Review Good/Bad vs Gold Coast, Rd 3 2021

[moogerfooger]

Schoenberg is going to be an absolute superstar. Nobody on the ground came close to him in terms of value per touch. He's pure class.

But let's face it, without Walker and Sloane we lose by 10 goals.

 

[footy4ever]

Tex and Sloane. True leadership. What they are doing right now is simply immeasurable and should this group go on to achieve success in the future, their roles in the attainment of that success should not be forgotten. Brilliant, both of them. I am lost for words with how well Tex in particular is playing. He has not deserved what has been put on him in the last few years and to see him doing what he is doing, it is inspiring He deserves to finish his career on a high. Keep going Texan!

Don’t let us down today brother.

 

[Barneythecrab]

Reckon Lynch and Murphy’s first half were very underrated.
Murphy’s crumbing and then quick ball movement was incredible important to get us going.
Lynch, didn’t get a huge amount of it but he was cool and calm and made some really smart, mature decisions when we were up against it.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

After seeing Lynch slip over and get hit in the head by the ball, followed by Laird streaming into goal and falling flat on his face, then Smith (?) handballing into the back of Seedsman's head... I thought oh well, good game but we're probably not going to hang on here.

But we offset these comedic moments with some clutch plays and composure at the death

 

[footy4ever]

I honestly challenge anyone to find a zero to hero game like McHenry had. He's an absolutely frustrating footballer, who for three quarters, was playing some of the worst football played in an Adelaide jumper. Then makes 3 really big plays in the last quarter (the tackle in the goal square to get the Keays goal, going in hard against the GCS player to 50/50 that contest, cutting off the handball option and kicking the goal from Berry's tackle on Lukosuis). At least you can't question his fortitude.

I thought he’d lost the game for us.

Then won it.

Then lost It.

Then won it.

Ned’s an enigma.

How does someone that close to the ground fumble ground balls so often?...and then bring down an elephant to save a goal.

How can an AFL footballer not make the distance from 30m?...then after being all over the ground at manic pace and pressure when anyone else would be fatigued, get the ball, burn everyone off and kick a winning goal?

He’s doing my head in.

 

[MatthewB]

Who does Talia push out when he comes back? Because he sure as hell isn't pushing out Butts

I was thinking the same thing driving home last night

 

[Bovo]

The win was good, but how awesome is it to watch a good game of footy? Gee the Suns have some talent on their list, but we are more balanced with a blend of experience and kids coming through. Tex owned that forward line. Sloane led from the front. My biggest concern was our kick out from defence. We nailed it a couple of times in that last quarter, but more often we looked like our game plan was not working.

 

[Jarmayhem]

Good - the feeling that maybe, just maybe, we are experiencing the formation of the nucleus of an exciting team with an exciting future. A long way to go but man, it's exciting.

 

[footy4ever]

Thank you Kane Corned for telling Tex he was completely washed uo!

In the “worst Crows team ever”

Kornes needs to quit while he’s behind.

 

[MatthewB]

Frampton is starting to give off major Ian Perrie vibes.

I just can’t do another 100 games of what he served up tonight.

At least Sarge could klunk a mark, Frampton cant even hold a chest mark

 

[Dirty Bird]

I'd love to know who it was calling for the ball.

Rowe's first no was to two people I think, Tex about 15m back and someone else 25m back.

The other person got the message and ran to a more attacking position. Tex persisted louder and Rowe was a little more direct with the 2nd no.

 

[footy4ever]

Umpiring is a total mess. Was actually laughing tonight.

Yeah, I didn’t see the funny side at all.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Yeah, I didn’t see the funny side at all.

The first 3 quarters were just bewilderingly stupid. About on par with the SANFL umpires at Elizabeth yesterday

7 quarters of football across the 2 games with incompetent calls calling absolute trash.

All I could do was laugh and shake my head at it.

But that 4th quarter. We were nailing tackles and the umpire would call play on for stuff which would be holding the ball 95% of the time. While at the other end, they'd get a holding the ball call for something which would only be paid 80% of the time.

That 4th was just another level up from what I had watched before that yesterday.

Kornes needs to quit while he’s behind.

He wasn’t alone in thinking that.
Half or more on here wanted him to retire.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Berry and Schoenberg

Makes you forget about Gallucci and Poholke, and not worry about Jones' struggles so much

Once Schoenberg starts getting 20+ touches a game people are going to start figuring out how good he is

There was one play in Q1 where he gathered and looked to handball to Seedsman I think who was running past on the outside.

Mid-handball he sensed that Seedsman would get boxed in so held onto it and turned back inside. Sent a couple of defenders the wrong way.

Made it look so simple but that type of awareness has been so lacking in our midfielders for a long time (even including Dangerfield and Sloane). It's S Mitchell, Pendlebury stuff.

When in doubt, draft the country kid

was next level last night. He’s quietly back to his AA form as well.

Am I the only one that likes Dwayne?

I like him. I get a bit tired of his buzz words, but I enjoy his call. But I'm a big fan of BT, so I'm not really someone you want in your corner on this. I also enjoy the bias that comes through when ex-players call their club's games. Adds something positive in my view, seems to shit nearly everyone else to tears.

 

[ftmch]

Am I the only one that likes Dwayne?

No, I'm with you. I don't get the hate. I reckon he's pretty balanced, and brings a genuine South Australian perspective to the commentary.

Yeah he has elite work in traffic. Another preseason of strength and conditioning and he should be pushing to be a prime mover for us. His handball skills are sublime too. Always puts it to advantage. Same with his kicking.

There was one play that was Hamill to Schoenberg to Berry and I just thought... finally we've drafted blokes who are footballers first.
