Where and when: 1:10 pm Today at Adelaide Oval
What it means for the Crows: Win and they are 4-1. Wow. Being t 4-1 isn’t something anyone expected! This is another match that a finals ound team really should win, but the Dockers feel that way too. A loss puts them at 3-2 which is far from the end of the world, but a 4-1 start, especially given their pre-season expectations, would be something. 3-2 is probably around the in-out line of the finals.
What it means for the Dockers: A win puts them just inside the 8, or just outside it, depending on the other matches today. Pulls the Crows down too. A loss has them at 2-3, and feels like the start of a slide down the ladder.
Supercoach Watch:
Dockers: Fyfe, Treacy, Chapman, Ryan, and Brayshaw
Crows: Rowe, Laird, Berry, Butts
Father Dougal’s Watch: Tex Walker again, who else? I mean. I mean. I mean….Tex Walker, WTF? Yes I said that last week, but it is still accurate.
Father Dougal’s Tip: Home team for me in this one. Crows by 10

FINAL TEAMS | No late changes for either side.
Nick Murray (ADE) and Mitch Crowden (FRE) the subs.
Thanks lots for all these!
Already copped a donut in the ruck and was pretty happy Kosi got named but now with J. Clark out, it looks like I may cop it regardless. I haven’t used any trades this round but will need to deal with Ridley’s injury next week (already down to 24).
T/U: Clark -> Chapman
T/D: Brockman -> Chapman (moving Clark to mid bench via DPP).
Comment: Neither is worth trading out, just cop the second donut and watch as another promising SC year is cut short by the cruel winds of fate and coaches making seemingly arbitrary and random decisions on their team-sheets.
Anyone have some insight on whether Clark (or Brockman) end up as medical sub? I’ve got Macrae VC’d but don’t want to risk a medical sub score for my captain.
Thanks in advance everyone.
Cop the 2nd donut and the fate thing.
What’s the chance Clarke is the sub?
Cousins and Brockman not playing for VFL Box Hill Hawks.
One will likely be the medical sub.
Geelong VFL team is playing at 1 PM so we should shortly get an indication if Clarke is the likely sub if he doesnt line up.
Thanks CT your a legend
Clarke and Narkle are not playing VFL, so sub question not answered as either could be. Also there could be a late out?
Sorry about delay as team not notified before game and I had to watch to see who was playing.
Zach Guthrie and Josh Jenkins are playing
It’s too late now but I think the move was Clark to Jones.
What about Treacy? Is he in your plans next week? Can you somehow go Clark to Treacy?
Yeah, I was looking at Jones but with all the other question marks, I couldn’t really make the move yesterday (I’m not in Aus, so time change makes last-minute changes near impossible – I miss when they’d just announce teams and everyone got locked out at the start of the weekend).
Can’t get Treacy in this week – both Flynn and Fullarton locked in as zeroes. I had to do some juggling with my ruck set-up last week with Hunter and Flynn both missing (I traded Hunter out and put Fullarton at R3 – it seemed like a good idea at the time).
Just need the trio of rookies I’ve got here in Butts, Berry, Rowe and Chapman to score respectably. Cmon, fellas.
That’s four
Four is a trio now? 😉
I’d like Laird and Treacy to have good games too. Andrew Brayshaw is on fallen premium watch.
Meant to say Crows trio and Chapman, sorry lol.
‘Afternoon fellow SCTairians.
Please be advised I currently have Gawny as my Capt in SCT comp.
I will not be changing him, I will not be changing him, I will not be changing him…..
You have been advised/warned….
….as for SCTTL, …..I can still sense the laughter….
Is there a “Ken Bruce” (?) award for my decisions…….LOL
As simple as it sounds, Laird needs to look before he kicks. He just blasts off whenever he gets it. On literally 0% DE rn.
Cerra hobbled off and gone down in the rooms.
Can this round get any worse?
Ooof. Condolences, CT.
Was looking good as well. No word further word on him or sub activated, fingers crossed he comes back on.
UPDATE: Cerra back up from rooms but Crowden (ME) also warming up.
UPDATE 2.0: Cerra done with ankle, Crowden on.
Cerra oh no. 🙁
Might be the dreaded syndesmosis.
At least Brayshaw looks back on track.
I’m starting to get major FOMO with Chapman ( 25 at qtr time)
Go Freo. !
Will have to wait for scans to see how long he is out for?
Yep.
Scans Monday , may get news by Tues / Wed.
Sorry if you own him CT.
( Was he your Rowell replacement ? )
I went Heeney and that went south as well.
Lets hope he won’t miss to long.
Thanks Freo Tragic,
Actually I traded Dangerfield for him and was more than pleased with his scores.
Trying to conserve trades this year is hardly working .
It is going to be a long year.
I know I’m down to 23 already.
I will use another one next week. ( Upgrade Clark )
I will then only have 6 rookies on field unless injury strikes again .
Best of luck for the rest of the weekend.
Best of luck to you too.
I can’t stop smiling 🙂 😉
We’re in the eight !!
Cerra officially subbed out
1/4 Time – scores are 2.1.13 to both Dockers & Crows.

so many injuries – are walker and laird now injured? i’ve lost track
I hear ya Red5 BUT you are aware your post is also not about the Crows vs Freo game. Just saying.
I see Red5 changed their comment … oh well.
yeah i did – i didn’t want to come over all mumsy – but it was annoying
i came to the game thread to find out about laird – i heard he was injured
i changed my comment – yes – i regretted it when i posted it – i didn’t want to sound like someone’s grandma scolding them for taking too many sweeties out of the jar – but to come to a game thread and think it was a trade thread instead – maybe i’m getting too old and grumpy – that’s why i changed it – didn’t want to be “that person”
Hahahaha…… all good!!!
3/4 Time and the Dockers in front by a point – couple of lead changes that qtr. Injuries galore, Tex slowed right down with his calf strapped at half time, Laird, Taberner, and Darcy all copped knocks.
