Analysis Good, Bad, Ugly v Port Adelaide Round 8 2021

[Footypie32]

Our clearance tactics at the moment seem to be simply: win ball, handball to under pressure team mate, handball to under pressure team mate, handball to under pressure team mate, hack kick forward... Hope.

They changed in to the prison bars to sing the song.

That actually happened.

Wharf pylons, don’t feed the idiots

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Have we seen enough of Mackay yet?

Like ******* seriously?

When DBJ smothered Mackay's shot at goal it was like a talent black hole

Bullshit

I hate losing to Port Adelaide, regardless of ladder position. Hate it.

Good:
Very little.
Seedsman, Brown played well.
Thilthorpe can hold his head up.

Bad:
So much, I hardly know where to start.
Crows played schoolboy-style footy ie get ball/kick ball. I lost track of the number of times that our blokes took possession, wheeled around and hook-kicked the ball around their body blindly.
Absolutely blindly *tears hair*.
So many basic skill errors from tentative, hang-back uncertainty.
So many passengers, ineffective disposals.
PA-intercept marks in their D50 (several from bad kicks to PA chests).

Ugly:
Lycett dumping MCHenry. Deliberate, mongrel act.

 

[Redline]

The only highlight from tonight was the guy running on the ground at half time. Port were okay and we were uncompetitive. That was early season 2020 like. No positives from tonight.

 

[MJ2611]

Was fine all round.

Piss poor ROB watching one of his best mates get KO'd by his direct opponent and not even a yelp.

FOG was the only one to go at Lycett.

Good
Butts not bad for a 10 gamer.
Laird good but doesnt look up enough when kicking though
Sloane
Rowe better
Shoenberg
Seeds had a good year
Fog - low stats but good presence in the middle


Bad
Injuries
Port. lol they are ass, top teams will wipe them.
Walker - played worse than his epic 2017 GF

Not sure about Rowe assessment

What actually happened there? The TV viewers were kept in the dark...

 

[crowker]

The Good - The effort

The Bad - we are in desparate need of 3 key postions, a big bodied backman and an elite midfielder and a goal sneak

The Ugly - Kicking , it's been an issue for years and probably the difference tonight

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

We can't do anything when we win the ball at a clearance. High, rushed snap forward which we can't mark or crumb

We're better off losing the clearances

 

[Redline]

Good: Fog
Bad: Making Marshall look AFL standard

Your point on Marshall is amusing buy very true. We made some of their duds look decent.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Not sure about Rowe assessment

Been invisible past few weeks, got involved a bit more.

Not sure about Rowe assessment

I think played alright.

 

[Murray2503]

The ugly for me is that our list is so shit. How did the club allow it to happen? Supporters deserve an explanation and how they are going to fix it.

I watched the sanfl today and Worrell and O'Connor deserve to be playing Nick's.

 

[Dogga]

The scoreboard blew out but it was always on the cards. Hate to mention the umps but we were torched, particularly in the first half.

Those bagging Nicks need to get a grip, the effort was great. You can't be a shit coach and generate that level of effort.

Butts as the only KPD needs to stop though. Now. The structure is all wrong down back, McAsey or Murray need to play.

Laird, Butts, Seedsman, Brown, Keays, Harry all good. Riley coulda kicked 3 in 10 minutes in the 3rd, love him.

McPherson confidence is shot, needs a spell. Hamill didnt look right.

Tex was 2020 levels of hot garbage. Dmac and Kelly...yeah they're experienced but we need to move on. And Lycett should cop the Neal-Bullen treatment the grub.

Big improvement on last week, but not sure where the next win comes from but in a rebuild year that shouldnt really matter.

Bad
Played four tall forwards and still got killed in the air across half forward

 

[Dewy006]

I love that the bar set for Fog has changed from getting the ball and kicking goals, to merely just walking onto the field and being a “presence”.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Would have loved Thilthorpe to clunk those two pack grabs in the 4th. Nearly held them. Won't be long

 

[Kezza86]

Been invisible past few weeks, got involved a bit more.

He pushed up more tonight compared to previous weeks.

 

[Redline]

What actually happened there? The TV viewers were kept in the dark...

He ran on the ground but didn't give up much of fight. He ran towards the security guard and was tackled. I was expecting him to goose step around him.

 

[pjcrows]

The ugly for me is that our list is so sh*t. How did the club allow it to happen? Supporters deserve an explanation and how they are going to fix it.

Jesus Christ, welcome to 2019.

Pretty good tackle by the security guard. Better than some of our players

 

[slingy55]

How many first quarter concussions before the AFL brings in a yellow card red card rule? Sure Lycett was garbage all night, but one less sub for Port would have evened things up. Stupid shit should be punished at the time, not next week. Take away the stupid goal review and replace it with concussion review. We were lucky to get past Geelong, but it's now cost us twice this season.

Do we know how bad Murphy's ankle is?
