Review Good, Bad, f.U.G.L.Y. v Dees

[Golumless]

Fancy signing that spud Jenkins for 5 years at 600. Unforgivable.

Unfortunately you need a player like Jenkins being overpaid to break the fantasy about keeping players at all cost/valuing player retention over common sense.

 

[NTRabbit]

Too many entitled smug senior players who are gifted games by Pyke.

Too many list cloggers who are incapable of playing at a level required to displace them

 

[hey shorty]

And therein lies a big part of this clubs problems. Let's ignore this game as an aberration and get back to what we do best - overeating ourselves.

It's a tough spot. The very best sides of recent eras have spoken about not spending too much time on losses like this.

Teams like St Kilda, Carlton etc spend too much time analysing these things if you listen to their coaches.

It's a fine line.

 

[The Karma Bus]

Wtf? Talia just said on AA that you're never going to get back from 5 goals down that early. Wow.

 

[CrowinNT]

Ugly and Bad
This and BT
Woke up this morning and had a really bad feeling like I posted.
Then along comes one of our NT Greats Gilbert and his recognition of the tree where his family parked up.
When asked about who would win he said spiritually Melb but didn't really commit

Then all game I knew we were stuffed and BT turned into a tree hugger
A curator of all AFL desert grounds and a condescending lover of all things Indegenous

 

[hey shorty]

It's not something that can ever be known for certain, but Bryce Gibbs in 2017 was definitively better than every midfielder in the Crows bar Rory Sloane, and certainly better than every Richmond mid bar Dusty, it's absurd to suggest that inserting him at the expense of a bottom mid would not have impacted the outcome

So he was better than our BnF winner, and a fit brother of said BnF winner

Wrong again.

He would have made a tiny difference, but as we have seen, he's gone missing when it's tough.

 

[CrowBloke]

Today is not last year

Cryptic Post of the Year. It's only May, and you will win.
Also candidate for Tautology of the Year.

 

[Crow54]

I did not watch the game on TV today and I have no regrets with that decision.

I might not watch another Crows game for the rest of the season.

I start off watching, and can usually tell within the first five or so minutes how it's going to turn out.

Today I switched off after Melbourne kicked their third goal in those first few minutes. I could see the attitude and lack of effort from the Crows. I listened on the radio, and checked out BF. That way I didn't have to actually watch the pathetic performance.

 

[Swooping Crow]

Lynch looked like an old man out there. Not worth the coin he is demanding.

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

And therein lies a big part of this clubs problems. Let's ignore this game as an aberration and get back to what we do best - overeating ourselves and playing "nice" football.

Ignore the game.

Yes

But not what lead to it.

How much different would it be if mvgovern was paid the push in the back/ holding on that lead to collision with Douglas late in the showdown?

 

[jackster83]

Lynch looked like an old man out there. Not worth the coin he is demanding.

Looks like he's checked out mentally.

 

[Golumless]

Wrong again.

He would have made a tiny difference, but as we have seen, he's gone missing when it's tough.

Odds are he would have, seeing he'd be taking the 3rd/4th midfielder in a rotation.

He's gone missing when forced to play as a lone hand in a midfield, but if you give him the cover he'd be a damaging option.

[Roovolution]

Ugly - all the over the top melts on this board. Wait until we get our injured stars back.

 

[GreyCrow]

Yeah, but don't dare blame Jacobs who's an all-round good bloke .

Actually, that's probably unfair --- he is a good bloke, good-hearted, loyal, a gentleman.
But he was crap today and has been palming to oppo mids most of the year.

Just the kind of person who can be our next Ruck Coach

 

[Swooping Crow]

This is Mark Neeld levels of embarrassment. Heads need to roll!

 

[Tex200]

Needs to be a calming of the farm.

Last year Richmond lost to Saints by 67 points in R16

Lost to us by 76 points too.

Oh and we lost to North by 59.

That's the 2 GF sides.

 

[1970crow]

I really do. CEY is a state league player, and nothing more.

You're the worst judge of a midfielder on the planet.

 

[CrowBloke]

Do you think the percentage loss will hurt our chance at a flag this year?

125% down to 109% --- so, waddaya reckon?

To have a chance at the Flag, we'd need to finish Top 4 and 109% or thereabouts won't cut it.
Then we'd have to make the GF. At this point in time, I can't see it.
We're the Adelaide Crows, not Lazarus.

 

[Niximus]

Reached that point after the Collingwood game. Just found out the result and not at all surprised.

 

[Crow till I die]

Just my 2 bobs worth. A really bad day at the office where we were for whatever reasons not prepared to work as hard as melbourne. Put it in the memory bank and move on to the next game. This week's game will show how much the players hurt from the effort they put in today. We move on

just about right in my mind

 

[NTRabbit]

Yes, he absolutely was, and the constant overrating of those two players is what has crippled the club and broken the brains of the fanbase.

 

[CrowBloke]

I'm going number 5.

ALL of the above.

 

[pjcrows]

Will say it for the 65th time since the day - we needed to win it last year.
