Port pace in support was key to this game. They killed us on the outside after their player, nearly always wanting it more, got the ball free to the support flashing by. Time and again we were left flat footed and chasing tails in close.
Good
Eddie very dangerous but give him some fellas that can get the ball to ground and help keep it in the area.....
Thomson, Sloane and Smith worked hard to get us back into the game
Bad
Worse game played by Danger. Seemed to be looking for the frees rather than just doing the work. A few...
Good-kerridge,dougy, danger
Bad-failure to kick goals from set shots in the fifty, unbelievably bad for so long and compared to Norfolk who rarely missed in the 50
Ugly-Jacobs consistently palming to the opposition....when he rarely got his hand on it.
At the game, couldn't get within 3 all day and then they just persisted and snuck it home.......not bad for my first live match of the year...thanks boys it was worth the trip from PNG
At the game today, a rare treat while visiting from PNG. Sat at the Lockett end.
The Great - silence and then team self abuse from carlon's own supporters. At one stage a bloke called out that the President of their cheer squad should be sacked for not doing his job well enough.
The good - the...
Good - Otten returning to his form of a couple of years ago. Poise and great defensive marks but impressive of all was his ability with the left handed spoils, on occasion getting the ball to ground and gathering again for a clearance.
Bad/Good - The constant moves into the centre corridor...
Generally I think that this is true, although Geelong and Freo last year might have disagreed with their selections:D
I would prefer their half full approach to your half empty Carl. BTW, he is small isn't he:eek:
From other posters who have seen him play and train it sounds as if one of the benefits he will probably bring is his ball delivery. If he can get the ball and deliver it accurately within the 50m arc, we might be able to get away from the 'bomb it to Tippett' attitude and see the latter and Tex...
It is also not just about having a tough bloke or two on the field. It is important that the whole club projects a certain toughness from the top down, in how it deals with the AFL and other clubs. This has been represented in various ways over the years...Sheedy tying the wind sock down at...
Thanks Jenny great work and well done boys. I have a personal experience of the Club in this way so I am not surprised. Having my house damaged in the Canberra bushfires and then to get a call from Steven Trigg the very next day was super support. Anything we can do he asked....a donation of a...
Not completely on subject but I want to say thanks and Merry Christmas to our talented Moderators and posters this year. I live and work mostly outside Australia and BigFooty is a lifeline for my Crows interest. Again thanks for the terrific job you all do through your contributions, positive or...
An interesting article bemoaning the skill drop in the Gaelic game....taken over by handball of all things. Complains that the Aussies better kicking skills in the Test was reflective of the poor kicking skills now endemic in the Irish game....doesn't sound that much different to the arguements...
