[GWW]

Being played at Aurora Stadium (Launceston, Tasmania) Saturday June 12th, 2:10pm.

[Thiele]

At least 3 Changes this week

[the joker]

why three changes?
Bock (if fit) or Sellar to come in for Davis
and Propably Symes to come in for Mcleod

[Hondo]

On radio Neil Craig did mention a 3rd forced change but I can't think now who it was

Wouldn't be Edwards out would it??
Reckon Schmidt will come back in

[Hondo]

Doh! Yes, Tyson Edwards of course

[hawks21]

Edwards OUT - Cook IN
Mcleod OUT - Symes IN
Davis OUT - If Bock isnt fit, we may need to find a 3rd tall defender with Buddy coming back in

how did i forget Tyson. but i think the Coaching Staff a fairly keen on giving Matty Wright a game soon. and all clubs can upgrade another rookie after round 11. dont be surprised if he plays saturday

[FD88]

Bock will play, him in for Davis. Cook in for Edwards and Henderson in for McLeod, reckon they might move Super Pets to defense.

Can't believe how much hasn't gone right for the Crows this year. Think they'll get over the hawks in a closeish one though.

[in the mix]

Can't see the Crows getting up at all, especially away from home.

Hawthorn have won 4 on the trot, Adelaide just 1 and needed a cause to get up.
With Edwards & McLeod out, Franklin back in, i can't see the young mids matching it with Mitchell, Lewis, Burgoyne, Hodge.
They will miss Bateman though.

Hawks by 32pts

I think we can match them in the middle with the likes of Thompson, Goodwin, Van Berlo and Dangerfield. Maric has been in great form all year and with Griffen should give us first use of the ball in the ruck againt Renouf. Hoping for a dry day also as I think our attack can stretch the Hawks defence. Not going to be easy but if we can play another game like last week then i think we are a real chance!

Crows 1-12

[Dig]

I think the boys may struggle this week losing McLeod, Edwards & Davis. They may be a bit spent after last weeks awesome effort to beat Freo and all the hype being Edwards last game. Hope I am wrong. I also think we can match them thru the middle. As you say Hawks21 get first use of it out the middle and we are definitely in with a good chance if Walks and Tippet are switched on to finish it off. Bout time for Porpus to get a few touches too. Good to have Bock back, hopefully Franklin doesn't fire after a few weeks off. GO CROWS!!!

[NFC]

Edwards OUT - Cook IN
Mcleod OUT - Symes IN
Davis OUT - If Bock isnt fit, we may need to find a 3rd tall defender with Buddy coming back in

Agreed with these changes, and if Bock isn't fit, I'd go Henderson.

[Interceptor]

Official:

In: Bock, Symes, Henderson
Out: Phil Davis (shoulder), Andrew McLeod (knee), Tyson Edwards (retired)

[NFC]

Would've liked to see Cook but happy with those changes.

Hendo!

[Sorry Dude]

I have more of a confident feeling going in to this week more so than last week. I think there will only be 3 goals in it each way, and i can't see why it wont go the crows way.

[Reddeer]

Another great display of handballing madness

[Mad Mat]

Good to see Symes has lost none of his ability to butcher the ball

Midfield got absolutely smashed.

[JK]

Only caught about half of the game today, but gee some of the kids need some time to develop in the key area of tackling.

Unfortunately, Walks has a LONG way to go in this area ... He needs to learn that just running up to the ball carrier isn't enough, you need to find that desperation at the end of it to pressure disposal.

Another one, and he's good at the %1ers as a rule so this is a bit stiff on him, but I noticed Dangerfield twice catch up to an opponent, but went the tackle just after they'd disposed of it instead of going at the ball (ie, smother or slap at the ball prior to kick) as they were disposing.

Small things I know, but key things in this day and age.
