Selection is Beating the Crows

tbagrocks · August 26, 2015, 06:06:46 PM

Two other guys unmentioned, one whom the crows were thankful he landed in their lap the year Skurtly defected and e lost our draft picks, Rory Atkins.

Atkins and Riley Knight getting a run of games and the duo looks like they can seriously play! ;D

They've looked ok haven't they. Nice goal by Atkins on the weekend.

It's an interesting one, Kerridge hasn't played either since he injured in pre-season and CEY is stuck in the magoo's also as is Cheney.

Just building a depth strong list for a Premiership assault sooner rather than later ;)

The good news is the superstar backman the Lever comes right back in ;) might play the next 200 games for Adelaide 8)

Don't know how true this is, but I've heard that apparently the reason Grigg is stuck in the 2nds is because when he got injured during the bye, he told the club he hurt his ankle doing landscaping. They later found out he actually hurt it while at Bounce (Trampoline place), so basically he lied to the club and they weren't happy with him obviously. Now they're 'punishing' him by making him stay in the SANFL.

Don't quote me on this but it's just something I've heard.

Haha wow, that'd be pretty hilarious. It's a bit stupid by him, but also pretty harmless.

Did he not learn from Wellingham about the dangers of trampolines :P

Grazz · August 29, 2015, 01:40:46 AM

Trampolines are the Devils toys I tell ya.

Where do you guys see Matthew Wright? From memory he had a pretty good year a few years ago getting some time through the midfield but now he seems to be struggling very hard to firstly lock down a regular gig and then actually perform in this spot.

Seems to have spent the last month in the SANFL dominating.

Could he seek a trade? Or will the scrapping of the sub rule help him at all? The Crows seem to have a lot of similar type players in front of him I think...

Thoughts?

Haha negatory, Spite handles most of our transactions in BXV :p

Looking at him in another XV ;)

TomK · September 04, 2015, 05:05:46 PM

He looked so promising in 2012 but he has just fell off drastically. When he plays as a full time mid like he does in the SANFL, he can rack up some big numbers but no room for him in that role in AFL side and we just stuck him on a HFF.

Out of contract at the end of the year so we will likely try and trade him but doubt anyone would want him. So he could be on the delist pile.

tbagrocks · September 04, 2015, 06:05:48 PM

Wrighty's not that bad, what I hope from him is he either works hard again in pre-season and makes the forward flank or, he is there as a DEPTH player and can cover a few positions whilst biding time in the reserves!

Look out for the crows depth come 2016, as we build toward a flag :o

Jay · September 04, 2015, 06:17:26 PM

Wrighty is okay, but he should never play in front of Mitch Grigg. Ever.
