I'll show me mine if you show me yours.....

You're assuming I feel like one now.

I feel more like a woman--hang on, that can be taken two ways.

Looks like Brodie is very much in contention for a round 1 debut

FIRST-ROUND draft pick Brodie Smith is on track to debut in the Crows' premiership season opener.

So important for these young guys to put the pressure on like this, really good to see

Geez, Tambling already outta the side, that didn't take long.

How to fit 28 into 22.
Who would you drop from my side to include Tambling?

and now you need to get Smith in there somewhere - maybe for an unfit Mackay or Vince

Crows ruckman hamstrung

ADELAIDE recruit Sam Jacobs could miss the rest of the pre-season competition after injuring his hamstring at training.

Jacobs made his debut for the club in round one of the NAB Cup, but pulled up lame in a running drill on Tuesday morning and has been ruled out of the Crows' clash with Fremantle at Thebarton Oval on Saturday.

 

[Gets!]

Don't worry champ. He will dominate your joke of a club when we meet in the season proper

Don't understand the bitterness? My post was relevant to the thread...besides, your most important player is Bernie Vince and that article indicates he may return this week.

 

[Vader]

Moran out of the MMC R2 game as well, with a "back complaint". Looks like our #1 ruckman will be the ever-dependable Ivan Maric, with McKernan and/or Sellar as his deputy.

I'd like to see if Smack is mobile enough to go with Sandi and Kepler - this could be a rehearsal for round 1

 

[Vessel]

Certainly has made the ruck questions easy for now. I actually quite like the idea of Jacobs and Moran having to force themselves past the others in the season proper.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Silver lining is we get to see McKernan with an extended hit out as 2R/forward which is the role he is likely gunning for.

Jacobs now a long shot for R1. If Moran only misses one match he's still very much in the mix (hopefully this is simply precaution), but this presents a massive opportunity for the durable Maric.

I've got zero doubt he will be mobile enough...we just need to see him compete well in the ruck contest, gather enough of the ball around the ground, and ensure some accountability when his opposite number goes forward.

Bradley is the prototype tweener 2R so should be a good contest.

[KUNG FU]

If Smack gets his hands on it in the centre square, look out. The main concern is his centre bounce ruck work against AFL quality ruckmen.

Back 6 could do with a little more class I think.
