Do you have more of where he came from?
You got that right.
I'm going to pretend that I haven't read someone trying to tell me that the Crows were out coached today.
today had very little to do with coaching.

The Good:
-Armstrong - This kid has a future.
-Walker - Disgrace that the Super Coach has had this guy running around in the SANFL. Well done champ. Looks like Craig didn't totally destroy your game.
-
The Bad/The Ugly:
-Vince - Seems to be a one year wonder. Shadow of last years player.
-Captain Goodwin - pfft.
-Cook - Terrible footballer. Were do we get these guys from. And whose brilliant idea is it for Cook to be third man up at stoppages which gives us one less player to clear the ball.
-Lack of heart from the majority of the playing group. Just seem to be going through the motions. Normally see this from teams where the coach has lost the players. No heart, no toughness, soft in mind and body.
-Schmidt - See Cook.
-Rutten - Truck by name, Hillman by nature. Looks disinterested. Future captain.
-Reilly - Another negative of keeping so many seniors on last year is that realy average players like Reilly will get another contract. Has zero aggression, then again so does his teammates, coaches, management, etc etc.

yeah but i'm sure those looks didn't have much to do with match ups.
on another note, Cook is looking good I can't believe the amount of doubters.

Hmmm 9 points. Just think. ...Stiffy, Knights, thompson, Mckay might just have made up the difference tonight.
Out of all of the sub-par performances tonight, Cook is one of the least deserving of criticism.
well, with Maric/Tippett getting owned by Goldstein, i don't see why not try it. i actually did see 1 hitout of Cook's go to the advantage of a Crow - i was so shocked!!!
vB is another that often jumps up as 3rd man up. even Dangerfield had a go at it today...and he actually got up pretty high.

Anthony, Adams, Warren, Campbell, McIntosh and Hale might have made the difference the other way too.
it was a faux 9 point game, the roos took their eye off it at 3/4 time. if the margin was smaller at the last change, the final margin would likely have been bigger.

Last year, I was yelling and screaming at the tv.this year I couldn't care less. I DO care though. Is it possible I have footy depression? Going thru motions etc? I sit on my comfy chair and refrain fro
the cracking of the shits. Why though?

Hopefully Sloane, McKay will come in for him next week. We are just treading water by continuing to play guys like Cook. List clogger.
Who??
...seriously though, give north their full list and give us our full list. I'd be backing the Crows.

not surprised. your posts haven't shown a great deal of insight in the last day or two.
Yet you haven't disagreed??

crazy talk. weve had enough games with enough of our list on the park to show this.
we have bigger issues.
No, yours is crazy talk. We've been unchanged once. Once. And Craig et al were criticised by the same people hunting and searching for issues that exist nowhere near as predominantly as touted. We have also used a huge number of players - unprecedented for the AFC. How can you even begin to think we've been at all settled?
One thing that frustrated me a lot last night is our use of the switch.
I'm a big fan of the tactic, but when the ball swings around and lands on a player on the opposite flank to where it originally was - that player has to then go forward, either run or kick!
I reckon that we switched sides with the ball about 10 times last night, only for the recieving player to stand there, and eventually have to go back and kick over the mark, wasting the opportunity, and defeating the purpose of the switch completely.
Just terrible.
