Felt like he is The sub or outside 23 if everyone is fit based on team selections this year. Moved him on already and kept Pink and Reid.
Brought Crouch in already and starting to regret it. Watched him early and thought he looked amazing on the inside.
Yet his TOG and Cba have been weaker and when game was on the line, it was Dawson who got back on and they preferred Soligo to stay on over Crouch. Some pod casts are very negative on him and only 83m gained last week, handball backwards.
Adelaide issues look to be forwards yet they are losing and maybe crouch suffers. Not sure I share the view, would tighten the mids to laird dawnson soligo and crouch but not my strength to analyse these things.

I started Crouch with the express purpose of flicking him at his bye, it looks like he's reverted to his old ways as opposed to what he did late last year ie: forward handballing and using his legs to power out of stoppages. He intimated as much in an interview this week where he said he needs to get the ball going forward more and I'm hoping that it eventuates, otherwise he's going to be dropped.

Sexton won't play again - that was his last chance in a new role but Mac Andrew has taken that spot with Flanders doing the run off H/B thing. That sealed his fate. Personally Will Graham is my pick (and also a huge favorite of Dimma's) BUT most will go with Clohesy based on that first game. Me I'm waiting for this round to settle and based on performance probably grab both.
The parts of the game I saw, Comben looked really good. Flying for marks with confidence and just seemed to have mojo. I'm going to wait a week though as he did play on Daniher who kicked 5 so they might ask him to taper those instincts a little and mind his man.. but if he puts up another game where he is taking intercept marks and has the licence to fly.. then I think he's a great selection.
Full disclosure I don't own him, but I would hold LDU. Something isn't right at the moment but if things turn, he has shown the ability to score at keeper level. He has already lost so much cash too so no point locking in the loss.. he probably doesn't drop much further so if he is still an issue at his bye maybe pull the trigger but at this point of the season I would focus on upgrading around him and not sideways trading, otherwise you fall a premium behind the competition and it's hard to get ahead of that.
