The Crows have their work cut out finding a soul without trying to locate their dick at the same time. ;)

This whole club v corporation thing is a joke. Things swing around in round a bouts for all clubs and club v corporation has **** all to do with it. Geelong didn't win a flag in Donkeys years ffs.

Ah, the old "not a real club" debate. Seems pretty over rated an argument if you ask me. The most important year in any football club's history is its last. Anything that happened 10 years ago is in a bygone era and anything 25 years earlier is a distant memory.

It's only an argument used when it best suits people. All clubs go through the shit years and those statements aren't used when it's tough to win games.

Yep, plenty of successful franchises in world sport. Just have to look at the EPL, NFL, Major League Baseball, Ice Hockey, Australian Soccer clubs etc. Sh!t even Melbourne Storm is a franchise.

Great! Now that we have all had our dip at the crows and we are all comfortable with our dick sizes its back to the football.

Jacobs in doubt this week would mean surely he will be rested even if he can get up for it.
Would give young O'Brian a run.

Also will Walker will be back this week?

Either the crows will want to win by a cricket score to boost the % as its tight in the top 4.

Why would they bring Walker back? Looked much better without him.

I think Jacobs and Walker will both not play. If you miss one with an ankle you'd probably miss two, especially against Brisbane at home.
It would be a good opportunity to see how O'Brien goes under the big tent.
I hear they might be resting Thommo for this game also, so expect CEY to come in I reckon.

Seeing as the 4 points is in the bag and we're only talking percentage in this game, I agree, no point playing either Walker or Jacobs, especially Jacobs in this one. Although Brisbane did rest Stef Martin last week against us, perhaps they had their eye on this game a few weeks ago. :lol:

unfortunately the % is just as important as the 4 points the way the 8 is shaping. Hopefully if they do bring in some fresh faces they are motivated enough to push to the line and put Brisbane away by a big margin.
