Adelaide vs North Melbourne

Postby the joker » Tue Jun 09, 2009 6:57 pm

Big game for the crows this week, win and get two in front of Win loss Ratio and the season really opens up, will propably only be one Change with Goodwin missing and Reilly coming in, basically a straight swap.
interesting to see what Dutchy thinks of this game, crows record over the Roos is outstanding, the crows have won 8 of the last 10 and the last 7 in a row that is propably the best in the row wins of any team at the moment. unless Geelong beat that.

The Crows will be looking at this game as a much win and a game where they Try and get their percentage to over 100, Percentage is very important with 6 wins and low percentage not having you in the 8 at the moment so maybe 12 wins and low percentage might not be enough to make the finals.

Yep, as long as the Crows continue going in as hard as they have the last couple of weeks then they should win fairly easily. Reilly a very handy swap for Goodwin, shouldn't feel that loss too much.

Crows by 30+

The only doubt is that the Crows are a young side, and young sides can get ahead of themselves and serve up the occasional stinker, fingers crossed Craigy and Co can keep a lid on it. It is also a milestone game for Nth with Simpson cracking the 300, always a bit of emotion involved when a player cracks the triple ton as we saw last week.

Walker out and Seller in would be a possible change.

Apart from that the Crows should win this easily if they think they're capable of making September action.

No way would I drop Walker for Sellar!

Walker is a gun while Sellar is an average SANFL player.

Crows to win by 8 goals.

No way ? Righto !! We'll see.

Maybe not this week, but it'll happen soon. Walker's only a young kid, who will find it hard to sustain a full year in the AFL. They'll give Seller a crack for when they
"rest" Walker.....

The difference with Walker and your regular rookie is that he can have a quiet game and still have an impact as we saw last week. Barely touched the footy and yet when he did kicked 2 superb goals that lifted Adelaide and demoralised Essendon at a crucial time in the match. You don't drop players like that, if you're going to 'rest' them it's on the bench (again, like last week).

I think Crows and their fans should still be celebrating the great win last weekend, just like 5AA last night, no mention of this match....

they will rather get invaluable game time into Walker rather than gift Sellar a game.

Sellars form has been improving and he may come into the side on the back of that but not at Walkers expense.

Yep, on current form you would think only injury would result in a change to the line up (ie Sellar needs a big man to have an injury to get a shot).

Why rest Walker when the mid season break is on this round? He won't need a rest anyway as he isn't getting a large amount of Time on Ground.

can't be serious? sellar is lucky to be in the glenelg league side... does not do anywhere near enough around the ground. slow and no footy smarts. admittedly, he is improving every week, but he had to - to keep his league spot. I can't believe the crows have kept him for so long. waste
