[magnifisaint]

In and out

[saynta]

lyin won't play Crouch . Effing typical.

[meher baba]

Much stronger team, though. Collard and Sharman out is like having two extra players.

We tanked vs Melb to drop below Hawks so we could draft Max Hall.
I think Brad plays as no tanking now

No.

[cwrcyn]

Lyon wants to play Crouch ( see his press conference). He just wants to make sure he can comfortably run out a game.

What this year has shown is we're a better team when Crouch is playing.

[Stian]

Is this the 12th time in a row that Tom Campbell has been named as an emergency (and still hasn't played)?

[magnifisaint]

Interesting re Crouch.

[saintbob]

Campbell will come in, as I reckon we’ll leave Roma home and give him a well deserved rest.
I would’ve much preferred Heath to come in and have a crack

He's always the emergency in case Marshall can't play, which I'm sure we all know.

[Stian]

Yes, but shirley that's still some sort of a record ??

[shrodes]

Anyone got mail on Stocker’s injury?

[avid]

Great looking team!

Only Crouch, Stocker, maybe Hayes missing from best 23.
If we play to our strengths we should absolutely steamroll this 3rd bottom rung side.

Sharman out alone is like having two extra players...

Yeah, looks that way. To be fair - I don’t think you can play Steele, Crouch and Dow in the same team.

Unpopular opinion - based on the shite body language and general sooking I saw on Sunday … I’d rather play Crouch than Steele.

[Vortex]

I’d rather play Crouch than Steele.

I've seen so many similar comments.

I'm still not happy with what I witnessed from our Captain last Sunday.

I can only imagine its been tense between Coach and Captain this week.

If you weren’t at the ground on Sunday - it’s hard to put into words. There was a lot of pointing and arms out exasperated stuff. Just the sh-tiest body language ever .. let alone from your Captain. The high-lowlight being Steele not blocking or chasing Petracca and watching him walk thru the front of the centre sq stoppage to goal from 50 in the 3rd q.

Steele was walking to the bench shaking his head before the ball sailed through. Summed up where we’re at. Horrible.

It’s one of two things. Either Steele hates that his role has become that of a tagger again (not purely - but he can only get it once he’s broken even with a man) and/or he’s sick of running out knowing he’s leading a team that’s been set up to kick 7 goals a game (or 5 if playing a good team).

I can make a case that RtB puts Steele up for trade at season’s end. And I’m not sure Jack would be unhappy about it either.

Most likely Steele and his team mates have had a complete gut-full of Lyon's atrocious game plan. The boys just want to play footy.

[spert]

Should have dropped the entire midfield, they are dragging the team down, and mixed with Lyon's stagnation game, we will go nowhere in a hurry.

[ace]

No E gets to play but Crouch who has done even better the last 2 matches at Sandringham does not.
But they play different roles in the midfield.
