Game Day Game Day: Crows v Pear, Round 8 2024

[BACCS]

Nice to be the ultra efficient team again, Port smashing us in the middle

 

[BRL121]

The main problem was the pathetic attempts to clear the ball from defence at the end of that quarter. No composure.

 

[1990crow]

Laird blew his load against north lmao. Get him out of there isn’t even chasing

He's a liability against good mids.

 

[rocket18]

We should be 2 or 3 goals down giving the dominance around the ball.

They are killing us with the give and go at the stoppage.

After Laird beating up on the crippled kids last week, Nicks is all in with playing him in the middle again.

Lunacy.

 

[1990crow]

LDU or McCluggage an absolute necessity right now end of year. Can't compete currently.

Nice to be the ultra efficient team again, Port smashing us in the middle

Imagine if we had some high end mids....

 

[ams4crows]

Why do all our player get done for chopping of the arms but we never get those frees in our forward line

 

[whattagun07]

they are on top now. our efficiency forward made us look awesome. Bring it back to a somewhat normal game of footy, and we are back to second rate.
I hope we take some risks moving forward, especially from def 50. It seemed to open up if moved quick, but we are barely a cointoss at each contest at HB and each on the wing. seems to come straight back 75% of the time. Have to run it forward from the kickout, and hit a target in the centre square

 

[WetCrow1991]

Good quarter ruined in the final 3 mins…

They were on top for the whole 2nd half and we stopped taking risks.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

I'm amazed we're still in front but I'll take it at this point. Big 2nd quarter needed.

 

[1970crow]

Typical crows giving away a couple goals in junk time

What's the difference between the later minutes and those that preceded them?

 

[CrowToon]

Since we can't seem to turn long balls down the line out of D50 into anything other than another conceded 50 maybe we need to try something else.

 

[rocket18]

The main problem was the pathetic attempts to clear the ball from defence at the end of that quarter. No composure.

Is that you Nicksy?

You and Nicks would be the only people watching this and thinking our defence is the problem not our midfield brigade.

Who is LDU?

 

[AusTerran]

Saw the "T" card show on the side line, we slowed the game down and kick down the line. It was a clear plan.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Haven’t seen much of Curtin

 

[WetCrow1991]

To win we will need to take risks at every opportunity. Going long to ROB will only feed Port scoring shots, so may as well put it in front of the likes of Cook on the open side and try to create something dangerous. We aren't going to beat them with with numbers at the contest.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Why do all our player get done for chopping of the arms but we never get those frees in our forward line

We go for too many marks one handed

 

[WetCrow1991]

Saw the "T" card show on the side line, we slowed the game down and kick down the line. It was a clear plan.

And it is dumb as **** coaching that did Port a favour.

 

[ams4crows]

Butters gets his arms free so easily for the handball off and is a dead eye with hitting a running target

 

[1970crow]

Got smashed from half way of quarter.
Taking the ball away with ease.

We weren't on top early either, totally dined out on turnover and transition. But they were all over us.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Godamn that draft.

 

[rocket18]

9 to 20 i50

We'll get smashed if that keeps going, but its our defence

 

[MRB37]

Haven’t seen much of Curtin

He's largely playing the side of the ground we're not playing down.

 

[MsTopG]

Crouch too slow against horne francis.
