2nds 2023 Adelaide Crows SANFL thread

So, any positives out of that? Given the players we had out there, that's a disgusting loss.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Only one player deserving of an AFL call-up on today's effort .....Gollant ...but Nankervis is close

That's what you're looking for ......who's developing ...who's ready for the next step

McPherson looked composed .....Berry is off the pace .....McAdam, terrible ....Parnell, rusty

Nah. I spewed up.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Tariek was very ordinary today no doubt but he did lay 2 tackles?

They must have run into Newchurch .....accidental tackles don't count .....he would have been desperately trying to get out of the way

 

[Crow till I die]

I cant believe anyone could watch that and be anywhere near happy with what they saw.

its was utterly atrocious..

ALL game Centrals had players free.. and not just 1 or 2 here and there.. half a dozen to a dozen players with no opponents all the way up the field when running it out from their defence. Every single time.

what the fxxk was Godden doing allowing that to occur ALL game.. he stood in his coaching box looking like a stunned mullet..

the review Dunstall did recommended he be sacked because he was a garbage midfield line coach. So he was.. but then he was mysteriously re-employed 4 weeks later to coach our youth!..

He has his hands on a shitload of young AFL talent and some seasoned AFL veterans.. and he cant even coach them to a win over a bunch of part timer SANFL hacks.

What i worry about is that could be the mental approach this week coming out..lots of positive media, pumping up of tyres etc..that effort smacked of a team that turned up expecting to stroll to a win. I just hope the senior side tomorrow does not start with that mindset or we will lose

 

[Bearded Clam]

Gee, how many matches has taken you to realise this .....did you love him pulling out of that mark .....has no heart ...has no desire for any form of physical contact

Yet again, zero tackles ....he just doesn't want an AFL career hard enough

He had a poor game today… but he was miles and miles from being our worst today.. miles.

and he definitely layed some tackles. Including one in the last few minutes of the game so If it says 0 tackles on his stats its wrong.

he could’ve kicked the winning goal if Wright wasn't such a selfish cxxt.. a simply handball and newchurch wouldve run into an open goal with no one even near him to stop him..

But Wright is too arrogant to dish off.. and he missed the shot on goal.

Yes..the positive is if sturt thump port tomorrow the double blues are top of the ladder

Consecutive melts.

Mate.

i was looking forward to that game today.. really looking forward to it.

so fxxkn dissapointing.

how can anyone excuse such an incredibly poor effort.. it was pea fxxkn hearted.

Nankervis was awful today, fair dinkum did you watch the game? Hardly hit a target all day and his man kicked mutiple goals on him?

On "paper" should have blitzed. It's the sanfl, they will strike back next week.

 

[jackster83]

I'll have to defend BC for once. He's quite entitled to feel that way.
It was a disgraceful performance, brought on by a poor attitude, and remaining uncorrected for a whole four quarters.
It was a team-wide and club-wide problem. There's no point in dissecting indivivual players when wider attitudes need to be addressed.

Yep, hope the senior team don't go in with that attitude.

 

[TheRankineFile]

Yep, hope the senior team don't go in with that attitude.

Don't forget, we are "arrogant". And was when we had won 10 games in 40.

Gotta love your passion.

I've really liked Nankervis' work this season and thought he should be close to selection. But he really struggled in numerous defensive contests today, got killed. Makes me wonder if defense is his future at AFL level? Because there is talent there.

Meh.. he’s a young player.. and now he‘s playing in an unfamiliar role..

he’s been good the last few games but we really should expect he’s gonna have a bad game every so often as he finds his feet there.

 

[crowholder]

Do you think there is a bug running through the team today? We lacked the energy and intensity today

 

[crows dude]

Just went into Sanfl now skipping till the free kick at the end. Ciumsy by cook

Hopefully, I do like his run from back there and he has taken some good intercept marks during the season so far

 

[bigman]

It was clear from the first minute that the boys did not enjoy the drive north

Centrals were pumped and prime and we constantly enabled them to draw inspiration from the crowd their positive play and our sluggishness

We missed berg down forward with only gollant capable of taking a good grab

Our mids missed Hately and all proceeded to have dirty days and not willing to run both ways. The connection between Strauchnie and them was poor this week

We were selfish around goal and made poor decisions with the ball all over the ground

I Hope oloughlin did not pull the pin as he was down to play when worrell came out of the side I guess we will find out soon enough

Wright looked sick and a number of our players were struggling with fitness in last qr Mcadam and berry really sore

The lack of another tall and/or ruck was in clear evidence today

Our lack of composure in last 5-10 min disappointing

Dowling showed some good signs as did Gollant but even they were patchy in their performance

 

[crows dude]

Next week at home at 12:30 against south. Curtain raiser to afl match so no excuses to us members. Get there early. Cheer like you’ve never cheered before.

 

[George Kramer]

Watching that you really wonder if someone like a Tyler Brown was really needed over another key position player, that lack of key position depth in this squad still a real worry, probably costs them an SANFL flag too.

They clearly didn’t have confidence in the mids on our list and they clearly didn’t plan on playing Dawson in the middle. Thank **** for Dawson having the gumption to ask for it

 

[Alwaysacrow]

I only saw the second half so what happened to Worrell? I thought he was supposed to play?

Soreness

How could the club not have confidence in all our 2nd and 3rd round draft picked mids ?
That policy has worked a treat
