Preview R18: Changes vs. St. Kilda

[jello_bello]

Word


Has Gingervitus

he has a tinge of the ginge to the minge?

 

[texanmike]

Did everyone miss what spenze said about ROB? Sounds like he will be a late out and Berg/RT to ruck

lol he said gingervitus....Robs a Red head.

 

[1970crow]

Have the selectors ruled a line through Chayce Jones as well as McHenry?

Shouldn’t have. Ned has never looked good. Chayce looked good early, then we developed him to a 4 touch SANFL mid level before he became good player behind the ball and good player on the wing, both at AFL level. Injury intervened and he deserves another opportunity in 2025. Ned does not.

We aren’t going to make Taylor the sub 3 games in a row, SURELY

I thought Ned was an essential non statistical shape runner


Seriously though, Chayce is merely a victim of depth building. The list management and coaching staff was to see our list moving forward. Some players have to make way so we can put games into Dowling, Taylor, Bond and maybe Curtin.

As for our changes. Well its good to see RT back.

I heard ROB had a sore foot.




But then also heard that it wasn't a foot at all. More like 6 inches.
And it was just a bit ginger.

Gobsmacked that neither Ned nor Jones are in. So that’s a plus. Pleased Bond is making his debut. Another plus. Not sure about the Thilthorpe selection given the expected weather, BUT, it’s not Ned or Jones so YAY!

 

[CrowTownRoad]

Tall side for a wet night.. tanking

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Like most here I’m surprised with the amount of talls considering the weather but happy that Ned and Jones weren’t recalled. Putting games into the kids is a priority now.

We look so much better with them in

 

[Bay62]

Laird would be loving this team. Plenty of targets for his high hack kicks inside 50

Why do I get the feeling we’re still going to lob it on Murphy’s head??

 

[cleanhands]

More Murphy magic

 

[BACCS]

Pretty sure that was a pun.

Ah damn

 

[Bay62]

They want TT in but don’t want him to have to pinch hit ruck.

Yep I think he’ll get significant rotation off the bench as they ease him back in

 

[Freshj]

Sad thing is, the non selection of Ned wasn't because he's done at AFL level, it's because Nick's is tanking and doesn't want an accidental win by playing Ned.

 

[BACCS]

Not sure why people keep thinking this will be a wet night, barely any rain forecast and likely to come morning/early arvo.

 

[Bay62]

AT least I am pleased to see our younger players are still in the team, Dowling, Cook, Zac T and now 007 gets his first game. When you add in Soligo, Rachele Nankervis (pity that Pedler is injured) thats a significant number of youngsters. We now need to get Curtin into the ones. I look at Dowling and whilst I am pleased we are sticking with him I dont really understand why we haven't done the same with Curtin.

Overall very heartening. Nankervis looks very comfortable down back

You’d have to be new to the AFC if you don’t understand that we are putting every egg we have in the basket if winning the 4 points this week.

 

[rabidcrow]

If we’re drafting player for player replacements then we’re in more trouble than anyone expected.

Positional replacement - small lock down defender - at pick 50?

Are you serious?

Don’t mind 4 talls. Three on the ground at any one time, not just Tex and Fog. Finally some marking power up forward and around the ground. In theory at least. Looking forward to seeing RT roam up to the wing and be that transition marking option we’ve lacked

 

[rabidcrow]

No he wasn't. Hugh Bond was a inside midfield with the Rebels. He was a tackling machine. IIRC, his average was around 9 a game

Didn't start playing as a defender until he arrived at the Crows.

It was clearly written up - he played lockdown through all the u18 championship games, and it was mentioned at the time

I realise he played mid in the Coates league - but we picked him for his champs games

So who's coming out of the backline for Bond? Nankervis or Smith?

Either could go to the wing and play, Smith was better there last year than HB, and I think in time that’s where Nankervis ends up playing for us.

 

[George Kramer]

Rob will be a late out with Himmler carrying the ruck

Can live with that

 

[Cap]

Looking forward to seeing Filthy back.

Him rucking amd resting forward seems pretty dangerous

 

[Dangerousfield]

Have the selectors ruled a line through Chayce Jones as well as McHenry?

I hope so, need the 2018 draft to be exorcised!
