Crows v Saints Pre-Game Discussion/Team Changes

[pjcrows]

I really think that Perrie will get picked this week because McGregor will be needed down back to cover their talls. Massie won't be able to play on Riewoldt or Koschitzke at the Dome - he will get carved.

In: Douglas, Perrie
Out: Porplyzia (inj), Doughty (omm)

B: Graham Johncock - Ben Rutten - Ken McGregor
HB: Andrew McLeod - Scott Stevens - Kris Massie
C: Brent Reilly - Simon Goodwin - Nathan Van Berlo
HF: Brett Burton - Nathan Bock - Tyson Edwards
F: Ian Perrie - Mark Ricciuto - Scott Welsh
1R: Ben Hudson - Scott Thompson - Robert Shirley
IC: Richard Douglas - Ivan Maric - Jason Torney - Chris Knights

Just give it a rest. Doughty will NOT be dropped and neither should he!

I do agree that Perrie will most likely come in. I think we will only make one change.

IN: Perrie
OUT: Porplyzia

You sum it up so beautifully, this is how it is, and how it should be.

Round 15 Vs St Kilda

In: Douglas, Campbell

Out: Porplyzia (injury), Doughty (suspended)

I'd love to see Campbell come in but don't think he will this week, he needs a couple more big games. While I have my doubts how he might go long term he deserves a shot before seasons end.

I think I would look at Gill before Perrie, I know its the done thing now a days but I am never a fan of bringing some players straight back in. Sure your top can do but unless you are an elite player you should have to prove your fitness and form first.

Perrie is returning? I thought he was gone for weeks?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

IN: Perrie
OUT: Porplyzia

I agree Stiffy that it likely that either Perrie (if he passes a fitness test) or Gill will come in for the injured Porplyzia.

No one deserves to be dropped, so everyone else will need to wait their turn.

 

[jenny61_99]

Having that extra tall (Perrie) will be good too perhaps forcing Kosi to play in the back lines.

 

[Crow Envy]

Perrie hasnt played for 6 weeks and normally takes a couple of games to get going. Gill's form has been good and the TD will suit his marking. Is it time to give him a go?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

We need the extra tall defender this week & with Porps injured, there is no need to make any forced changes off the back of one of our best wins of the season. It would send the wrong message. Douglas' turn will come.

In: Perrie/Gill
Out: Porplyzia (inj)

B: Stevens, Rutten, Johncock
HB: McLeod, Bock, Massie
C: Knights, Goodwin, van Berlo
HF: Welsh, Perrie/Gill, Burton
F: Edwards, McGregor, Ricciuto
R: Hudson, Shirley, Thompson
I: Maric, Reilly, Torney, Doughty

Anyone think there's a chance Ross Lyon will deploy a massive flood like he did against Hawthorn tomorrow?

SENSATIONAL if he does. Teams that have men back play completely into our hands. If teams have a few men back then it frees up McLeod and Johncock to be loose, and we dominate. The best way to beat Adelaide is one-on-one.

wonder when a real team will be annouced

4:30, since its a friday game

[Oh When the Saints]

Sam Fisher will play on Bock

Leigh Fisher will take Welsh

Matt Maguire will play on McGregor

Xavier Clarke on McLeod.




Obviously Rutten on Gehrig.

Stevens on Riewoldt.

And Sam Gilbert? (194cm) Torney perhaps.

Kosi will drift forward too ...

Bock might have to go back, if we load up with Riewoldt, Kosi, G and Gilbert.

 

[RoosterLad]

This will be huge. I will be starting at the Union straight after work. Socceroos are on at the same time. Huge I tells ya.

Post count will go boonta tomorrow night

 

[PrideOf]

I was at training today and it looked a lot like Kenny will play down back, based on the drills they were running.

 

[RoosterLad]

If he does we will lose a marking forward, will be he agile enough down there? If we have talls up forward then they will have to put someone like Kosi down back.. let's attack them and make them think as they are struggling a bit and we just had a great win against the high flying Hawks. Too bad the great man Gilly isn't playing as he would add a bit up forward, especially at the Dome and North have the bye this week ().

 

[the mighty adelaide crows]

i think the crows will win.if they have the same side as last week the crows will destroy the saints.we need this win we r only one win away from the top 4.this game will be huge. go the crows

 

[trecke]

Should be a good game tonight.
I think the crows will have a massive following there at the game, we usually do in Melbourne. And being school holidays, there are plenty of people going over for the weekend and seeing the game, I know of at least 12 people who are traveling over to see it. And those people usually don't even go to games at AAMI.
CARN THE CROWS!!!

 

[ams4crows]

COME ON YOU CROWS!!!!!!!

Should be good I'll be flicking channels between the Socceroos and the Crows hopefully both can get up!!

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

is goodwin completely over his injury
good luck against the saints

 

[- PC -]

I would agree.

Which matchups would we feel better going into the game with:
Rutten v Gehrig
Bock v Koschitzke
Stevens v Riewoldt

or
Rutten v Gehrig
Stevens v Koschitzke
Massie v Riewoldt

I reckon we would be too stretched on the later.

Looks like they went with this one

 

[crow87]

Looks like they went with this one

Massie on Riewoldt is a worry, different player to Franklin.
