Analysis Good, Bad and Not Much Ugly

Laird 67
Dawson 78
Keays 70
Sloane 44

Pedlar 26

Rachele 7
Soligo 7

Yep sure are giving the kids a good run in the middle

The one thing is that Soligo and Rachele appear to have their midfield minutes managed. It looks like there is a distinct, pre meditated strategy with these two 2nd year players.

It seems that the club is very very in tune with their midfield minutes:

Sog: 39, 35, 18, 21, 23, 27, 32,34, 44, 15, 7

Rachele: 29,35, 53, 36, 58, 69, 21, 17, 9, 5, 7.

I can't fathom how that boundary umpire paid that mark to Fogarty. Would have been almost a meter over the line and he was right behind it

He was in row G!

He was in row G!

I thought he was in line for a beer

Good to know we would have won, even if the Lions kicked to expectation from their opportunities. VERY GOOD WIN.

Expected score
Crows 93 - Lions 90

Actual score
Crows 95 - Lions 78

Expected score vs. Actual score

It appears the club rates Pedlar

 

[feenix67]

And this is what everyone has been saying about NicksPyke - 1970crow has pointed out time and time and time and time again how Nicks reverts to the safe.

Yes games need to be won but surely we trust our kids more than a token appearance?

I'd agree if Berry and Schoenberg were missing out. None of the others you mention have the tank for more than cameos in midfield yet.

Someone should shoop Fog in the crowd

I rate him

 

[cleanhands]

How would Ben Brown manage his run up from there

 

[jamesclean]

WTF is that.

what? it grades each shot with a difficulty level, and then shows what score would be "expected" from the difficulty of each shot. Then compares it to the "actual" result. when you see a quarter like 1.9... you could attribute a win to luck, rather than defensive pressure etc... but this confirms our win, by showing that the Lions would still not have won if they had kicked to the standard of the shot difficulty.

TLDR: we still would have won if the Lions had kicked well

He was watching the line so didn't see it

In Melbourne

 

[StonesThrow]

For 5 minutes straight in the 3rd quarter they had the ball in their half (mostly i50).

6 i50s
7 boundary throw ins i50
4 points scored

Only 1 of those 4 points were easy chances.

I hope the players get around the defenders this week!

Get a full membership - get it taken out on monthly payments

Any games you CANT make apply for seat return and you should get a reduction or money back

The seat return is worthless at the moment as games aren't selling out, so no need to resell member seats for those that aren't going.

He was calling out on the full. It was the field umpire that overruled him and paid the mark!

And that is why I felt they never controlled the game after quarter time.

Statistically looked good, generating I50s, but the eye test said our defenders quelled their forward impact. Our defenders methodically controlled that space.


Apart from Charlie.

Agreed, if you were a Brisbane player that stint in yellow below must have been brutal. It would have taken so much energy to sustain that attack for such a prolonged amount of time. And to come out of it further behind.... Well, lets just say as a Crows fan, I've seen that quarter play out many times in the other direction, and its never fun!

[Bob Neil]

Who is McHendry?

He’s a favourite of Matthew Nick’s and he often links up with Scholl and Rashele through the midfield. Think he was mentored by Tahlia when he first came to the Crom.

Laird 10 votes is interesting, I assumed he would get votes but not the 5/5

Seems like a fair enough spread, although I didn’t think Neale or Bailey had that much influence

 

[Jack McKraken]

Age profile is far less relevant than many think. Out of the 9 games - 7 of the teams that won were younger in both Age and Average games.

Adelaide - 24.6 average age, 76.6 games v Brisbane - 26.10 average age, 132.6 games
Fremantle - 24.4 average age, 75.4 games Beat Melbourne - 26.1 years, 118.3 games
Port - 24.11 average age, 81.0 games Beat Richmond - 26.10 average age, 119.3 games
Gold Coast - 24.11 average age, 78.2 games beat Bulldogs - 26.1 average age, 102.7 games
Essendon - 24.11 average age, 79.5 games beat WC - 25.1 average age, 87.3 games
GWS - 24.11 average age, 74.9 games beat Geelong -26.11 average age, 120.3 games
Hawthorn - 24.1 average age, 67.2 games beat St.Kilda - 25.6 average age, 94.4 games

Counterpoint- it was a very strange round of football, where most favourites lost; so may not be the most reliable data.

Is there an average age by ladder position? That would be interesting to see
