2nds 2023 Adelaide Crows SANFL thread

[Jeffcrowe]

I don’t watch much Sanfl during the year but with the last touch rule - if that came into the AFL do you think it almost makes them redundant at that level? Would clubs look at the Gollant, Grigg bigger mobile guys and just dispense with the ROB’s and Witts types altogether?

A little bit but not altogether

It’s a horrible rule , insufficient intent works better in afl

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Fxxk.. what happened to Nank?

Injured ?

 

[Crow_68]

Fxxk.. what happened to Nank?

Yeah, just heard Parnell say ‘hope to have him back in a few weeks’….anyone know what he’s done?

 

[CrowToon]

Still can't believe the Wright goal was called a point

I know. Should've been no score as he dropped the ball on the ground while being tackled.

Oh, I like last touch. Keeps the game moving and less stoppages.

Good comeback victory.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Rules state while the afl side is still going anyone can play.

I believe they can’t play if they played in rd 24

We could be in it if our board pushed it.

Instead of paying $500k a year to the SANFL to ream us we could use that money for the reserves to travel with the seniors for most of our away games.

Priceless team bonding, playing under the same rules, same jumper, play home games where we want to etc etc.

Olsen will never take money out of his mates pockets though, imagine all the smoozing he did today and the next couple of weeks with the old boys.

I reckon the AFL/SANFL/WAFL like that a lot of footy fans in SA and WA don't realise there already is an AFL reserves comp.

Nah shocking when you have players not competing wanting the ball to go out

And we need to keep the all sizes of players inc rucks and the skill st throw ins

Just less of them which insufficient intent sorts out

 

[Mattrox]

Free sturt players everywhere.. great work as usual godden

Was superb work in the end.

 

[DJ75]

For all the criticism of Nicks and selections etc, one thing he has absolutely done is create a culture of never giving up.
If we can maintain that when we hit our peak, we are going to be a fearsome club.

Would love a thread about what Clam likes about the Crows but it would be a blank page.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Lol if he had ball at all before being pulled to the ground, it was for a split second without prior.

That wouldn’t be htb in any competition in the country

I’m sure there are other names to add

 

[Crow_68]

I was impressed with Borlase today, especially rucking after halftime. He seemed to have a very good reach, with many two-handed hits on target. He also kept on and on, despite looking puffed in the first quarter.

I am warming to giving him a one-year deal to see how he develops.

Has a few shortcomings but if he can improve in a few areas, will make a solid AFL footballer.

 

[BRL121]

We were completely smashed in the stats, winning only handballs and tackles (and scoring).*

It was amazing how we were rescued by players who had not been sighted at all: McKenzie, Clamp, Wright, with last-quarter heroics.
It was impressive how McKenzie flicked the switch to show how much he wanted to win the match.

* This will happen when you don't turn up for a half.

He looked knackered before half time.

But seemed to get a second wind in the second half.

Made some big contests in the last 10 minutes.


Have to keep him. He has Footy smarts.

That went about 25m..

Absolute joke of a call

I said exactly that as well.

Agree we have to keep him.. he’s good depth.

reckon it was the sturt boys that tired more than him getting a second wind though.. thats the difference with training under burgess instead of a sanfl level fitness coach.. and training fulltime.

sturt spent most of their tickets in that first quarter and a half. They did the same two weeks ago against us.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Any word on Nank injury ?

 

[StonesThrow]

Read all the game day commentary here and was surprised that we actually won.

Yep that’s why we were pretty calm early , almost too calm though ! Knowing it’s the best team over 4 QTRs

Was out at Father's Day lunch when game started. Score check... I don't blame him being emotional and reactionary.


I watched 2nd half. Borlase did some good things in ruck. He'd have a better tank if he got leaner, but then gives up strength.

The umpire rot seemed to really kick in after we hit the front.

I liked Keane's work.
