Review Good/Bad vs St Kilda, R9 2023

[Jeffcrowe]

Better selection of a sub

Time to take sub seriously

Ned should be sub at least every second game

It’s time to start using sub as best chance to win games and he helps as sub

 

[CrowBloke]

Wouldn’t shift Milera after his best game

I've been very critical of Milera, last few weeks, but he was good today for sure.
I hope it's not a one-off and he sustains that moving forward.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it AFC979810

Lachie Murphy has been sensational this year

Only a bias fool would deny that now

Don’t reckon many would

 

[Southerntakeover]

You must hate days like today

Only that it seems to agitate our dumbest posters

What can ya say, not much too negative from that, good win.
Especially happy we belted one of the sides with the new experienced coaches. My mate has been going on about how Nicks was a mistake blah blah blah and when North Ess and Saints started the year well he was chortling away. I can't wait to catch up with him again now. Reckon I'll be even further in front by the end of the season.

I think I mentioned last week that I previously thought our middle of the year slumps were from depth and injuries, but now I reckon it might be because of how poor our gameplan is for slippery conditions. Today, if anything, seems like additional evidence in favour of the theory. If we have an El Nino, it'll be a help to our cause.

Yes Nicks and co seems to be doing a good job. With respect to El Nino, I suspect it has little influence with Adelaide, but will do so with any east coast games.

He turned quickly. He was amazed by the 14yo's mark of the year, and was actively barracking for Pedlar to kick the goal after his ball-gahering effort.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Only negative is that Sloane was a first half passenger again. Offsetting that was seeing Pedlar in the guts later in the game. Hopefully we see more of it.

What I liked about sloane was he didn’t do much when we were great early but as soon as we started to struggle he lifted and helped us get back on top

Another big tick on his season

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Pedlar should be getting bursts in the middle in every game. I really hope we can get him to a point where he's fit enough to play as a full time mid. I think that's the plan long term but it's been a slow burn due to injuries. Imagine Pedlar's talent combined with the fitness to gut run eg. Keays. That would be a fun player to watch.

It was always the plan

Ugly: Ross Lyon pressers when they lose.

Question: "You're a strong defensive side, how did it break down today?"

Lyon: rolls eyes "I'm not sure I understand the question..."

 

[CrowBloke]

he was very very very very good in last years SANFL finals.

Clearly, you're a big fan (I'm Looking Through You )

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Butts

Nah …. Starting to play well finally

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Bad losses to GWS and Richmond may haunt us at the end of the year.

Yep … we should have beaten GWS and pies but didn’t deserve it against Richmond as we had a stinker except for one quarter … those other 2 would have us talking re top 4 even though unlikely

 

[Crow till I die]

Hollands again did little yesterday in the VFL, your infatuation with Elijah needs to be tempered until he actually plays the footy befitting of your infatuation...and yes I did watch most of that game yesterday. There is a reason Elijah isn't playing AFL....form.

Bad environment for him..shpuld mean we get him cheaper then

Dermie has always had a soft spot for the crows.. so does, strangely, brad johnson.. even after 97 and 98!.

Dunstall always talks up our young players too..

i think dermie, dunstall and johnson all have a healthy respect for Roo and they all seem pretty chummy so I bet that helps too.

its the fxxksticks at Croc-a-shit media and purple, kornes, rucci and that flog whateley that hate us.. and will never let go of that hatred.

Agree on others

But the crows boys hate Dermie and I know that for a fact

After not tipping us in our last 4 games or 2017 including the granny ( he finally got one right ) he turned up to our 2017 GF after party and a few people told him to fk off

 

[pjcrows]

Years ago obviously, but Brereton tipped us to beat North in the 98 GF. Said North were playing arrogant, and had played 10 night games in a row before the GF and we had the best fitness in the comp. In 2017 he said we had a soft underbelly and was proved right. He has his downsides but the bloke knows footy.

Dunstall was part of our 2019 external review so he probably feels a little bit invested, maybe.

By The way we played against Collingwood I feel we probably should have got the win for sure, I feel other than their loss to Brisbane we are the only team that's outplayed them

Really?..

wow.. seems a pretty petty reason to hate someone.. just because they tipped against you in a few games of footy.

at least he turned up to the GF after party.. most wouldve gone to the tigers one.. ours would've been about as inviting as a visit to the local morgue.

More to it

Was definitely trolling the club for weeks , knew a few key players and people disliked him

turned up for no reason on the night and just hung out like a bad smell without talking to anyone , no one wanted to talk to him either … I saw it unfold and heard some murmurings

Prob annoyed re round 1 1991 still despite his premierships

Anyone could see we had a soft underbelly in 2017..

it showed in that north game in tassie that year amongst other games…

having pyke as coach, who didnt have a plan B when things turned against us, didnt help either. Pyke was like a deer in headlights when shit was going wrong.

if Walsh was still there we would've won the flag in 2017.

I remember the first game we played was against the Hawks, and "get some hawk on your fork" was on the banner. A great game and a great result for us. At the game I remember the crowd chants of "Dermie is a W****er" going around the game just moments before he smashed McDermont. Even my mother joined the chant after his dirty act. He was a hated player by opposition supporters and a loved played by the commentators at he time "Dermie comes from behind" being a common phrase. Anyway, regardless of this, I think he has some good insights to the game, and is certainly not the worst commentator.

This is right up there with your inside knowledge of Fogarty's contract negotiations.

 

[earlsta]

Can tell Dermie really loves Pedlar lol, was very excited seeing him lining up for a CBA.

Pedlar plays manic, much like Dangerfield. Pedlar will be our best mid imo.. better than Dawson/Rachelle. I give it two years.
