Analysis Good, Bad, Ugly, and Surprising vs Geelong

[Mutineer]

**** Big Footy Servers...**** Bad Gateway 502

 

[spenze]

Really liked some of Mchenrys efforts today, think it was in the first quarter and Geelong had the loose man all the way and Maccas has sprinted 100 metres to make the guy kicking into the F50 have some proper pressure on the disposal...and the Cats player coughed it up. Thought that was excellent by the kid and hopefully it's the standard by how we play from now on

 

[Damp Squarie]

Good:
That gang tackle by three crows in the first quarter with 6:08 on the clock - This set the scene beautifully.

- Im so happy he was picked on his great pre season form; and he didn't disappoint.
We found a way to win when we could easily have rolled over through fatigue and injury.
Pleasing result for the coaching group; it shows they have what it takes.
Does anyone else think we played the corridor more? We did and it paid off.

Bad:
Injuries.

Ugly:
The Danger bump; sure it was a clash of heads and unintentional...but
We all know he'll get off with a warning.

 

[skittlebrew]

Amazing
- We won!!!
- Grit, turns out we have it!

Good
- Moved the ball quick, no piss potting around
- Pressure was fantastic
- Texan best game in a long time, efficient, took a detour from cooked city and led from the front
- Our Talia successor exits and his name is BUTTS
- Jimmy didn't look out of place, 2 snags in his first game
- Berry loves a hug
- Hinge is a resilient bastard
- Danger might have rubbed out his Brownlow chances (deservedly so)
- Moose with some clutch tackles
- No Crouch no worries
- Frampton stood up
- Ned found the goals, enjoyed it and went again
- Lynch - no preseason? No worries
- McAdam took a nice grab and found a way to get back on the field when hurt

Bad
- Injuries
- Kellys KO - ouch

Ugly
- Horne situation maybe in doubt

 

[CH Jazz]

Good: Every bloody minute of it. Can’t put into words how meaningful that win is for the club and the young blokes.

Bad: Messy clean up. Jizzed my pants.

On the off chance the servers stay up long enough for me to post this - I agree!! How can they not know round 1 will crank up the server load and be ready for it??

straight after we kick a behind in the first quarter with 10:17 to go.

Dog.

 

[thebirdman 24]

Good
- Gang tackling pressure football. Loved it.
- We looked like a proper football team for the first time in 2 years
- Pretty much everyone was good. Even those that weren't great were playing wounded.
- Tex was sensational. Wound back the clock bigtime
- Keays was superb. Such a hard worker
- Murphy had a few great run down chases. His goal was excellent
- Mchenry showed more in 1 game than he did in the previous 9.
- Butts was fantastic. Hawkins got a couple of cheapies but I thought Butts won the duel
- Great debut from Rowe. I had to turn on the radio to listen to his dad after his goal. He reminds me of Porps minus the aerial threat

Bad
- Danger on Kelly. What a flog, unnecessary hit
- Injuries

So.... thats a “no” to Horne then?...

I am packing his bags as we speak.

Was a great win!

 

[StonesThrow]

Great win, I am rapt, totally unexpected.

Not having seen game (am in bush NSW), anyone worried that they outscored us 56-30 in second half, or was that the result of one-man-down and tiring from reduced rotations?
Anyone know where I'd be able to watch a replay tomorrow, please?

We were cooked. Lots of young players. Geelong stood up and took advantage. We held on which was quite amazing really.

 

[Johnny Rutten]

Wow. Just wow. So proud of the team today. Easily one of our best ever minor round wins. Very gutsy.

We've got a beauty in Berry, and Jimmy Rowe isn't shabby either. And, well done to the coaching team.

Imagine getting one injury and needing to bring in Josh Jenkins

. Yikes.

Berry didn’t look out of place.

In recent memory, Berry, Rowe, McPherson, Hamill and Sholl just walked in looking like they'd already played 50 games.

 

[StonesThrow]

That was a massive win. Totally unexpected. Played intense and aggressive footy for the WHOLE game.

Keays and Tex our best. I'll post more tomorrow but there's a bit to say about our selection, which for a young and rebuilding side, was important.

Our win broke the internet (or at least the BigFooty servers).

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Tell me that Amazon were making season 2 for of their documentary today

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Eddie, if I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now

 

[jbanger]

still waiting for the song and postmatch?

 

[Scorpus]

It was abundantly clear we are now being coached by AFL quality assistant coaches.

Our structures and plays were miles better than prior years

 

[Moonwatcher]

Almost wish a player had to serve his suspensions against the club that he has transgressed against. We lose our player and almost lose the match, but it's their next opponent that gets to play Geelong without Danger.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

But then you risk not being first

You can put that in later

 

[BRL121]

I only realised in the last quarter that Miers was playing! He normally reams us.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

still waiting for the song and postmatch?

5aa post game show had wrapped up before I even got back to the car

Yes, I cried

 

[Deaneus!]

Well that was fun

Home to watch the replay

 

[Diehard Saint]

Very popular win today, I reckon.
Well done. Very enjoyable game - even I got nervous towards the end!
