Review Good, Bad, Keeping shape, keeping shat - Crows V Bombers

[brucetiki]

First thing that came to mind after Rachelle’s game Friday night

 

[MarcusP2]

We’ve had the rebuild … that’s finished

We finished it with a bunch of high draft picks last year that aren't even playing?

 

[Samcro24]

We’ve had the rebuild … that’s finished

It never even started

 

[BigBoSS_Riot]

As opposed to the trash that those in our LG put out each week?

Murphy, ROB, Smith and Milera wouldn't even get a game in a top eight side lol.

Murphy and O'Brien would probably get played at the Dogs, but that's more due to Beveridge being a loose unit at selection.

 

[George Kramer]

All good in theory, but supporters haven’t the patience to accept mistakes & judge the players accordingly

Also the mistakes made, which are usually defensive actions, and positioning … the ave supporter doesn’t see

We’ve had the rebuild … that’s finished

So Wayne given that you’ve said our rebuild is finished and you expected Nicks to coach us to finals this year, how do you explain the 1-5 start?

So, the fans will get angry at players for errors they don't notice

That just isn't true. I don't know about certain brigades of the fanbase, but I'm fairly certain that most on here (myself very much included) would rather see our younger players given a solid block of consecutive AFL games so that they can actually be assessed. They aren't on the list to be SANFL players only.

Our rebuild is nowhere near finished, regardless of what the club says. And irrespective of whether we're rebuilding or contending, we haven't even gotten close to the right mix of experience and youth.

Ironic that Wayne was a poster focusing on Nanks mistakes on Friday night

 

[DangerSloane]

Amazing how that wasn’t a problem last week when they moved the ball with speed

It was a problem for a lot of last week too.
It has been a problem for multiple seasons.

We simply miss easy targets far too often...way more often than any of the top teams.

 

[davos44]

Good:
Scoring accuracy.
Soligo, A shining light.
Dawson finally found some form.
Nankervis' best game.
Worrell can play and will only get better, if he can start to intercept mark more...

Bad:
Laird, Smith, McHenry, Gollant, Hamill, Sholl and Cook can't carry this team forward.

Fogarty needs to be traded for a fresh start. He either gets 0 support or runs to the wrong spot, for some reason kicking it on his head = 0% chance of winning a 1-1 contest. He never wins them. Its ridiculous.

Rachele probably had his best game before being unable to find a target from 70M out, spiking a ball that a normal player would be more inclined to mark and trying to slap the ball through for a goal. I am sure he will learn with the public scrutiny and KC getting all bent out of shape.

Any chance we can start a game without being 3-4 goals down? Seriously, its so hard to win when you are continually on the fightback path, we are a goal down in the first 2 minutes I think. The only game we have won so far is one where we weren't almost out of it.

 

[MRB37]

“We’ll go back and look at the week and look at maybe what we got wrong there,” Nicks said of the first term after Friday night’s three-point defeat left his side with a 1-5 win-loss record.
“At the moment it’s a hard one to put a finger on what that is, other than our opposition and giving them credit where it’s due.”

So Nicks says he makes changes before the game that would have an impact and then comes out and says he doesn't understand why we were so bad in the 1st quarter.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Dawson with 8 coaches votes, Soligo with 4. The way it works out, it looks like both coaches gave Soli votes

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Nicks trotting out the old "opposition were good" line just reinforces my opinion that we need to sack him asap. What does this bloke think he's getting paid to do exactly?

His job is to guard the bee fly.

He’s waiting to play the shit teams and preseason games amongst ourselves.

I've been trying to explain .....playing high level AFL is more than how many kicks & handballs you get .....it's the technical stuff that sorts the young hopefulls from experienced campaigners

Keen insight here once again from the Professor: “it’s the technical stuff”

 

[Sanders]

Calm down, Alex.

Nah. It’s just a cry for attention.

The rebuild is finished when the results say so

Otherwise, it keeps rolling on with new coaches and new administration

100% I mean where would we be without McHenry keeping our shape.

Thats not true at all. Many equate our list as full of teenagers with zero experience and give it a massive pass.

 

[Greenfinger]

Apart from a quick i50 to a tall one v one, something few defences can stop, I have full confidence in our backline.

Chiefly because of those three.


Worrell was brilliant last night as well.

We should be 0-6. We haven't looked better than anyone we've played.

How do you then explain most of our team have played under 50 games?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The main reason the opposition contine to be better than us is because we are being out coached!

Meanwhile Nicks still has nfi...

 

[BACCS]

We kicked 16.4 and had 18 marks inside 50 last week, how was it a problem for a ‘lot of last week too’? That looks like a blip unfortunately, but our ball movement and skills were good against Carlton.
