Preview R19: Changes vs. Essendon

[Jarman3]

We won, don't we normally reward form?

We do.

Good form, bad form, doesn't matter. If you're a senior player, we reward it all.

 

[DJ75]

Pilots, hosties, passengers

Tell me more about the hosties. In form?

 

[Roscrow86]

I heard Nicks saying they are willing to play four talls tomorrow, but would be reluctant if the weather was wet. Aren’t we playing at the Etihad, which like everyone knows (except for Nicks) has a roof. Am I missing something here? If this is an oversight I’m concerned

[Crows I Am]

With Hinge returning Ryan was never any chance.

This from Nicks’ presser today (Daily Telegraph):


Also mentioned possibly going in with 4 talls up forward because it’s under the roof at Marvel.

I thought Bond would make way for Hinge, glad to hear he will keep his spot. So likely Smith back out then.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Two changes to the 22.

In - Thilthorpe. Out - Himmelberg

In - Hinge. Out - Smith

Sub - Jones

Who does Jones come in for as Thilthorpe was sub? Murphy?

Pilots, hosties, passengers

So Murphy made the flight... buggar!

Edit dude316 beat me to it!

Well he was the only person in SA that didn't know it was raining last weekend, so unsurprising.

 

[WBrown97]

Tex out

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

I’m

Who does Jones come in for as Thilthorpe was sub? Murphy?

Simples…………

Thilthorpe was already in the 23 last week

From last week’s 23 two players go out = Himmelberg and Smith

Two players come in = Hinge and Jones.

Thilthorpe replaces Himmelberg in the 22
Hinge replaces Smith in the 22
Jones takes the sub spot vacated by Thilthorpe.


Or maybe we rest Tex and keep Himmelberg in the 22 .

 

[Scorpus]

Tex out

 

[cleanhands]

Passengers? So Murphy is still in the team then.

POTY

 

[footy4ever]

Tex out

Huge sigh of relief from Essendon.

 

[George Kramer]

Nah, we don’t do that

 

[dogs105]

I believe we fly out today. Anyone heard who was on the plane?

Flew to Gold Coast today. Virgin lounge full of Crows players. "Taking up lots of space".


I don't know who any of them were , as it was my mother in law flying business class, not us.

 

[cleanhands]

Nah, we don’t do that

Not intentionally, but Nick’s got one over us with a 0-4 start

 

[texanmike]

If Tex is managed, that tells me Nicks is under no pressure & if he lost all games from here he still wouldnt get the flick end of season..Shame..

 

[jackster83]

Tex out

I had him pencilled in to be rested for next week's unwinnable game at the Cattery.

 

[George Kramer]

I had him pencilled in to be rested for next week's unwinnable game at the Cattery.

Yeah that would make more sense unless Tex is sore

 

[Scorpus]

I had him pencilled in to be rested for next week's unwinnable game at the Cattery.

That game is in two weeks, we play Hawthorn at home next week

 

[jackster83]

That game is in two weeks, we play Hawthorn at home next week

Fair enough. Rest him again for that one, along with Dawson and Soligo.

 

[Crow_68]

Tex will only play the home games for the rest of the season.

 

[haydo]

I mean didn’t play in the best conditions last week with the rain and cold weather, reckon the old back would have seized up a little.

Good for us to have a look at Himmelberg, Fogarty & Thilthorpe forward line tho which is a plus.

 

[cmndstab]

If Max Gawn was Murphy’s height nobody would have heard of him either, what’s the point of that hypothetical?

Gawn is a perfect example. There is precisely one lead ruck spot on the side. He has to be the best ruck on his team in order to play. Even if he is a good ruck, if there is one better ruck on his team, he gets dropped.

Himmelberg is in a similar position. There are not many spots for a KPF/backup ruck in the side. One or two at most. And he's certainly not getting selected as lead ruck.

Murphy, by contrast, has a dozen spots he could fit into. Saying that Himmelberg doesn't deserve to get dropped because Murphy hasn't been misses that point.

My mother in law has a habit of taking up lots of space too
