2nds 2023 Adelaide Crows SANFL thread

[hugecannon]

Crouch’s decision making when he gets the ball under the slightest pressure is awful!!

 

[Bearded Clam]

Berry.. another shitly skilled midfielder..

Delist

 

[jackster83]

My god that was *n stupid from crouch..

Hes not even a sanfl standard player

It's insanity that Hately had a 30 disposal, 3 goal game but we called up Crouch instead.

Our coaches suck.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

How does Berry go from being one of our most promising young mids to the delist pile in 6 months?

 

[MRB37]

SANFL form is such a weird thing. We demand it of some but then delist P Wilson, B Turner who churn out good games. Is it an indicator or not?

It's the nature of our drafting with those types where we often seem to prioritise jack of all trades, who may not have an elite trait or two that will put them above the pack and let them perform at AFL level.

We've occasionally taken the punt with guys like Anthony Wilson who had elite speed, but couldn't kick and hoped a year in the system would straighten that up, but for the most part they seem to pick those solid, ball winning mids who don't have any physical profile who can thrive at SANFL level, but don't have anything that works at AFL level.

Wow.. newchurch with a bullshit goal

Godden/VB

They couldn't coach a pig to roll in shit.

Part of me thinks Godden has done a "Jones" on him. Far too in his own head when he's playing and not working on instincts.

 

[Mutineer]

Is Hately colour blind?

 

[Bearded Clam]

Bahahaha.. hately.. handballs to his direct opponent

 

[Bearded Clam]

Wright you selfish prick

 

[MRB37]

Keane still needs to work on his kicking. Over cooked a few today.

 

[Mutineer]

Not many plusses today but Borlase continues to impress.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Keane has terrible skills

 

[NSolis]

Fogarty crushed any ideas I had about SANFL form being meaningful.

When was Fogarty's SANFL form particularly good? As far as I can tell he averaged under a goal a game for his time in the seconds, and kicked more than 2 goals once in 36 games, in a random game in 2018. Not exactly kicking the door down - his AFL form was better.

edit: or maybe you're saying his SANFL form was mediocre and he got picked anyway - guess that would make sense.

 

[Scorpus]

Crouch finally does something!

He's back to a net negative of 1 goal in this match

Pretty sure that was the point of the statement.

 

[MRB37]

I don't think any defenders on our team know or understand goal line defence.

 

[NSolis]

Pretty sure that was the point of the statement.

Makes sense - I interpreted it as a complaint about selection rather than a comment on SANFL form being not very tightly connected to AFL form.

 

[Bearded Clam]

How is it that the eagles players have so much time and space?.

Its been like this all year.. all fxxkn year our dickheads have given their opponents so much space..

Are we just to arrogant to think we need to bother manning up?

 

[MRB37]

25m penality for no discernible reason there.

 

[Mutineer]

Crows +1 free kicks..Eeeeek

 

[Bearded Clam]

Too easy for the eagles yet again to run it out of defense uncontested.. no crows player near them

 

[Bearded Clam]

Himmelberg.. pfft

The Eagles churned out a decent amount of AFL players when he was there. At least that's what I was told by people I know with close ties to that club. I never actually bothered to fact check this. Starting to think the cheeky buggers scammed me.
