Review Good/Bad vs North Melbourne, R4 2021

[GreyCrow]

Good

Crows have the same amount of Premiership points as Port

He was labouring last week too.

Didn't think he was too bad last week be honest. Would need to go back and rewatch though. Still looks our most damaging player to deliver into the 50 by a long way imo and stats certainly back that up for the entire league thus far. The defensive side of his game has always been a weakness, unlikely that changes at this point in his career.

Don't think even the most optimistic fan would have expected this ...

 

[Bearded Clam]

If they get pick 1 and 2, I think they’d be prepared to trade pick 2.

I would do McAsey and our first for pick 2, so long as that guaranteed us the Horne dog.

Why the hell would they want to do that for mcasey??.. they will also have pick 1 in the PSD.. they’ll offer us a third rounder or threaten to walk him through to the PSD... and Purple will say over and over again in the media that thats all his worth.. while squealing “hately, hately, hately”..

if mcasey wants to go to north.. then we will get nothing for him.. but I seriously doubt he’ll want to go play for a shit side after last year!..

But if he wants to go anywhere else.. we might be able to scrounge something like a round 2 for him because there will be no PSD threat because he wont get past norths pick..

True

People talk about Ned and his lack of footy IQ, the thing is he's pretty much always moving to the right spots at the fall of the ball.

Disposal and stupid free kicks are his biggest falling. Confident enough the disposal will improve to an acceptable level. The agro needs to stop.

He reminds me of those little dogs that yap a lot and are just a nuisance.

Perhaps he just needs to get his jollies off. Might help.

 

[Dudersaurus]

Sholl very good, Schoenberg good in patches, ROB solid taking marks well. Dude.

Ugly: North comfortably the worst team in the league, and frankly we were not much better.

That mask has no eye holes

Talk about masks, I thought you had to wear them in Marvel. It appears not.

We have no consistency between the States on Covid-19 observance.

We have both beaten 2020 grand finalists as well. Both defeated Kangaroos.

It would be nice then if Lynch had more than one inside 50 for the entire game

Good: it look 17 rounds to chalk up 3 win a last season. This season we've reached that feat in 4 rounds!

 

[Dewy006]

It’s hard to argue that playing all of Fog, Lynch, Walker and Frampton/Berg doesn’t objectively make us worse. You can argue it’s short term pain for the long term gain of Fogs development, and I’d listen, but better teams than North will have an absolute field day coming out of our forward half with the lack of pressure that can be applied by these talls. If our No 1 goal is to win games then I can’t argue against dropping Fog.

 

[cmndstab]

Replace Frampton with Fog. Frampton tries hard but he's just not good enough. Thilthorpe can take Lynch's role.

It has been our best start since 2017. Yippee!

And has a left side

 

[jenny61_99]

Might explain Shanos slow start. Good to see the young lads grind it out and play through a bit banged up

Despite all that, Mackay STILL didn’t get on to the ground!

 

[Scorpus]

But he gained a valuable game to his tally

 

[pjcrows]

Didn't see any today. So just watch the 1st and 4th quarters on replay, I take it?

Watch the first 10 minutes, then skip to 3QT

[Sanders]

He absolutely should have had 4, and he wasnt very far off 5- another metre on the kick.

People absolutely miss the point with this kid. He can impact now as he learns the AFL game if he's used right. He's a player who can be a legitimate threat in parts of the ground where a lot of defences will willingly give up the ball. You can't push him to the boundaries, he'll score from there. The other parts of his game will develop with experience- he needs to learn to use his size against AFL bodies.

There is absolutely no benefit to playing him in our SANFL team- he won't learn a damn thing. The players aren't good enough to use a player with his skill set, and he won't learn a thing about using his body against players without AFL strength.

but he’s definitely not a forward!

 

[Danger in Texas]

Yes, Fogarty and Lynch aren’t the same player. Yes, Fogarty doesn’t have the running capacity of Lynch, and probably never will

That doesn’t mean we can’t re-structure our side to fit Fogarty in, which we did today, and it worked with Fog kicking 3 goals. To say there’s no position for Fog in this team is nuts IMO

 

[Scorpus]

Nicks sounds pleased with Fogarty based on his presser and thought his contribution around the ground didn't show up in basic stats. Liked his versatility and accurate kicking

 

[BRL121]

Old Crows would have lost that game. No doubt about it.

As stated by Laird directly after the match.

 

[MrBarry]

Ugly game but 2 thoughts:

1. Fogarty needs to be given a season at this level to develop his craft. The guy has genuine A grade talent and is totally wasted at SANFL as others have said. You look at the difference in ability between him and a guy like Frampton and it's huge.

2. Lynch and Frampton need to go, Lynch doesn't offer enough and Billy just isn't good enough at this level.
