What happened to Kelly?
I think, it’s fair to say, that nobody has received as much a public flogging as Will Kelly. He came on in the last (because, at this point, Krueger had become a liability) we were staring down the barrel. Fly chucked around the magnets. Kelly went to “his wing” and shut it down! The kid did the job. He even put on a critical block to allow Ruscoe to win a critical contested ball in the dying minutes on the outer wing.
When a battler plays his part in turning around a probable loss he deserves a pat on the back.

Agree mate.
 
OUT: Krueger, Ruscoe, Markov
IN: Cox, Murphy, Adams

If Pendles is too hurt, bring in Allan.

Cox isn't even running yet and there's going to be a fair gap between him getting the go ahead to run and him getting the go ahead to cop a 100kg knee to the guts in a ruck contest.
 
Agree mate.
I also remember, I’m not too sure many did?… but Ruscoe drilled a ball perfectly down Ginnivan’s throat in the last to set up a critical goal. Ruscoe also manned up, played on Langford when he was running hot (and got taken to the hot spot in the goalsquare) and did not drop his bundle. Ruscoe DEFENDED and USED THE BALL WELL. Defenders usually don’t get dropped when they go those jobs. He’s also a good height and packed on the muscle. Adelaide has some big units in their forward line.
The kid needs to be rewarded. Murphy, Ruscoe, Moore, Bruz with Q and Daics is good looking unit.
 
Great team effort and nothing more can be said about ND that hasn't already been said, but for mine the work of Sidebottom for 4 quarters and Pendles for 3 were very influential factors going into the last quarter.
 
OK perhaps I’m being overly optimistic to think that Cox can return next week.

The Crows have a really strong set of talls, so we can’t afford to go in shorter than we did this week. So Krueger stays in and probably Kelly too, as sub.

OUT: two of Ruscoe, Markov, WHE
IN: Murphy, Adams

Who is NB?
 
Id expect pendles to be out this week. Adams in for him.

I think it could be interesting to see what our backline looks like with both ruscoe and murphy. I think we would still have enough players to cover and provide run.

I would consider giving Elliot a week off if he needs it and give Carmy a run in the forward line, or else JC should be the sub.

Why would Pendles be out?

It's basically our preferred structure just with different, a bit lesser, personnel: Moore, Howe, Murphy, Bruzzy
Moore Frampton Murphy, Bruzzy
Moore, Murphy, Ruscoe, Bruzzy
 
Good game today.
Think there are a few sore boys, hopefully Ruscoe gets another game as he shows a bit for mine.

Murphy back for sure and think we can get Adams in too.

Maybe out this week is Pendles and Kruger.

But if Pendles is okay give Elliot a spell he copped a lot of big hits the last 3-4 games.



from my Delorean
 
Against a team like the CrowBots, with big strong units, I don’t think Harry Houdini (aka Markov) is needed. There is no chance he picks up a Rachele, Soligo, Rankine ahead of Q, Bruz or GingerNuts Noble. Markov will get another gig when we come up against the Saints, Dees or another team loaded with small forwards.
 
In Murphy, Adams, Carmichael
Out Ruscoe, Krueger, Pendlebury (inj/managed).

I'll try Will Kelly as a 2nd ruck option ahead of Krueger.
 
Yeah, he might need a week off.

Good luck to the selectors! For now I'd say:

In: Murphy Adams
Out: Kreuger Pendlebury (inj)

Ruscoe gets another game for sure. Kelly cameo was decent too I thought, maybe hard to squeeze him into the 22? Another week as sub maybe. Markov taking strides too, great to see
