Review Good vs Carlton

[CrowToon]

Won away
Won against Top 4/8
Won a close one

The number of hoodoos checked off in that game was fantastic.

Nicks better not revert else he can go back to ****ing off.

Soligo still the future GOAT

 

[MRB37]

Props to Nicks for making the right moves today. Might have been four games too late… but he’s done it! Now he’s got to learn from it! Good teams win close games!

The problem would be he's 5 years in and i'd hope by now he'd of stopped these kinda of gaffes.

Well played Crows, good luck for the rest of the season

I watched the Carlton game last Saturday at the oval, honestly I nearly fell asleep at times. It only got interesting in the last qtr with the help of umps.
McKay was shite as usual. Cripps was quiet and Hewitt almost invisible.

I'm thinking the Crows have a chance and dabbling on line and under 40.

Told ya people!

Well done you magnificent bastards

 

[Geoffa32]

Seeing Sog and Rankine in the middle for key moments is a real change.

The use of Dawson good too. Quell Cripps early, then roll forward.




Have not been that nervous/pumped in the last 2 minutes of a game since 2017. Standing up in front of TV in my lounge room as if I was at the game standing.


Love it.




Now let's push on.


Build the midfield around Sog, Rankine, Rachele and Berry.

With Walker back to form and fitness again there's suddenly a forward line again, who would have guessed.

O'Brien probably happy he won't have to explain how he let Patrick Cripps get a clean tap to advantage in a ruck contest in the last minute of a game.

The delivery helped with Rachele, Rankine and Soligo in there. Fogarty dropped a few marks on the lead.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Great win. Took Dawson out the middle more which helped. Berry was unreal in the last 10 minutes.

Only negative tonight if there is one is we need a healthy 34 year old Walker to win

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I’m shaking as I’m used to heart break., I lost hope when Curnow kicked that goal to put them up by 16.

Rankine and Berry huge in the last 5 mins.

It was great being surrounded by Carlton fans

 

[George Kramer]

Props to Nicks for making the right moves today. Might have been four games too late… but he’s done it! Now he’s got to learn from it! Good teams win close games!

No ****ing way. He’s cost us a chance for finals

 

[MrBarry]

It's very easy for people to say before the game "I hope we lose"...

But then when it comes down to it, I want the ****ing win

 

[mick500]

Not gonna lie, Hamill did nothing wrong today and did quite a bit right. Which after his preseason form is amazing. Smith has no confidence ATM. Gonna be hard to keep playing him on faith with performances like today. Soligo looking every good a long term signing as Rachelle was.

Go you crow!!

The win wasn't reliant on Dawson, Laird and Crouch in the midfield though.

 

[WetCrow1991]

We won because of our ascending players: Soligo, Rankine, Rachelle, Berry all big at various times.

Maybe let's stop going backwards (literally) to the Crouch/Laird crutch.

That Carlton run in the 4th was on the back of Laird and Crouch on the ball.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Congratulations Crows. Great match, thoroughly deserved win.

Nothing better than watching that scum get beaten. Was cheering as loudly as if it were the Pies beating them. And how's that Irish bloke we gave you

 

[Stinky Lomax]

Awesome.

 

[GROTTO]

On Behalf of the Freo board...Thank you

If you really want to thank us, you know what your job is tonight. Win........

 

[WetCrow1991]

Fogarty had a bad game, and was being held constantly, but he pulled out an absolutely clutch kick in the 4th, credit too him not giving up.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Bad: We were the highest ranked winless team, now we're the lowest ranked team with a win (I'll take it).

 

[Coopers]

Great:

• Suck shit carlton
• I don't think anyone will mention the improved midfield Mix, so I better do that right here.

Good:

• Dawson back to good Dawson
• Hinge back to good Hinge
• Tex back to good Tex
• Won, even with the 2 goal "AFL wants carlton in the next all Vic grand final" advantage.
• Cooky, the spark. This kid just has it. Berry the Finisher. And Sir Isaak, that's why you get paid, son.

Mid:

• Cook gives me "Hesitation and confidence" vibes. We need to find a way to build this kids head up, when he doesn't think he's FIYAH.

 

[Geoffa32]

Time to make a call on Laird/Crouch.


And play Berry.


Laird needs another role. Has done well as a "stop gap" mid since 2018.

But he is holding up genuine midfield talent.

Tex, Soligo and Rankine all superb.

Keays best game since the last time we played Carlton.

Berry was excellent when he came on.

Jones recovered from a poor first half. Was important in that second half.

Need a lot more from ROB, Dawson, Laird, Crouch, Smith and Fog though.

 

[Scorpus]

Bad: It takes Nicks five weeks to do what he should have done from round 1 and what every single person was calling for

 

[WetCrow1991]

Can't stand Nicks, the test will be if he sticks with the winning changes, but really a coach dumb enough not to implement them to start with doesn't deserve the job.

I want Nicks gone. But **** me dead is it amazing to watch this team win an away game against Carlton in Melbourne!!!!
