Analysis Good, Bad, Ugly, and Surprising vs Geelong

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

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.

Tom Morris actually mapped it out really well (!) at half time of the Essendon game. Showed how the rule had evolved over the years and showed some similar collisions/bumps.

Upshot was two weeks

Yeah saw that. Was actually good reporting for once.

Good to see Schoenberg lower the eyes today

Reckless abandon first round game. We got attrition out of it by 3.
Great win for the club and on field.
Way better win for the coaches.
The sneak look of gearing up for certain teams has shone through and the last game against wore hard. I like the coaching

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

Hamill

’s goal was awesome, he is depth, probably same with McHenry.
Remember this team was built to beat Geelong.
Next week there will be a different team

 

[hey shorty]

Any chance Rowe for RS ??

McHenry was very good.

Murphy I agree

 

[pjcrows]

Scott was asked at the presser why Dangerfield spent so much time up forward when the game was on the line.

"He can't play the whole game in the midfield, and also, he wants to play there"

That sounds familiar.

 

[GreyCrow]

Good

Effort
Pressure on the opposition
Structure held
Game plan
Butts
Berry
Walker found his other arm can lift
Knowing Stephen Rowe had tears in his eyes like we all did at the end
The crowd noise

The Bad
Disconnect between covid rules and seating.
Injuries

Ugly
Nothing

 

[Scorpus]

Any chance Rowe for RS ??

Will be lots of competition. Logan McDonald with 3 goals would be up there

I love reading some of you ugly pessimists eating humble pie.

Ned is more than depth player

That sounds familiar.

He also said he really values stability in the team...

 

[ams4crows]

Any chance Rowe for RS ??

Schoenberg surely! Rowe might be too old?

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

 

[Apsaalooke]

When he was coaching us Malcolm Blight used to say the season starts in round 2 - he was wrong

 

[Barneythecrab]

Any sad sacks on here need to put there hand up and say they were wrong about selection?

 

[GreyCrow]

The fantastic

Lachie Murphy has a shot on goal and misses from the boundary line point post pocket

He runs down the ground and makes a crucial tackle on Geelongs half forward line

Effort and commitment

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Good to see Schoenberg lower the eyes today

I thought in general that we did that well. Far fewer up and under kicks. We looked for options, when there wasn't one or we had no time, we hand balled. Was much better to watch and soooo much more effective. To the point that when someone did do an up and under kick (eg Butts panicked at one stage in Q4 and hoofed it away) it stood out like dog's balls for being different to how we were playing. Just seemed like there was some system and correct decision making today. The execution faded as we got tired but that's inevitable. Last year there were games with no good signs whatsoever.

I like him, probably, I saw him trip over himself. He’s gotta compose or it might be lost.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

The only bad apart from the injuries:

They've changed the score and time clock on the electronic scoreboard. Now have both up the top in microscopic text. Borderline unreadable from the Eastern Stand

 

[MRB37]

Any chance Rowe for RS ??

Too old.

 

[Crow till I die]

Funny, its almost like nicks deliberatly hid our game style in the preseason as we looked totally and utterly different out there. So much to unpack from the game but i like the line' all played well'
