Review Good/Bad vs Collingwood

[Scorpus]

Nice fair umpiring we copped there

 

[Rotayjay]

Bloody bull shit. Losing to Collingwood by less than a goal, two games in a row, when we should have won. Being a Crows supporter is extremely painful sometimes. Blue balls R us.

Also the umpiring was highly predictable. Every 50-50 goes the Victorian side's way.

 

[secondary]

We're good enough.

 

[MrBarry]

Would have been nice to play some more of our away games this year at proper grounds

 

[nummy217]

Ugly: umps and that yank flog

 

[whattagun07]

Bad: Absolute circlejerk going on in the commentary box

 

[pjcrows]

I thought we played pretty well, and the 3rd was scintillating, but just not good enough. 4.13 across three quarters just isn't good. You won't beat many with that, let alone the best. Pies never out of a match.

is a jet but we need more ball-using midfielders. With the talent we have across the ground we will win some games and play a watchable style but until we get a couple, I'm not going to get too worked up either way because it won't matter.

Nicks has the ability as coach to change the style of games. You might not win but at least show some control. A genuine mark against him so far has been his lacking in this area but I thought he got things moving in the 3rd - just not good enough overall.

Nothing has changed on my attitude a month ago and the month before that - we probably won't play finals, which is okay providing the right decisions are made at weekly selection and then at the trade/draft table.

The trajectory is there.

RE: Umpiring - the standard league-wide from week to week is horrid, across all facets. It's not worth the energy.

 

[Moonwatcher]

We're good enough.

We seem to match up ok against Collingwood

 

[rocket18]

Joke of a club, "close enough is good enough".

Unchanged next week, fail in the big moments again and again but we persist with the same midfielders who have failed us for years.

 

[1990crow]

Can we please go to the AFL and ask when that review into Victorian teams dominance is going to be undertaken?
Like the one in 2007 where the results never got released by coincidently resulted in Vic sides winning 14 of the next 16 flags and counting.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Feels like we've had a lot of those losses

Do we get closer with a different side?

 

[Scorpus]

Often I would say that umpiring doesn't decide games but on this occasion it clearly did.

Rankine's goal not allowed on review.

Dawson taken high inside 50 at the death.

Those two decisions alone decided the game in favour of Collingwood

Port top of the ladder. SA dominance

 

[Crows I Am]

Hold your heads up boys. We should have won that. Umps took control in the last quarter and made sure the Magpies got up.

Dawson was huge, captain stood up when we needed him.

Shows we can take it up to the best in the league away from home. Lots to be proud about today. Just shattered that we couldn't get the win though.

also the 50m penalty

Ugly: Some blokes in Gameday bagging Hinge.

 

[whattagun07]

Good:
Dawson
Tex
Laird
Rankine's second half
Hinge
Ned off the pine
3rd quarter comeback. Best we've played this year.

Bad:
Umpires
Commentators
1st Qtr contagious crap kicking
Smith miss in the last qtr
Milera's lack of awareness to the incoming tackler
Sholl - has to be dropped

And where did you have us before the season started?

 

[Shuestar13]

That stings. This “league” is just beyond words honestly.

Collingwood against Non VIC sides this year at the G have been brutal. I thought you would have done well with competitive 3-4 goal loss tbh. What the AFC showed today… wow. That third quarter was absolutely brilliant. The last, you were still running out the game, your fitness is elite.

A few missed chances and completely disgusting umpiring You deserved the win on the balance of play for that second half.

We know the deficiencies. You are far from the finished product. But you are on the right path. Be proud of the side today. Keep winning at home, snare a couple away and the finals drought will end this year!

 

[Red mist]

Mitch Hinge is absolutely crucial in our ball movement.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Frustrating that we lost to this lot again, but it’s not nearly as much as the R7 loss

We’re on a very nice trajectory, we’re not at a top-notch level just yet but we’re getting there

You know Dawson unfortunately won’t get the three votes even though he was the most dominant player on the ground

 

[NSolis]

Don't really think the umpiring was that bad. The 50 to Daicos was questionable but it was a mark to Mihocek anyway so probably still results in a goal. Umpires call for Rankine's goal was correct, couldn't overturn based on that and I think it probably was a behind. Disappointing to lose but the result was decided by a series of goals from centre bounces, not by a couple of marginal frees.

Some big positives to take from that result anyway - third quarter was definitely our best for the year. If we play like that against other opposition we will win a lot of games.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Umpires won Collingwood the game in the last with some soft frees and unpaid frees to us.

However

Our first half was disgraceful.
