Preview Changes Vs Collingwood Sunday 25th June.

[crows dude]

Sounds like no changes listening to Nicks. Maybe the sub changes as Ned may need extra game time but he could be sub again as he does it really well.

Great point. I don't recall the last time a single three letter word made me feel that much better.

 

[Brasher]

Quiet thread for a Thursday.

We're in a post-bye slump. Hope the players aren't

I just hope they spent the time remembering how to get to Melbourne.

I'm not really sure where he goes
But he’s fast and he’s neat and he tries to compete
Which is all Nicksy wants I suppose.”

Pick us a team, BF changes thread
Pick us a team tonight
Well, we're now in the eight unexpectedly
And they’ve got us playin’ alright

Now Matt on the list is a friend of Tex
He picks up cheap stats constantly
And he's quick to kick blindly, or to handball behind thee
But there's some place that he'd rather be
He says, "Tex, I believe this is killing me"
As a Pie ran away from his chase
"Well, I'm sure that I could be All-Australian
If I just had more than one pace"

Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
La-la di-di-da da-dum

Now Strachan is a backup ruck specialist
Who never got time in the side
And he's talkin' with Parnell, who's still in the SANFL
And probably will be for life
And the forward line is setting up zone defense
As the midfielders slowly get boned
Yes, they're guarding a space they call corridor
But it's better than leading to Sloane.

It's a pretty good thread for a bye weekend
And the moderator gives me a like
'Cause he knows it's BigFooty they've been comin' to read
To forget about life (as a Crows supporter) for a while
And the banter sounds like a school debate
And apostrophe’s just seem to appear
And they sit at the bar and dream Murph was like Jar
And say man could this be our year?

The absolute best post on BF ever.
Very clever.
I laughed all the way through.

Geez, and I thought I was bored....

 

[Dangarman]

Damo and Sarah Ollie on AFL Daily this morning spoke about the Crows playing 'Bazball' at home, but being not so good away. Played a sound bite from Nicks talking about the smorgas board buffet lunches and had a go at him for making that excuse totally ignoring the fact that all the away venues were god forsaken hell holes. (In the case of the R1 loss, it even felt like hell being there)
He reckons as a journo he barracks for the 'story' which would be a Crows win, but doesn't have the faith to tip them.

Well bugger me...

Improved outside game will be well suited to MCG. Collingwood probably win anyway.

Absolutely top shelf posting. Up there with the transcripts, and MS Paint “handball here not here” ones.

Someone spiked his water.

 

[Interstater]

Annoyed that your game isn't on TV until 3:30pm, especially with rumours that Collinorwood will be wearing their "swooping magpie".

Will have to listen on 5aa and then later watch you kick the bejeebus out of them, allowing us to stay top on the ladder whilst shoving their swooping magpies up their arses.

 

[GreyCrow]

Harry Schoenberg, Lachlan Gollant and Brayden Cook come into the squad after being emergencies in the Crows’ last game against West Coast in Round 13.

The trio have been named on the extended bench.

Ned McHenry, who was the substitute against the Eagles a fortnight ago, also features on the extended bench and rounds out the additions

Howe and Elliot back for the pies.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Well… What a suprise…

So all the spuds got their golden tickets renewed for another 3-4 weeks in the west coast game..

back slaps all round for defeating the worst most undermanned team assembled for an AFL game in a long time at our home ground.

we’ll get flogged.. then it’ll be rinse and repeat next weekend at AO against Norf.. golden tickets renewed again.. no changes for the rest of the season boys!

Anyone know what Elliot is paying to kick 5?

 

[aabp1978]

Out of interest, and a genuine question, but who would have been dropped and who would have come in? Personally I would have just McHenry and Murphy out for Schoenberg and McAdam / Gollant.

Mcadam in… murph out

schoenberg in… mchenry out

sholl out (just so soft).. cook in

I’d also be giving Sloane a longer rest and refresh with another week off. So swap him out for a younger player like Berry. Give the younger player some experience of playing at the G.. sloane doesnt need it.. he wont be there for our next finals campaign at the G.. and we barely ever get a chance to give our young players that experience of playing at G. Dont reckon half of our squad wouldve ever played there before!

 

[craig crowing]

Sounds like no changes listening to Nicks. Maybe the sub changes as Ned may need extra game time but he could be sub again as he does it really well.

Why does he do it well.
Really what impact has he had in any game apart from running madly around doing usual nothing,
apart from giving away frees or turnover.

Dont disagree with Sholl..and yep, Cook would be a good replacement. Depending on how the season goes I wouldnt mind seeing Borlase play. Otherwise, not sure there are many (besides those named) that deserve to step up atm...

It just really shit me that a few heads should've rolled after that Suns game..

but you just knew they make no unforced changes and use the impending thrashing of WC at AO as a massive backslapping/golden ticket renewing exercise..

Michalanney on the extended bench. They better not get too cute and drop him rested for this game especially after the bye
