Review Round 14 vs Crows at Metricon Stadium, Sunday 19th June, 3:20pm AEST

[JayDee987]

I really enjoyed Budarick's interview saying how he was a supporter when he was little. So good to see. Hoping there's more young supporters who pick an AFL career.

Looking forward to this game. We can't lose these ones but I'm just really happy to see the team winning with positive news from the media. On a side, I've been a supporter since their foundation year and I've always said the only thing that will stop me from going to their finals game will be the birth of my child.... The first year in forever they look like making finals and I'm due to give birth then. I'm so conflicted between wanting them to make finals and hoping I don't miss it.

couple of big games coming up, but we lose this one and the ones that follow probably dont matter.
we need to beat the teams below us and around us if we are truly on our way

 

[RowellAnderson12]

If Hollands debut, this could be our most watched game since Rowell was in Brownlow form.

Everyone is itching to see Hollands especially AFL Fantasy/Supercoach coaches. Standalone Sunday, Prime Time.

Make it happen Dew

One Big step to hollands

I've noticed Day is also on the extended bench. Surely we're not playing him, Casboult and Chol all in the same team? Leaves us very top heavy.

One Big step to hollands

Yes, it could be happening.

Does pressure forward that kicks goals turn into Hollands? I'm not sure.

 

[Jen2310]

Sam Flanders has earned a call-up to the senior team, coming in for Malcolm Rosas Jnr who will miss the match with illness.

Rosas Jnr has been replaced on the emergency list by Darcy Macpherson.

As announced in the squad yesterday, Sean Lemmens and Levi Casboult will also return to the line-up.

Lachie Weller comes out of the team after injuring his ACL, while Sam Day has also been omitted to accommodate the return of Casboult.

The emergency list consists of Jack Bowes, Sam Day, Elijah Hollands and Darcy Macpherson, with one of those four to be named the medical substitute an hour before the bounce.

 

[Southern Sun]

Have to say, well done to Flanders for going back and playing good consistent footy and earning a recall bit geez I'm flat. Would have loved a hollands debut or a bowes return.

They will get opportunity. IMO, Flanders performed as good as them in VFL. Probably best replacement for Rosas. Good to have selection issues.

Looking forward to watch double header on Sun in person.

 

[The Kings Ransom]

Hope Sam comes in and plays really well.
Has been really good in the 2's.

The difficulty is coming in and playing a different role - likely to a be a pressure forward / perhaps a midfield cameo.
Laying inside 50 tackles, hitting the scoreboard and having physical impact if he gets midfield time has to be the brief.

Crows don't really have many true defensive smalls

Decent small forwards tend to kick goals on them

Our smalls could be a source of goals this week.

 

[kreglze]

Glad to see Flanders get a run. Expect Bowes to be the sub.

 

[Supersuns]

Stoked to see Neddy back

 

[GC2015]

Glad to see Flanders get a run. Expect Bowes to be the sub.

Not my preference but Bowes could act as a super sub in some ways if he makes his way onto the field at some point after halftime. Not with his speed but more so with his skills.

 

[Deleted member 2402071]

A shit stat for tomorrow. Our current record is 1 win & 11 losses for the game after the bye

 

[GC2015]

GAME DAY!

I've got a good feeling about this one.

Casboult is back and we're primed to make our move.

Let's go!

 

[Big Red Machine]

I'm nervous.

But I want to believe.

 

[Cheifkeith95]

Super nervous for this a game we should win at home but the bye drop off is always a worry I just pray we’re finally over it

 

[Young_Guns]

Just get the win.

Our players historically just don’t bother coming back after the bye and this is where our free fall to the bottom of the ladder normally picks up speed, So will be a good test of where we are at.

The Crows may have only won 4 games, but they are very similar to us in that they rely on winning the contested ball and clearances to go anywhere. Contested possessions they are 4th (we are 3rd), Clearances they are 4th (we are 3rd), and stoppage clearances they are =1st with us. The battle between Witts/Miller/Rowell/Anderson and OBrien/Keays/Laird/Crouch will be a big one.

 

[Iva Bigun]

Time to put up or shut up, today we will see if we truely have improved

No blistering heat to zap the competition and a host of poor performances post bye. Time to break the mould

 

[The Kings Ransom]

Get the ball into our forward line and keep it there - we should be able to kick a winning score.
They are quite inexperienced down back.

Butts 22y, 33 games
Murray 21y, 16 games
Doedee 25y, 63 games
Hamill 21y, 31 games
Parnell 20y, 1 game
Smith 30y, 215 games
Dawson 25y, 76 games

Holman to play a negative game on either Smith or Dawson.
Flanders probably spend time on the other.
