I just can't see the crows going with 3 ruckman, even if Biglands plays up forward, it stangles to much flexibility

Which would have been an excellent point if the Roo, Burton and McLeod were available.

i disagree, i think he will get rewarded by his coaches in the B&F, his value to this side cannot be measured by BF votes...

he makes a lot of players stand tall

who is your tip for melb b&f

I think in hindsight the Crows would be wishing they had have given Douglas some games earlier in the season (before he was injured) when he was getting 25 plus possessions each week for Glenelg. Him and Knights are the future of the Crow's midfield (given that they dont go back to Vic).

with Kenny and Hudson not playing this means either stevens or bock need to play forward, im not sure on this one, they have both played forward and back with mixed success, bock seems to lead with a bit more authority but i think i rather him down back......

players that need to step up, welsh, biglands, perrie, rutten and thompson, these guys can go another level....

doughty, mattner, rielley, van berlo, massie, torney and torney all need to have a very consistent month of footy

bode, edwards, stiffy, goodwin have had strong years but need continue to lead from the front

hopefully amongst douglas, knights and proplyzia, one or two of these boys might take their opportunity and launch a long successful year

Not being disrespectful but if Bock and Stevens are the options
for CHF and CHB the Crows will be severly incapacitated this week.
Adelaide just, Melbourne has a deplorable recent record at AAMI.

Bock can play reasonable (when in form) footy in defence, but hes certainly not up to standard as a forward.

I'm surprised (but happy) that the Crows haven't picked Hudson. Surely he won't play for them this year unless the Doc or Swayze get hit by injury. I'm pretty sure Craig rates Huddo so perhaps he's keeping him on ice until next year, although I fear the horse may have bolted by then.

Happy to have you in our side Huddo.

time for scott thompson to step up this week...I cringe everytime he gets the ball which is a lot. Only if he could hit a target....

MW, his skills were solid last year, this year he has fallen away

Knights is another player that concerns me, he just can't hit targets

Thompson, always fires against his old club
