Review Bad and Ugly vs GC

[TubbsFarquhar]

Some things just never change.

 

[ftmch]

That 5 minute patch midway through the 2nd after Jnr's awesome goal was the turning point. We had our foot on the throat, and were a couple of goals away from breaking them. But a couple of woeful clangers from Tex, they get the ball forward, score a goal, break the momentum and the rest is history.

Tex has been good this year, but he's also gone to water at really crucial stages in the game, in far too many games.

Why wasn't Murray on Lukosius?

Do we really think Casboult is a greater threat?

I thought that was the obvious change.

Wow, that is bad, really bad.

GWS, Collingwood and Gold Coast.

The one thing I’m glad about nowadays that I’m retired - don’t have to go to work and here the gloating from Port supporters.

 

[Redline]

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

Good stats. Needs to be highlighted.

 

[CrowBloke]

No young A graders on the list.

Rachele/ Rankine/ Pedlar/ Soligo/ Michalanney ...?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Bad: Rachelle, is the classic downhill skiing player. Needs to learn how to win his own ball in a hard contest. Rankine was just as bad.

Fair comment ....Rachelle still has a long way to go ....now, let's talk Bailey Humphrey ....7 game player, looking mature in pressure situations

The Fugly,

I flew to Darwin to watch this shit. What a shitshow we are away from home.



At the game the umpiring had nothing to do with our weak as water collapse in the second and third qtrs. We lost all shape and started playing like millionaires. Worked hard at the end of the third to get back in the game. Got in front in the last and then in true Crow fashion went to pox again.

We're not playing finals until we can win something away from home and I dont mean by a few points against one of the bottom teams.

We're formidable at home and the opposite away.

I ****ing hate football now.

 

[kirky]

Had the calf strapped again tonight.

Well that isn’t an excuse for poor form.

 

[Danger Zone]

We've won one game outside of Adelaide this year. We are still a fair way off.

And surely we could just keep Murray deep in defence. He takes whoever goes there.

If it's Casboult, fine.

If it's Lukosius, fine.

Have our best defender in the key post

If Lukosius goes wandering up the field on Hinge, who cares. If he's deep in the F50 on Hinge though, that matters.

 

[ABAB]

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.

The AFL can clearly see we are finally a team on the up, if they give us the same shitty fixture next year then serious question need to be asked.

 

[Eddie Murphy]

I was only able to catch pieces of the game so I’m genuinely asking… why did we throw Murray in ruck when we were already light in defence thanks to the Doedee injury?

 

[Bovo]

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

Okay it’s me, but think about the Bovo!

 

[Schulzycrow]

Blah

In comparison Rachelle looked like someone stole his toys.

Good
pedlar 4/7 center bounce clearances
Compared to:
Laird 2/26
Keays 2/24
Dawson 0/20
Was the same last week.

 

[Twist_of_Lemon]

Were formidable at home and the opposite away.

Maybe our players just really idolise the 90s life a bit too much?

 

[King Elvis]

Not throwing the baby out with the bathwater - thought we'd be 10-12 this year, still think that.

We're 1-2 quality midfielders away, hopefully we can address that.

Hinge feels like Keays a couple of years ago - looks great, but ceiling isn't high.

Doedee, hugely important structurally. Butts struggles without him, but he's also on a top 3 pick, he's a rookie - keep that in mind.

Smith - going through the motions, very disappointing. Very little hurt, no real impact.

Milera - good again, put him in the midfield, we're lacking too much there.

Rankin - probably just a game he needed to get in the rearview mirror, done.

Umpires - disgraceful.

Midfield - don't know if it's just me, but we seem to still be relying on the old guys in there, instead of backing the youngsters in across a meaningful amount of time.


Honestly, it's a disappointing loss, and I'm pretty pissed off, but it's also a solid reflection of where we are at.

AS LONG AS THERE IS A PLAN, AND WE'RE DEVELOPING OUR SIDE, STRUCTURE ETC DURING THE YEAR, THEN I'M OK WITH LOSSES OF THIS NATURE.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

We've won one game outside of Adelaide this year. We are still a fair way off.

And a game we very nearly lost to a bottom 3 Hawks side.

 

[ABAB]

I was only able to catch pieces of the game so I’m genuinely asking… why did we throw Murray in ruck when we were already light in defence thanks to the Doedee injury?

Probably wanted Thilthorpe one out inside 50 and nearly worked......

 

[The Perfect Stranger]

Young lists struggle with consistency and struggle to travel. This isn't rocket surgery.

Youngest list doesn't mean much when some of the youngsters aren't very good.

 

[jackster83]

We've won one game outside of Adelaide this year. We are still a fair way off.

We only just scraped over the line in that one too.

We're a top four team at home but a bottom four side away.

 

[ContrarianCrow]

I feel like I’m on crazy pills with how everyone just seems to accept Hinge being a walk up start in our best 22? Is it just that people forget he’s there? What does he actually offer over someone like Worrell?

 

[Afcprophet]

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

How many clearances were clearances and how many were frees? How many were when keays was on him? Keays is meant to stop their best player and also be damaging on the other end. He was one of our better players tonight.
