58er

Didn't he have a Rob too and Adelaide bottom on the jumper ?

Fritsch takes one on ones and Hanna took one in the third quarter just before 3/4 time in the semi vs Hawks in 2018 and late vs Saints at the G in 2017 from memory!!!

Agree about Viney to Selwood and perhaps Harmesy to Danger

My explanation for Harley is that his program management was already mapped out for a 2:1 play and miss at this stage. And this may be the plan fir the next block of three games till later in The season or occur fir the the whole season! Last weeks intraclub was matchlike In time And tberefore he has played 2 games and now needs a rest in his 2020 program. Liken it to a horse having a very serious track gallop if th races are cancelled and is on a schedule fir the major Cup races. The plan in fitness is not altered. I don't have any doubt what Goody said and it has proved truthful. Why doubt it Picket???and etc!!! Kossie Angus Jacko and Lockhart (or Jonesy for Jacko) I expect to be the changes. Nev is off the boil but will come back Smithy is very lucky but FD and Goody seem determined to give him a favourable run. Time will tell but I also hope he has to switched forward during the match. Maybe to win the game. We need to play well and be competitive vs Cats after last year and to get our season really started seriously. Win the rucks and mids go to town with pressure and ball carry so their defence is under pressure all day. Pace is one of the keys and ball movement essential and Kossie and Jay and Angus plus the wingers must play boldly. Lets see it will be fascinating. Go Dees

What hub? We won't be in another probably as we have already done 5 away games West Coast Carlton Essendon Sydney and Freo at a max there are 4 more away games maybe 3 so either 6 or 7 games will be at home MCG fir the rest of the season. They will qualify fir the $180/200 rebate from the MCC which is a godsend. Hopefully the Tigers Pies Hawks and even Saints games and maybe a crowd can come but unless over 25,000 forget any profit.Maybe Port at Alice Springs a good result ! It is a season they we must start by showing we are up and about and Sunday would be an ideal start. A win over the Cats puts them 1_3 and we are 2-1. Freo Sydney and Cats plus Dogs is a 3-1 Chance. Let's get our act together Dees in 2020 and show we are serious.

Stupid comment Hsving 3 teams share the one Venue ? Imagine if one player got the virus? Its Essendon by THREE with all the drama Thsts why we are singly alone at Casey!

Seriously what a bunch of negative nellies D/L has providing posts. like in life nothing was meant to be easy that's with fighting for. Hss anyone questioned the war years and flags then? Last time I checked flags counted as the same as in non war years and the Clubs didn't discriminate nor due the record books. It is what it is! HAve the attitude that we play any where any time and give everything because some Clubs may not And should care if you win it whatever happens. Afterwards don't devalue or Discriminate the Effort of the eventual premier!!! Oh and please don't bore the pages of social media with post after post of hard luck stories of inequality and Favouritism or chances lost due to fate!

Dies nit surprise me He has appeared as a bit if a loose cannon as a person and player He is also homesick and not a great decision maker obviously. Deserves 3/4 weeks out.

He had played 3/4 games prior then vs Swans WCE and GWS and maybe Suns

Here here Mel

Legion wrong on all counts Jonesy had a bad one but not habitual kicker to opposition Lockhart every inch a player in defence Will be a long term mer once he gets back in He's eyeing Lord News spot And will be there at end of season. Tommy needs to respond with goals and marks to assist the smalls also. Let's see again how he goes.

Tomo was in the ruck For GWS a fair proportion of the Prelim Final last year especially when the ball was up forward And was very competitive too against Grundy.

No agree BD Jay should be in defence toAssist if Tippa gets loose. Will be regular by end of season Demon 11 fails to appreciate the pace and skill as he breaks lines which we need from defence. P

My idea is that if you get Weid doing some ruck work each quarter he gets involved in the game and Is far more prepared on the forward line to compete and take marks. He got 20 disposals plus hit outs the day in the Marsh Cup that Maxy missed vs Crows. Needs action to be forced when In the ruck and responds To this not waiting fir the ball and bound by 2/3 defenders.

Sue we can see better on TV than Stephan May did last week when kicking out! Could see the players end gaps etc. But he couldn't see Tomlinsons wing and that he is taller than his opponent and may well be an sdvantage to kick to!! Indtead of the ball coming back most of the time through inaccurate passing or poor judgement by our players !

No wrong it's Jets or Hibbo under pressure or Smith. if Jay played up forward then Jonesy might but he will lift on Sunday last week was as poor a game as he has ever played.

No ur wrong HB That night he didn't change Oscar off Hawkins till about 15/17 mins in after Tommy Hawkins has kicked 2 or 3 goals. Dont think he got Any more but Frosty closed on him and punched the ball away on the lead. As we all know we lost that game after the siren BUT I will always blame Goody for that LOSS which Cost us a top 4 Spot that year. Yes it's heartbreaking to see other Coaches tweak Their teams and win during games and we seem to be brain dead o the Coaches box! Thought Alan Richardson would have some input at least in this area!

