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

[StonesThrow]

Take the emotion out of it.

I was at the game so maybe I missed a bit but also you get a good vantage point sometimes.

I don't know the stat, but we seemed to get trounced at loose ball gets from start to finish. Every contest the ball would spill loose and there would be essendon players surrounding it for a quick handball and clearance.

We got lucky that our defence is okay and that they also aren't very damaging going forward.

Our skills went back to the 4 first rounds.

Essendon applied very good pressure and we couldn't handle it. They were pretty good in this area.

Say all you like about the usual suspects, but Rachele was trash from what I witnessed. Good last week and went to water this week.

Soligo was probably our best with Dawson, but even he had some howlers early on in the game..

Sick of the low skill level. What the ****

Brayden Cook with 14m gained and one kick as a winger is a disgrace —> SANFL —> delist thanks

Cook is woeful. Soft as butter.

Nicks admitted in the press conference he changed our structure on purpose knowing it would hurt our scoring

Can't run defensively either. Obviously has skills but seems to lack heart and the fitness required.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I don’t understand how we play great footy last week where we weren’t scared to play the ball to the opposite this week….

The shape of water;

Water that you piss after a night on the booze

 

[StonesThrow]

Thought Nank was extremely costly for us tonight, multiple bad blunders that cost us goals. As you saw however he was finding the ball and trying, will learn from it and be better in time. I would persist and not make him the scape goat, there's others who should be out first.

Yeah he had a howler. Crucial dropped chest mark. I really like him though so he's got some credits

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Our high half forward ‘shape keepers’ are basically wingers in terms of positioning

They're not at all

They push into the stoppages if anything

We have no shape around the contest which make Nicks' shape comments so laughable

 

[I Lost My Keays]

In regards to Rachele, he had a shit game where he made mistakes. But there’s no way I’d drop him based on that, we’ve got to many passangers

 

[King Elvis]

Listening to the press conference - Nicks is deluded. We played well last week and needed to keep that momentum up?

We fell over the line last week because Carlton shot themselves in the foot.

Lost cause.

 

[Rotayjay]

Good: every loss brings Nicks' firing closer.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Good:

• Dawson: from about halfway through the second quarter, fumbled everything in the first quarter and a half
• Soligo: gun
• Hinge: lots of rebound. One braid fade at F50 in the last where he thought he was the only player on the field
• Max, Keane, Woz and even Borlase. Saved us from a 10 goal loss
• Tex: feel so sorry for him

Bad:

• Fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble
• Nank: I love him but some big errors from the kid. That dropped chest mark in particular
• Fumbling

Ugly:

• Ned: surprise, surprise
• Smith: this guy taking kick outs is murder for us. Constantly bombs to ROB in an outnumber and the ball comes straight back in
• ROB
• Rash: squibbed like I haven’t seen for so long. Depressing to realise
• Sholl: my 10 year old undersized daughter would out muscle him
• Laird: blind bombs
• Fog: far out

Narrator: they did not play well last week.

 

[FR0GGY]

Can we just get rid of him before players lose all flair and confidence.

Serious?

 

[rocket18]

Nicks Presser:
"we will look into why we were off in the first half"
"we'll look back over the week to see what we did wrong"
"can we talk about the last 5 minutes, with a bit of luck we fall across the line"
"we want to be careful about picking out individuals, its a team thing we got wrong tonight"

The mans a walking imbecile.

 

[VictorianCrow85]

Just the insane selfishness of Smith to put his hand up to play tonight, and the absolutely pissweak coaching panel that let him - forget about the gameplan being a disaster, that in itself speaks to massive cultural problems in the AFC, and the results reinforce that.

Absolutely this, he could barely move in that first quarter. Just insane we haven't learned about playing injured guys after all these years.

What scoring

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Kept us in the game in the first half

Dare you to watch it again. The first quarter and a half we were in big trouble and he was fumbling as bad as anyone. From second half of second quarter he lit it up.

In the offseason?

 

[Slippery Pete]

Rachelle can either stink it up or he can have that f*cking haircut.

But not both. Not on my watch!

 

[VictorianCrow85]

Yeah he had a howler. Crucial dropped chest mark. I really like him though so he's got some credits

Also spoiling right back into the centre of Essendons attacking 50 when we have the slowest guy ever in Borlase as the last guy. Cost us another goal. Rookie mistakes but that's OK, he'll learn from that. Sucks given how close the night was and that we could have stolen a win but we didn't deserve anyway.

 

[Scorpus]

Serious?

Yes.

He said we changed our structure before the game but that this structural change (whatever it was) would (and did) take away our scoring ability which made it harder

 

[ssj3Pretz]

Bad - Nicks probably takes this as a win due to the missed free in the end, and thinks his selections and game plan were right.

 

[Scorpus]

In the offseason?
