Review Good vs Western Bulldogs in Ballarat, R6 2022

[Mutineer]

Those who bash Keays really have no clue how many other teams would love to have him now - absolutely never stops

Yep and the main ones shitcanning him still keep it up, just makes them look dipshits and clueless to boot.

Dropping in to say how much I loved watching your plucky young Crows 'murder' the Dogs and Umpires.

I honestly feel McHenry along with Tex, won that game for you in the final quarter. Best performance I have seen from the lad at AFL level, hopefully Nicks keeps playing him in the seniors.

Think you guys have better kids than most of us in the footy community thought.

Enjoy the win and weekend friends

 

[Redleg Crow]

Tex really is special

 

[Damp Squarie]

Our backline were sensational
ROB welcome back son.
Congratulations TEX

 

[CrowBloke]

I've been a long-time, avowed, doubter, but Frampton was good today.

This. Me, too.

I LOVED his contested marking today, general positioning so much better; am over-the-moon happy to be (very) wrong, for him and the Crows.

 

[CroCop]

Another solid team effort for a great win.

Goalkicking conversion a bit of a concern. Unsure how much that can be attributed to the wind?

I've been a long-time, avowed, doubter, but Frampton was good today.

Still really liking Murph the midfielder. Tex's renaissance continues. Defence held up really well. Keays remains a barometer, and Doedee back towards his best.

Berg probably worst on. Has probably banked a few credits on the back of the last few weeks, but a couple games like that and you'd expect Thilthorpe to be breathing down his neck.

Umpiring pretty bad, as per usual.

Apparently Thilthorpe got injured in the SAnfl today .

You’ve converted me on Murphy

 

[Crowboto]

How does he all of a sudden know how to mark the ball? He's always been able to get into a position to mark it but he's hands were always like butter....

Needs to be challenged to bring that game every week now .

 

[Redleg Crow]

Two back to back wins where we have given up a lead in the second half. That is character stuff

 

[Redleg Crow]

Apparently Thilthorpe got injured in the SAnfl today .

Ahh crap

 

[Bernie L]

Beat the Bulldogs and the umpires.

Beer very much sweeter now!!

 

[Moonwatcher]

All up we lost our 2 quarters with the wind by 4 points and the Bulldogs lost their 2 quarters with the wind by 5 points.

 

[FromOldFitzroy]

Sorry to intrude.
Fantastic result, and the AFL needs to do something about the umpiring of Doggie games.
Enjoy!

 

[CrowBloke]

It would have been criminal if the umpdogs got up in that.

One of your best wins in quite some time.

Since we knocked off your mob, last year?

 

[ABAB]

Himmelberg was very good especially after his shocking 1st quarter when O'Brien dominated him. All part of his development into a more consistent AFL player, there is a player there.

 

[Dewy006]

After years of Talia, Hartigan, Butts and Murray its a weird feeling not utterly shitting a brick when a Key Back of ours has the football.

 

[Redleg Crow]

You’ve converted me on Murphy

Not as a small forward - but very nice on the ball, which was something I didn’t see coming

 

[TRP1996]

Apparently Thilthorpe got injured in the SAnfl today .

Bugger. What happened?

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Frampton, Jones, McHenry and Berry all good.

 

[ABAB]

How does he all of a sudden know how to mark the ball? He's always been able to get into a position to mark it but he's hands were always like butter....

Don't think marking was a big issue when he was at Port Power, it was his goal kicking.

 

[adelaidecrows]

The good.

Best on ground

Im going to say it, Frampton with O'Brien runner up.

Guys who just showed they have grown an extra level today.

McHenry, Frampton, McAdam



Jones is fast becoming one of our most consistent players. His ability to pressure the ground ball in defense because of his speed is brilliant.

the biggest elite runner in the comp? The games finished but he looks like he could go again. Crows got a gun for nothing.

I agree with the commentary: Cook and Gollant will be genuine A Grade stars.



The Crows I believe have now an established and balanced best 20 and now we are growing our depth.

Crows selection dilemma. Can not in good conscious let Thilthorpe spend more games than AFL in the Sanfl. How do we get him in?

 

[Crow_68]

Footy is a lot of fun at the moment - is it too much to ask for an Eagles win tonight?

 

[UcantCme]

ROB best game for 2022
Frampton best game for the club
Tex 500 goals, and forward line leadership

Credit to Nick's for the DNA he is building in this group

Our will to work for each other, fight and be hard to play against is like the Sydney teams he played in

Very good:
Frampton, McHenry, Tex, Murphy, Jones, Doedee, Keays, Sholl, Cook, McAdam, Berry

 

[eddiespocket]

Influence of Burgess already paying dividends
defensive unit really good
Keays unbelievable
Tex‘s goal
McHenry best game
Frampton everyone else has said it
West Coast kick goal in 1st minute
