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

[CrowBloke]

Nicks sucks but he loves beating Port.

Nicks sucks but I LOOOVE beating Port.

What a champion young fella Jake comes across as and on the back of his few words , I take back my questioning of the new psychologist Rosie. It was a rotten performance in the first few rounds and who knows why the need to reinvent the wheel was even an option.Great to see a few positive signs, though the midfield issue is still an issue (albeit up a against one of the best).

Was great watching Butters & Rozee burst through the stoppage, run a semi-circle then do a wild high loopy kick into the air over and over. When real pressure is on, they go to butter.

Butters had nil impact tonight.

32 possessions no hurt factor.

They let through 20 scoring shots.

23.

And PA kicked 5.18 because of the pressure our backs put on them.
Credit where it's due, c'mon.

Will be interesting to see how Kane Cornes reacts to this result.

He can’t keep defending his best mate Kern…especially now that Kern has admitted that playing Rozee was his call….

 

[WeeBlake]

Wow Ken really taking it on the chin

 

[chazwazza]

I don’t understand how the Showdown final isn’t counted in the head to head tally. Surely it should be.
29-27

No real mention or credit to Adelaide though...he's useless...Anyone see Carr up in the box...the real coach?

Port’s third lowest score in a showdown…

FMD some supporters are never happy.

I love the young players we have back there. Port's complete domination around the ball put our defence under the pump though. Port missed plenty of easy shots at goal.

Yep...and it's an-ex Port player who's coaching them - makes it even sweeter! Worrell, Keane and Michalanney were excellent all night.

We were not far away from keeping port to no goals in a half for either the first or second time ever.

Quarter for the 2nd time.

 

[FR0GGY]

Quarter for the 2nd time.

Consecutive quarters though was the stat

It is counted. The reason we are back to an odd number after one showdown this year is there was only one showdown in 2020. All 3 in 2005 are counted

 

[ams4crows]

So did Rozee actually do his hammy or was it a precautionary sub?

 

[Barishnakopf]

I remember some Port idiot years ago saying we'd never get back in front in the ledger. Well...

 

[Moonwatcher]

Funny how Port only kicked 2 goals after quarter time and looked a chance to win the game with 8 minutes to go.

 

[NSolis]

So did Rozee actually do his hammy or was it a precautionary sub?

Hinkley said he was subbed because he was unable to get to full pace and was reluctant to kick. Suspect he's just feeling the effects of the minor hammy he did last week and shouldn't have played.

 

[GreyCrow]

Wrong quote ams4crows

He did something. Tried to get on the bike and winced and struggled to lift his left leg

Could even be a back issue rather than hammy

 

[Danger in Texas]

So did Rozee actually do his hammy or was it a precautionary sub?

Sounds like he’s missing next week

Covid year was only one Showdown. 28 to 27 is correct

 

[AFCCroweater]

We have much better structure than Port.

5.18 is a product of just banging into the forward line with no movement at all.

Compared to our movement.

And that defensive structure.


Nicks outclassed Carr tonight

I thought Carr coaches when they win and Kenny coaches when they lose?

 

[rabidcrow]

Yeah agree, for me it’s the gameplan. If we play the chipping defensive garbage I feel we will lose irrespective of our quality.
We have some great players that are being hamstrung by Nicks. Also some crap players being picked by Nicks

I think Nicks game plan stood up well. Port have a clear class advantage in the middle and we overcame that and had a solid win - credit where it’s due
