These interstate games are that we really should and need to win.

With the Bullants having the bye on the weekend it will be interesting to see if we make any changes providing no one is forced out by injury.

Only one change for me....

Out - Yarran
In - Houla

north vs freo is been shown on ch10 in melbourne instead of this game..... what a joke.

Yeah, me thinks the only out this week will be

Out:- Yarren
In:- Houla

Wiggens would of / should of been dropped anyway. Can't see Cloke coming back in for a while.

..agreed, i'd switch hoops for yarran.. ..in my opinion it's spot on like for like, and i bloody well hope Hoops is played as a bonafide forward..

Had me worried there for a minute, but the game is being shown live into Canberra (and probably Melbourne) on Foxtel.

I put Yarran into my Dreamteam last week out of desperation, and i agree

Out: Yarran
In: Houlihan

I just checked out the AFL's schedule and it's only the R20 game that gets no live coverage. Gee we play a lot of Friday games later this year.

The Crows are under the pump over here ATM. They will be fired up for a good showing this weekend. They haven't won at home this year either yet.

The Blues MUST, MUST, start quickly. Silence the morons, send the huge Blue Baggers crowd into a frenzy, and smash 'em.

We need to be up by a couple of goals at quarter time, about 30 points at half time, smash 'em in the third to be up by about 60 points and then roll on to win by around 80.....

People are calling for Craig's head over here too. Lets dish it up on a platter !!

There will be no Bock, Rutten is playing crap, chuck JR onto McLeod, Armfield onto Porps, Joseph to go with Dangerfield, Waite up forward, Jamo on Tippett, Bower on Walker. Gibbs in the middle. He enjoys playing at "home" and loves giving the Crows morons something to cheer about. The serial pest in Shirley won't play as he'll be suspended from the SANFL, so Juddy will have a field day. Goodwin, Edwards both down on form. Negate those pricks too.

Carn you Baggers !!

I'd go no change unless Grigg is fit.

I'd be giving Yarran another 1 or 2 weeks so he has had a decent taste. I'd also look to replace him with Garlett if he was to be dropped, not Houlihan at this stage.

I'd like Grigg for Yarran, but it leaves me wondering if we'll be too tall/slow up front, especially if Wiggins comes back in for Browne.

I'd give Yarran another couple of weeks, he'll be learning plenty about the pace of AFL footy.

We really need to win these games if we're to develop into a premiership contender. The Crows are nothing special and good teams roll the ho-hum teams no matter where the game's played.

Not sure that we are a good side just yet Wojee.

Saturday should be a good test for us.

Yeah, kinda what I'm getting at, we need to start winning these games regularly.

This is a game we need to win if we are serious about improvement. Everyone this week have been making excuses for Collingwood, but if we win against the Crows, the nay sayers will have to re-address thier ever changing views.

Blues by 18 to 24pts

Crows have finished games off terribly of late...i expect game to be close till halftime, then we should be able to overrun them easily in the second half.

Not so confident ... just live in hope.

..the thing is, while the team carries Yarran to aid in his development, we run the risk of not having the strongest team we can field.. ..we're not good enough that we can play kids for their development and keep our eyes focused on finals action.. ..the years too even, and we've lost games we should have won,, for us to be thinking we can rolls teams and carry 'passengers'.. ..plus, it's a roadtrip..

..we've already got a bunch of kids playing, how many kids do we want in the team..?..
