Review Good/Bad vs St Kilda, R9 2023

[Mutineer]

Then if we can add in an another emerging mid (phillipou or hollands) to that group, we will start to bat deep

Hollands again did little yesterday in the VFL, your infatuation with Elijah needs to be tempered until he actually plays the footy befitting of your infatuation...and yes I did watch most of that game yesterday. There is a reason Elijah isn't playing AFL....form.

* off, that's my bag

You must hate days like today

 

[Gtowncrow]

Good, not one passenger today....

Agree....

For the first time ever, I ticked all 23 as played well in the thread poll.

Some contributed more than others but a great team win.

 

[pjcrows]

Taylor Walker.
Bruce Springsteen.

Neither of these men should ever retire.

I thought Hobbs was good against Brisbane. Perfect age bracket too.

Have seen the man 5 times never disappoints

PHOOOAAAARRRR!





That is all.

 

[Sully111]

Most top 8 sides would have beaten St Kilda by 100 today.

Credit where credit is due. You guys looked very good today. Your field kicking was elite. You looked like a good footy team out there. I would have thought you'd be pretty happy with the direction you're heading. Exciting times ahead I think.

 

[Dangarman]

Who were giving up on average 59 points a game and the previous highest against them was 83. We kicked 121.

Great effort

Haven't watched the game yet (I want to stay married on Mothers' day), but I also noted it was the highest score against StK by a fair margin. * denotes a StK win.

*Freo - 52
*Dogs - 41
*Dons - 74
*Suns - 60
Pies - 70
*Blues - 60
Power - 83
*Kangas - 34
Crows - 121

 

[pjcrows]

Good win by you lot.
Reward for playing well without winning over the past couple of weeks.
Set the standard very early then kicked accurately to give scoreboard pressure.
My Saints never really looked likely at all thereafter.
Plenty of applause for Membrey when he was assisted from the ground shows some class.
Same was seen on these boards when Hunter Clark had his jaw broken a couple of years back in a collision with Mackay.
Crows are better than the Dogs and Lions travelling are rarely good things. Could be a great month ahead for Adel.

Crows zoned down the line instead of the inside and saints had 0 balls to take it through the middle.

 

[Betts are off]

Haven't seen a second of it due to Mother's Day feast but I will enjoy the replay!

Me too, my kids better get to bed real quick smart

Hahahaha… truth is we all wanted mackay to get 6 weeks for the Hunter Clark incident!..

but it was simply a football accident that occurred with two lads going for the ball. Terrible thing for poor Hunter to have to go through. Good to see its not affected his career. Some young lads can go into their shells and start shirking contests after something like that happening to them. He’s still hard at it.

A rematch in September would be a good result for both clubs considering our respective recent years.

See you then

 

[CrowBloke]

Pedlar, Soligo, Rachele, Dawson midfield once all at 50+ games will be something.

Mouth-watering proposition ....

 

[arrowman]

Have seen the man 5 times never disappoints

Coming to Aus/NZ in 2024. Get on the wait list - Ticketek, IIRC.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Re-watching Pedlar's draft highlights show he is a midfielder but I noticed he can gut also run.....

Pedlar is going to be so good … they doing a nicely patient slow approach

 

[CrowBloke]

I'm calling it now, Luke Pedlar will win a Brownlow one day.

Maybe the year after Dawson ...?

Reckon hollands has been “chayce jones’d”..

played out of position because he’s at a club that has prioritised other players.. and then dropped when it hasnt worked out.

now his confidence is completely shot.

the knee recon recovery probably hasnt helped with that either.

But he looked awesome at times at the end of last year playing for the suns as a mid/forward..

needs a fresh start.. got shitloads of talent..

we could maybe get him on the cheap trade wise!

 

[rabidcrow]

I really like Rachele, but would like to see him chase a little harder when he loses possession, or the team loses possession in his general area.

JHF?
It is something he needs to work on - and naturally sharing the ball more.
But he is a talent!

Add in another top line prospect via trade and you'd be nervous as an opposition.

 

[rabidcrow]

Started off poorly but was great after his first few disposals.

Still rarely gets tackled. Just had a way to get free - and his defensive positioning today was first rate

looking at those wins, there's not much there.

Hopefully we are in on him and get him cheaply before he turns a corner.
Is as good an option that may come here as anyone else out there (midfielder wise)
