Game Day Crows v Tigers - stacked v stackless

[Scorpus]

Balta looking a good matchup for Billy, below average for nearly all stats

View attachment 1374603

2 goals a game is below average these days? Bit harsh I reckon

 

[GreyCrow]

Jason Castagna has a good feeling about today.

I wouldn't call Shai Bolton 2nd rate but he's the guy that'll kick 4+

Parker is the nobody that'll score more than expected

Seems a high pass mark
I'm sure he will be above average this week

 

[Go the Guts]

Yeah, I fear same.
I watched Richmond harass and outrun the Dogs last week, winning easily albeit with 24 scoring shots to 26. They'll be too fast and rough for the Crows.

I'll be most looking forward to Sloane at HF with much-reduced mid time (doubtful).
Hope Berry and Cook do well.

Prediction:
Frampton vs Lynch or Riewoldt will be "interesting", to say the least . Either one might be the cause of the end of Billy's AFL experiment for 2022.
McAdam will try again and again --- for MoTY, and
Richmond by 6+ goals.

I hope I'm wrong, well, except about Frampton.

Frampton to get torched by Lynch, Doedee will take care of Riewoldt.
Frampton dropped never to return........hopefully.

And we lost one of those games, kicked one after the siren against a pretty awful opponent.

And this isn’t the Richmond of 2017-2020 either.

 

[Mutineer]

 

[kirky]

Heading to my first live game since moving back from living interstate for almost a decade.

Gonna be optimistic.
Crows by 31,
Tex to kick 5, Rachele another 3,
Dawson BOG,
Sloane to attend less then 10 Center bounces.
Berry to cement a spot

Let's do this!

Tex 5 and Rachele 3 - will put that in my multi.

 

[Betts are off]

You've got a ripper day for it, enjoy

Thanks mate, I'm pretty bloody excited.

If we're dropping midfielders for defensive pressure, how the **** does Crouch keep getting a game?

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Think this is winnable given its at home, we'll probably know within the first 2 minutes if we're switched on. Grimes out is a big + for us.

We can get on top in the midfield and have some ok match ups up forward. We've been getting killed in the air so am worried about Balta/Riewoldt/Lynch.

 

[pjcrows]

"Defensive pressure".

Yeah. Sure.

 

[Bearded Clam]

If we're dropping midfielders for defensive pressure, how the fu** does Crouch keep getting a game?

“Experience”

 

[maxlilly]

I thought it was because Harry kept fumbling and missing targets
But if Rowe gets dropped after kicking two goals, maybe defensive pressure is all we care about

 

[Southerntakeover]

We're keeping the Sloane, Laird, Crouch midfield because of defensive pressure. ****ing lol.

 

[CrowinNT]

Frampton v Riewoldt makes me nauseous

I can actually stomach this a little
McAsey’s inclusion would send me to ER
What an abysmal performance yesterday

I think he is a bust.

You're an unashamed Frampton fan, must be hard work

 

[footy4ever]

Reckon Hardwick will use someone to hold Dawson down illegally in packs, give Dawson a clip around the ear or crash into him after he's marked. flatten him after a disposal etc.
Rachele and others, too.

It's the Richmond way.

I wish we did that underhanded stuff.

Today I give Billy free reign regardless of the consequences.

 

[CrowBloke]

I think he is a bust.

He looked utterly miserable when he was drafted and has come along (not) accordingly.
I wonder if the blokes who selected him in 2019 even asked him if he wanted to play for the Crows.

 

[ABAB]

If we're dropping midfielders for defensive pressure, how the fu** does Crouch keep getting a game?

M.Crouch is actually a very good tackler when he get to his opponent......

 

[footy4ever]

4 goal to 1 opening term in favour of Richmond, we'll play catch up all day, every time we kick two in a row they'll respond with a quick one then we'll dominate the next 5 minutes without scoring and they add another 2 Joe the goose's due to a really poor turn over in the middle.

sounds quintessential Crows.

 

[jackster83]

M.Crouch is actually a very good tackler when he get to his opponent......

The quarter time huddle doesn't count.

 

[Scorpus]

M.Crouch is actually a very good tackler when he get to his opponent......

The issue is he has a tackle radius of about 10cm. Anything beyond that he can't get to

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Hoping we're on from the start in terms of intensity

Watching the Bulldogs and Sydney steamroll the Roos and Eagles yesterday they were sharp from the first bounce, attacked the ball, quick to tackle. Just dictated terms before their opponents found their feet at all. Almost like a boxer delivering a knockout punch in the first minute.

 

[FR0GGY]

We're keeping the Sloane, Laird, Crouch midfield because of defensive pressure. ******* lol.

What, they put the defence under pressure.


Oh defensive pressure..
