and says…’I have some great pictures of Matty and Tex - Tex’s leather chaps are stunning’."John, the Crows surprised some by dropping Rachele, after losing Rankine to concussion, and Keane for this game. As someone who is loathe to drop players sometimes, what do you think could have been the reasons behind that?"

So roast Hay for dinner and an apple for breakfast?Horse put me up
I actually agree with your statement re: Sheldrick and the 30+This game is kinda important for me because personally I am not convinced. I don't want to be going into finals unconvinced. So I'd like us to play something close to our best footy this week.
Play our best footy, field our best side, get our players in the best form possible.
I understand the urge to want to try Sheldrick over Adams, but I feel any of our mids could get 30+ regularly if played as the rover in our VFL side. If we are looking for someone to offer more in a ball use sense than Adams, then I'm not sure Sheldrick is that person.
Only player I'd be dropping Adams for would be one of the returning injured players.
For me, it's Chad in for Adams, Sheldrick in for Corey (as sub). Think Horse would be more likely to just keep Adams as sub though, even if he's slightly on the outer.This game is kinda important for me because personally I am not convinced.

Well put it this way, gun to my head if you said only one of Adams, Campbell and Cleary can be in the team to fit a Warner or McInerney or Papley in, then I would say Campbell and Cleary.I actually agree with your statement re: Sheldrick and the 30+
Having said that, Adams has just been so poor, I feel that under normal circumstances he’d be dropped.
But ….. I don’t see Horse bringing in a player who hasn’t appeared in the seniors all year in the final round.
Why rest Grundy?IN: Ladhams, Hamling
OUT: Grundy, Hayward
If Chad plays:
IN: Ladhams, Hamling, Chad W
OUT: Grundy, Hayward, Corey W
Adams sub
Because of his performance on Friday. He's clearly struggling and Horse has even talked about him getting managed. So why play him? It's not ideal given the following bye, but not sure doubling down on the wrong selection calls over recent weeks (not to rest him) is the better way.Why rest Grundy?
I'd rather he finds form.
He'll have a 13 day break after Saturday night.
Grundy looks exhausted and/or sore. I would leave the decision up to him - if he thinks a rest would help then definitely give it to him.Why rest Grundy?

I'd like the coaches to do their jobs and manage players that need managing. This "leaving it up to the player" idea is a poor one. Even if the player knows they are struggling, which they might not admit even to themselves, they won't want to feel like they're letting the team down or appearing weak.Grundy looks exhausted and/or sore.

He's played 5 full VFL games now, 5 more than Mills had to. I get he's our captain, but we've largely had to carry him until Friday night.I see no point in playing Gus.
Way way too underdone.
It would be a token debut for the season.
Warner for Adams.
Corey as sub .
Corey has been around the 1sts most of the season.He's played 5 full VFL games now, 5 more than Mills had to. I get he's our captain, but we've largely had to carry him until Friday night.
He was good for us last year in his run of games, wasn't just playing up forward.
If Corey is sub over him, sure ok, but token debut is a bit much. They've both been in decent/good form at reserves level.
So roast Hay for dinner and an apple for breakfast?
Fair enough. Though there's a reason why Gus hasn't been near the team and it's not to do with talent, and it can't really be about fitness anymore.Corey has been around the 1sts most of the season.
Angus has been nowhere near it.
His time will come. Next year.
However I'm a firm believer in moving into a finals series with minimal changes to a team.
Consistency is key.

It's like Jed Lamb v2!Are people on here related to Gus? good young player but we seriously wondering why he isn't rushed in like the club Captain?
He isn't a priority to get into the side anytime soon
It's like Jed Lamb v2!
If Horse drops Cleary, and Adams stays, then I question his judgement. Cleary makes way if we get Chad, Papley, Jmac etc back sure, but you simply can't drop him this week after that effort. Not when you're banging on about effort and the contest.Horse isn't dropping Adams Ahead of Corey and Cleary is my guess.
Jmac may force him out and Paps
