Review Good/Bad v Dead Rubber, Round 23

[Bicks]

Overused the ball horrendously, which is why the disposal numbers for the midfield were so inflated in a loss. I think the only player who really gave true value for his disposal count today was Seedsman, and maybe Smith.

Really need Greenwood back in, it's becoming clear that his inside work is the anchor for our clearance creativity.

LOL LOL LOL

Seedsman - 4 Contested Possessions - 22 Uncontested Possessions......
Smith - 3 Contested Possessions - 20 Uncontested Possessions.

I feel like I should know wtf you're talking about?

The Adelaide Crows.

You really are a joke of a poster.

Matt crouch was the only stand out but you'll never admit that

 

[Roovolution]

Seedsman was very average, to tell u the truth, he seems to be playing without confidence. Due to that he was second guessing himself, plus his tackling was awful

Seedsman and Hartigan need time at AFL level again to get used to it. They've both spent a lot of time out of the side.

I agree but Seedsman is application and effort

You just seem to be completely incapable of understanding the concept of context.

Full value for their possessions means that the results they obtained matched the amount of ball they had.

In contrast, players including Matt Crouch, Brad Crouch, Rory Atkins, Wayne Milera, Richard Douglas, Rory Laird, and even Rory Sloane obtained results beneath that which would be expected for the number of times they had the ball.

Stop being incredibly simple.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Whilst I don't care too much about losing it would have been better had we played better. Lots of players had no impact and it's not like we rested a heap of players.

Yeah true but a lot of it was because we were avoiding contests tackles diving marks and generally playing bruise free. They basically rested themselves. I'm ok with it. If we show any of that next game it'll be a disgrace though

you're the one that has a problem with context, bloody sight easier to use the ball well when you take it uncontested!!

Woosh

 

[Sanders]

Bad- our forward line without Tex.

This board has consistently underestimated his performances this year, and this game demonstrates the reason why. If he's not scoring, or setting up, a bulk of our goals from his play we struggle.

JJ still only got Barass as an opponent and was like a fish on land flapping pointlessly as the hit up forward

Tex does the heavy lifting so the forward line can function

The SEN ratings:

Luke BROWN – 5 Solid effort against LeCras despite not winning much of the ball.
Charlie CAMERON – 3 Quiet. Kicked one goal but got run down by Jetta late.
Brad CROUCH – 8 Won a massive 43 possessions and 10 clearances. Vital game.
Matt CROUCH – 8 Like his brother, dominated the midfield. Had 45 possessions and kicked one goal.
Richard DOUGLAS – 6 Had 16 touches in the first half and finished with 22
Kyle HARTIGAN – 8 Fantastic effort in some crucial contests against Kennedy. Kept him to one goal.
Sam JACOBS – 8 Dominated the ruck and his hit outs to advantage were telling.

Alex KEATH – 3 Not a great day defensively.
Jake KELLY – 4 Couldn’t control the Eagles key forwards.
Riley KNIGHT – 4 Quiet. Only 11 touches.
Rory LAIRD – 7 One of the key ball winners and a consistent performer all day.

David MACKAY – 5 Faded after half-time. Had 17 possessions.
Mitch MCGOVERN – 5 Kicked two goals but only had six disposals.
Wayne MILERA – 6 Had almost 350m gained from his 16 possessions. Gave the team run
Paul SEEDSMAN – 7 A big game with 25 posssessions and 1.2. But it was his 603m gained that proved telling.

Mitchell, Hurn and LeCras in their top 5. We let their grandpa brigade run riot today and it was embarassing.

Some mighty generous ratings there

Tex runs that forward line. Not only does he kick goals, he directs and creates play and sets up his team mates. He is a point forward in basketball terms. So critical to our set up and system.

 

[CrowBloke]

Sam JACOBS – 8 Dominated the ruck and his hit outs to advantage were telling.

Yep.
Also helps to explain 87 combined possessions from Crouch Bros.
They were often served the ball with Special Sauce.

 

[John Who]

This game was always a danger where:
1. We go real hard, win and maybe get an injury or two => Bigfooty Crows will go in meltdown.
2. We attack, but keep in reserve and preservation mode to circumvent injury, which means we'd likely lose => Bigfooty Crows will go in meltdown.

I honestly hope we all can chill and accept a dead rubber as nothing more than a dress rehearsal for who's to play in the QF.
Good: no injuries!
Bad: not sure if any outside mids have locked in their position, most of them were pretty sporadic and had their individual moments, but no standouts.
Oh, and the umpiring was shit! Did anyone had that inkling feeling in the first quarter that "here we go with the Umps again.."?

 

[Scorpus]

Jenkins gets a 0 but also a pass because he wasn't injured and clearly didn't bother

What about Cameron?
Has immense potential talent, with the emphasis on potential. Something's amiss with CC, not enough cheese on the chip lately.
Gotta be dropped vs GWS, surely?

 

[Murray2503]

Eddie Betts is a concern. His kicking for goal is now a problem. Cameron seems to be rubbing off on him.

 

[Glenno23]

Weirdest game i've watched in a while. Honestly couldn't give two flying hoots and it looks as though most of our boys didn't either

No injuries? Check. No Coleman for Kennedy. Check

 

[StonesThrow]

Very poor game. West coast really brought the heat but our disposal was awful. Terrible decision making. Not what you wanted going into finals. I expected to lose that but i wasn't expecting so many poor individual performances.

Matt crouch bog.
Sloane okay without being too influential
Brad crouch was okay but not very effective. Some rubbish kicks.

That was petty much it.

Defence was putrid. Keath had his worst game. So many loose numbers running around.

Forwards couldn't get near it. J Gov smashed us again. Jenkins horrible.

Betts struggling still. That's a worry.

Milera good early but was invisible after that. Needs to have more confidence in himself. Use your foot mate.

Everyone else poor.

 

[Golumless]

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...don't be so far ken silly Golumless

Good - No apparent injury
Bad -The umpiring was shit; but hey, so was last week
Ugly - Some passengers who didn't cement their spots. Atkins and Knight.

Both Atkins and Knight have cemented their spots. Its Seedsman v Mackay and I reckon Seedsman just won.

 

[Murray2503]

Both Atkins and Knight have cemented their spots. Its Seedsman v Mackay and I reckon Seedsman just won.

Not so sure. I think Atkins hasnt done himself any favours recently. Wouldnt be surprised that rat goes out possibly for seedsman.
