[SydCrow]

Can EH and Thilthy handle the ruck? Murphy out obviously.

What is with the agenda against ROB. We embarrassed ourselves dropping him, Strachan was absolutely monstered twice in a row. ROB comes back and we win clearance by 10.

Because he hasn’t been able to football this year.
And he hasn’t been (until two weeks ago) held accountable for his poor performances.

He was fine last night, even took a few marks. Still need to find a replacement, but he’s our best option for now.

What I would do…

Out:
Himmelberg, Murphy (plus Laird out of the 22)

In:
Thilthorpe, Ryan (plus Taylor into the 22)

Sub:
Laird






What I expect to happen…

Out:
Himmelberg, Taylor

In:
Thilthorpe, Jones

Sub:
Cook or Murphy

His 2nd half was what is expected of AFL ruckman, his 1st half was the same putrid ROB.

Because we have known for 3 or 4 years that we won’t progress with him as our number one ruck.

Why do you think the club dropped him?

 

[George Kramer]

Why do you think the club dropped him?

To be fair that’s hardly an endorsement of a sound decision

 

[1970crow]

Putting my Matthew Nicks hat on

Out: Dowling, Hamill, Taylor (sub)
In: Smith, Jones, Dowling (sub)

Thilthorpe another run in the SANFL

Well, we are on a winning streak. And if it doesn’t stop, and a few results go our way, this could be a premiership year. I remember 2019 where Pyke had dropped ROB and Dougie to play weeks in the 2s. But once we got close to the end and remained mathematically possible (just needed a 150 point win against Dogs in final round), he reverted to those guys. Won’t be surprised if Smith and Ned return in a few weeks, no doubt we’d have a target of 8 wins.

 

[hippyhippy]

No need to rush tt back.. season is already over

 

[CrowHop]

And half forward pushing up the ground, Tom Lynch role

Yep I think you’re on the money here.

?????

I wonder how we could ever replace Murphy's 2 tackles, One 1%, 1 intercept.

And did I read 16 touches/8 changers ?

Yes, that takes effort to do that.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Tbh one of Murphy/McHenry kind of have to play because our other smalls/half forwards don’t apply enough pressure, especially with Rankine playing an offensive role. Murphy was disgraceful by foot though.

Sometimes I wonder if we’re all watching the same fxxkn games..

Thanks Burnsy.

Unfortunately I don't think you understand how to coach the forward line.

Perhaps watch some games from last season.

Imo, it's time to try the Berg & Thilthorpe ruck duo.

Hopefully we have seen Murphy's last game.

Neither ROB or Murphy are the future.

Nup.. we need to pump as many games as possible into our youth.. and he’s still one of them.

Himmelburg is off at years end (well maybe, if GWS still want him and after last nights boring performance they may be reconsidering it) and burgess isnt the answer.. so why bother wasting games on them.

 

[Crowfan75]

And if we want to be really adventurous T Murray for Himmelberg

Murray has quite good hands and is a decent size looked good in the sanfl

Are you WaynesWorld19 ?

You seem to be supporting the indefensible from the club.

Fan of Nicks too?

We could go all Blighty & have 3 ruck/forward options.

Bring in both Thilthorpe & Murray, along with Berg.

Drop ROB & rest Tex for long flight to Brisbane.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Yeah, I know Mutineer, you still think ROB is awesome.

Sorry to break it you, he's not & he's not the future.

Notice the different impact of taps to advantage of the different ruckmen last night...

Big thumbs down incoming.
