Preview R22: Changes vs. Footscray

[Crows I Am]

Ok Curtin might be playing going by Nicks presser this morning... Though he did make himself sound stupid when was asked why Curtin is the only player in the top 10 of the 23 draft yet to play a full game... "He's a key defender"... Nvm that fellow talls Caddy/Read/Walters have all played multiple full AFL games for sides higher on the ladder...

I thought Burns said the other week that he is a midfielder now? Nicks is getting confused again with his own players.

Nankervis & Dowling white singlets
Brodie Smith & Ned McHenry blue singlets

I also saw Smith in a white singlet in a video on instagram (at least I'm sure it was him)

Did it have a Bintang logo on it? Maybe he's already into holiday / retirement mode...

 

[bigman]

what colour top did Oscar Have?

 

[BRL121]

Did he say it through gritted teeth?

It seems that the footy media have been reading our BigFooty efforts. Several places this week have been whinging about our treatment of Curtin. Indeed, they have probably "forced" Nicks to play him for a while now.

Several podcasts that have nothing to do with Crows have blatantly called him out on Curtin and other blunders.
First time I have really noticed it from outside.

None of those tall you listed are key defenders though? But neither is Curtin.

Well, yeah.

When journos cite "anonymous sources close to the club", they mean "sh*t we read on the BigFooty forums and are now regurgitating as news".

That tends to happen when you have sh*t for Brains

Any links you can share to those articles? Wouldn’t mind reading

On the midweek tackle last night they mentioned it

 

[cleanhands]

I’m curious as to what was said but just can’t bring myself to push play

 

[Interloperer]

If you look at the games played from the previous draft. Everyone picked before Curtin is getting regular/semi-regular AFL football. But almost every pick later than him rarely gets an AFL game.

Curtin will play.

As a non sub?

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

We have the same issue with Geelong, we have to play them at GMHBA every year, with occasionally an extra game at Marvel as the home side. It is usually a guaranteed win for the Cats. Unfair when Carlton, Collingwood, Hawthorn and until recently Richmond play them as the away team at the MCG.

I think if Crows and Dogs rise up the ladder,we will see more games at Adelaide, but at the moment our Adelaide game is always against Port.

Anniversary of the flag for the dogs ... potentially also Retro Round

Footscray should've merged with Fitzroy back in the day IMHO. Could've been Fitzcray or Footsroy.
