Preview Changes vs Nth Melbourne

[Geoffa32]

Smith out would have been perfect to debut Curtin.

On the wing/HB.



They really do see Curtin as a key defender don't they?

FFS.

[Hbanger]

Even GWS has played two debutants this year and that team is stacked

They have a decent coach though.

 

[huludicidal]

How can roo not see how rotten this club is.

At what stage of life did anyone even begin to think that Mark Ricciuto was remotely capable of such a role?

Just because he was a great footy player doesn’t mean he isn’t a complete moron.

Wonder if Dusty will run the Tigers in a few years. Maybe Sammy Powell-Pepper will take the helm at Port. Yes, those things are ridiculous. No, they are absolutely not more ridiculous than Ricciuto being the AFC’s Football Director.

Born and raised in Melbourne yet here I am supporting this basket case.

Born in Adelaide, raised in Melbourne and live here by preference. Being a Crows supporter for the last 29 years here has been rough.

 

[aabp1978]

Amazed anyone is annoyed / surprised. Nicks knows if (and more than likely when) we lose this week to a side that has won what, 4 games in 2 years, he will be sacked. Cant have anything reducing crowds long term (we know we dont care about premierships). Selection totally reflects his desperation. Pedlar and Crouch are fine, but there was no way he was playing a debuntant this week….thus the ugly Himmelberg, McHenry etc…

He got the phil walsh appointment right. Pyke was good til the camp. Has been garbage ever since.

Avatar pic for a week bet?

You can choose over or under

I’ll go over, because it’s time for a new avatar

You got your SANFL club right thou

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Borlase gets a pass though because his position is a need.

Is it? North are quite literally fielding one kpf in Larkey. Perfect opportunity to blood Curtin and play him on a young medium forward like Duursma.

 

[AWarGuy]

You got your SANFL club right thou

I was there for our last premiership in Adelaide too, up the Legs.

 

[SLOWNE]

Anyone want to suggest an over/under bet for ROB'S marks this week?

0.5, $1.10 for the under.

 

[kirky]

If Laird Crouch combo is back I might be sick. Both named on ball plus whatever dribble this is

Yes because we are playing the worst team of the past 5 years. FMD, Nicks is a ****ing idiot.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Official changes

In: Crouch, Pedlar, Himmelberg
Out: Berry, Smith, Gollant

Were you dropped on your head as a baby?

 

[MRB37]

Yes because we are playing the worst team of the past 5 years. FMD, Nicks is a ******* idiot.

You can almost guarantee Nicks is thinking he'll go back to his preferred methods of the first month, beat an easier side like North and he'll be able to go "See, I told you this was what we needed to do to win!" to those who doubt him.

 

[Crowstar]

Hoping we lose every week from here until Nicks is gone.

 

[Crow till I die]

If you think you're bad, wait till you see us !
12 wins from our last 100 games. In's ? A debutant and a 20 gamer.

Crows by 35+ ( if not more )

True but one of your ins is george wardlaw...you guys play your top draft picks. We are letting our rot in the SANFL. You guys are in the pain part of the rebuild while you get games into these guys and when they get to the 50-100 game mark watch your side soot up the ladder.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Interesting changes.

I dont overly mind the inclusions. Look the season is lost, lets check out long time list cloggers etc. However its the dropping of Gollant that serves no purpose.

I agree that Berg coming in is sickening, but I don't think Pedlar has done much to inspire confidence.

 

[Chances Are]

Another week when I'm totally unspired by the changes. Curtin and Dowling still in the sanfl. That pretender will be still getting a game, McHeadless if you're wondering. Pedlar needs another couple of games to get his form totally back.
FFS I still can't wrap my head around Curtin not replacing Smith. Damn that sucks.

Gollant should be mighty pissed

 

[George Kramer]

In other words Laird has said he’s not happy not playing in the middle, has complained and Nicks wants to keep his teachers pet happy

 

[ssj3Pretz]

It could be round 22, Crows with the wooden spoon locked in, and Nicks would still not debut Curtin, Dowling, Ryan, or Edwards.

 

[cleanhands]

If Himmelberg plays any time in defence Curtin may as well pack his bags

 

[woofsson]

I reckon right now the coaching team are coaching for their immediate survival, not the medium or long term.
So they are picking the team they think has the highest chance of winning now.
Player development isn’t entering into the equation.
When your and your family’s livelihood is on the line, next year is a long way away
