Review Good, Bad, Ugly v Collingwood

[Jeffcrowe]

Yep.

We've got the talent but we lack the system in there atm (or at least the execution of that system). Was really noticeable yesterday - seemed to be every man for himself.

This is what maybe disappoints me most

An area of high talent where we didn’t get best out of ourselves

 

[CrowBloke]

You go ahead and misinterpret my post so you can throw your toys out of the cot, couldn't give a sh**

You're hilarious, well, in a pathetic way. You certainly give enough of a shit to defend yourself, .

Please look at your cringey, 'like'-bait original post.
You said:
""you should have walloped us today" .... "we were terrible"".
That means the Crows were beaten by a side that was terrible; Collingwood was crap, but the Crows were crapper,
right?

Animosity aside, how is that a compliment to us?

You obviously didn't read all of the post. Let it go mate.

That was definitely one of the toughest losses I’ve attended.

Just on Rachelle, he was absolutely nailing every kick in warm up so it’s frustrating to see him butcher it in the game.

Clearances need a lot of work, it was torture towards the end of the game to just watch the ball waltz out of the centre.

 

[dblstR]

Frampton did his job well I thought.

Completely nullified Tex in our forward 50 ruck contests, kicked a handy goal and provided a contest to ROB. Thought he was decent, and thought it was completely cringe anyone booed him other than his shot at goal. It’s not like he was getting games here and ****ed us over. And trust me I will boo some players to oblivion, Billy didn’t deserve it.

Tbf it was pretty tame as far as booing goes.

I think people were booing the booers for their substandard booing.

 

[CrowBloke]

Well that post aged well - Milera an “A” grader?

Well, ... yes.

SHOC, PAOC, Kilburn would take him, to name a few ...

 

[dani_giuls]

In fairness Tex did that .. when he shouldn't have.

And even if he had a kick and missed - we couldv'e ended up with a draw!!

Pull your head in peanut, not the first time you’re going down “happy with life” path with posters.

Tell me, what exactly have I said about this loss that wasn’t justified?

I am now going to do what someone else honestly told me when I started posting regularly on this board…which is to IGNORE yourself (amongst others) for a better experience.

So that’s it old mate.

Goodbye, from your forever peanut

Don't really care what odds you're offering.

Looking at the remaining fixture, I can see us finishing on 9 wins, which is an improvement if only marginal.

The games against St Kilda, Bulldogs (away), GC (away) and Essendon (away) will tell us if we've improved.

Ok thanks , so we are improving now after all.

I would be surprised if we won more than 2 of those 4.

That's it? That's your final retort? I didn't "read all of the post"?
That's the problem: I did and nearly gagged.

What you don't like is being taken to task for posting cringey "Aww-gee-bad-luck-your-team-played-so-well-and-we-were-so-terrible"
'like'-attractant.

Tell you what --- go back to your Board and put in your original post, verbatim, that you made in our Board.
I can do it, if you prefer?
Link me in; I'd love to read your comrades' responses.

Didn’t deserve the boos but he is barely afl standard

Fans are treating him as if he’s been plucked from amateur footy in mid season draft or something

We are talking about a guy who got drafted about 7 years ago as a ruck

getting slaps on back because players around him are very very good

I will say that for a high IQ guy off the field it was crazy how long it took ROB to work out how shallow the boundary throw ins were …… I’m not sure he’s even worked it out yet

 

[El Doederino]

I'm not saying the umpiring was great yesterday, but the outrage over De Goey's deliberate out of bounds is ridiculous.

It was Sidebottom that cleared the ball towards the area where the player was leaving the field. If De Goey had a clean possession, would he have stopped? Hell no. Why did he even kick it off the ground if he was so concerned about the player leaving the ground.

That one was deliberate all day long.

The other one was Moore's foul on Pedlar. Moore was stationery and Pedlar swooped in front of the marking position. Moore chopped his arms. Always a free.

But yeah, I have no comment on the Fogerty spoil and Johnson high in the goal square. Those 2 were howlers.

A better experience, you should post in my positive thread, oops, you won’t be able to see it

A couple of things.

Would have loved to have seen one of the talls subbed and Murray go forward. The only bloke on the park who could have caused Moore problems.

Would have loved to have heard Nicks at the presser, when asked about our goalkicking, front up and say its unprofessional and unacceptable, instead of brushing it. Club pays a fair bit of salary to professional footballers who should be able to kick goals I could kick. They needed to be called out and held accountable.

 

[CrowBloke]

I have concerns about some negative interactions between players when kicks don’t go right etc. it currently seems a bit off.

Yeah, it's not a good look, is it?
The best reaction is when a player kicks a good goal and is congratulated by a mob of happy teammates.

Rachele, on the other hand, loves to go for a run, tongue and arms out, knowing he's on camera. Reminds me of Soccer players who go for a FIGJAM sprint, dodging teammates on the way, after scoring.
Somebody mentioned Akermanis' handstand after a win. After .

I like a bit of flair, but Rachele needs to realise that the ball is often set up for him by the good work of teammates. If he's gonna go for a run, it should be to teammates who helped him out.

 

[DJ75]

Good:

We yet again had more (or only slightly less) scoring shots than our opponents. I haven't looked at the stats, but I think we're probably doing OK on the I50 count and scores per I50, also. This is a good thing.

We matched or outplayed Collingwood for most of the game. Our ball movement was mostly very good to excellent. Our pressure, also.

Bad/Ugly:

The way we failed to stem the tide (heck, it wasn't even a very strong tide) in the last quarter.

Goal kicking, obvs.

I'm prepared to overlook the occasional game of poor goal kicking, it happens to the best of teams; but this is becoming a trend, not an event. I have no idea what the coaches are supposed to do about this, to be honest. Maybe it's more a job for the club psych.

One of the big issues is that we stopped running and presenting. We tried to lock down and just turn it into a contest after contest game - with an 8 point lead and plenty of time left, in a game where we were being destroyed in the clearances.
Not a particularly smart move was it?

We spent the last 10 minutes kicking long to the same contest on the right hand wing and wondering why they were able to line up and run through us with repeat entries.

We needed our guys to keep presenting the short kick options. We just didn't do it. Was that fatigue? Instruction? Or being too scared?

Tex and Murphy both had arms in air "what about me" monents.

Keays didnt from.what I saw, even being passed up several times.

Our guys need to understand it's about TEAM not them.
Celebrate the team achievement, not yourself.

Ah yes, I forgot; it's all about you, isn't it, even when it's not?
Bring it back to you and your unfair victimisation.

Think long and hard about your posting and how many have disagreed with you, then consider this:
Raylan Givens Justified — 'If you run into an arseh*le in the morning, you ran into an arseh*le. If you run into assholes all day, you're the arseh*le.'

Keays certainly let Rankine know he was clear after the running-attempt that Rankine missed.
Fair enough, too.

I have no doubt this would be addressed behind closed doors - well I bloody well hope so - but it’s rare for coaches to “hang players out to dry” publicly and is certainly not Nicks style
