Douglas IN

5AA just said that the Crows will take a 23-man squad to Melbourne for tomorrow night. Douglas is in, Mattner is the travelling emergency.

Sorry for the innacruate information earlier.

5AA just said that the Crows will take a 23-man squad to Melbourne for tomorrow night. Craig is still undecided on which one will play.

It works out alright as both Glenelg and North play on Sunday so plenty of time to come back for whoever doesn't make the team.

 

[Delivery Man]

I went down and watched training today, both Perrie and Douglas trained with the main group.

Go Douglas

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

I'll believe it when I see it.

Having said that, I heard a rumour young Jimmy is starting at CHF.

LOL not after last week.

Maybe for Glenelg reserves.

Could very well happen.

Broken record ??

It has to be one of those 2.

Dougie on form, Perrie for team balance.

I'd love to see Douglas get another crack at it, but my feeling is that it will be Perrie.

 

[bus24]

We all know how shocking he is coming back from injury. I'm surprised he's in the 23 to be honest. Thought they would've given him a run in the SANFL.

If they wanted a tall, I thought they would've gone for Gill.

Sounds like Massie will get the job on Reiwoldt. Should be interesting.

 

[Alex99]

Excellent news for young dougie – good to see

 

[Stiffy_18]

Mattner one gone to Melbourne instead of Perrie!

I guess the thinking is to win the midfield and not allow St. Kilda to trouble our defenders much by pumping it in there! We are backing in our midfielders it seems and why wouldn't we after the game they played against Hawks

 

[pjcrows]

I'll edit the post title folks. And cheers to 5AA for their perfectly accurate information earlier

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Mattner gets dropped on poor form when his team has a bye, and then he travels to melbourne as the emergency.

will he get back in time to play for Sturt? If not makes it hard for him to regain some touch.

 

[pjcrows]

I reckon the Crows are banking on Koschitzke playing back. Blake is their main tall defender, the Crows want to stretch them in this department with both Kenny and Bock up forward.

Stevens will take Riewoldt, Rutten will take Gehrig. If they start Riewoldt, Koschitzke and Gehrig up forward then either McGregor or Bock will go with Koschitzke.

If Lyon starts all three up forward, and they get off to a flier, we need to be careful. Will be interesting to watch.

And well done to Dougie! Well deserved.

 

[CarnCrows]

Great news for Dougs. Still a bit surprised that Perrie is not in.

As the token Marty defender round here - I know it's accepted knowledge, but do we know that he was really dropped for poor form?

He might have been ordinary against West Coast, but he was very good against the Kangaroos the week before, wasn't our worst against Geelong, and was terrific against Carlton.

The fact that Perrie's not travelling suggests Bock and McGregor aren't as sore as they had been, and that's a good thing. Mattner's probably got more ability to cover players in the 22 without restructuring the planned set up than either Jericho or Perrie.

 

[pjcrows]

Mattner is an interesting one. He was BOG against Carlton not long ago. I think they just can't find a spot for him at the moment - Knights has taken over him as the left-foot wingman, so they put him as a running defender, but Johncock is now back in that role.

 

[bus24]

Pretty good move. Perrie will certainly need some SANFL footy.

Douglas deserves his chance , Mattner will get back in time for Sturts game.

I forgot that St Kilda were playing Koschitzke in the ruck now. I reckon he will start forward though to stretch our defence.

Not concerned. That leaves Michael Rix in the ruck
