Analysis Good, Bad, Ugly, and Surprising vs Geelong

[BRL121]

It's hard to find too much negative after that stonking performance. If I had to be picky, I thought that O'Brien's performance was a bit off from normal.

 

[Dewy006]

Ben Keays might not be the most talented bloke out there every week, but **** me if he doesn’t put in 110% at every contest. Has been a brilliant pickup from the Lions.

Pick we got for Brad Crouch?

 

[adelaidecrows]

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.

The one benefit rebuilding the club from the ground up means a change of culture. For the last 30 years we would have rolled over. We never had the cultural belief to win games like that. We had a history of plan A with no plans B or C. The young guys and a new coach all of a sudden bring with it an enthusiasm that they believe. It's all changed. Long overdue.

man, how quick is Hamill?

 

[Moonwatcher]

We were genuinely a chance at top of the ladder at half time

 

[Sanders]

Well, what do you know...?

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?

It was more like two-and-a half-men-down in the rotations - Brown out, Kelly koed, McAdam restricted by his ankle, and Hinge popping his shoulder out at least twice. It did change the rotations as Smith and to a lesser extent Seedsman were forced to play deeper.

The pressure in the first half was extraordinary and Geelong should have come back given their experience.

 

[Shuestar13]

Brilliant!
I was only able to see the last quarter, but a great deal of grit and heart shown there, some fantastic individual efforts in the final
minutes.
What a brilliant “base” to build from, a win like that is just pure gold.

 

[MRB37]

Sholl and McHenry working hard.

 

[TRP1996]

Awesome. Just awesome.

The bad is really just the injuries, I think.

 

[Grooster24]

Need to watch the replay as I was at the game...but who did the chase down on Dangerfield?

 

[I_Was_There]

The Dangerfield hit, watching on replay is ugly. Chooses to bump, front on, Kelly had disposed of the ball and he could have pulled out, head contact, player concussed and will miss two weeks at least under new concussion rule. Anyone else = 2 or 3 games. Dangerfield/Geelong = Kelly reported.

Not sure he could've pulled out...it was very close even on slow replay. Bottom line is he chose to bump which resulted in high contact with head collision. You chose to bump you risk the head collision...simple.
But agree...2-3 weeks.

 

[Concussion test]

Using previous logic from the Match Review panel I think Kelly may get 3 weeks

 

[Moonwatcher]

Bigfooty doesn't want us celebrating!

 

[UcantCme]

Good
I haven't seen a crows side play with this heart and intent to tackle for many many years

Spectacular: Us winning causes the BigFooty servers to crash

 

[skittlebrew]

Spoiler

 

[UcantCme]

Not sure a round 1 win is eligible. Lots of upsets in round 1.

Are you serious

There is upsets in every round

It is what it is

A ****ing awesome win

I see it, but I don't believe it

Had a Nanna Nap after the game just woke up
Both my 2 x Maltese fluff balls bounced out of bed too
WTF just happened?

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Wht is with the shit BF servers????

 

[Scorpus]

So somehow we might have to fit EIGHT first round picks into this team if they are fit and performing

And Matt Crouch and Daniel Talia

 

[Grooster24]

How special was Rowe's first goal?
Loved it!

 

[ftmch]

A lot to like about Mitch Hinge. Had an immediate impact when he came on.
