Hope Ratts is watching.

Well, seems a good time to meet the Crows.

This also applies to today's game though...

we will play them in to form after they are bashed in the media all week

very insightful mikkey

traditionally we have struggled against them

they will be slaughtered this week and looking for redemption

its not unreasonable to think they will challenge us and could well trump us

cant sit back and think we will smash them cos they have had a couple of ordinary results

I hate Essendon*.

I hate Collingwood.

I hate Adelaide.

Yep my third most detested side are those cauliflower. I hope we smash 'em. Insipid Fruit Tingle flowers.

@#$%&! hate 'em.

Fire the @#$%&! up Blue Boys. Season on the line. Adelaide, Sydney, Saints. Need to win 2 of those.....

I'm sure they'll see us as their bunnies this week.

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

I've cooled on Henderson being dropped, but Hampson we need to do something about. Do we have a Trent Hotton on our list?

Hendo has to play. The Crows won't have Davis, which will leave Rutten for Hendo. I'd go for that.

Seriously, this forum has had some crap posted on it today, but geez if we drop a game like this one next week, then it'll melt down....

Well Betts HAS to go. Ratts challenged him publically and he didn't respond. So if the coach lives up to his word, he's a cert to miss. Collins is also a gimme.

I can't see them dropping Hendo. He needs another run.

So,

OUT: Betts, Collins

IN: Armfield, Lucas

White could be very unlucky if Bower comes through this weekend. For the first time in a while I think he merited the selection this week.

I guess the Blues will just be taking it easy after the players and the coaches let it slip.

We only have to drop or trade Gibbs because he's surplus to our needs.

I read on here last week that we have plenty of footballers in the VFL who can use it as well as Gibbs.

I'm going to wait and see what the VFL reports are like tomorrow before I start swinging my axe but the names on the outer are quite obvious:

Carrazzo, Betts, Collins, one of Laidler & White (I'm thinking White despite doing an ok job) and possibly Henderson.

If Watson, Bower, Thornton & Setanta do nothing to impress, you can expect the latter three names to remain in the side.

I think it's worth waiting on Bullant form.

atm I would drop Betts and Collins for Army and Lucas/Ellard

Other ideas like Bower/Thornton/o'hAilpin bit early to call.

Expect Hendersen will get another run.

I hear you sjabc. Big week for us SA boys this week. Living here is hell during footy season. While the rest of you bash yourselves over Sheehan, Robinson, Caro, Dwayne etc, we have the likes of this sprawled on our back pages every day.

Makes the above look like pulitzer winners.

And if you hate Ratts' pressers, I couldn't imagine what this place would be like if he did a Neil Craig tonight and stated that they were "bulldozed by a pretty powerful side tonight"!

They'll be fired up, but tonight they missed Porplyzia, Davis, Sloane, Doughty, McKay, Tambling, Stevens and Jacobs. Added to no Bock, Goodwin, Mcleod, Edwards and Burton meant there were some very average footballers out there tonight.

No excuses.

No it doesn't...Ratts hasn't a clue against the scum....but the crows are depleted out of form and useless so a C grader should be able to get the job done....
