[weekend at bernies]

Since he copped some criticism last year when he had something like 42 touches with 3/4 of them handballs (was either the GC or Hawthorn game), he's been making more of an effort to kick the ball. Seems like he's starting to hit the scoreboard a bit more too.

its more about he stopped just throwing it on the boot and bombing it fwd.

 

[George Kramer]

So can we put him in your side

What does Nicksy say?

It looks like we are trying to avoid that in general, which is smart because we aren't good at those pack mark situations.

Smith hasn't got the memo, while Schoenberg still lapses back into that bombing mindset at times.

And what do they mean by U22 considering there are so many oldies

Read the article maybe?

To be eligible, players must have been selected in a previous 22Under22 side (2013-2022) with fans charged with the responsibility of creating the ultimate team.

The Vader Effect

A player can only become better once they eliminate the defincies in their game identified 3 years earlier on social media

Had a dream last night that Fog kicked 8 against GWS.

Fingers crossed it was actually a vision of the future. Either way I might lay down a cheeky bet on him kicking a big bag in round 1.

Did we win?

I felt he was very.... laconic? over the two trials. I just don't think he works hard enough. He's certainly got the bloody talent. It's just the penny still hasn't dropped with him... just wondering if it will?

I think that is just him, one of those players that makes it look like they are cruising, I remember Bunji looked very laconic as well. Not that Jnr is at Bunji's level, who is? just some people make it look like they aren't trying. If his body is right now, and he has confidence in it, I expect him to make a lot of people eat humble pie.

Look, you could be right, but all I know is I get a little annoyed when I just see him having no urgency about him. Bunji was never laconic... he just made things look effortless. I think Junior could do that too...in fact, I'd LOVE to see it!

It's a reference to their height

Oh yeah. Big win.

And after 6 months without a Crows game for points, i'm pretty sure she'd understand!

don't ask me what it means.

Not cleaning windscreens?

 

[FR0GGY]

Seems Rory Laird is rated higher by others more than he is on this board....my only knock ever on him has been his tendency to give his kicks too much elevatiopn but even that has seemed to have improved markedly last season and certainly this season in the trial games.

All credit to him, but it’s a bit of a weird metric to pick a team by.

Good. We want those opposition captains underrating us. Being an underdog means we can attack ‘em like a Doberman on a postie.

I legit had the same dream, even kicking 8 and I remember thinking ooh would be nice to kick 8 in the showdown too

I think it's a premonition now. That's all i need, I'm throwing the house on it!

 

[crow2crow]

I feel the same..

Just such a dissapointing career up till this point.. obviously not helped by two years out with injury.

But its just about time to add him to the pile of first round pick fails..

Milera
Gooch
Mchenry
Jones
Mcasey

Swap even just two of those players for players that were picked after them.. lets say

Mcasey for kossie pickett and jones for butters..

And our current 22 would look very dangerous.

If we hadve nailed all 5 first round picks instead.. our 22 would be ready to seriously contend.

Hamish and co really have failed badly on first rounders in the last 8 years..

Strangely he’s (Hamish) sort of redeemed himself slightly with some lucky later picks like Soligo and berry.. both of whom, if you revisited their draft year, you’d drop first rounders on without question.

i raise you

yes butters for jones
de koning instead of mcasey
bailey instead of gooch
