2nds 2023 Adelaide Crows SANFL thread

[Mattrox]

Playing the top side missing our ruck, CHF, best two midfielders and our captain.

Combined with SANFL umpiring not surprising.

We are better than Sturt, but need Strachan back if we are to take it up to Glenelg.

Support whoever you are more invested in.

I love the Crows but I have no great desire to see them win an SANFL flag, unless it was against the mini- filth of course. I'll Barack for Crows 2nds against anyone else and love keeping an eye on our young guys as well.

Hamill has been good today. Where on earth has this been before?

 

[aabp1978]

Hamill has some serious pace on him

He has always been good. It's just the concussions make him a suspect unfortunately.

Cannot fathom how it’s comfortable to play like that.

Ned Kelly has done alright

Says a lot about how weak the SANFL is these days if we can make it this far with half a team of top ups.

Between that and the quality of draftees coming through, football in SA is not in a great place.

Hately is not a good footballer

how did he go first round in the draft?

 

[Trigger13]

I can’t fathom how a player (Hately) with such limited ability was taken so high in the draft.

 

[Tadpole]

It’s a mystery to us all.

You didn't. You got this far with players like Strachan, Himmelberg, Crouch, Wright, etc playing a lot of games together. Whilst they might not be good AFL level players they are all very good SANFL level players.

SANFL is probably the second best competition. But the more AFL teams there are the weaker all the other leagues are as teh best players keep on leaving.

Hamill is good most weeks.. has some poor quarters here and there but on the whole is a solid player…

Problem is he needs to retire for the good of his future health..

So unfortunately its pointless persisting..

I love Norwood. But lov the Adelaide footy club more. And want to see them compete and succeed at every level. I know I’m in a minority though

Go you mighty Tigers!!

Well, I watched the first half only and it was obvious what was coming up.
We were very clean up forward and dirty at the back.
Unfortunatley, only one team could take marks, and that wasn't us. Glenelg too good, but mainly because they seemed to be twice our height in the one-on-ones. We need more talls! It was a complete physical mismatch.

 

[radiojake]

I do like how the commentators seemed to think that the Glenelg ruck was doing an amazing job outmuscling a clearly deteriorating and gassed Borlase

I don't think it does. It's more that an optimal team has a really strong top end of the lineup, not so much an even 22.

And Adelaide has that strong top-end, providing they stay healthy.

 

[DJ75]

Really need Strachan to have any hope. Him playing will change everything. It will shore up the defence, and let Gollant stay forward.
Unfortunately it looked like he still has a brace on his hand

 

[chazwazza]

Moon dome umpiring....gonna need a lot of luck now..

We suffered the other one big time

 

[Mileratkinsshow]

Is McKenzie better than Lachie Murphy?

Yes. Excellent observation!

I was st the game, and the size difference between our guys and Glenelg showed in the third quarter.

They came out to smash us the that third quarter and put us away.

Ruck scenario an issue too. They tried, but Rucking against mature men is tough


Think we will beat Sturt, play Glenelg in the GF.
