out:
O’Brien, Himmelberg, Frampton, Sholl, Brown, Murphy (inj), Rowe

In: Strachan, Thilthorpe, Murray, Parnell, Smith, Soligo

Sub: Davis



What will likely happen:

Out: Frampton, Murphy, Cook, Schoenberg, Rowe

In: Murray, McHenry, Smith, Crouch

Sub: Soligo
When TF does Josh Worrell get a crack then?

Murray has been woeful the last 2 weeks in the SANFL and it's reported Covid has significantly knocked Thilthorpe around.
 
theres no sanfl game next week..

he stays in… we need to play him.
**** me!

So Pedlar potentially gets another whole week off

It would be genuinely challenging to come up with something as stupid
