Review R19: The Good, Bad and Ugly vs. Essendon

[FR0GGY]

How is this absolute trash still getting a game.. let alone being classed as a leader..

He’s a fxxkn parasite.. total liability.View attachment 2052757

Surely you don’t mean keays?

 

[Scorpus]

Unfortunately Dawson was concussed and will miss next week

We also sent him back out on the ground and didn't test him properly by the looks of things, so that's poor form from us

 

[spenze]

One of those tackles may get him suspended though

May?

It's us, he'll take the six weeks Cameron and Bedford were meant to get. Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned and Michael Christian is scorned and he's tucking

 

[Mattrox]

One of those tackles may get him suspended though

1 arm free and players own momentum thrust him forward.

Hopefully that saves him. But its a lottery.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Ugly: there is a clear pattern of the umpires refusing to pay us a free kick when a game's on the line. That's like the fourth time in two years.

The fact that we stole it any way shouldn't spare them.

 

[RicMcHart]

The incredible
Ben Keays

The Great
Fog. Even without the goals, his work was exceptional

The Amazing
Our last quarter midfield was Keays, Taylor and Berry. And we won the game. Unbelievable

The Good
Hinge
Max
Taylor
Dowling

The Enigmas
Rachele - Awful, lazy, soft, 3 goals, match winner.
Keane - some good, some awful. Bizarre

The absolute disgrace
The discrepancy between the free kicks Ess got in front of goal and what our forwards had to deal with. Would love to see the F50 free kick counts

The who the hell knows
Holding the ball. I have absolutely no idea what it is anymore

I am quite confused as well on the Holding The Ball interpretation. How many free kicks were paid against the Crows for holding the ball when there was no prior opportunity? Are we being instructed on making an attempt to dispose of the ball when tackled and so immediately we are penalised?
Or are the umpires that bad and biased against us!

 

[BACCS]

I thought ROB was huge in that last quarter with a couple of big marks and helping us get on top in the midfield again

 

[Bearded Clam]

Surely you don’t mean keays?

Keays had the best game of his life… absolutely mammoth.

Only taken him over a hundred to finally get there mind you..

Lets see if his current form can continue before we get too excited.

Good/Great:

The way our backline stood up with Butts & Murray out.

A forward line core of Fog, Thilthorpe, Keays and Rachele.

Bad/Ugly: I must be getting old because I don't understand how the htb rule works any more.

 

[BRL121]

What a cracking game of footy.

Keays and Fog's best games for the club.

Amazing how much better we look when we take the game on.

To win in Melbourne with multiple injuries and shit umpiring was great.

Amen!

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Congratulations! Fabulous win!

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Keays had the best game of his life… absolutely mammoth.

Only taken him over a hundred to finally get there mind you..

Lets see if his current form can continue before we get too excited.

lol.

 

[BACCS]

The best thing for me is winning that without Butts and Murray for over a half, without Tex or Rankine and without Dawson for most of the last quarter. That is ****ing huge for this club moving forward knowing it can be done without some key players.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

lol that gave me lots of enjoyment. Thank you

I was really hoping all the boys would pretend to fall over the football.. karma I say.

 

[50BC]

1 arm free and players own momentum thrust him forward.

Hopefully that saves him. But its a lottery.

After this week, I honestly have no idea what to expect

 

[boncer34]

Lost 2 KPDs.
On our home deck.
We clearly had the rub of the umpires.

And you still won.

Should be very proud. Far to good.

 

[Pugsley]

Brutal: campaigners playing Mr Brightside while the boys celebrate on the field.

Would have been worse if Jack Riewoldt was singing it.

 

[GreyCrow]

Lets see if his current form can continue before we get too excited.

12 goals in 4 games says current form is good

 

[Bovo]

Our first quarter was quite frustrating to watch. Our hand balling was atrocious. I felt we were getting enough of it but weren’t clean enough. That second quarter was epic.

Good:
Keays
Berry
Fog
Screw it I’m adding ROB to this list

Bad:
Losing momentum in that 2nd half

Ugly:
Those injuries

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Settling in to watch Brad Scott's press conference

 

[pjcrows]

Can’t work out if you’re serious or not.

I have to assume this is sarcasm lol

Sarcasm, obviously!

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

So Murray Butts Dawson Keays and possibly Bond all out next week. At least Curtin will come in!

 

[jackster83]

The best thing for me is winning that without Butts and Murray for over a half, without Tex or Rankine and without Dawson for most of the last quarter. That is ****ing huge for this club moving forward knowing it can be done without some key players.

I'd much rather a win like that than a late season win against a North or WCE who are already in Mad Monday mode.

 

[Hell Boy6669]

Great win but sheesh rewatch the last 30 seconds and you’ll see why we don’t win close games under nicks.

They had about 3 clear cut opportunities to win, letting Merrett waltz out of the square is criminal
