How often is McVeigh named on the bench?
-
The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face. -
He was named on the bench last week, however prior to that I can't recall him not being named on the ground.
Crouch's selection is obviously a horses for courses selection. Whether we like it or not he has a very good record against Aker and it could even be viewed as something of a test.
If he struggles against a player against whom he usually dominates then serious questions will be asked.
He does have one thing in his favour - he has that rare ability to get Aker to lose his focus for the ball and be more concerned with getting rid of that nagging idiot. As a Swan's supporter, that's a good thing.
It might be just what he needs to kickstart his season.And the man who started it all, the Schneiderman . . . . .Comment

According to this morning's Herald, the decision on Crouch won't be made till after this afternoon's training session. Nevertheless, you get the feeling it's almost a fait accompli.Comment

I wonder if we would be the only team in the competition making a selection particularly to focus on Aker?Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

On Fox news Crouch in for DempsterComment

Mase, I heard this on SEN on my way home. Frankly I am offended at this selection. How on earth can any sane person have Bevan in front of Dempster, unless there is a selection something we dont know.
You mentioned height, but the one thing the Bullies are is quick. So they go for a very slow unskilled labourious footballer in Bevan before Dempster who has pace, knows how to take a handball receive because he gets in the right position, rarely gets pinged for HTB, can KICK the bleedin' pill, hits targets from a long range and above all improves the structure of the backline.
So we bring in 1 who was dropped for his abject laziness and retain another slow thinking little squirt. Last week's backline was almost the perfect combo we could have. Bevan got a few touches, but how anyone could possibly say he played better than, and was of greater value to the team than Dempster who was coming back from a knee injury, is beyond my comprehension.
All is forgiven because Crouch gets a bit of the footy against a team that would struggle in the Suburban Eastern Football League Division 1 or 2 in Melbourne. Just outrageous and if this is what having the co-captains in on selection meetings produces then I say leave them in the corridor.
Wouldn't blame Dempster for punching a few holes in the walls at home.Comment

This is an embarrasing outcome of the in group picking the team.He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

I had to even get clarification because i can't believe the selection here.

With "Lady" McMahon and Griffo out and Mal and Tadhg playing so well, it's not too bad, losing Dempster. Bevan and Dempster were, imo, equal last week; I think Roos wants to be sure he can shut down the Bullies playmakers, expecting to win up forward and down back. Similar to the game we played agianst Port.I was wrong about Gerard and his hair.

Why is the playing group continuously picking Paul Bevan? Are they in love with him?
Dempster is a better all round footballer IMO.Comment

Doggies must be licking their lips
A team with McVeigh, Bevan, and an out of form Crouch...........OUCH
