Review Good/Bad vs St Kilda, R9 2023

[cleanhands]

Could be a rib injury

Poor bastard was open

 

[Jirkago75]

What can ya say, not much too negative from that, good win.
Especially happy we belted one of the sides with the new experienced coaches. My mate has been going on about how Nicks was a mistake blah blah blah and when North Ess and Saints started the year well he was chortling away. I can't wait to catch up with him again now. Reckon I'll be even further in front by the end of the season.

I think I mentioned last week that I previously thought our middle of the year slumps were from depth and injuries, but now I reckon it might be because of how poor our gameplan is for slippery conditions. Today, if anything, seems like additional evidence in favour of the theory. If we have an El Nino, it'll be a help to our cause.

Was thinking the same thing about the coaches, especially are all the talk of Longmuir being a great coach after 2 years. The Crows and Nicks have slowly been building a good hard team that hopefully will be a finals team for a while. (Start next year on making finals). We are improving every week and most of us on this board have jumped the gun on a few players.
Almost all our players have improved out of site and are getting better week by week

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.

The defeat of Lyonball is always a net positive for humanity and the forces of good

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.

Did notice a couple of times could have been more desperate, the players will correct that it’s something they won put up with

Scary to think we he's capable of once he develops the endurance required to spend most of the match in the midfield.

 

[jenny61_99]

Who comes out for Murray , can’t drop Milera, Sholl or Parnell after that.

Do we rest Sloane and shuffle the side?

I think that’s what’ll happen. Sloane rested (or made sub), Murray in. Pedlar to take more CBA. Also, think either Fog or Tthorpe rested and Ned comes in.

 

[FR0GGY]

I have been very critical of Milera but thought he was excellent today.

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

Looked very good by foot from what I recall

Bad

The Ross Lyon Press Conference, utter garbage

Ross is truly back to his old form, the honeymoon is over Saints fans

[arrowman]

unless saints were playing a loose man behind the ball which we couldn't see on tv - would explain why crows tried to run it out of stoppages and kick it 25 metres

Given the Saints' defensive style, that's very likely. And well coached by Nicks.

 

[jenny61_99]

Bad losses to GWS and Richmond may haunt us at the end of the year.

I actually think they were important losses. They educate us how NOT to play footy and important in our development.

85% from 26 disposals you’d take every day of the week.

 

[UcantCme]

Because the Saints were s**t today

We made them shit

We made them defend in a way other teams have not done to them yet

Play with speed, use the entire ground, and force turn over in areas of the ground which are possible to defend

We made them shit today

Rachele has already racked up a fair few run down chases this year, so it's likely just a case of him not being fit enough to do it all game, and is picking and choosing with it.

Agreed. Will be great to see what he can become in a couple of years.

another preseaon under Burgess is exciting of what could be

 

[jenny61_99]

don't need to be injured to be subbed out. But do reckon he's carrying something, only got it 21 times last week and 22 to sub point this week. And still from full minutes, not his normal racking up style.

He was tagged today I thought.

 

[kirky]

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

Absolute rubbish post.

 

[Redleg Crow]

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

I'm with you

Game Day - Crows vs Saints, Rnd 9, Happy Mother's Day mothers

Better game this week so far for Sholl

Yes/No. Give me a crappy close win any day and learn from that. 4 points lost can't ever be taken back.

 

[Golumless]

Especially as this whole 'learn from losses' angle is rather overblown.

Adelaide didn't exactly realise you need to kick goals to win against Collingwood, for example.

Only reason I asked was it said ‘injured’ on the AFL app

Glad it’s just management
