Review Bad and Ugly vs GC

[Interloperer]

Ugly - We are a big club, why must we play at every sh!# hole ground.

Having an away game moved to a location where fitness is the determining factor should be a good thing for a team that claims to be the fittest in the league.

I said it in the match thread. Why weren’t we wearing our white strip? It was so bloody hard to distinguish players. Doedee was a huge loss for us. We are no where near as good as we think. I just felt this loss was a matter of giving up. When things were going our way, the boys had plenty of energy. When we started losing the battle, the players looked beat across the ground. This was a really bad loss

One team was red and the other was blue

Pedler needs to play a majority of the centre bounces.

 

[kirky]

Nah I’m okay with his game, needed to do quite a bit of heavy lifting with Laird and Sloane having stinkers

We just couldn’t compete with Rowell/Anderson

The reason Laird has stinkers is because he isn’t an A grader. A graders rarely have stinkers but I reckon he has had at least 3 this year and all are away from home!

He is one of the oldest players on our list and needs to lead from the front!

The last couple of weeks it feels like Sloane is the only unlucky prick that gets called for HTB. Everyone else can throw it away, drop it, put it above their heads get tackled and bring it to ground for a ball up. But the second Sloane gets touched its HTB.

Needs to start throwing it more, so it looks like he is disposing of it.... As it's super obvious when he hasn't disposed of it correctly

 

[Bovo]

That was us for the last 3 years. You'd rather that?

If you're going to watch the youngest list in the league navigate a rebuild then yeah, it'll be up and down. Don't get too excited - or too angry - until we're in contention.

Hint: we're not in contention.

That’s fair

 

[Minor Threat]

Doedee’s last game for the club?

 

[cleanhands]

Pedler needs to play a majority of the centre bounces.

We don’t use him enough in there

 

[Bovo]

One team was red and the other was blue

I’m colourblind and couldn’t differentiate the two

 

[Bovo]

One team was red and the other was blue

And neither had white shorts!

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Not when you’re colourblind like me. It was soo frustrating. Yes we won the clearance….oh it’s them!

The white strips are bad but I can see why this would be frustrating.

Had the calf strapped again tonight.

Pretty simple stat highlighted during the telecast

We've won the contested ball stat for every home game

And lost it for every away game

Just go into our shell at times on the road

 

[WaynesWorld19]

You could see at Half Time ....the Crows were gassing / ultra sweaty ....and GC looked the fresher

Crows had to go into a cool room at breaks .....GC stayed on the ground

Same as against GWS ....Laird could only muster the 1st half ....then petered out in the heat

Get it into the FWD 50 & we score .....but our DEF continues to be the Achilles Heel

Good
Keays .....the boy stands up under pressure ....has a never give up attitude, replicated by Murphy
Michalanney ....just stands up week after week ....never gets fazed & will be a great Finals player
Milera ....back to his dancing best

Bad
Butts ....tries hard, annoys, but gives easy goals away .....lost count, 3 min goals he cost .....not up to it !
Sloane ...please retire gracefully ....you try hard, but are largely ineffectual
Ned McHenry ....will always be on the fringe of the 22
Soligo ....was never a contributor tonight, just made up the numbers
Laird .....has a mental problem with heat

Ugly
Some strange coaching moves & matchups by Nicksy ....why did he take Keays off Rowell in the 3rd Qtr
The DEF is a mess ....we need KPD's !

 

[Afcprophet]

Also had 76% tog, less than pedlar

Had the calf strapped again tonight.

 

[CrowBloke]

Fog, Jones, Keays, Smith, Milera, Dawson can hold their heads high

+

Keays – c’mon enough is enough. Seriously talentless footballer. The momentum killer.

2 interesting takes on Keays.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Winning on the road consistently (as a non VIC side) is the hardest thing and when you do that, you are a contender.

Still a young side with a lot of growth and development needed. Need a refresh for next week, hit the bye and then prepare for the second half of the season. Keep winning at home and if you can snag a couple away and you are in with a good chance.

I don’t want to make finals if we can’t win away

 

[Twist_of_Lemon]

More red flags than a Turkish embassy.

We need to trade in a genuine A grade midfielder so that the likes of Peds, Soligo and Rachele can develop without being cooked due to the lack of class above them.

 

[1990crow]

Adelaide crows things.

 

[Carn The Texan]

Worst umpiring since the Dogs game in 2016.

Fog might have been our best.

Midfield seemed incoherent.

Worrell should have been in.

No more games in Darwin, Cairns, Alice, Ballarat, Launceston, whatever, please just make it stop. Our first game in Melbourne for the year is still 3 weeks away.

 

[adelaidecrows]

I don’t want to make finals if we can’t win away

This year was our coming out year. Making up the numbers in finals is a waste of time.

[The Perfect Stranger]

Keays had some brilliant moments and is a warrior but he also went at 36% DE and his direct opponent got a game high 10 clearances

His opponent turned the game in GC's favour. Now that kid is a genuine elite midfielder.

Hinge key defender was the Massie on Franklin of today

Had one reasonable half on Jeremy Cameron

... in the second half, after the game was lost and Geelong were in cruise mode

And we thought we could take it to the bank
