Re: My Boy Coops

Not just Sharman, but virtually all forwards missed very kickable set shots, including Higgins and Owens, who despite their flawed kicking techniques, are forwards who are paid to convert those types of opportunities. Had we kicked 9.5. 59 instead of 5.9. 39 we would stil have lost by 65 points. So ...

Billings subbed out tonight

Clutching at his chest, but fortunately he only has a torn pec.
No stress to his heart whatsoever, luckily.

Re: We've just stitched up pick 4

We might beat both sash teams for the rest of the season at best.
Can the Crows win two more games this season too?

Re: Brad Hill Contract Extension

Given his slow and steady improvement under Lyon, in 2027 he might actually become the player that we sold the farm for back in 2020!
Let us see how he matches up against Acres in the final round.
I guess Lyon won't expose him to that embarrassing comparison.

Re: Lance Collard

What has Lance done this week?
100+ replies already suggests that he kicked 5 goals for Sandy, but no that was Allison!
So did Lance hit someone off the ball?
He can't have vilified an opponent surely, because that is so much worse or is it?

Re: Sandy vs Williamstown

Did Allison do enough to earn a senior debut?
This is the second time he has kicked 5 goals for Sandy.
Could he replace Membrey?

Re: Team v Crows

Thank goodness, I wondered why Hill pulled out of contests and lacked spatial awareness.
It seems that his mind was on other things!
Absolute last chance for Jones, but I think his cards have been played already.

Delistings/Retirements

I think 2025 will see Ross Lyon finally make the necessary changes to our senior core. Most years see fringe players delisted rather than senior players who have passed their use-by-date. This year Jones, Crouch (injury), Ross, Hill, Hayes (injury), Cordy, Membrey and Campbell all under serious doub...

Re: Match Thread - Saints V Freo

Freo trailled by 10 points early in the 3rd and then kicked 4.12.36 to 1.3.9, so if they had kicked 12.4.76 we would and should have lost by 57 points!

Re: Best teams

I'm pretty sure that Jones, Ross, Hill and Campbell will not be offered contracts at the end of 2024. So the development of Dow, Windhager, Henry and Heath will all be vital next year. While Crouch, Steele, Hayes, Membrey, Webster and Wood will all be 30+ by the end of 2025. Making the longer-term d...

27 for Garcia if we've recruited him as a forward to play under the wing of Membrey.
Otherwise if we've recruited him to play as a defender he can have 34 to be schooled by Paton (defence) and Sinclair (offence).

Guernsey numbers next season

Given that Dow wore 2 at Carlton, number 1 would fit him nicely. Phillipou could move to number 4 between Jones and Crouch if he is being groomed for a future midfield role. 15 for Wilson, where Butler can take him under his wing. 23 for Henry, given that he wore that number at Fremantle. 24 for Col...
