Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 4 - Crows v Demons Thurs April 4th 7:40pm AEDT (AO)

[FreoGirl]

Dees being recent premiers compared to Freo ?

David King is a dick. He just claims the latest Victorian win = "they will be in the GF." Eventually he will get it right.

It almost certainly is down in part to coaching, but I can't get over my "Adelaide are dumb" theory. There are players whose instincts are just all wrong.

Usually, when a player makes a mistake you can at least see what they were trying to do. With too many Crows players, they're running the wrong way, ignoring the obvious target or so desperate to do the one thing they're really good at (i.e. Dawson's long kicking) that they never do the obvious.

 

[WillHayward]

no, comparing the media's reaction after the Adelaide game last week compared to this week

Jumping at shadows I think

There is no "over east" conspiracy against Freo. Relax

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Petracca is one of the AFL’s good guys. He is going to be underrated as a player and person right up until the end of his career.

 

[ChookMFC]

Dees bringing toddlers into the circle for the song....how cute.

Reeks of b.s. P.R stunt.

Done it every week for over a year. Would you prefer to see them doing lines?

Unless it’s Geelong, in which case he will death ride that Geelong are shit right up until they lift the cup.

I’m sure demons supporters will be calling for a lengthy ban for Pickett

I’m sure Pies supporters will be paying for Pickett KC to get him off.

 

[Pee Tear Griffin]

Melbourne has a bad first quarter and beat Adelaide by less than Freo did, and are also 2 games ahead of a lot of teams. Commentators after Freo's win "Freo has to stop having these bad starts". Melbourne has a s**t first half and beat Adelaide by less, "Melbourne are now serious Grand Final contenders"...

Such a bizarre whinge. Who really gives a shit what the commentators say? It's pretty well established that most of them are morons.

Vic teams have won 11 from last 12 so unfortunately he will get it right most of the time.

But hey hopefully it's Swans/Freo/GWS fighting it out.

I'm not sold on your fwd line yet though. A bit iffy.

escapes criticism. He wins lots of hitouta but very few to advantage and offers absolutely nothing around the ground. The best use of him seems to be trying to negate the influence of the opposition ruckman which is fine if you're not supposed to be the best ruck on the list.

They tend to turn into trouble and tie themselves up in knots just overthinking it.

They are a family club.

Just like the Escobar family...

 

[hutchy31]

Wasn't just tonight though. Has been every game this year and most of last year.

I’m with you tbh. I wasn’t convinced by last year, I know it’s easy to say it now but the draw was kind and the scoring power masked some issues.

I know this isn’t an exact science, but when you look at an opposition team you wonder how many of their team would make it into a 44/46 man list made up of the whole comp. I’m not sure anyone but Dawson makes it from the Crows. They don’t have any other top level players imo, although Rankine has potential and Laird is a very consistent presence.

Anyway, 0-4 after two home games (and two away games against non-finalists from the previous year) is about as bad as it gets. I know they haven’t played WC, Hawks or North yet but they have to beat teams around them and they haven’t. I’d be shocked if they made finals from here, they can barely kick 60 points a game.

It's painful to watch.

I know they are young but you have to seriously wonder about the coaching ?

 

[Sea fog]

Beat the 19-9 Adelaide got against Geelong 2 weeks ago

Saints 30- Pies 15 a few weeks ago.

 

[Descent]

That was ugly.

 

[WillHayward]

I think Walker got them over the line in a few close ones last year which flattered them. That and the bad goal umpire call gave a perception they were a "finals" side.

Walker has now fallen off a cliff and we are seeing the real Crows for what they actually are.

 

[CrowToon]

Jake Soligo is the best player in Adelaide. Yes Port fans, in Adelaide.

He will win 3x Brownlows minimum. Guy is a superstar.

 

[Blackas87]

Fremantle at home, Melbourne on the road.

 

[ElectricG]

Tomorrow night the umps will give us another rogering to prove they’re not favouring SA during gather round

 

[Giant Pete]

Their list just looks bog average to me.

Their list just looks bog average to me.

So many scrappers who aren't composed and can't kick and aren't really AFL standard

 

[Fitzey]

Where’s roaming BT? That only comes out now if it’s Collingwood?

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Their list just looks bog average to me.

I thought it was good mid way through last year, but a lot of players have not lifted

I thought they overachieved.
