Crows vs Freo

[NFC]

LOL more predictable changes. Weak Craigy.

Has the guy ever taken a risk in his life?

[Zorro]

Wost case scenario for Adelaid has occurred. Connolly has quit and we all know what happens when teams appoint a new coach, albeit a care taker. My prediction is a freo win by 2-3 goals

Sometimes yes .. sometimes No

Craigy's first game as coach was a loss ... ditto Mike Riley's

Didn't the Crows flog Melbourne in Craigy's first game in charge? Or was that a few games in?

Hondo 71

Melb beat Carlton in Riley's first game as coach

History say's this is a danger game, if Freo have any fight or character they shouldn't leave anything out on the park

However, if the crows are a worthy of playing finals they should put freo away

Freo have lost Aaron Sandilands (injured), Ryan Murphy (suspended), Farmer is also injured and schammer who always plays well against Adelaide has been dropped

Even with the loss of Roo and Rutten, I expect a very committed crows and a good win

I was confusing it with Daniher's last game

As for the Crows first game under Craigy I might have to stand corrected my recollection is it was a loss

Who are other recent care-takers:

Ben Allan
Hutchison
?

I like the inclusion of mattner.
Watch him dominate.

Not that I really care, but I think craig's first game was a belting of the doggies.

I checked and, yes, it was a win for Craigy 22.13 (145) to 10.13 (73) to upset second-placed Melbourne

Add Mark Harvey today now so it's even more

Say goodbye to 2007 and look forward to 2008 boys...start by sacking Neil Craig.

The problem is, who do you get that is any better?

One name that comes to mind is Leigh Matthews.......

I'm not sure changing the coach would make much difference, the club culture appears to be one of playing the "stars" the punters will come to watch regardless of whether they are actually fit. That has been there since the beginning, which is why the confrontation under Blight had to come, and why Ben Hart was kept on a season too long.

[Blue Boy]

The coach seems stuck in his ways big time !!!

Play the kids Mummbles !!!

[NFC]

In: Meesen, Pfeiffer, Hinge, Campbell
Out: McGregor, Doughty, Shirley, Perrie

[saintal]

Doughty, Van Berlo and Torney should be dropped

[Dutchy]

Van Berlo was embarresing yesterday, at one stage he rec'd a handbal outside of the pack on his own and proceeded to handbal it back to a bloke in the pack witha Freo guy right next to him!!!....over ******* possesion style they play gives you the shits!!!

as For Shirley....why is he holding a young player out of that side????...does not hurt opposition one bit with his play, just clogs up a midfield position that could go to a yougster like DOuglas, Hinge, Mattner

[overloaded]

We were pathetic against WC, good against a non interested Hawthorn and pathetic last week against St Kilda.

We do not have a hope against Freo this week and will get flogged (sides who lose their coach always come out the next week and win) Even if we make the finals we are nowhere near a serious premiership contender. Power have more chance than we do at this stage.

Once again we have promised the world and underachieved.

Say goodbye to 2007 and look forward to 2008 boys...start by sacking Neil Craig.

Hate to say it but I told you so.

We were, once again, pathetic. Get rid of the coach FFS...Think I will now go to the Qantas website and book a holiday for the week following the showdown.

Rob Shirley would have to be one of most ordinary players in last 10 years to get a regular AFL game. He's not even a particularly good tagger.
Doughty isn't that far behind him. Although it will be rob Norwood of one of their best players, it's time to give someone like Bryce Campbell a go.

Van Berlo can be part of the trade to get Pavlich

[redwhiteandblueblooded]

What has Griffen done wrong. Ok he needed a week off but putting him in the goal square and at least giving the midfielders some sort of target must be wotrh a try. Last week for Centrals he was quite impressive (against limited opposition) but still cant get in ahead of Perrie. I agree with other posters, this year is shot, bring in the kids.

[redden whites]

Who was the guy who had the brain freeze and ran straight at Des Headland from 10m away as if he were invisible and got wrapped up like a Flake And Minimum Chips...that was one of the funniest things I have seen in years

Douglas. Not up to it yet IMO.

NFC to coach Adelaide in 2008.
Not a genius, just the exponent common sense.
Brilliant selections.
