Game Day Crows v Dogs

[ruscy002]

STILL hunched over after singing the song, surely off to hospital for a checkup!!!???

 

[TARANTULA]

How long can Reilly and Jaensch survive in out back line before we make the call. It just happens far too much to ignore.

 

[DD#23]

Missed the play. It was a straight handball to betts?

he read it from a mile away, positioned himself well, and jumped to cut it off.

but it was pretty easy for Eddie really.

P.S. is it just me or does the song always sound weak as piss?

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

He said "today" twice.

Earth shattering stuff.

 

[CrowAboutIt]

Sure I was impressed in the first 3 too, but im specifically referring to the last quarter, he may well be injured, but if thats the case he cant be out there as we're effectively a man down defensively, not sure what the clearance stats were in the last but we got pantsed, and I counted at least 3 times Dangers direct opponent got the clearance due to Danger unable to tackle and/or chase.

Ok im not sure what the case was.. maybe the sub was already made or they thought an injured danger would provide more than Shaw.. and I wouldnt doubt that lol

 

[Dewy006]

That doesn't make him not a worthy captain though does it?

He had 29 possessions 22 contested and 7 tackles and kept us in the game in the first. He was a star and the fact he played injured is the coaches fault not a slur on Danger.

Sloane had a great last qtr but had 19 and besides the last didn't do a lot.

Thats true and it was probably hyperbole on my part to claim him not Captain material, I just feel when the chips are down Sloaney is our guy, in any case we are blessed to have 2 guys worthy of the C.

 

[jenny61_99]

How many in the last 3 minutes with no one between the goal kicker and the goals?

How about the 14 we missed throughout the game?

No passion.. need tex

Looks like busted ribs?

Reilly out for Lyons and move Jeanch to the wing IMO.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Earth shattering stuff.

I guess you don't listen to him commentate very often.

 

[JP Sauce]

Would've thought the players would've sang the song with a bit more gusto after holding on like that.

Really? That was a crap win and the song had the enthusiasm I hoped for. Glad the players didn't get carried away.

 

[jenny61_99]

Adelaide Oval is the Power Portress? Really?

 

[The Karma Bus]

And if he hadnt been the best player on the ground in the first three quarters we wouldn t have been close enough to win

And he still did some good things in the last quarter..
It's not like he was being shown up or anything..

 

[arrowman]

OK, I know no-one here really cares - but I just have to say it out loud. It was my birthday today (it's Saturday here), I did a winery tasting and then drove up the coast to have lobster and Margarita for $16, then "watched" a Crows win with the help of Big Footy.

Mucho bueno.

Thanks to everyone here (and the 5AA stream, and the AFL website) for making the evening. I've never internetted a game before and apart from sore thumb it worked quite nicely, thank you.

Watching a game day thread on Big Footy is scarily like looking inside my own head during a game

 

[Wright Away]

Flogscray may have had two posters in the 4th, but it was the Crows effort that got us back in the game and in a position to win it. The Bullflogs are Adelaide's bogey side and to win at Ethiad with the roof open to go 3-3 is pretty good if you ask me. Take the win and look forward to next week.

 

[sbenno]

We keep hearing sando talk about 'controlling the game'. I sometimes get the impression the slow downs are very deliberate attempts to prevent the opposition building any momentum. If so, please more foot on throat sando!

You're probably on the money. Stuff "tempo football", need to keep the pedal to the metal.

 

[hey shorty]

All he needs to do, is do that against Collingwood in 3 weeks.

You don't sound very confident he can do it as you have now had a few chances to agree or to just say - wait and see.

He will have some extra help you would imagine. Think he has done all that has been asked of him so far.

 

[brucetiki]

Agree that the game itself was crap, but for once we didn't get completely overran in the last quarter. I would've thought that would've been worth a somewhat less forced rendition of the song.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Reckon danger is injured.

Been injured since cats game.

Hopefully getting better not worse!

 

[ruscy002]

Looks like busted ribs?

Probably, I'm particularly worried about the coughing and heaving.

 

[Dewy006]

Also not to harp on the negatives as it was a gutsy win, bit I think today showed exactly why we all think Matty J is not a long term option in defense, I'll be the first to admit he has been solid the first few games but his defensive diffeciences were on show for everyone to see today, was I the only one begging for them to put someone else on Dalhaus in the last?

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

How about the 14 we missed throughout the game?

I'm guess your missing the point of a 'lucky victory'

 

[ltdamn]

Earth shattering stuff.

You just feel, like the dam will burst and he might get one right in a minute. Can the other commentators respond?

 

[Justinpa1]

A great win by the boys, after a terrible first 40 minutes (down 11-39) we took over and completely dominated the dogs for the next 60 minutes (won 53-3). And after falling behind half way thru the last qtr we came back and held off the dogs (they were always going to lift in the last quarter).

This is a very important win that will set up our season. For me our best were Jenkins, Pods and Sloane.
