Good
Everyone.
Bad
I thought the umpiring was shit.
Ugly
Cockchin

Even though we were like 20+ in frees?

 

[LeftyLuke]

Very good 4 quarter performance.

Good

Walker, Berg, McAdam, Keays, Dawson, Laird, Smith, Doedee, Cook, Rachele

Bad
Frampton Crouch Brown

Ugly
ROB's field kicking
Missing short passes in our backline
Fumbles
Sloane's injury.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Himmelberg’s turn around has been borderline unbelievable, maybe it’s finally clicked.

 

[Time for a pint!]

Good - the port board complaining about frees, Tex and the idea we might be getting better.

They're unbelievably salty over there.

Put Frampton in the bin. Everyone else played great. Good team win.

Hard marker, sure he had a couple of fumbles but his good far far outweighed his bad.

22 Disposals, 18 kicks, 4 handballs, 9 Marks, 535m gained, 6 intercepts, 2 score involvements, 76.9% Disposal efficiency, 100% time on ground.

The time it takes for ball to go from hand to foot is eternity. I get nervous every time he kicks it.

That surprises me.
They were all there though

 

[missionpossible]

The best thing for me was cooks decision making and composure in close

That really stood out today. The first time I have seen him look comfortable at the level.

With time going to be a good CHB

I hope it was a steaming turd.

The overall free kick count is meaningless, people shouldn't obsess over it so much. Anyone watching the game could see some absolute howlers to the benefit of Richmond - at least 2 which directly resulted in goals. There may have been a howler or two favouring the Crows as well, I suppose...

Great to see Tex fire up again.

Yes, he's showing terrific signs of being a good AFL player now:
--- 2 contested marks for goals, one of which he booted 65m. . His brick hands have turned into sticky gloves, well, almost.
--- contesting hard, not going to ground
--- terrific ball-grab and tight-angled snap in Q3.

I'd been an outspoken critic of EH; never been happier to be wrong.

Not just playing well, but influencing games, HUZZAH!!

 

[WAG]

Was calling for it all week and so glad we kept Cook in

He really showed energy and competitiveness against Essendon and glad to see him get reward tonight

Agree with his energy and competitiveness, but beyond that he showed real poise under pressure - which is even more exciting imo.

Don't think we can play both of them can we? Unless tt can play majority ruck?

 

[marvin]

Remember we can’t mention home ground advantage anywhere near Hardwick. It upsets the poor fella

 

[Jinglebells32]

Put Frampton in the bin. Everyone else played great. Good team win.

22 possessions 9 marks at 77% efficiency. He had his best game at AFL level.

 

[bigman]

Fantastic fighting win!!
How’d you like that Mrs Hardwick?

Divorced

You can't believe that.

Accidentally? Your fingers stumbled on the keys and next minute theres a post on the Port Board?

I mean it is an extraordinarily low bar...

 

[CrowBloke]

Put Frampton in the bin. Everyone else played great. Good team win.

What troubled me most --- his repeated fumbling. Gets 2 hands to the ball, fumbles it often, even on handball receives.

He should be told NEVER to short-pass the ball. Never. He just can't do it with any precision/confidence. ROB as well.

Frampton just looks like he doesn't know what to do creatively with the ball. If I had to guess, it's self-doubt.

I think that’s what he’s got always Re the poise and composure and skill

And the competitiveness is what he’s working on and he’s doing a great job with that
