The named team vs the winless Crows - 2020 round 8

wimmera sorry I did for many years
best ruck we ever had next to Greame Moss second

I get why they tried it.

But I think we’re better suited with one of them not there.

My apologies.

but yes, people are suggesting continually try new and different things to improve, what exactly is wrong/bad about that ?

Yes. That’s one way to put it.

The point I was trying to make is that I don’t think this side is as a ā€˜stale’ as many are implying. There are quite a number of developing players in this side (assuming that Cahill and Hibberd are named).

conversely , is there a limit to how much development you should try ? or finding out about players ?

it may not be as ā€œstaleā€ but it sure as hell ain’t working great either.
and the opposite is to just sit around and hope daniher, stringer and the like get over their injuries and come back at the end of this year and fix all the issues.

with the condensed fixtures coming up, you’re gonna probably have to do it anyway, so why not do a test of trial and error before you get to that period, and maybe you could then exploit a few teams who didn’t do it.

but again, things aren’t going that smoothly, and we’ve played more sides under us than above, so surely no one thinks the composition of the side at present, is going to improve beyond what they’d been able to dish up so far right ?
again it’s barely working and holding together to scrap through for wins.

The selection melts on Adelaide BF are pretty entertaining. Makes Blitz look like a safe space. Here’s a sample!

Horrible.
Just yuck yuck yuck.
Not sure I want any of those guys in the team, TBH.
That’s garbage.
Worst. Changes. Ever.
These selections are up there with one of our most disgraceful in our history.
Literally couldn’t have been worse… This club is a joke.
This is the angriest I’ve been on a selection night…
Yep, not going to bother watching this game
Burn the place down… we are a ******* shitshow… those changes are ridiculous.
I’m actually speechless… It’s beyond comprehension.

And my favourite…

Great to see the club are thinking about farewell games.

No point having talent if you are too lazy to use it

Handy that they didn’t rush Fogarty.

Would be fantastic to get this win.

Next week Shiel will return and it looks like Draper will get a shot at it.

Stringer said last week that he’s 4 weeks away - is there a legit chance that we could get him back for the Suns game I wonder?

Do all the people who are upset about Zerk not playing, want him ahead of Francis or do they want four tall defenders?

I think I would have preferred bzt for hooker and Francis for Redman.

Interesting that Worsfold was at Adelaide before coming to us.

BZT back, Azza fwd,

I get being angry over Bellchambers coming in, but if Bellchambers put in what Phillips did last week we would castrate him.

Look at what English produced tonight compared to last week. His performance is so droppable, the only issue is the guy coming in was in bad form.

Just like Francis getting games we need to get games into bzt. Just look at Ridley’s impact so far.

Can’t believe TBC is getting a game and BZT isn’t! But then I’m not on the match committee…

I would rather play McKernan in the ruck. I know he gives away silly frees, but at least he gives some second efforts

The natives are restless over here.
The club has sold their members on a 3-5 year rebuild and seeing some youth come on and then they go and pick 4 of the oldest blokes to come in whilst a couple of their youngsters who were best in the trial game on the weekend get ignored again.
