2nds 2023 Adelaide Crows SANFL thread

[cleanhands]

And 7 of those AFL games were as starting sub, so 9 full games across both grades for the year, not ideal. If only we had a veteran player on our list who had shown that he can make an impact late in games that we could've used instead...

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I don't see a future at AFL and we have much greater areas of need.

Yeah maybe not but could say the same re lots of players from each club that haven’t locked down a spot yet

For now he’s contracted so we can decide end of next year

He was travelling emergency a few times too (the worst role in football).

Yep, I'm no massive fan of McHenry but no player is turning those cards into a winning hand

 

[MsTopG]

How many full games of football did Ned play this season (at either level)?

Too many at AFL level.

 

[Peter Doherty]

AFC and the Power both kicked 11.9 today.

 

[jenny61_99]

Only one of our players that played today will definitely make it at AFL level and thats Nankervis

Most showed little when there was heat in the game before sturt ran out of petrol

Next Berry, Cook, Dowling maybe but only maybe and the rest not likely to not happening. Was very disappointed woth today. I know no Strachan, Crouch, Schoey but seriously should have done better than that.

Disagree. I thought Cook showed a lot of class today.

 

[George Kramer]

Disagree. I thought Cook showed a lot of class today.

Cook should have played more than 1 game this year

Last touch takes out the subjectivity and makes each OOB decision objective. All umpires have moments of inconsistency, incompetence and downright favouritism- anything that takes that away is good

Does everyone know that in the AFL the umpires receive constant communication from the umpire official? The insufficient attempt decisions are almost always paid by the umpire via their headset. It’s why there is always a pause

PA just can't get rid of that number.

 

[bigman]

Nank injured in last qr at least. Ice on ankle. Hope not too bad

If that’s true it’s still a subjective interpretation by an umpire and prone to error

Surely not?

I assumed it was the umpires themselves being clear with each other who was in charge because it's often been kicked from one umpire's jurisdiction into another's

 

[CrowToon]

Not how that rule works

It wasn't knocked out in the tackle or is this rule different in the SANFL?

 

[baldandbroke]

I am talking about the 40m kick that goes forward and rolls over the line.

Plenty of them in an AFL game.

On SM-A325F using BigFooty.com mobile app

I’ve always liked the last touch rule… but I think it should have one caveat.

An intentional kick from inside the defensive 50m that goes out of bounds outside the defensive 50m should be allowed.

 

[Mostyn]

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

Fair enough, but I disagree. The game stopping while a boundary umpire runs over, the ruckmen and midfielders set themselves and a throw in happens, which mostly ends up straight in the middle of congestion - I'm not going to campaign to remove it, but the ball immediately being kicked in offensively is more interesting from my perspective.

 

[Mostyn]

I'd pay Parnell out and create another list spot personally.

I'm not a massive fan, but he was very good today. Showed a lot of spirit as well.

Wow I grew up at Unley oval and called most of the greats Uncle but that was a long time ago - some of the Sturt supporter’s yesterday were horrid - I was called a w anchor for calling a holding the ball - and the crew sitting behind us constantly making comments about how every Crow player earns more than their entire team.

Great comeback win letsgo

I wonder if other SANFL teams' supporters are as bad.

-possibly worse -
I do find it intriguing watching the crowd at SANFL games and how invested they are with a second division competition, hats off to them each to their own just Interesting that they choose to do so, particularly those young enough to not have known a league without the Crows in it yet they still hate us.

and I went to every Sturt game for many years in the 70’s

 

[Peter Doherty]

North and Sturt are probably the two worst.

What do the top ups get?

 

[MsTopG]

Most definitely. Looked good yesterday. That gun Murphy is keeping him out.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

In the second half..

in the first half he and hamill were terrible.

both lucky they managed to redeem themselves.. but we would won by a hell of a lot more if they hadn’t have done so many stupid things in that first half.

I reckon he may made one bad error in first half which made a massive imprint on your mind

Hamill made a few

Parnell was a decent factor in the win , on the best players list behind Nank and Brown
