Jesus DMac! Sold him up the bloody creek!

****ing Mackay

****ing Mackay handball

Laird has really frustrated me in the last 12-18 months. When he first came onto the scene he was an animal. He had McHenry like tenacity and aggression, refused to give his opponent an inch of space and absolutely HATED being beaten.

Nowdays he just seagulls on the outside of the contest looking for cheap touches and his direct opponent runs riot.

Saw more of the same in his first hit out so nothings changed (early days tho)

Sure, but this has nothing to do with the fact he has hardly played today because is being managed for the bushfire game... so your original post was way off!

Classic Mackay. Taking care of his competition for spots one hospital handball at a time.

 

[Grooster24]

Hospital handpass and no option....
So shouldn't that be no prior opportunity....??

 

[NikkiNoo]

Milera tackled well after disposal and ignored once again.

 

[ams4crows]

piss off Mackay seriously just left Keays to rot there

 

[jenny61_99]

maybe just me but I have not seen any of this years top picks,

They’ll likely play in U23s next week.

 

[mistylake]

Nice handball Mackay

 

[NSWCROW]

I thought mackay got delisted ffs

 

[Firewalker]

A traditional welcome to the club from Dmac with his regular hospital handpass

 

[Murray2503]

Backline gonna be a lot better with Doedee and McAsey.

 

[Elite Crow]

Has anyone seen anything today to make them think that this is anything other than a low talent team?

I just don't see much reason to think there's much real upside.

Miles behind the better teams at this stage, will need our best 22 to be competitive but this year was always going to be about getting games into the kids who haven’t been exposed to AFL because we preferred has been oldies.

 

[mulz]

Dees just beating us up now

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Who were the 8 players we swapped out/in at half time?

Sloane & Laird swapped out.
McHenry & Keays swapped in.

Think we have gone 2/2, rather than 4/4

 

[ams4crows]

wheres the dangerous dumping tackle when it happens to us?

 

[skittlebrew]

I had high expectations of Gibbs recovering form this year. But he has been dismal.

The age reaper spares no one

Its amazing really, that a guy who's played the astounding number of games that he has still does this all the time: gets the ball, holds onto it too long and runs himself into trouble, realises hes about to get tackled and panic handballs to a guy standing still who he should have gone to way earlier.

Hard to garner much optimism for the season based on this. It's not even March and I'm deflated.

We've given him a full four quarters, whilst guys like McHenry who could benefit from the experience have been restricted to a half.

Never change Crows.

Were you ever inflated?

Our list is bad, this isnt a suprise.

 

[MRB37]

We've pretty much given this 100% to the younger brigade this quarter. ROB and the Ctouches out the middle.

 

[Firewalker]

Absolutely bullied in this second half, result doesn’t matter obviously but the way they’ve been brushed aside and just meekly gone through the motions exactly like they did many times last year the worry to now come out of this.

Half our best side are not playing this 2nd half.
