In:  Gawn, Hore, Brown, Woewodin (Sub)

Out: Kolt (inj), Salem (inj), Turner

Turner unlucky but I think we are too tall and slow up forward if he plays with Max back

I like the idea of hore in the side to play the old Hibbard role, think we really need that ball reading ability.  If wet maybe Howes instead

Pup earned a track as did Billings from their games on the weekend

    Richmond got a crowd of 19K to their game against the Giants two weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon. 

    Given our respective member numbers and the poor forecast for Saturday night, are we in danger of falling below that number? 

    SEN seems to think so. Garbage outlet.

    There are people on here who have admitted that they refuse to go to games to "protest" against what they perceive to be poor performance of the club.

    Our own members admit they don't go to games. Hard to blame the media from having a dig at us then.

    FWIW I agree with the other posters who are concerned we will get a lower crowd than the 19k Richmond got two weeks ago. We might play well on Saturday nights but we don't draw good crowds to them, even at the best of times. I reckon we'd do better crowd-wise if this was 1.10pm Sunday.

    Apparently both May and Lever have pulled up sore and are in serious doubt/wont play??

    Could explain the Jed Adams coach talk mentioned in the training thread.

    On form he absolutely deserves to be dropped. His numbers are all down by the eyeball test is even worse, just has no impact on games.

    Unfortunately the cupboard is bare and the inclusions are uninspiring. Would've much prefered to see Brown than Laurie.

    Did such a great job defending the Freo mids as they won the first 24 clearances of the match. 

    Sparrow dropped is great news. At his best, he is slightly unheralded. He hasn't been at his best for a long while.

    So in: Gawn, Laurie, Woewodin, 

    Out: Salem, Sparrow, Tholstrup

    Interesting changes. Woey to get a full game as the 7th defender?

    When was the last time he played at Casey?

    • Shocked 1

    Sparrow out is left field but fair given our midfield was horrible last week. 
    Not sure Laurie will do better tho. 
     

    God help us with the rumours about May and Lever are true. Disco will certainly have to go back to cover May and Howes will replace Lever? 
    Surely they’d have Tomlinson as emergency if May was in doubt.

    Brown with 24 tackles deserved a call up Outstanding performance

    After 24 tackles, 27 disposals, 11 clearances and a goal for Casey on the weekend do we reward K. BROWN with a game against the giants?

    Those sorta numbers force him into the team, don’t they?? 

    Obviously not 😣

    There’s no way we name those emergencies if May and Lever are in serious doubt. 
    Brown is a bit stiff.

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
