Squad:

B: Michael Doughty, Ben Rutten, Jared Petrenko
HB: Simon Goodwin, Nathan Bock, Richard Douglas

Inter (from): Myke Cook, Chris Knights, Brett Burton, Scott Stevens, Shaun McKernan, Tony Armstrong, Chris Schmidt
Into 25: Knights, McKernan, Armstrong, Stevens, Schmidt

I reckon Knights, McKernan & Stevens will play, with Armstrong & Schmidt to miss.

[NFC]

In: Knights, Stevens
Out: Sellar (hamstring), Young

EMG: Shaun McKernan, Tony Armstrong, Chris Schmidt

Schmidt will play if Goodwin misses.

If Melbourne could possibly play as well as they did last week then you blokes would get done. Good news though - they can't. Crows by 5 goals.

Crows by 3 goals for mine

[Psyber]

One ruckman again, unless they take Tippett out of the forward line part of the time.
Can Hentschell kick goals or ruck, or will Stevens go to the forward line then?

Yea, I don't really like that either. Reckon McKernan should be playing tomorrow, but anyways.

I was rather hoping the Crows hierarchy watched the direct style St Kilda used last night, demonstrating it can be done without a Riewoldt up front..

Especially with Jamar in career best form. Jamar has been knocking on the door for a number of seasons now without really looking like it except for one game where he bagged a haul of five goals. Now he has put back to back good games together and might pose a few problems for the blackbirds.

What ever happened to Van Berlo??

What ever happened to Van Berlo??

Reckon problems with his back again

[Mop Up]

* sigh * really dunno what to say about this..

All I can say is the boys tried their heart out at the end, to be well underdone, and down to none on the bench, gutsy effort

BUT

still its a loss, shouldve been better in first half, and it was against Melbourne...

Could be a loooooong year!

[tiger07andbeyond]

gutsy effort?

don't know what game you were watching. psss weak

[Mop Up]

Your the type of crows supporter I'm so ashamed of every home game. Always critical, never encrouage or cheer, never satisified! Sure at the moment you've got some ammo, we all do, and its been attrocious football but mate seriously give us something that atleast makes us think youve turned a cog in ya head.

PISS WEAK

SHIT FOOTBALL

SACK EM

Give us something constructive mate

[Mop Up]

I was talking about being down to none on the bench at the end, couldnt have been easy the way AFL is played these days....

As far as their tackling and chasing efforts in the first 3 qtrs... yes id agree, very poor!

[Mop Up]

We look soo slow out there, we dont have the player that can break the lines and take a chance like a Lovett for Ess last year, etc...

Also our decision making is incredibly slow, how many times we got the ball today and were just not aware of the traffic around us and get done holding the ball is shocking