Not me JTR

Roos is not here anymore It is irrelevant mostly to bring that Up. i am getting more disappointed by what's happening and believe at some stage very soon Weid must be given an opportunity to obtain a senior berth be it at CHB or CHF or FF or as FPocket/2nd Ruck backup to Gawny. I believe his best games have been as a ruck/forward and he needs to hit the scoreboard to get any credit by Coaches and fans alike. If Maxy was injured and Preuss not fit Weid would no doubt selected in the No1 ruck role. in the Marsh Cup he was very promising with nearly 20 disposals inc team role around the ground with some marks. That's why I favour this role as its best fir the team and Maxy as well. Jacko could still be in the team if form warranted because of his mobility and competitive nature gaining valuable experience rather than linguish in the scrap games week after week. Playing Fritta at FF will only work on some occasions but not consistently as he is not powerful enough in contests and needs to run around and create opportunities equally as well. We have this year and next I think as Weid is contracted until next years end to get it right. It's the biggest challenge of any player on our list and many of us ( and the FD and Coaches ) have only so much patience and confidence is so vital for him to succeed. Maybe a chat with a Wayne Carey or that ilk might help!!

Why /How fo you think Jonesy is injured? TMac is not totally out of form Yes he didn't score last week but give him another chance and LJ also. Smith lucky Lockhart better suited us faster and classier. ANB ok last week Prob deserves another chance not at Kossies expense though. Interesting clash plenty of questions to be answered. Even money if we can limit Tippa.

Looks as though it had been amended thank goodness !

At this stage all Mark R is doing is trying to justify his role and Adelaide's policy of not paying its players "overs" to keep them. If that means losing them so be it and he thinks that's all there is to it. However he refuses to reconcile that WHY are they leaving what many thought was a very strong and well run organisation in 2017 ( even after the Tippett affair) of overpayment and salary cap/ draft penalty /ies. Of course since Losing the 2017 Final the following Has occurred (1) Hugely stressful and even racist happenings to players At a Camp Trying to gain a leading edge on other Clubs (2) Very poor administration Trying to hide drink driving charges Of Steglein (3) Another Camp error at Barossa breaking Covid-19 rules and (4) things like the Tex Dummy spits and Andrew Macleod unwelcome expressions. Approximately a dozen players have either requested leave from the Club as a result of its pay program and Camp handling of refusing to acknowledge full blame. in addition a highly confidential outside enquiry at end of 2019 resulted in officials like Brett Burton parting or being shown the door. Three people have remained constants at the Crows ALL this time Chairman Rod Chapman, CEO Andrew Fagan and Football Director/Board Member Mark Ricuitto ( seemingly untouchable ). Snd that a result of why Roo is trying to hide some real facts instead of joining His Chairman and taking his CEO in calling it a day at this seasons end. And that's all we are aware of!!! The Club is now at its lowest ebb in its 29 year history but does have 5 draft picks in the first 25 in the 2020 National Draft so a quick rebound could be possible if the right recruits are obtained to overcome a solid but not pacy midfield. Roo has lashed out unwisely in Trying to protect the Crows without the full story being told in my IMO.

Yes but remember Trac has gone into midfield just now and looks as though he will average about 2 a game He of course is 24 and just hitting his peak like Cripps I now believe Clarry will gain status now that's Trac is in the midfield as they feed off each other That alone has got to make us a 2/3 goal better team!

Seems that's likely but ur means 7 FTA is on only now on Thurs and Frid night games !! if that's what Gil has arranged its nit such a great deal then. Uts the same as fir the next 2 rounds vs Geel and Sydney

Sorry Werridee but I am including Jay in the 7 instead of Smithy fir the reasons I gave! We don't Need to have any limit really but 7 or 8 is max for training Purposes. In any case I directly see Jay as Lord Nevs replacement and like Rivers/Hibberd it's looking imminent. Goody's desire for the need for pace would be further acceded and our run and carry improved. (Don't want Nev to be discarded unless he becomes slower or doesn't play his one on one role as well as before.) Yes Smithy can with training and scratch matches improve his footy smarts and judgement as no doubt his athleticism is tantalising rather like Sean Wight without the surety. Kossie should come in no doubt and Is Vanders ready ? iMO Jonesy had a real downer on Sat but to say he is Finished (Marsh game vs Crows was lively and knows where the goals are and can pass the ball) Is premature. Jacko should be given another game at least and maybe Weid included as talls are neeeded vs Bombers to provide marking options. Sounds as though we need 25 named or more!!! Should be a very hotly contested Game and if we can win this we are on our way even with a very young group in this rather quick and instant mini rebuild. At least we have options in 2020 in contrast to 2019 when they were in rehab or in the stands watching.0
