It's a long way from Crowmania. I wonder if he was better at selling merchandise.

Must be where his leadership qualities were mastered

 

[George Kramer]

Besides the Curtin non selection, how ****ing tall does he want our forward line to be? We better mark the ball.

 

[jackster83]

Like seriously, if you wanted any more of a clue what a ****wit Nicks is, not picking Curtin is it.

Five quarters of football for the year for our pick 8 is pretty piss poor, especially for a team that won't play finals.

We'll still find a way to spot up Sicily with most of our forward entries.

Im actually abit pumped we retained Himmelberg, a 4 tall forward line could cause chaos

Well when you put it like that :/

 

[Trigger13]

Sorry to introduce facts into your fiction, but name the first non-finals team that finished as the highest scoring last year for the first time in decades? PS it was also the team that had the second hardest draw for the year.

This should be good

We’re 14th. What more evidence do you need? There’s a lot wrong with the club. It’s that obvious?

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

What I want to know is - how is Worrell an emergency. Either he’s a best 22 player when fit or he’s playing sanfl for game time. He is past being emergency.

 

[Trigger13]

Adelaide has confirmed three changes for its Round 20 clash with Hawthorn at Adelaide Oval on Sunday afternoon.

Key forward Taylor Walker returns to the team after being managed for last weekend’s match against Essendon in Melbourne.

Down back, James Borlase and Chayce Jones have been named to replace injured duo Jordon Butts (foot) and Nick Murray (knee).

Captain Jordan Dawson will also miss after being placed in the AFL’s concussion protocols.

As announced on Thursday, Darcy Fogarty will captain the Crows in Dawson’s absence.

Daniel Curtin, Josh Worrell and Ned McHenry have been listed as the side’s emergencies.

Calm ya farm, Jen. Fair dinkum

Keen to see it too , that’s not the howler of the other call

 

[Dangerousfield]

Emergency list is too close for comfort where McFlurry is concerned!

"interesting" line up, let's see how it goes

 

[1990crow]

So Curtin not picked.

 

[Geoffa32]

Correct.

Only 7 pressure acts, 2 tackles (both outside of the forward 50), 0 clearances and 3 FA in 115 minutes of ground time last week.

And 1 disposal in the last quarter

Could you not comprehend the question posed? Or just embarrassed to answer? Which one?

 

[Redline]

Nicksy will get away with not picking Curtain if we win but a loss it will be the first question asked at the post match.

Picking Jones who has had such a horrid year makes no sense.

Also if the club thinks Himmelberg is on the way out at seasons end, he shouldn't be playing. Borderline best 22.

 

[Geoffa32]

wtf are you on about? He’s the same height as Butts and Murray and on par with pretty much most KP heights.

His main position was KPD, but he also had good games as a mid, it’s not surprising to see him trialed for extended periods in both positions to workout his best position long term.

Yes he is tall, but it is a mid.

[hawkman]

How does that compare to hawthorn?

We have 14 left from 2019

 

[ssj3Pretz]

Need more injuries to the team before Nicks will play Curtin again

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

So is Nicks going for Himmelberg as the sub, or is he planning to play four tall forwards?

Both options are

Or play him in defence

 

[cleanhands]

Can't wait until we get the win and all the whingers go quiet!

You forget how this club works.

Curtin will be hung out to dry in the SANFL, given a role which doesn’t showcase his skills.

Nicksy will the use this to justify his non-selection not only for this week, but the rest of the season.

 

[cleanhands]

It’s that .6%

 

[119others]

Official teams

IN: Walker, Borlase, Jones

OUT: Butts (foot), Murray (knee), Dawson (concussion)

Himmelberg remains in the side. Sub from Smith, Himmelberg, Cook, Rachele, Taylor

Curtin and Worrell emergencies

I would be amazed if we play with that side named. And disappointed,

When is the last time we have played 4 tall forwards - Tex, Fog, TT and HBerg and ROB?esp in the middle of winter in a twilight game with rain the day before and near freezing conditions

Something likely to change IMO

 

[CrowToon]

It actually doesnt matter at this point whether not picking Curtin is right or wrong - the perception is killing Nicks/club
