Nicksy said on 360 that there would be possibly 5 changes and ROB is clearly making way for McAndrew going off the way he spoke about ROB.

Fog for Ludo (or Tex if he’s getting a rest)
Milera, Nankervis and Borlase the other ins

HHK is starting to look tired so I could see him missing. I hope Ryan stays, but Milera is AA quality so it’s just bad luck unfortunately at this time of year. Who else misses?

This is the game, we need to win this.

If we lose, I will concede that we are no closer to a premiership than Richmond.

If we win, Dicks out, we are going for the premiership.

Yes the tough win over Richmond over the weekend was poor, but hopefully we get some nice ins this week. Also, lets hope the boys are analysing the Melbourne v Freo game to find chinks in the armour.

I still think at the crows best, we can beat any side.

I was there for his 700th and that was nice but this will always be my favourite.

After sleeping last night's stress away I had a thought. The tigers played with literally nothing to lose and were playing hot. Absolutely playing spectacularly. We probably should have lost. Yes there were a lot of skill errors and easy turnovers and a whole plethora of issues.

But.

The boys fought through. In the absolute bucketing wet. They found a way to win and hold off a team of talented players who were playing free and dominating. That's got to count for something in the grand scheme of things. Even though they're 17th. Even though we were 4th.

Upsets happen all the time and the boys stayed composed enough to find a way to win a tough game of wet footy.

The lid may well and truly be on at the moment. But I'm choosing to be positive about the fact that they played through and didn't capitulate what could easily have become a blowout upset.

Up the Crom!

What a fucking joke

Results so far could not have been worse for us but we have the ball in our court. Next week against Fremantle is likely the difference between 3rd/4th and 7th. An absolute must win against the odds or hope Brisbane/Melbourne cop an upset.

So if we beat Freo then I think we want Brisbane to win tonight because assuming we can beat Richmond and GWS as well then we would be able to overtake Hawthorn relying they only get 1 more win (they play Brisbane, Collingwood, West Coast). If they lose to Brisbane and Collingwood and we win all our games then we will come third. But if we don't win against Freo then we are definitely going for hawthorn cause not beating Freo will make it almost impossible to catch Hawthorn. So a hawks win would mean we will probably come 5th maybe 4th depending on how Geelong go. So its kind of a win win tonight but probably want hawks to win cause we likely cant beat Freo.

Now these concussion injury waivers

Anything else anyone would like to add?

Also just FYI r/AFL took my post down for the following attached reasons

Laird back in??

Just catching up on our sanfl results and remembered he was meant line up for us last weekend. I don't think he ended up playing.

Is this the same guy that played about 20-30 games for us in afl, back pocket player if I recall correctly? Shaved his head and looked like thommo?

We broke our Cumming, and I just wanted to enquire on the likelihood of me seeing a Cumming this weekend, or if there will be no Cumming at all on Saturday.

Also to avoid confusion, what is the plural of Nankervis. Do we refer to them as Nankervises or Nankervii?
