Carrying Crouch

We must not let setiment decide the issue on Crouch - if he is fit he is in in my book...but is he fully fit? Can we trust the coaching staff / selectors to get it right?
I'm tempted to say yes...but Chambers???

we won the flag last year, so how about we trust the coaching staff just a tad bit longer to "get it right"..

I reckon Chambers should be given every chance too. Dud now, yes, but potential...? Dunno, but the coaching staff see something, just like they did in LRT (first half Norm Smith medalist )

I agree. Not sure if anyone else has the pace to go with Davey.

Not sure if anyone else but Crouchy has the powers of concentration and cunning to worry Davey off the ball and out of the game.

He's been a stalwart but never much value other than as a tagger, and there is no use carrying a lame tagger. I thought he looked slow when I saw him in Sydney v Port and Davey may tear him apart. Aker's about the only one of his regular victims that he will be able to match it with this season I think.

This is the player who the coaching panel decided was the 'Player of the Finals Series' in a premiership year - and deservedly so in my eyes.

If you think he has no value other than as a tagger, watch the first three quarters of the Geelong SF. He was pretty much the only effective midfielder for the bulk of the game- until the rest of them woke up in the final term.

He goes alright Liz, but I do think he is slowing down and I don't think he is 100% atm. It puzzles me a little that we are trying to develop great depth if we then play injured players, early in the season, in what should be a good atmosphere to bring in some youngsters. Crouch, if 100%, walks in to the side. At less than 80% it has to be touch and go.

Was back to his speedy best this week i thought! Kept up with aker who looked slow compared to crouch!

I wouldn't over play it! He did well against a pyschologically flawed opponent. Certainly didn't look injured tho - he'll keep getting a game, & deservedly so.

I suppose as long as you didn't vomit them up you should be OK

Probably either Krackour or Tambling.
