Changes v Crows

I'd be betting against Tigga playing this week, especially with it being an interstate game.

I'd give him one more off no point rushing him in this week.

Give Miller and Gibbuss another game.

Caesar will be on Tigga watch this week

I would expect Kane to do some more increased game time in the VFL to measure his recovery, and post game soreness.

Edwards has to be dropped based on form. Is not offering anything at the moment, has become a liability.
Id hate to say it, but far out talk about the cliff coming fast… shedda has been shocking…. I get it we need to nurse him to 300 , but he has been rubbish

You cannot get sentimental when one of yesterdays pencil ins form is fading & thats is Titch with Cotch not far behind. The writing is on the wall for all to see so how will or when Damian pull the trigger. Crows this week then the blockbuster against the Dees & you can not go in against them on an aging sentimental favourite. We all await with abated breath.

Edwards ? Not sure. However Cotchin will never be dropped, await as long as you like

Out: Cotchin (rested)
In: Sonsie.

I don’t think it will happen, but I think it’s a good plan.

I would give Cotch a rest every 4 to 6
Games. Let him stay home and miss some of the interstate clashes.

100 % agree that we need to manage Cotch - knock on wood. 1 full month - no issues. No disrespect to the crows, they will be hard to beat over there. BIG risk to throw both Nick and Lambert back into the seniors. Both I would have playing minutes in the VFL, lambert 3/4 of a game, Vloss a full game - they both pull up well and then they play Anzac Eve.

I wouldn't rush Vlastuin back. He has shown in the past that he needs game time to regain his touch over a few weeks. He has missed a fair bit of footy now. Can do this through managed time in the VFL. I'd also give Lambert a full game in the VFL before rushing him back. He could be medical sub, but he needs game time more than anything.

We're in a fortunate position not to have to rush players back.

Vlastuin was in superb nick in the pre-season. If he's right to go he's in.

Its decisions like bringing Vloss straight back in after a significant injury that undoes us at times. Nothing wrong with a light run in the ressies to get back into the groove especially when there is adequate cover atm
 
Agree, especially when we have just come off a good win and there is no need make changes to the winning team.
No changes except give Ross a full game in reserves and make someone else the sub - who I'm not sure?
 
Floss is as much chance of getting injured playing two's as one's.

If he's not fit don't play him at all. If he is will come straight back in.

You don't run group 1 horses on country tracks.

just read that too,,, its a very unusual hamstring - was sore kicking but fine running. Hopefully that means he has been doing full running over the last month. Good conditioning base.
 
Repay the performance, no changes…. Very little to gain bringing big V back too soon.

Looking forward to the Rioli v Rachelle match up.
Think Rachelle might voluntarily hand back his rising star nomination after next Saturday’s game.

They have many, who the hell is he type players. The ones you would walk past and have no idea they play for the Crows. They are rebuilding nicely and its ALWAYS hard to win over there v the Crows. Just need to keep our year rolling - its been good bar 2 really poor quarters from the opening 4 games.
