Game Day 2023 Round 23 - Crows v Swans - 7:40pm @ Adelaide

[Millky95]

Too easy that one

 

[The King!]

when they go forward they look dangerous

we just haven't let them much

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Red Time …groan

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Poor close to the half but hopefully we can switch back on in the 3rd.

 

[RUNVS]

Nice of Sydney to hand Adelaide momentum before half time.

 

[The King!]

Dawson reward for going head first

 

[MF]

The home town umpiring has arrived

 

[Kiama Chris]

Dreadful umpires

 

[RampeRobe]

How does Dwayne Russell have a job? Honestly.. complete and utter halfwit

 

[Millky95]

59 points in a half in very slippery conditions.

You'd take that

 

[Citrus22]

Fantastic quarter, just a shame to give up a couple late.

Stephens with a game high 375 metres gained

 

[RilesMacca]

Great half of footy, tougher and cleaner simple as that.

 

[The King!]

we need to keep dominance in the middle

our defence cant hold out repeat entries

overall good first half

 

[Jeffers]

Good half. Have to close them out early in the third to kill their will

 

[The King!]

mostly a class above so far

but far from over

they can score quick

they whinged about umps got a big run of bs late

 

[Wolfgang West]

Just feel this a set up for us to get reamed next week against the Dees, umps actually decent against non-Vic sides

Never seen us get favoured like this away.

99% of the frees have been there. Your listening to the crowd. It’s still 1964 in Adelaide. They’re in a time warp

 

[Donza]

Only 15 pages.
Swans must be winning

 

[Citrus22]

Interesting to see Mills doing the shutdown role on Dawson, he's been very effective.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Decent first half

 

[J_Moore]

I just have zero faith in Hickey’s disposal these days. He can’t even make regulation handballs.

End of that quarter saw that awkwardly-timed backwards handball to a flat-footed Rampe, followed by completely missing Stevens 5m away out of the ruck contest. pretty sure both turned what should have been easy inside-50s into Crows scores.

It’s not even a particularly physical skill! Not the sort of thing that should be deserting you at 32.

All in all, though, a good half!

 

[wills2g]

its pretty likely we play gws 1st week ffs

 

[ErrolisGoldun]

Huge first half Swans!!

Super impressive and crows are coming hard too, need to keep going, don’t hold back ala anytime we have a lead

 

[Citrus22]

Sloane is listed as injured, interesting to see what comes of that.

 

[Wolfgang West]

warners shallow kicks

Sorry he’s not quite the footballer some think. This bullshit of kicking boomerangs on the run is because he won’t give when he should. Puts forwards leading patterns into disarray and more often than not he gets caught.

 

[melbournehammer]

Really pleasing half. Actually played wet weather footy - forcing the ball forwards as often as possible and hitting the body hard every contest.
