Changes for round 2 Crows

Prior should have been told last night that he won’t be playing this week.
Absolute non negotiable

I was never sold on him watching the pre-season games. Maybe he got too much respect because he is from Brisbane.

One thing I thought he would good at is contest stuff, when you look at how he is built. But he certain didn’t bring any of that.

Harsh on one game but your probably right.

Edwards and Hayes are the obvious ins right?

He had a bad night and I can forgive him for a few of those moments where he was out bodied or out marked but that bit of play on Newcombe should see anyone dropped. The best player on the side shouldn’t be immune to being roasted for that

How tall are the crows do we really need another tall defender, just let Redman take them. After last night would prefer el-Hawli or even Setterfield to spend some time in defence over having another tall who can’t intercept mark.

Yep but look he had friends who had a bad night in terms of execution. And hawthorn were on.

I think it depends on matchups but I’d be inclined to give him one more game.

Also have no problem if he’s dropped until he improves in the VFL

You don’t need a tall for Fogarty.

Not necessary to replace Ridley and Langford like-for-like. There are magnets that can be moved, like Jones only forward and Redman only back, that allow flexibility to bring in any type of player. In any case, Gresham starts.

Reid is going to have one of Thilthorpe and Walker. Either one will push him out of marking contests pretty much at will. I’m more than happy to keep playing him, but there are going to times when it gets a bit ugly if he can’t hold his ground better than he did against Chol last night.

I hope Brad put it on them for the back 6 to lift

2 wins before the Round 16 bye is very likely.

Fogarty is a big body and is good overhead. They will most likely bring in Laverne to play on him an
And possibly Edwards for Langers

Ridley out for SEH, get Redmond back into defence to replace
Bring in a small for Langford
Harry Jones forward, SEH replaces him on wing.

Isn’t Laverde injured?

Can’t play Hobbs and Tsatas in the same midfield. This is probably the best solution to play Hobbs as the sub
