Review Good/Bad/Ugly vs Hawthorn, R6 2023

[dogs105]

No he didn't. Had a sand wedge for a foot and a bunch of poor handballs.

Perhaps try it with the TV on next week.

Ugly win >>>>> ugly loss

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Take the 4 points and move on. We will not be beating Collingwood or Geelong in the next fortnight.

We were playing against a team that was still bottom despite second bottom having so many players out injured they ran out of top ups and had to call in a retired guy to make numbers in the reservies.

Their pressure and effort was still there nearly 4 quarters beside the last 5 minutes when we lifted ours.

 

[CrowToon]

Good:

We won a game where we:

• Didnt play well
• Under constant pressure
• In a losing position late in the game

ALL champion teams have to learn to do that.

To be clear I am not suggesting we are even close to a champion team but it's bloody good to be able to do that with a young and rising team.

If you can't see the value in a win like this you are beyond help (or new to the sport) a bit of a silly billy but in the least offensive way and I wish you a long and fruitful life irrespective of our differences of opinion and please know that I retain an affection for you as a fellow Crows supporter.

Bad:

Most players. Having to watch a game like that.

Ugly:

Mouthbreathers People that I strongly disagree with both in the content and intent of their posts in the comments potting our bottom 7 or 8 guys when our top 10 guys stunk it up.

 

[Multiballz]

Rory Sloane in the last quarter is the reason we won. Izak and Fog were the polish, Sloane was the player that refused to lose

He seems to be popping up with a quarter like that every game.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Used it beautifully in the first half

imagine watching that and then bagging soligo haha

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

those sort of games make a season

Against good teams they do, not against a rebuilding wooden spoon candidate

 

[ABAB]

Take the 4 points and move on. We will not be beating Collingwood or Geelong in the next fortnight.

We aren't even top 4 contenders yet so......

 

[Southerntakeover]

A fair bit of bedwetting in the gameday thread, but that would have to be one of the highest pressure games of the season so far, being able to come away with the 4 points is another step up for this group.

The true brave are the ones who wait until after the game to pop up to pretend they were totally stoic throughout.

 

[crows dude]

Sloaney fantastic in the last qtr.

 

[Bernie L]

Just ugh...

Terrible game of footy.

Let some of their no names look like champions.

 

[John Who]

Rory Sloane in the last quarter is the reason we won. Izak and Fog were the polish, Sloane was the player that refused to lose

I’m so glad he’s still showing some good form. A fit and firing Sloane is still needed to raise the bar for the younger lads.

 

[Bearded Clam]

A lot of really ordinary players returned to the norm after a 2 dimensional carlton made them look like millionaires

What was Soligo even thinking at the end? Gets a fortunate free kick after the centre bounce, we're 3 points up with 40 seconds to play, and instead of finding a short target sideways or back to wind down the clock he boots a high ball to a 15 player contest on our 50 arc. Mind numbingly stupid.

Who should he have kicked it sideways to Rabbit?..

All good to pot the young bloke but… did anyone present him with an easy option sideways?..

Can you give us a couple of names?…

 

[Scorpus]

It's important to remember this Hawthorn squad is designed to tank. It's one of the worst squads ever assembled and on top of that they were missing their best midfielder and their best tall forward.

We were full strength.

Getting away with a last minute win against this team is not in any way a good thing. It's a reality check. It's a wake up. We need to implement changes right now because we played diabolical football against a team that will be flat out trying to win even one more game this season

 

[Twist_of_Lemon]

We aren't even top 4 contenders yet so......

How dare you



Yes, I'm kidding

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Sloaney fantastic in the last qtr.

It was that sort of game

Lots of players had patches of good play. Very few (no one?) had a good game overall

 

[Multiballz]

Take the 4 points and move on. We will not be beating Collingwood or Geelong in the next fortnight.

Would almost be mission accomplished for the season if we did. But yeah, cant see it happening.

 

[jenny61_99]

I don't think Soligo was having a great game, I think he got a lot of ball and used it very poorly all game.

You are joking? Top 3 on the ground today in my books. Sloane 3 Tex 2 Soligo 1

 

[Moonwatcher]

Think we got the best of the umpiring

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Good: The cut to Nicks in the box after the siren went and he looked like we lost. At least he had the same disgust in what he saw?

 

[spenze]

No he didn't. Had a sand wedge for a foot and a bunch of poor handballs.

And you call him to chip it around instead... it would have been chopped off. I mean you're right, going long like we were 3 points down was an awful option

 

[Moonwatcher]

You are joking? Top 3 on the ground today in my books. Sloane 3 Tex 2 Soligo 1

He didn't say he wasn't in our best 3.

 

[NTRabbit]

He picked the absolute worst option available, it was incredibly stupid. He had more time available, and could have run around and drawn some players to make a free if there wasn't one behind him - and I'm sure there was given all the Hawks ran into our forward line.

 

[aabp1978]

We werent great all day..didnt deserve to win, I had totally written us off at 3/4 time, and then Rankine and that beautiful man Fog. Awesome win in the end…
