Game Day "Crouch"ing Crow Hidden Club Champ (Carlton vs Crows at Marvel)

[robboaustralia]

Will Cripps be allowed to run 30 metres without bouncing it to kick a goal again?

 

[FR0GGY]

Pity Neddy's not available, I reckon he'd have loved to have a crack at curbing his great mate Sam Walsh's influence on the game....both high endurance athletes.

You reckon we’d have the balls to try something different?

 

[FR0GGY]

Knowing Neddy I'd almost put money on it he'd have suggested it to the coaches if he was available, not backwards at coming forward is Neddy.

No doubt, just not sure they’d go with it.

 

[Bearded Clam]

I fear you may be right!

Wont be as bad as this score (from yesterday I think)..



Atleast they hit the scoreboard..

 

[pjcrows]

A midfield bloodbath.

If Carlton kick straight it'll be 60+.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Have a bad feeling we will really get torched today.... Ugly 10+ goal loss.

I hope Cook and Murphy get some midfield minutes today.

 

[CrowBloke]

Their 2022 goalscorers are a huge threat: Curnow (19) Mckay (17) Cripps (11)
+
They're the #1 Centre Clearances side in the Comp.

If the Crows show up with the same attitude/effort as vs GWS it'll be a one-way bloodbath.
If the Crows bring their vs Bulldogs away-game scrappy toughness, it'll be close.

Of course, I'm hoping for a Crows win, but I gotta agree with this:

Blues mids and tall forwards will be too good for us

I'd love to see us explore our young guy's skills a bit more in ways like this

 

[AmericanCrow]

I expect a 5% chance I stay awake for entire game.

Don’t think we win—be surprised if we keep it close

 

[George Kramer]

$1:29 to $3.50 on sportset. Reckon they're heavily overrated at this moment. The below isn’t much better reading than what we’ve put out there most weeks. Obviously they are deserving favourites, but not $1.29 v $3.50.

25 win tigers
12 win dogs
1 win hawks
30 loss suns away
3 win port home
35 loss Freo away
50 win roos

I reckon they will give us a touch up.

We won’t be able to control their midfield and Curnow and Mackay are going to have big days, one of them is a shoe in to kick a bag playing on Frampton

 

[George Kramer]

What makes you think our coaches would pull such a move?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Has Dawson been playing more down back to give us more aerial strength to make up for Frampton's defensive frailties?

 

[Betts are off]

Crows by 119 points

 

[ams4crows]

The Twin towers are actually capable of taking huge pack marks, even if 3 crows players go for the spoil there'll be free Carlton small at ground level every where.

Cripps always saves his best for us, reckon he's got the 3 votes more than anyone else playing in the game between the two sides

 

[Crow till I die]

Blues mids and tall forwards will be too good for us

God help us if we start with frampton on mckay or curnow

 

[Dewy006]

Frampton on Curnow is a big worry. If our Mids can’t apply pressure on thier entries it’s gonna get ugly fast.

 

[1970crow]

God help us if we start with frampton on mckay or curnow

But we’ve got to do it. No point playing a 200cm bloke that can’t key defend. If he gets torched and doesn’t improve that aspect of his game then we move on from him. Playing him and 2 KPDs is too restrictive to flexibility.

 

[betterthanu]

Hately paying $7.75 to get 25 disposals. Wonder if he gets crouches midfield minutes

I’m getting on.

I agree with your sentiments about using the big guys for what they should be used for but it i think it will be 100% a mistake to play him and not murray who CAN defend 1 v 1. Hogan last week showed every team that plays us that you play through whoever frampton is marking

I’ve no problem with that. Where I’ll get annoyed is if he ends up getting protected from those duties. His decision making and disposal is a great icing to have on the cake. But defending talls is a pre-requisite. Otherwise we might as well play an extra runner with quality delivery like Parnell.

Did you watch Murray yesterday?

He was absolutely sheizzen houssen, his worst game since joining us.....and I've been a fan previously.

 

[Gtowncrow]

See you there. Bright red jumper up in the nosebleeds.

 

[LeftyLuke]

Crows by 10 goals.

Will Cripps be allowed to run 30 metres without bouncing it to kick a goal again?

Let's see ... Cripps.

Cripps, leading AFLCA votes.
Cripps, centre/mid.
Cripps, non-Crow (<== this is crucial )

Answer: yes, and more than once if he can.
