Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 1 - Crows v Saints Sun March 16th 12:35pm AEDT (AO)

[MJG14]

Jack McRae has found the perfect system in which to be utterly ineffectual beyond the world of SuperCoach.

20 disposals in a half for 102 metres gained and 2 score involvements.

One of the great modern charlatans of the AFL. The All-Australian concept became irredeemable after blokes like him starting getting guernseys.

This is very unfair. He was very good in those AA years and his selection was never really controversial. In fact, there was talk back then about him being underrated.

He's far better than a stat padder even if he is past his best now.

 

[Freomaniac]

To be fair, Crows has historically punished any side Ross Lyon has been a part of at Adelaide with his dull tactics.


Case in point.

Not all the time.

 

[Hank Scorpion]

Can't remember a Rnd 1 with as many blowout results as this one?

 

[Mr5000]

Howling breeze only thing that will restrict this to less than 100 points

doesn't bode well for the season does it

 

[Freomaniac]

Oh good. Crows activated the sub. Sid Draper just got his first disposal

 

[Elixuh]

The only thing they could derail this crows teams season is their coach Nicksy

Depends. I mean, it may suck to be a middling team right now.

There's an argument that we are about to see a season with 4-5 genuine premiership-worthy teams all vying at once.

Our board and some of our assistant coaches too.

It's an Adelaide thing. Good lists, bad coaches.

And it'd depend who he has around him, surely. I mean, 17 contested possessions already, ffs.

Tigers have won a game, Saints just need to tank and get the number 1 pick this year and next before tas and try to rebuild

 

[bricky4]

Blowout Round continues it seems

69 years to win your 1st flag 59 years later and 5 grand finals for zero wins later since..what on earth would posses someone to support St Kilda??

Whaddya reckon we're supposed to do now? Change teams?

 

[Freomaniac]

As long as the wall keeps Hinkley in, ill pay for it myself

What a dumb post.

St Kilda is the one club where if a person said I’m switching teams most people would say fair enough

 

[Freomaniac]

The one time we had both we won two flags back to back.

And you had both when you made finals in 2001-3 and 2005-9

 

[Elixuh]

1 game is all RTB needs to win 0

Probably but you try it, not as easy as it sounds.

 

[OverseasCrowNA]

I said GOOD COACHES

 

[Call Me Cake]

St Kilda has made Grand Finals and won finals in the last 20 years none of them have any grounds to complain. What they could change is the unjustifiable arrogance though.

Anyway kneejerk reactions to Round 1 same like every year, let the season play out.
