Review Good/Bad/Ugly vs Hawthorn, R6 2023

We need to look at our midfield setups when Thilthorpe is rucking because his ruckwork is awful and the opposition win it too easily.

Not that ROB's is great either.

Plenty were talking up his tap work only 2 weeks ago, man this board is bipolar.

Power of the Fog: Crows snatch victory from plucky Hawks

A late Darcy Fogarty goal has snatched victory away from Hawthorn

Hawks' happy hunting ground no more
Hawthorn's dominance in Launceston is well documented, having won 55 of a possible 75 matches since 2001 at the venue now know as UTAS Stadium. But their ability to win there recently has persisted despite a lean few years for the Hawks. That's why Sunday afternoon's match loomed as a danger game for the Crows. Defeating the Hawks at their happy hunting ground stamps the Crows' credentials as real contenders.

 

[Ramses Red]

The poos and wees stay on the bottom of the ladder because we came from behind in the last couple minutes to beat the poos and wees by three football points.

The poos and wees belong at the bottom of the ladder like poos and wees in the toilet.

I don't like the poos and wees so the poos and wees losing is good.

Their colours are the colours of poos and wees.

Yet some want to persevere with him as a lead ruck...that's a solid No from me. He was very poor in every aspect of the game today that said.
Doesn't seem to get as much blowtorch when he has a very poor game compared with some of the whipping boys.

There was two tackles that should be looked at by the match review but weren't even paid free kicks. There was a spear tackle where our player was lifted and thrown into the ground, exactly what youre not supposed to do and I think we got paid holding the ball. It was in front of their goals. That's exactly what tex did all those years back that started the whole lift and throw down thing that brought the rule in. Reckon it mightve been Soligo who was the one tackled. His head hit the ground. He was holding it immediately.

The other was a sling of Murray into the ground. He was slow to get up too. That one was a play on.

There was also the Sicily charge into Hinge that would be looked at if it was us.

Good:
Tex kicking 4 allowing me to win a 10 year old bet with my port supporting brother. “Who will kick more goals, tredders or tex?”.

Stole that victory from the jaws of defeat

Terrible, terrible game

Only a couple of sides we’d beat playing like that.

Collingwood, Geelong, Saints, WB?

Can I have some of what you guys are having.

These things are underrated. The essence of football rivalry.

Club definitely needs to drill into the players what to do when you've kicked a goal to hit the front with 1.16 to go. When you get a free in the centre you do NOT do what Soligo did. You find the short option (And his teammates need to work to give him that option). You take time off the clock before you send the hail Mary forward. They would have known how long was left too, considering the runner went out after the goal.

A good learning experience for Soli and everyone.

PA game last year?

That was different - we were down all game and kept at it. This was one where we were up and then lost it. Most sides fold when that second goal to go 12 points down happens

Has all the tools and doesn’t know how to use them

True. 75secs is an "eternity" in modern footy tho.

Hawthorn, West Coast and maybe a few SANFL teams (but not all of them)

 

[pjcrows]

Anyone remember the internal trial? Blue Team was winning by heaps and at a random point in the third quarter, the coaches stopped play and said "Blue Team, pretend you're down by 10 points with 3 minutes left, set up and go and win it". That exact scenario played out today.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Dawson has the credits in the bank but * me, was he playing with a bar of soap out there? Fumbled absolutely everything.

He had an off day with plenty of others.

Today was the the day to move him out of the middle.

But we won without him having a major influence.

 

[FR0GGY]

So do I only need to watch the last 5 minutes?

Really looked way off. Reactions slow. Surely something off with him today. Not expecting 3 votes each week but yeesh.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Quintessential Crows game, except for the winning bit

Everything else was a carbon copy of how we've played under any sort of physical pressure for about the last 15 years

Nice that we found a way to win, bad that we had to

Big exception though... as yes, normally we would lose this game.

4 points is huge in the end.

I'm not saying chip it around for the whole minute. He needed to at least find 1 option shorter, maybe another after that before it goes forward. If you bomb it forward it needs to go deep into the pocket, not 40m out directly in front.

It's a learning opp. It didn't cost us today, but it might have.

Fair point.

No doubt but gee time goea slow when just in front late. Its like "siren," .. nope thats 8 seconds. Omg.

1) Exaggeration for effect. It's a persuasive technique and I don't regret it.

2) I see your position but I think it a little soft (not calling you soft, just the view) for robust debate. Happy to differ on views and you are absolutely free to downvote my contributions on the basis that you don't like them

1) "exaggeration", to make disparaging remarks about fellow supporters. I see no point, but am willing to agree to disagree. No biggie, peace.

2) fwiw, I gave your post a 'like' and agreed with your main point about the value of the win.
