Preview R8: Changes v Geelong

[Scorpus]

Boy oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy.

Out: Mackay, Douglas, McGovern
In: Milera, Lyons, Menzel

• Mackay was putrid. Terrible game. Confirmed downhill skiier. Was invisible as a senior player
• Douglas was invisible and also putrid. Has been one of our weaker midfielders for weeks.
• McGovern didn't do enough. It's all well and good to carry a young player but he's had his run. We need a player with more impact in the side.

Milera comes in for Mackay. Massive upgrade.
Lyons comes in for Douglas. He's been the better midfielder the weeks prior to today
Menzel in for McGovern. I'm sure McGovern will be back but he needs a spell

Chopping Block: Lever, Cheney, Henderson, Walker

Lever was bad tonight. Didn't know what he was doing
Cheney stuffed up some crucial contests tonight. Very disappointing. We need someone to grab his spot
Henderson is soft and shit, keeping a spot warm for Laird
Walker was diabolical for most of the match. Close to needing a spell

 

[SydCrow]

Seedsman ordinary. Beginning to see what the Pies did. Brouch did nothing, Lyons would have been better.

But I reckon no changes.

 

[Scorpus]

I really want to omit Cheney for structural reasons, but his replacements are either injured (Hampton), useless (Van Berlo) or not ready (Doedee)

 

[OldCrowBloke]

Agree with a couple of your outs Scorpus.
Looks like Mackay is injured, but he should go out.
I have been calling for Dougie to be looked at for weeks - today he could not have been more of a liability.

I would add Henderson - I did not want him in and his contribution was pathetic.

Thommo had an absolute shocker - he is still a warrior, but always found out when the pace of the
Game is high.

Bring back Lyons, probably Milera, maybe Knight.

Problem with omitting Henderson is that with Laird out there's not much in our reserves to replace him

 

[I Lost My Keays]

IN: Menzel and Milera
Out: McGovern and Mackay

 

[Elite Crow]

5AA saying Mackay hamstring?

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

I like it. Menz has to come in. I would try to get CEY in as well.

Heartstring?

 

[Elite Crow]

IN: Menzel and Milera
Out: McGovern and Mackay

You sound as dumb as Kym Dillon who said McGovern has been quiet for a couple of weeks and should be dropped ignoring he hurt his knee last week.

 

[Sam_Malone]

Heartstring?

Uncalled for. He is still a crows player.

 

[dplggr47]

Milera IN for Mackay (INJ/Omit)
Lyons IN for Douglas (Omit - 9 possessions is horrendous)
I'd drop Hendo and Cheney, but we got no one to come in for them.

 

[Damp Squarie]

5AA saying Mackay hamstring?

How far ken convenient I bet he rung Rowey.
SPUD

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Uncalled for. He is still a crows player.

Yes. Hoorah for the lovely boys. Clap clap clap.

 

[glengowan]

Out: Douglas, Walker (rested/injured)
In: Ellis-Yolmen, Knight

 

[Sam_Malone]

Yes. Hoorah for the lovely boys. Clap clap clap.

You can express yourself very different how you feel about the players without being a jerk about it.

Sorry to hurt your feelings.

Not hurting my feeling. Only representing yourself with those comments.

 

[Miss Vanessa]

I really want to omit Cheney for structural reasons, but his replacements are either injured (Hampton), useless (Van Berlo) or not ready (Doedee)

Other than his first five minutes where he gave up the free kick and goal and also had one turnover, did Cheney do much wrong tonight? He was the only one of the four bigger back men who didn't consistently turn over the ball in dangerous areas tonight. And so much of what went wrong down back can be blamed squarely on how poor our midfield was tonight. God they got smashed.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Only changes made this week should be forced through injury. I need to wait and see but Milera seems the likely inclusion

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Nice to have you looking out for me

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Douglas 9 possessions lol. Add in the two missed shots and he deserves to be dropped, but he won't.

Looking down on you. Not out for you.

I'm a big defender of Cheney. But he was not good against medium-sized opponents. The only thing he does well is dispose well and block space. He is not that good as a defender against actual midfielders. And really we don't need 4 defenders to stop tall players
