2nds 2024 Adelaide Crows SANFL thread

[Carmo]

Smith and Schoenberg stand out as the clear 1 and 2 respectively of the mid type players that are outside the ones.

Burgess and Gollant the pick of the talls, though you don't keep marking power like TT out for long.

I heard one of the commentators speculating that Curtins knee isn't 100%. He does seem to lack a bit of leg speed and looks like jes being a bit careful out there.

 

[BRL121]

Pedlar and Schoenberg the two who showed nothing worthy of an AFL recall. At least McHenry put in a fair bit of effort trying to umpire the game.

 

[cmndstab]

Worried Pedlar is heading towards a nothing career right now.

Definitely been a complete waste of a year for him. Based on his 2023 form I'm happy to back him up to rectify the issue over another preseason, but he wouldn't want 2025 to look anything like 2024.

 

[Executive Landlord]

Good second half for McHenry, one touch and no tackles.

Would explain a bit

Pedlar got nine tackles and did a lot of pressure around the ball. I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that's what he was focussing on this week.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Good second half for McHenry, one touch and no tackles.

Surely he's done?

Yeah, I'm not sure about the knee thing, but he has seemed a bit tentative.

 

[spenze]

Good to see our ruckman not getting towelled up by a journeyman this week

 

[BACCS]

Thilthorpe is clearly in next week, the plan was only one in the sanfl

 

[Executive Landlord]

Surely he's done?

I genuinely think I could provide more myself

 

[finn]

What are the armbands for anyone?

To raise awareness and money for the Sammy D Foundation to stop violence;
was under age (u18) player who was killed by a coward punch.

 

[jackster83]

Wow, just saw the scores.

How was Thilthorpe?

 

[Mostyn]

Surely he's done?

Yeah, he's done but he kicked a good goal at one stage.

I think he might have spent a fair chunk of time off the ground

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Ned's an idiot

Complete waste if a 1st round pick.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Complete waste if a 1st round pick.

In a good draft.

 

[Trigger13]

Curtin = Mcasey mark 2?

Moves like a semi trailer, looks disinterested. Yikes.

 

[OccamsRazorRay]

Smith, TT, Burgess, Ryan all had pretty decent. I think TT got most of the attention, but his ability to ragdoll plays and compete was pretty awesome. Gollant was good to start but faded. Pedlar and Schoenberg decent but nothing spectacular. To my eye Curtin is nursing an injury, was very pedestrian out there at times in terms of sprinting and breakaway speed, but his endurance and ability to compete was still pretty good

Nek minnit…

Back in the 1’s for “shape”

 

[cleanhands]

Good second half for McHenry, one touch and no tackles.

More importantly how was his shape

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Pedlar and Schoenberg the two who showed nothing worthy of an AFL recall. At least McHenry put in a fair bit of effort trying to umpire the game.

That's all he does. Runs around pointing like he's a leader of the club when in reality he'll be ousted at the end of the year. Not soon enough for me.

 

[bigman]

So the Crows reserves side are pumping the reigning Premier, yep, the SANFL is stumping their development and the Crows should be able to recruit better players.

Makes a difference George when we have majority of boys on afl list. Believe me when we have more injuries and so many top ups that are not up to sanfl standard we look like a team of flogs.

Need min of 15 afl players. After that you are screwed

 

[bigman]

I can't believe the change in our SANFL game plan today!
For the rest of the year, Bearded Clam and I have had to put up with the oppo gaily kicking to each other through our "guarding of space", until their next goal, then repeat.

Today, however, we have given them zero space right across the ground and have immediately tackled them, removing their composure. Then, it is us cutting through them with long, precise passes, until we goal. Halleluja!

15 afl players makes a big difference BRL
