SA Footy

(please note new rule for posting on Crows and Port boards viewtopic.php?f=33&t=28314&p=998238#p998238)

Being played at Etihad Stadium, this Saturday 29th May 7:10 EST.

Two chances of winning.

It worked last week so why not?

St.Kilda coming back from Perth, never know.

Interesting game this week, a 4 qtr effort could produce anything. Saints will force quick movement to have any chance of scoring, hopefully the Crows have learnt from other sides who've had success against them this year.

Symes, Henderson, Jaensch all available with Thompson possibly. Knights to have a test but unlikely. A few sore boys after yesterday but would like to see minimal changes this week.

I think you will find Knights will be gone for the rest of the year, meeting with the specialist's this week to discuss surgery.

Johncock the only one to return this week unless there are any injuries that resulted from sundays game.

didnt watch the game yesterday ? Thompson got 27 possies and played and outstanding game. but Symes played a good game with the doggies and will come in for Myke Cook. but that may be the only change

Johncock pulled out of the Port team so he still has too play a game for them for the suspension from last week

How do people think Cook has been playing? Ive heard a few people say drop him. IMO i think he has shown great upside, brings pace to the game and takes the game on. Yes his disposal can let him down sometimes and he does get caught holding the ball abit, but i would rather see him back himself and take the game on rather then play safe footy.

My mistake Joker, brain fade I was referring to last week's injury list where he was a test, I did see the game yesterday and yes he played well.

I'm not sure on Cook, does some really good things but then has the odd clanger disposal or decision. I didn't see how Symes went but if he played well I'd prob bring him back in as well. It's good the give the youngsters multiple matches to get confidence in the team but also need to keep them hungry for their spot.

Are we seriously banning people from posting on here who aren't Crows supporters ? Thats the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. Some of the non-Adelaide supporters views make more sense than the actual supporters !!!

The idea of this board is for Crows fans to discuss their side without trolling from other teams fans, you may not have seen it all in the past cause it gets deleted but it has made it very hard to moderate. We have had numerous complaints from Crows fans about the trolls from other teams coming in here. We have tried to accommodate both but it hasnt worked, so we need to do this or ditch the board. We think apart from the trolling this board has been a success.

All fans are still encouraged to participate their views on the general AFL board.

The same applies to the Power Board

i have heard today that Chris Knights will have an foot op on thursday and will be put on the long term injury list making space for Matty Wright to be upgraded in the next couple of weeks.

Vince will be out for a month as his ankle is worse than first thought! Cant take a trick can we

Well said. Cook's still young and is learning week by week, I'm confident that the more games we get into him now the better player he'll be in 1-2 years time. He has some outstanding attributes, I'm confident he'll be a good player.

Honestly, I'd go no change this week. I'd give Symes one more week.

I dont know if its me or does Scott Thompson take too long to dispose by foot? It seems like 90% of the time he is being tackled as he is trying to kick, its almost like he needs to feel pressure to warrant disposing by foot, either that or hes just deaf and cant hear his team mates shouting HOT!

Hmmm...no comment from me...NFC ?

Thompson needs to be on the bottom of a pack doing the hard stuff, if he's part of a chain were in trouble. Decision Making and disposal by foot are not flash

i wonder with whats happening at St Kilda how the players will come out on saturday night. hopefully they play crap.

I picking the Saints to win by 4 goals but the crows have every chance as the are Saints without Riewoldt and coming back from a tough match in Perth last week.

Contested ball, defensive pressure and execution of skills. Last year these 3 things nearly took us to a prelim final. This year we have hardly seen them. We get these 3 things right again we will start winning more games then we loose! We showed good sings last week, its a must we continue on this week!

Believe that upgrade maybe as early as tomorrow
