Changes V Crows

On a serious note, I think Jack R mentioned he has eyesight issues. I assume he wears contact lenses. If not, imagine how good he will be if he does...

BT mentioned that during the game...At the scrimmage match on Sat he was wearing glasses.
 
Yeah he mentioned that Essendon player Geoff Blethyn as the last person that wore glasses during a game. Back in the early 70's.
And he was wrong lol, Tony Southcombe played a season with Carlton in 77 and wore glasses...in the ruck no less. Blethyn played a return season and his last for Essendon in 76.

BT only banged on about it for 3 or 4 mins. Unlike him to get sidetracked mid game.

haha true every time BT bangs on about something and stretches it out, I'm like yeah ok get back to commentating the game.

The Good Ol high risk high reward game... do we get in front, hold and rest players? Smash out a full game, tinker with roles and risk a loss, have to fight every minute with perhaps a modicum of Adelaide pride being shown, does Adelaide go the full Sherman for the #1 pick .... will be a kooky one

No need to rest players this weekend as there is the pre finals bye.

I would see the rest only if players have accumulated fatigue like some players have - don‘t want any hamstrings at this stage.

No resting players and no risks. Play the Richmond way, if we get out to a big lead then sure I can see the foot coming off the peddle somewhat.
Adelaide likely to come out hard but I do think they will not throw away the No 1 pick in the ND, PSD, and Rookie Draft.
They have had 3 wins level with North, showed their fans they are on the right track. Losing the last game won't make them think otherwise.

Tough as nails. Can't believe that wasn't a free to cotch. Anyway, think he'll play cant afford to take this game lightly.
No way we take this game lightly.
Crows will throw everything at us and is at AO with their fans’.

They will bring in a few experienced players and they have some good kids forward who we should pay respect too. That Himelberg and Sholl are good young kids. Probably spelt their names wrong.
Plus the returning Texan and Talia.

Full strength side unless any real niggles.

Showers are forecast for Adelaide on Saturday. I don't think it will alter any team changes for us too much, but it throws a different variable into the mix.

My sentiments also, clubs these days know exactly what needs doing towards the end of the year.
The ladder cant see any changing of positions, only GC will win from that lot, Freo 50/50 V Dogs but more likely dogs win.

#lolnorf playing Wet Coke Thurs night. Crowbaits will know beforehand exactly how much they need to lose by to retain the first draft picks. Players might want to try and finish the season on a four game winning streak, but might be hamstrung by match committee interference. Might be an early release for surgery or two or some coaches trialing players in unusual positions.

So the Crows have their demons and blues sweating on this!
