Review Adelaide v Sydney - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

[Dixie Normous]

Not happy Don.

Good: Sydney's determination
Bad: Tex's game
Ugly: The loss to West Coast and what could have been.....

 

[JP Sauce]

The Ugly: realising that we're still not that good.

 

[Golumless]

****ing disgusting performance.

 

[Lawrst]

Playing Jacobs and Jenkins.

 

[WAG]

Should be called 'The Bad, The Ugly and The Cooked.


Jacobs, Thommo, Douglas, Mackay, Jenkins. Please return your pay cheques.

 

[jackster83]

Luke Brown should be traded out. Farking useless.

 

[Slippery Pete]

I bet Josh Jenkins' manager didn't bring up his finals record when he was angling all season for a five-year contract.

Too much stink in this football club, and it's not new stink, some asswipes simply refuse to clear out the litterbox as apparently repeatedly spraying it with air freshener is a good idea.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Who cares. Eighteen years of failure. Some things never change with this club. Proven failures in finals games. The never ending merry-go-round of the Adelaide football club.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Ugly for the afl. Honest sides like the crows falling away to sides kissed on the di/k with concessions.

Good:
Charlie Cameron
Our third quarter

Bad:
Our consistently poor starts. We never got exposed against the weaker teams, but Sydney really punished us tonight, and we never really recovered.
Our consistent failure to convert when we control parts of the second quarter. It's another theme of our season, and Sydney exposed it again tonight by being good enough to make the most of their chances.

Ugly
Injuries on both sides
Sauce a certainty to miss the first few next year.

Our complete no show against West coast really ended our season, the rest is just for show. Disappointing.

A lot to digest but Jenkins' selection and preceding admission that he was injured was the worst of a bad week.

Sit down. The club is responsible for its constant failures and consistent gutlessness in finals.

Ugly
- a selection committee which has been so scared of making changes all year, to the point when a change was forced on us through JJ's injury, we had no option that we could rely on
- Kennedy has 40 touches already. We hand out possessions to midfielders like candy

 

[Smithalicious]

Good - Charlie!! Sloane! Talia persisting through injury.

Bad - Atkins effort without the ball. Seriously annoying me and a bad habit.
Thommo is slow and lost his one touch. All he is doing is throwing it onto the boot, it's not good enough.
Midfield ball movement, quick!! Get it on the boot and don't worry.....

Ugly - playing god damn injured players!! You don't carry injured players into a final. Maybe one gun who can push through an injury but not 3 or 4 players.

Looking forward to next year, need to mix up some players, coaches and positioning. We're nearly there but not good enough at all at this stage.

 

[adelaidecrows]

We need to play big game players. Lack a few.

Having to play injured players is the hidden danger of playing so few players during the year. No way we could have brought in Menzel or Beech for their first of the season - instead we should have been giving these guys a game or two during the year to get them involved.

[happy_knackers]

Bsmith. Did he go for a piss during the warm up and get locked in the dunny?

 

[Scorpus]

Our midfield is simply not good enough

Must move on plodders in favor of legitimate talent.

 

[Dixie Normous]

I wish to edit my opening post and switch Tex for Jenkins in the 'Bad' category, and add Hartigan to the 'Good' category.

Geelong do us all a favour and ensure that there isn't an all-NSW grand final.

I'm now on the GWS train for the next 2 weeks.

 

[pjcrows]

We conceded 120 points to a team that bases it's game plan on only scoring 80 points, and they had a one-man bench for a half.

That is unacceptable.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Players I wouldn't care about if they didn't play next year.

Jacobs
Mackay
Douglas
Thompson
Brown
McGovern

 

[GROTTO]

Found a place where we might find some players for next year.

If only we had a 2 or 3 week period against lower teams to play these players and rest some of our sore players.....

 

[Anzacpaul]

Also smith invisible.
