Preview R21: Changes vs. Geelong Cats

[George Kramer]

Laird Crouch and Berry is a crap mix. Berry has to be sub.

Rankine for Murphy next week

Yeah was thinking about his afterwords, makes sense with Crouch in and Cook out.

Rowey said Murphy should be out, carrying an injury and form doesn’t warrant it. Fuxk me if Roweys saying it

 

[George Kramer]

Laird not facing any consequence for his absolute piss taking last week would boggle the mind if it wasn't standard.

He knows our values

 

[FullyBigKPro]

At least Curtin didn't get dropped.... Dont make him sub again Nicks you fool.

 

[GROTTO]

Nicks rushing out of the selection meeting to tell Murphy he's still in the side.

is an out. They have him as "personal reason".

 

[CrowBloke]

Murphy retained???

 

[GROTTO]

Murphy retained???

 

[Mutineer]

Any info on why Chayce Jones is an out. They have him as "personal reason".

Think Chayce and his partner are expecting their 1st child about now?

 

[haydo]

With Stanley back in, would you run Curtin vs Blicavs through the middle?
And I’d get the captain (Dawson) to play an unselfish game and man up next to Stewart whether that’s up forward or through the midfield for the whole match and curb his influence. Hopefully Dawson can get forward and kick a couple against him and make him accountable

 

[King Elvis]

He knows our values

It's our DNA.

 

[Mutineer]

Bye week in the Snaffle too.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Laird Crouch and Berry is a crap mix. Berry has to be sub.

Rankine for Murphy next week

Yeah, Berry is the obvious sub this week... so probably won't be!

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Surprised that Crouch comes in without a run in the 2s. Good to see Woz and Muz back.

May look to sub him out, wirh Berry coming off sub bench.

You know that isn’t going to happen.

 

[kirky]

Just goes to show with Lachie Murphy that sucking the right people in any organisation goes a long way.

Amended for correctness.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

I hope the kid is not playing knowing he is the first choice to be subbed.

 

[Scorpus]

Yeah, Berry is the obvious sub this week... so probably won't be!

Nicks probably thought our contest work was bad so wants to ensure all of our inside midfielders are there to go for the ball harder

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Would have thought getting smashed by a quicker side on the outside was more an issue...

 

[Slime Roy]

Has Nicks ever given any insight as to why he keeps Murphy in the side? I just don't get it

Hasn't yet found an easy way to weave "goat photos" into a press conference.

 

[Scorpus]

Nah, need more bodies at the contest. Play 2 extras at stoppages with -2 in the forward line

AFL Team Selection: Round 21

The Crows travel to Geelong for the match

www.afc.com.au

View attachment 2065443
Adelaide Captain Jordan Dawson headlines four inclusions for the Crows ahead of the Round 21 match against Geelong at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Skipper returns after missing last week’s game with Hawthorn while progressing through the AFL’s concussion protocols.

Midfielder Matt Crouch, as well as defenders Nick Murray and Josh Worrell, round out the additions to the side.

Crouch recovered from a shoulder injury but missed last weekend's SANFL match due to illness.

Adelaide Head of Football Adam Kelly said Crouch’s dedication and hard work with his shoulder rehabilitation were catalysts for his return.

“When Matty bravely fought on versus the Hawks back in Round 12 after hurting the shoulder which would then require surgery, it was a sign of his commitment to the team,” Kelly said.

“He has demonstrated that same grit to have himself ready to return this week.

“Matty was in really strong form early in the season and we hope he is rewarded for his hard work by being able to recapture that over the remainder of the year.”

Worrell played his first game of competitive football with the Crows’ SANFL side last weekend, after fracturing his arm in the Club’s Round 10 AFL game.

Kelly said his performance in the SANFL was strong and warranted a recall.

“Josh (Worrell) had shown a significant progression in his development up until he unfortunately fractured his arm back in Round Nine,” Kelly said.

“To see him return in the manner he did last week in the SANFL was testament to the amount of work that he has put into his rehabilitation and was a source of great satisfaction to us all.

“Josh’s versatility is really important to us and he is a welcomed addition to the AFL team this week.”

Murray, meanwhile, hyperextended his left knee early in the game against Essendon but scans later cleared the backman of any serious damage.

“We nervously awaited the results of Muz’s knee scan a couple of weeks ago and with great relief reported the all clear, although the incident was significant enough to keep him on the sidelines last week,” Kelly said.

“Muz was building back to his best and it is pleasing that he now has an opportunity to continue that build and to finish 2024 in strong fashion.”

Elliott Himmelberg, James Borlase and Brayden Cook have been omitted, while Chayce Jones will miss this week’s game due to personal reasons.

Brodie Smith joins Himmelberg and Borlase as the emergencies.

Adelaide takes on Geelong at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday at 4.05pm (ACST).

The match will be broadcast live on Channel 7 Adelaide, Fox Footy and Kayo.

IN: Dawson, Crouch, Murray, Worrell

OUT: Jones (personal reasons), Borlase, Cook, Himmelberg (omitted)

So it is all about commitment to the team - not actually prioritising winning but commitment to the team.

This is what we should have done - You know what, you haven’t played for 10 weeks, have a run in the twos then we will consider your place in the side.

We aren’t ruthless enough.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Nah, need more bodies at the contest. Play 2 extras at stoppages with -2 in the forward line

That worked such a treat last time, so no doubt Nicks is happy to let Stewart do as he pleases again...

 

[kirky]

Gotta lot of respect for crouch to be fair. Battled through a lot of injuries and has always given his all for the club.

And he has been paid for it.

So what!

 

[Crow till I die]

Yeah.. lets drop cook.. but keep that useless waste of oxygen murphy

Just fxxk off nicks you ********

I'll take 7 of cook's touches over 7 of Murphy's any day of the week. At least Cook can score multiple goals from them

 

[SellarStardom]

Agreed. Not a big fan of Soligo on the wing - would rather Laird push back behind the ball and keep Soligo in the middle. But they will probably mix it up

Put Laird as sub and make a statement AFC!!!!
