Analysis Good, Bad, Ugly, and Surprising vs Geelong

[spenze]

Those two Tex goals in the 2nd quarter...after the hold up in play after Kelly was sniped off the play and the one where he kicked it after the siren...vintage Tex

- Hamill - Reckon he probably saved us conceding 5+ goals from his pressure acts and not giving up on contests. Lightening quick too.

Hamill is a weird one because I saw him bob up a fair bit today but despite this his stat sheet is pretty ugly. Doesn't matter though, if he had a low possession game but still contributed pressure off the ball, that's already a massive improvement on the brand of footy we've been producing as a club these last few years.

How good is Schoenberg's kicking ability into the forward line. That kick to Walker was sublime.

That's a bit stiff on Hamill he'll come along at his own pace and whilst he may not shoot the lights out, anyone complaining may end up with it all over their face

Yeah Hamill reminds me of Tregenza. He will be a v.good player for us and probably have a similar career.

I don't care too much for the stats as long as he continues to chase down opponents. He is blistering and the type that makes other teams nervous.

[Maddogmetro]

A positive sign in Nicks' presser.

Asked how many more games Tex will be getting for playing like that. Answer?

One more week.

No backing in the boys, no living off past success, you have to earn your spot in the side. Love it.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

And made sure we're again the big story in town

 

[Ah12]

Its amazing what ruthless intensity can do. Welldone guys... did not see that coming.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

So...No flag for Danger, bad luck mate, bad luck

no luck. he blew it.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Schoenberg surely! Rowe might be too old?

Sydney's McDonald has it in the bag if they win though

Gulden has to get the nom, huge game by him.

 

[Concussion test]

What a game, my kitten was purring during our second quarter goal fest.
Started convulsing during the third quarter onslaught.
Coughed up an almighty fur ball with 2 minutes to go and then was happily purring at the end.

Congratulations Adelaide Crows

fantastic win and i cannot believe how much i was cheering your team on in this game , Crows played a very good football style and won the game by continuing attack rather than trying to 'just hold on'

Well done

you can’t be ****ing serious

 

[WetCrow1991]

Yeah

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Loved the heart form the boys. Showed it a bit late last year and they came through after those demolishing losses to Port.

Better culture and the only way is up. Only slight concern is we need more talent, when you look at Port, Dogs and others up their their talent is frightening. Sydney as well look to have pulled a port 2018.

Draft this year looks good. Jimmy, Berry and can't wait for Thilt to develop.

nothing to say about Tex? That’s so unlike you

Havent seen that from him since pre GF. Played very well.

see, it helps when you open both eyes!

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Jenkins being shithouse makes it even sweeter.

My bank balance concurs.

 

[jackster83]

When Tex plays like that, everyone else walks taller.

Some seriously good chases and defensive efforts in there as well. Butts in the first half, Smith in the third term, Hamill's chase on Danger, Keays with repeat efforts, McPherson against Jenkins and the Murphy chase in the last term. That's what we've lacked for a long time.

 

[Peter Doherty]

All the talk was how could we contain Hawkins, when it ended up being, how could they contain Walker?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

One thing I noticed that was like "Finally!". Not taking possession when the ball is in the air and you have to leave your feet to grab it. Almost went like volleyball instead and tapped those to our teammates advantage which kept us in possession and moving the ball.

Took us ****ing ages to start doing this but I'm glad they're finally doing it. Teams like Richmond and the Bulldogs can tear teams apart with a well timed knock of the ball to a teammate out in space. With the frenetic pace footy is played at these days, sometimes not taking possession is the better option.
