I don't see it Dms56. But I do see similarities to a young 'robbie'. Pre Barassi. The other sides of the coins are, * he is not copping a run with minder, while he moves about. escaping negating tactics. * his moving around keeps him free to follow his natural instincts * he's helping us fill gaps that aids us all,,, as we move towards a finals appearance Next season, maybe he might find a more regular position. Whom,,, I think Mono. ?

I'm not a huge brad green fan msf. He was a good player, but not as good as he should have been, and not as good as many believe. Similarly, most of the 'champs' of his time as leader. He was the wrong leader, as well.

He'll be much better than just Brad Green.

Not with them in the finals, he shouldn't. He's still part of the club, until the contract is up end of season. Unfair to use it, to distract them.

the Blues do not need more elite young talent... they need mature leaders to drive the bandwagon. And they need off-field direction away from getting early picks to play trades with... list management is alive and well down princes park in 2018. Lets see if the blues play trade games with the crows this trade period with the blues first pick... if the blues trade it to the Crows, there has to be an investigation of the 2 clubs,,, going back to last years Gibbs trade.

Andrew Gaff

LoL I only commented as I tried to watch it the last week & it is just more of the same old garbbb. billy and the crew. the boys bickering first thing and ego's galore... figjam show. its reemerging at 9 again. judd now, on Footy class... is another figjam. No wonder C@rtoon are struggling. Ego Central I wonder If Fitzy will get Gill' to give them a Priority Pick, even in Comm Fitszy's absence.

who can be bothered watching that show???

I'm only an amateur killer, so lets meet we can 'kill bill' together then. I don't mind, if you don't. ... a good mate was returned SAS, sniper, god rest his soul... because he couldn't. its all a mess.

I mean accidents happen, and sometimes out of our own will or control... auto response can happen under sever pressure. And we know that gaff is under severe pressure. No I don't like defence forces killing people, of any so-called side... and I don't like whats is going on with the Palestinians. 2 wrongs do not add up to, "they deserved it". It takes 2 to tango (fight). And both are wrong; unless one is first attacked and then defends,,, without attacking back. Gaffs hit was accidental. It happened, he didn't mean it. 'fight and flight' mode happens, under great stress... just as stress also brings on depression, often.

This will be a ding-dong fight to the end.

H wouldn't have been aware of the damage.

They have full faith in the talent already on their list.. So, they do not NEED, a Priority Pick.

How can people want to be the hanging judge on hits in an aggressive physical contact game and at the same time as a nation we condone mentally training our young men to be paid Killers for the armed forces or lately our police forces.? And then these armed forces folk when they get home are de-arranged ticking time-bombs, in the right circumstances. We talk about terrorists coming back here as dangerous, yet we train our own of a similar ability. .... having our cake, and eating it as well. some people will always find ways to barrack for their own views... no matter what. without need of question, or a mirror.

Well we will need him for the Eagles match. May as well get him in this week, to settle the back half now; as we are exposed for size and maturity down there.

I didn't see it hb. I don't know, but I think its time we got some maturity and strength back into our defence... and Pedo is so widely skilled, he can add to our flexibility. Pedo in this week with Melks, Hibbo back hopefully for the Eagles clash? Then we're slowly building again.

This is the main area the AFL need to fix, Re laws. The whistle blows, the clock should STOP ! Not kick countdown needed. "Clock On" should not happen, until the ball is disposed of... A man down for 10,,, would force players back I would imagine.... and the return of powerful marking big men.

Game time...

Buddy is about the only tall in Swans forward half. Frost IMO will be 1st option on Bud.. as he has the speed to go with him. OMc does not. If Bud plays Deep... Neither OMc or Frost have the body strength. If Allir Allir or other goes forward with Buddy, we don't have the cattle to match him. Pedo comes in as Full back and has the strength to match Buddy or Allir Allir in deep defence Pedo is a much better kick than either OMc or Frost.. and he can run with the ball and deliver. OMc has been off his game recently. This game against the Swans is a MUST WIN Game for us, as we compete for the same area of the ladder... Much much more important than the games against the Eagles or the Giants... as these 2 teams are a lock-in for Finals. We can hold out the Swans and save our spot inside the eight. THIS is the crucial game for our season, right now. I don't think either JKH or Vanders will come out of this team... they are both too mature and reliable, defensively. IF any others miss it would be Fritsch... He is tired and needs a break, but we cannot afford to be without him in this important match, because of his reading the play, and his skills at both ends. I would rest Fritsch against the Eagles, in Perth. .

The why is always a good starting point. So,,,, Why do people want Mitchell as an assistant then ?????? He's never coached? ... theres that Why.

A quality person and a great player Ex Sydney;,,, who has been coaching with the Crows for the past 4 years or so. * He has the Swans ethics culture, built in... we can expect to meet the Swans in finals in coming seasons. * He knows the Crows players, and Styles/methods, which we will be playing in Finals against in coming seasons. * He knows footy inside out, (especially forward/mids) & he's looking for a coaching role in the AFL, currently. * He's a winner. Other than these thoughts, I can't say anymore than that,,, other then he's always been one of my Favs as a player. We have a few players who try to play as Half forwards/Mids.... ROk's specialty. .

IMO Gaff should miss the same amount of time lost by young Brayshaw, plus some, for the undisciplined and unwarranted action. What if Miller killed Lonergan ? accidents do happen, unintentionally ? A kid throws a rope over a branch on a tree, inside the front yard... he tries to climb the rope, the branch snaps and falls, hitting a pedestrian on the footpath, killing them ? .

Pedo for OMc Melks for jSmith Emerg: Hannan

Ryan on the lookout. Ryan O'Keefe is on the lookout for a coaching role in the AFL. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-08-03/clubs-show-interest-in-discarded-crows-assistant0 We could do much worse than look at him.
