Preview Changes Rnd 11 vs Brisbane Bears, Sunday twilight at AO

[CrowBloke]

I thought [EH] would have been chanting at the bit yesterday

I'd have hoped he'd be champing at the bit, for sure.

What he seemed to be chanting was "I-think-I-can, I-hope-I-can".
He was selected as depth for Thilthorpe, but he's proved he isn't. Again.

 

[DJ75]

Doedee - Butts - Worrell
MM - Murray - Milera

That’s how I would shape our defence.

No Smith?

 

[CrowBloke]

HIMMELBERG!!!!! but yes he does play like mouldy cheese.

Apt.
He stinks.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

No Smith?

I’d have him on the wing or swap Smith for Milera

 

[Pugsley]

Apt.
He stinks.

I have a way with words. Hence my Keays post a few weeks ago.

Humble, as well.

I'll bite --- what was it?

 

[1990crow]

Nicks won't drop Milera whose Gold Pass was extended after last week's (good) game. Milera will wilt again vs the pressure of Brisbane, Gold Pass invoked, then will play ok again vs GCS and WCE.

Sloane will probably be rested against WCE, or even GCS and WCE. Nicks will be looking for as much experience as possible vs Brisbane, as in the Geelong game.

I thought Parnell was ok yesterday --- didn't star, but ok.

You'd retain Berry? Why, please?
How about McHenry back in?

I think Nankervis is a more talented player than Parnell. We need to find 22 players who you can trust will win you tough games.

Berry replaces Sloane, we've seen enough over the journey Berry has a future.
McHenry to sub. He's only getting a game if there are injuries or if he can prove he's a better option than Murphy.

 

[crows dude]

Outs: Hinge, Murphy, Himmelberg

Ins: Doedee, Walker, Berry

Missing an in. You have 3 players out of the 23 but only two in. Berry played as sub.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

He was great this week in a game that should have suited his lack of athletic ability.

12 touches, 38 mètres gained and 3 changes of undies from panicking. No elite standout attribute.

He was poor

On that basis we be lucky to field a team next week though if everyone held to those standards

This!
Rules out Schoenberg, Sholl, Milera, Gollant, Hately.

Berry replaces Sloane, we've seen enough over the journey Berry has a future.

But Berry's form is dismal; poor kicking, and has lost his tackling mojo.
Someone suggested it was VB's fault. I'm no fan of VB as mids Coach, but Berry was looking so much better last year.
Maybe a tough BUrgess regime has taken the sting out of Schoenberg and Berry?

I’m skeptical on Berry, I’d rather give Dowling a shot at the moment to see what he’s made of

 

[Scorpus]

No Smith?

I'd have Smith and Milera competing for one spot, to be replaced by Redman if we land him.

[cleanhands]

How do we point the finger when so many played badly

 

[Pugsley]

Humble, as well.

I just unleashed on his selfishness and overall lack of footy nous.
I'm very humble, thank you

Keays being dropped is a pipe dream sadly.

 

[jimvic]

If Thilthorpe isn’t ready just do a make shift 2nd ruck as Himmelberg is an impediment

He’s had a few good games in his career but he’s not even playing good sanfl footy at moment … story of his career - inconsistent

certainly Himmelberg's performance has put Filthys into a new more positive light

 

[jimvic]

Gollant missed two easy goals, nothing to do with delivery.
Many questions were asked of the Crows yesterday and Gollant is not one of the answers.

Unfortunately I think you are right about Gollant

 

[jimvic]

Berry replaces Sloane, we've seen enough over the journey Berry has a future.

do you think Berry has a future? Stinking it up at the moment

 

[1990crow]

do you think Berry has a future? Stinking it up at the moment

I think he's in a form slump. He will get it back similar to Jones.

 

[1970crow]

Probably just Doedee for Hinge and Walker back in for Gollant.

this is almost certain, add Ned to sub. "The preferred 22 deserves a chance to bounce back" will be something I'll read a few times as I progress through the pages.

 

[1970crow]

Nicks' comment last week regarding Worrell was that he hadn't had enough match time. He's played a total of 0 minutes since then so I doubt he comes in.

He was also hesitant to say Thilthorpe would be ready too, so put a line through him.

his fitness won't be right until one of Butts, Murray or Doedee misses and even then maybe not.

 

[1970crow]

Himmelberg is our "Oh, is that guy still on a list?" guy. Every squad has one.

We just insist on playing ours.

we're wedded to a structure, performance means nothing.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

How do we point the finger when so many played badly

Need to judge players on their block of last 4 weeks more than 1 game.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

do you think Berry has a future? Stinking it up at the moment

Hasn't had a decent set of games without interruption this year.

Crazy to write him off.
