Preview Changes vs Crows

[Daz]

No, he played the full game against Melbourne and was injured in the Crows night match.

His last game was against Melbourne.

I think we are tanking.. well... something akin to tanking, without actually understanding how tanking works.

Good luck for tomorrow guys... well, i wish enough luck that you don't get screwed by dodgy umpiring decisions and no injuries.

 

[justroyal]

Really, really suprised! I will literally be under blankets though if I see Turner come across a Thompson bump

 

[muttley45]

Drew should be able to exploit Rutten, surely

 

[Dan]

Wood doesn't have photos

Not going to wish us luck for Saturday?

For some reason it didn't click in my mind that tomorrow is Friday.

Wishful thinking and all that

 

[B4Bear]

How would the LTI list look hypothetically to allow that?

Horrific, because it has already been to down right ****ing horrible this year.

Wood doesn't have photos

FFS I'm so sick of this Wood is getting unfairly left out nonsense. As many people at the club (including Mason himself) have said, he is close but he has areas to work on before he will get a a game. Many people laughed at Brad's comments about Petrie's forward pressure earlier this year but he has been fantastic (particularly in the last month) in this area and should set the standard for our big 3. If Mason can't do better than that (realistically he should be better than petrie at this stuff due to his mobility) then he shouldn't get a game

 

[Jay-Z]

On topic, great changes. Hansen is a huge in and Turner in for Boomer is a fantastic choice. Also glad to see MacMillan and Mullet made to wait another week

Hansen in, push Atley up onto a wing for Wells.

Turner in as a direct replacement for Boomer.

So we lose 2 outside runners and bring in another tall in Hansen? Hmm...

There's one reason I want Mason in the team: He would have Spidey senses to know when the ball's coming for him.

Geezus, Crouch Jr is more hard done by than Mason Wood.

Whatever, I called it early in the year... Wood is this year's Kennedy

Except Ayden got next to no mention by the club in the media, whereas Mason has been many times

 

[dus]

Good changes under the circumstances.

Happy to see Turner back. A couple more games like his last one and the kid will get to play in his first final.

Lachie will be a rock down there. Wood will have to wait, there is no spot for him atm.

 

[shinboner magic]

Think we are top heavy in the backline but options are lacking.

Turner onto dangerfield

just watched a replay of Werribee game from last week and wood wood was good-if we need a tall he should be in.


Hope we come out on fire

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

I will concede Wood is still behind the main three, even if Black in particular needs to get some form back. Happy for him to have his eyes on the prize for several weeks now.

And so far the club's opinion has been superior to that of angry supporters. After all ... where is he now?

Ben Ross got picked up by the Hawks a few years after we dropped him and Kennedy can't be 25 yet, can he? He's on the good side of 30 - i.e., several years away.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Well done Brad!

His skills are appalling.
