Preview Changes: R16 vs Brisbane Bullets

[ams4crows]

Maybe the "Peddler" could be the "Dealer" or "Trafficker"....don't mind the latter if he's good in traffic!

I believe his nickname at the club is "Pez"

Going into lockdown, and then Grant Stevens vetoed it.

Police commissioner ‘stops’ SA lockdown amid zero community transmission: Kenny

Sky News host Chris Kenny says according to his sources, the South Australian premier and health officer "were pretty keen" to lock down if it wasn't for the police commissioner Grant Stevens exercising state of emergency powers – stopping the move. "My sources in South Australia ... I am told...

How does that even work?

He gets special powers in the event of a state emergency and then vetoes their recommendations because he thinks there's no emergency?

Circular bureaucracy at it's best.

Bad habit of throwing his head back in a tackle?

 

[hey shorty]

Now thats a load of rubbish.

Keays is a really good player.

It's Brett, of course it's rubbish

no he's not.

Yeah, he is.
I'm hard on Keays because he can't kick with his right foot, but everything else he does screams FOOTY PLAYER!
100% effort every week, smooth mover, ball magnet, great evasive skills, never gives up and would be in our Top 5 or 6 players this year.

Isn't Chris Kenny that idiot reporter from the press conference? Not sure how much weight I'd put on his 'sources'

Interestingly his brother was my primary school footy coach, and played Woodville reserves, Peter Kenny. His brother ended up a hard right journalist in Canberra.

Pedlar's selection:

However, expect him to run out of steam if his TOG is more than 70%.

Frampton: no. I'm with Scorpus. Frampton is good SANFL player, not an AFL player's sprig. I'll be (very) happy to be proved wrong, but he will drop marks, miss easy kicks for goal (if he has any) and spud it up in general. My best guess is that it's more about waking Fogarty up than anything else. Hope it works!
Murray? Not sure. It was him or Worrell, wasn't it?
For the future of the team I'd have retained Hamill, dropped Mackay, but who knows what the Selectors know and see?

he misses so many shots on goal.

7 out of 13, meh.
So far, 6.7, hardly horrible + if we're relying on Keays to kick our goals with Tex/Thilthorpe/Fogarty in the side, we're in big trouble.
Also averages 6 tackles/game, probably the Crows' hardest worker with Laird.

thats the problem. keays and laird are our midfield. we have the worst midfield in the league by far.

1) Came into this thread to see some excitement for Luke Pedlar, and
2) all I seem to see if everyone whinging about Big Billy. FFS, this is what most people have been calling for, to play the kids!
3) Fog has been ordinary, Billy has actually deserved another opportunity as has been best performing big man in SANFL.
4) McAdam has been poo. Needed to be dropped.

1) Plenty of love/excitement for Pedlar in here; majority of posts.
2) I'm one of them. Frampton has proved conclusivley he is one of those players who is good at AFL level and crap at AFL. It's a mystery, but it's true. He ain't no "kid" any more either; he's 24 and this is his 7th Season!
3) Agree; Fog has been poor. "Best performing big man" (Frampton) in a very mediocre SANFL side is no recommendation. Is he a force, driving them into the Top 5? No.
4) Ditto, McAdam, who needs an attitude transplant --- imagine if the Fog and McAdam had Keays' enthusiasm and 100% never-stop effort!

Nah, mate, and you're making even less sense. If you're going to make outrageous claims, at least provide some evidence to back them up? Laird is our current AFLCA Votes' leader (12th in the Comp).
I've conceded Keays has no R kick, which is a flaw that totally baffles me, because it's fixable. If I was picking the side, Keays and Laird would be among the first selected, in fact not even under discussion. Not just best-22 but Top 10.
We're gonna have to agree to disagree on this.

 

[CrowBloke]

Frampton will kick 6 this week now.

Just to spite me and Scorpus ?

I'd be happy-as, if he did.

I'd assume we'd do like we did with O'Connor. Had 56% and 57% ToG in his two games.

it’s got to be better than say, “Pedo”

thats the problem. keays and laird are our midfield. we have the worst midfield in the league by far.

IDK, worst is a tad harsh, I’d go with unskilled

workrate is fantastic, but as most if not all of this board recognizes, give me some kids with the skills to pay the bills

 

[Deaneus!]

i really like this team for this match

and I would love to see Parnell the work experience kid given a sneaky match too, just quietly

 

[FR0GGY]

When are we going to get ****ing serious about the REBUILD?

Only 9 debutants in 16 games. What about playing the ****ing KIDS!

That’s not the test though is it.
In a rebuild you have no choice but to play debutants, it’s what you do at the other end that is the test.

i love how a few people here run with this “sure, keays hasnt got a right leg” as if to insinuate he’s got a great left leg...

in reality his left leg is terrible as well.. there is nothing outrageous in pointing out that Keays is a poor deliverer of the football.

its a real pity because he’s really bloody good at nearly everything else... but I suspect that if his kicking game was as good as the rest of his game.. Brisbane would never have delisted him.

 

[thebirdman 24]

Keays to me is a slightly better version of Brad Symes.

He will be fine for a few years rebuilding and if he can tidy up his disposal he will still have a spot after the rebuild.

Is this sarcasm? It's hard to tell on this board sometimes.

To be fair, Keays is a pretty terrible kick with his left as well. We're talking Lachie Murphy areas.

I just hope we put a tag on Leroy Loggins. Don't want him getting away from us.
