Got my answer in the end, thanks.

Jones was fine in the 2nd half, people like you just have his papers stamped already

Yep.. jones recovered and definitely had a better second half..

And he wasnt alone in having a dirty first half.. wasnt many players that were wearing the crows jumper that didnt…

Probably only Rowe.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Probably only Rowe.

Although.. you really couldnt blame the defensive or forward lines..

The midfield in that first half was so pathetic the freo mids were pretty much free to just continue firing the ball into their forwards putting a shit ton of pressure on our defenders.. hard to defend well and continue making good decisions when your out on your feet from relentless pressure/forward entries like that.

And we all saw the quality of the delivery from our midfield, when they did get the ball, into our forwards in that first half.. hard to be a forward when dealing with that garbage.

Club is appealing the Sloane ban.

Probably the right decision as it was very minor.

The big issue is Sloane is captain. He's not playing SANFL when he's captain

It’s very bad management. Always a real risk that his form would not justify selection this year, but they tied their own hands anyway.

Had a touch of the Chris Judds about it.

Just a weird one. What's he doing grappling around like that?

We'll appeal because of who it is. Need to save face. He'll get his one week regardless. Minor but a poor look.

 

[WetCrow1991]

you have to love crows Facebook supporters especially the elderly ones, if you even bring up captain courageous in a bad light they start swearing at ya, I think I’ll stick to bigfooty.

Reddit is the same. Apparently Sloane has been in great form over the last 4 seasons.

Injury Update: Round Two

The latest on McPherson, Laird and Seedsman

“Andrew came from the ground in the second quarter reporting some left hamstring awareness,” High Performance Manager Darren Burgess said.

I thought we could have left the term hamstring awareness with Burton and Hass out the door.

Difference being Burgo knows what he is doing.

I'll pay that yes.

Crows Pride Forum on Facebook is a similar type of atmosphere.

It's full of sycophants and backslappers who can't handle anyone being critical of the club or players.

 

[relapse]

It's also only McPherson too, given how he was playing in the opening half he wouldn't have been playing next week regardless.

Any of them mentioned they wish Mad Dog was still in the side yet?

Nah I left that group years ago.

There is no doubting that.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I think so too. He was dropping everything and not covering his opponent well.

Like 21 other blokes mind you.

Burgo has awareness of how to manage hamstring injuries....

We'll appeal because of who it is. Need to save face. He'll get his one week regardless. Minor but a poor look.

If you watch the real time footage, it's a split second where his hand is over his face and hard to even tell what happens. Looks bad in slo mo.

 

[StonesThrow]

We need to men in black that first half. All played bad minus Rowe.

 

[Gtowncrow]

That might be true if Berg was the preferred chop out ruck, but I don’t remember seeing him the centre once, and if he’s not doing that role then he’s not providing anything that Gollant can’t.


On the Sub, I think Pedlar needs consistent game time but I don’t like dropping debutants either, so I would wait one more week before swapping them.
I would say Cook for sub, but he needs consistent game time too. I would consider Harley for the sub.

Ben Davis would be an excellent sub. Proficient enough if needed. Versatile size and allows all the kids a game.

 

[Gtowncrow]

We lack someone that can play the Lynch role, so I'd love to have Cook back in

Is JD destined for this role? Seems perfect for it.

There's ways of being critical without referring to our players with words like "garbage", "shit" "rubbish" etc which some on here are prone to do.
