Game Day Adelaide Crows versus the GWS GIANTS

[SmegHead]

Full game has been uploaded to YT thanks to Jeff Albertson (is he one of you guys?)



Love the C7 intro on GWS' checklist:
1. Win in Perth - Check
2. Win 6 in a row - Check
3. Kick over 150 - Check twice
4. Win in Adelaide - ?

They should have revisited that after the game and filled in FAIL.

Should get a win in Adelaide too.

Its shows GWS just how far away they are from being a contender. They can't beat a 5-8 side away, in fact they were smashed.

Ill post more when I'm not drinking cheap scotch at 2KW

You found cheap scotch at 2KW?! So $10 a glass?

Was on the hill with a bunch of mates. Great win. Great night. Our 3qtr lead gave me condidence during the 4th that we could hold them off. I mentioned to mates before the game our chances will go a long way if VB doesn't touch the ball. Love the guy, but he's done at AFL level. Hendo, still marshmellow soft. Tackles are ineffective and his kicks, while penetrating, are typically to 50/50 contests at best. Also one 50/50 ball he bumped shoulders with a GWS player then fell down like the earth disappeared below him.

Congrats on the win I thought you guys would get up just had that feeling,Eddie goal of the year so far? gotta be very close no doubt.

Bickley wants to drop Milera for Mackay? Thank **** he is no where near the coaching staff these days.

He said Milera need to go back to find some form and Yes after watching his last few Games he needs a rest or needs to find the football more. Lets face it we are allover Douglas, Brad and Thommo but Milera with 8 touches and 12 week before,And nothing gets said.
Bicks also said either Matt or Brad should come into the Side or they look at MacKay.

Yeah - you just skipped over the 3 goals he kicked last week too.

Milera is talent and we just need to get him to 50 games asap.

Blues are going fantastic too! Improved dramatically. Keep winning and there a shot at eighth. Beating geelong was wonderful.

Not sure how you build teams if you don't include youngsters and give them leave passes. Its similar to the Gold Pass you advocate for Thompson etc. Its about backing both groups in at times longer than you would others.

So is Matt and Brad, need to 50 games into them ASAP, But if you playing Bad and Look Tired you need a rest,
Watch the Gold Coast game again 3 Goals yes but still not getting his hands on the ball

Team needs to win games aswell, Kids need to learn that if your form down your in trouble, Yes some of the older player deserve a break but There are more than 2 Kids that can come in to replace him, Milera good and will get better, But he needs work and a break.

That should always be number 1 philosophy. I think you can carry 1 kid and 1 senior at times. Its when the balance of good and bad players ( senior or junior) becomes too skewed towards a team not winning that you make the appropriate changes

Yep - the kid hasn't played ten AFL games yet - if fact according to the AFL website he's played 7 games since AFl debut and kicked 5 goals. Sheez... some people need to give the kid a break! I think he's been remarkably consistent for such a newbie.

Are we comparing senior players playing in the midfield versus a rookie forward flanker?

I agree the guy has done a fairly good job , so far. The only problem I may have with him is that I haven't seen him win his own ball much at all.
I think that as long as we can afford to have him in the team we should but I don't believe he should stay in the team instead of a Douglas or even a Seedsman, for example. Even though some here believe that both the above players have not played well in the last few weeks.

Crows have a few Kids in the side and Kids ready to replace them, they get games when they are good enough and rested when there form suffers,

Yes it seems to some that if you are a kid with potential you are allowed to play bad and it forbidden to talk about.
Milera needs to find the Ball more, does he get that in the AFL or would he be better having a rest find the ball and come back better for.

Here's an idea…get rid of Hendo this week and give him a shot on the wing.

He also wanted Atkins dropped for Hendo

Smith was on the wing Hendo played of the half back line.
And Hendo if he does not improve would be the next to go after VB, But with Milera I would prefer a hungry Milera after the Bye than a Kid struggling to find form both before and after the bye.

Thanks a lot my friend I hope so.

Wow I'm genuinely stunned

 

[Elite Crow]

Wow I'm genuinely stunned

Yep it was after the Richmond game

 

[BRL121]

To be fair, at that stage many on here were calling for Atkins to go, maybe not for Hendo, though!

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Bickley is awfully blinded towards B-grade non-statistical servants of the club.
