There's no point trying to degrade Rankine and Rachelle, they're gun kids. The crows issue is their midfield. They don't really have one.

Yen, put either of those 2 in our fwd line yesterday and they are kicking a bag

Words filtering through that Adelaide were 5 goals up and lost to a potential wooden spooner.

Is that correct?

Not quite, GWS got over a potential wooden spooner

Fat load of good spending all your cap and resources on small fwds... Especially with the worst midfield in the league.

It's too dull and workmanlike.

Watching the game at the MCG and it looks like the players are running through a swamp with how bad the ground is.

 

[Harlott]

Rankine is an elite talent and a good pickup for Adelaide who was damaging today … when Adelaide had the run of play…


He’s only ever going to be as good as Adelaide’s current momentum is. When they’re down he will be down.

Which is not unusual for a cream on the top player, but there’s no cake.

Still early days. Weren’t there a lot on here wanting him to fall to 5 in the draft?

What a great weekend, Port and whoever plays the crows won.

This Hawthorn Essendon game is pure distilled shit.

This Hawthorn Essendon game is pure distilled s**t.

0 forward 50 tackles is weak. You won't win many games of football with that.

They aren't that good and there is no point starting your rebuild with 2 small forwards.

A depleted potential wooden spooner

The posts talking up Soligo as if he’s in the same breathe as the elite young mids in the comp, ive even seen the word star used several times next to his name.

He was utterly useless today.

One ex crow in the media said that he will be better than Horne Francis and now they are all running with it. He looks ok, but another small average mid to add to their mix of them.

Sunday prime-time slot with the National coverage. It’s a great game.

They've always been world class self-mythologisers

Carn' they are both super talents they are just not midfielders.

It's free real estate

Who was that again? Forgot.

Looks good atm...

 

[Adz2332]

Rate both rankine and rachelle, but it's no good trying to make brilliant small forwards into mids is just dumb.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Would you guys take nicks back as a line coach? Id consider it. Experience in sydney and coaching in his own right. Could do much worse i reckon.

Its worse.

GWS lost Perryman in the first 5 mins of the game to a hamstring injury. So were forced to have their sub play basically the whole game.

Nick Hayes spent the second half struggling to walk with a bad hammy.
GWS lost Lachie Whitfield early in the third to concussion from a high hit by Sloane.
GWS were without Jacob Wehr for the last 10 minutes of the third and early in the 4th after a head high high from MacAdam.
GWS lost Josh Kelly early in the fourth after a bump from Sloane resulted in a head clash with O'Brien.

I think it was Richard Douglas.
