Himmelberg/Rowe/Sloane (in midfield) vying to replace DMack for BF Crows board whipping boy.


Rest of team pretty good.

As long as DMac doesn’t come back and replace himself I’m happy

Shouldn’t be too harsh on him but I am glad we’ve moved past that era

 

[UcantCme]

With Rowe apparent increase fitness and his lack of speed and pressure as a forward is there a chance he goes into our midfield rotations ?

I would have thought we need speed and pressure in the midfield as.well.

Im keen to see hiw Rowe plays tomorrow however if our team mantra is to hunt the footy and embrace the contest then Rowe needs to stop playing bruise free footy

I want to see some ground level pressure acts

Fantastic prep - with the SANFL lads performing and putting pressure on the a grade team.

Great to see Pedlar and Gollant having great games.

 

[StickerMan]

Wondering if anyone can assist with something I'm unable to find information on.

I've just bought four GA tickets for me and the kids for tomorrow. Does anyone know if these include seated areas? If so, where are the available seats, understanding these will be first come first serve basis?

I'm thinking they are standing room only on the grassed area?

Thanks in advance.

We could throw Himmelberg in defence if needed.

No. I’m over us throwing whoever has failed at the position that they’ve been recruited for into defence.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Downloading my ticket via mobile and sending it onto a friend (I can't go tomorrow ....) worked like a dream

Very easy with their app

Previous experiences with downloading tickets have been dire

This was my response as to what to do if we had a key defender injured during the game.

So you would prefer to remain under-sized in defence instead?

We could put Dawson to centre half back if need be as we have a number who could play wing.

Bring in McAsey and see if he’s worth keeping

We ain't sending Dawson to CHB even if we have 15 injuries

You can't bring a new player in DURING the game if someone is injured except the sub!

So what would you do if Butts was injured... play Sholl as a key defender lol.

We have 3 tall forwards, so it makes sense to send one back. My choice would be Berg.

Hinge to defense and Sholl in as sub to the wing

Yeah, that is an option... but if Freo have 2 genuine tall forwards... do you want to play a medium on them?

Yeah, it's a development year, we need to know if Himmelberg can play forward. That's more important than matchups

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Why not in a development year see whether he can play defence & what Fog can do as the go to in the forward line?

 

[Scorpus]

We already have 4 tall defenders in the SANFL, at best he'd get half a game down back before heading straight back to the forward line

Not a bad thing to build in more flexibility surely?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Yeah certainly not going to hang the kid, I think he's shown a lot of promise. I just think arguing that he was tired is going too far the other way. It's showing favouritism. If it were a less popular player fading out of games, people wouldn't be saying it was fatigue.

Fair enough , he wasn’t able to sustain what he had going for whatever reason . Likely opposition attention had a bit to do with it , doesn’t mean he can’t fight thru it

I mean from a draft position to quality ratio, he's been an absolute steal. We swooped in and stole him from under Geelong's noses and we were gifted footage of a very salty looking Chris Scott. That alone makes it worthwhile.

His kicking is a weapon, and I think with Milera and Dawson in and Hinge fit for now it might allow him to escape the attention.

That or players will go past him. If they do, we won't be in a bad spot

 

[CrowToon]

Noone has yet been able to provide one good reason why Rachele doesn't kick 5 goals today.

 

[1970crow]

5 goal games are fairly rare. 5 goal debuts even rarer.

Given his age if you put up his best 3-4 games in isolation he’s been great , now just needs to close the gap between best and worst

which player are you talking about?
