[the joker]

some goood ins for the crows.
a new look forward line
hope gilly does well

[redden whites]

That qualifies them as big ins? compared to lappin and bradshaw..you are kiddin

Bradshaw is a big in. Lappin has been an absolutely brilliant player but he hasn't played for 10 weeks and he will only play about 60% of the game if he plays, which appears unlikely. Rischitelli is a developing young player.

Get a grip. Burton/Reilly/Symes are pretty similar in terms of importance, if not moreso.

A big call mate from someone who said"Chris Ladhams could have been a great AFL player" and claims Griffen and Tippett are "GUNS"

No excuses for the Crows here. No Bradshaw for Brisbane equals a one dimensional forward line. Small forwards Corrie and Hooper aren't consistent enough to threaten one of the best defences in the business and Rutten owns Jonathon Brown.

The Crows will win this match and make the 7th ranked Brisbane their highest ranked victim for the season.

Rutten "owns" Brown only because the ball coming in to him is always sat on his head. If someone like Black or Johnstone is delivering the ball to Brownie it will be a different story. Rutten is a bloody good defender, but when Brown is hot he's impossible to stop.

[Rik E Boy]

Johnstone is a 5hite user of the ball. I went to Brisbane vs. St Kilda at the Gabba the other day and the fans were screaming bloody murder because he kept burning the ball repeatedly. Are you also saying that Black hasn't played against the Crows for years? Because that is how long Rutten has been keeping Browny quiet.

Bit hard for Johnstone to deliver it to Browny when he's a withdrawal already

GO Crows @ $2.95 early in the week

[Sojourner]

Its bad luck for the Crows not winning tonight, yet I am somewhat chuffed that I picked Brisbane to make the eight this year as I think with the win tonight Brisbane have definatley put themselves in a good position to have a go at the finals this year.

I think that the Crows to will make it though, a set back tonight for sure, yet hardly game set and match for the season.

[hearts on fire]

Good band.

[redwhiteandblueblooded]

i think the crows will win. since the start of 05 they have lost 2 games or more in a row only 5 times. and have played well up there lately. and rutten always stiches up browny

has Rutten beaten anyone this year?He is way below his best.

[RoosterMarty]

I didn't notice Brown do much last night? He never does against the Crows.

yeh brown

in your opinion. I think he is having a below par season.

[SCD]

Rutten isn't in the form he was in previous years, he doesn't seem as mobile...

However - he did have an injury around the Dream Team game and I would suspect the week off will do him the world of good and you will see the old Truck in 2 weeks.
