Game Day Monday Night Football - Crows vs Saints

[CrowsB4hoes]

It’s not brilliant but you do realise full capacity wasn’t allowed?

Of course I do but attendances aren’t relative to capacity. If they allowed 50,000 in instead of 25,000 you still would have had the same attendance.

Thanks for your thoughts. Things are maybe never as bad as they seem and maybe never as good as they seem. There are some positives from tonights game but we get to see things every week and can see some glaring problems with the club that keep getting let through to the keeper. But please feel free to post here..very polite poster

Thank you for that, always an unknown posting on as an oppo supporter after a loss.

I think my point was St. Kilda is probably going to sneak into the 8 and the Crows played them hard, and at their best could have beaten them. I felt watching the game you were on the cusp until midway in the 4th quarter. You have a lot of young players with good upsides, it's just the most painful stage pf the process. You also lost Eddie Betts (irreplaceable talent) and that hurts your forward options. Tex can't carry the team (though he sure tried tonight)

Again maybe I'm being too positive, but I hope your boys take away that their best today could have knocked off a finals team had they just kicked a little straighter.

I'll try to watch your matches more regularly though.

It was a ballot so there may have been 25k that wanted to go that didn’t get a ticket.

 

[ams4crows]

Yes. First game of footy all year. Might be the only one you get to go to. Perfect weather. Would normally expect high 40’s. It’s a terrible crowd number.

Ahhh the maximum allowed to go was 25k and it was a Monday night?? How many supporters do you reckon pledged enough so they were eligible to go?
A fair number of this board opted out and took the $60 option which ment they couldn't attend games

I just find it interesting whenever Ricciuto talks about current performance he says "they" and whenever he talks about the future he says "we". Might as well have Trump on the board - none of the bad stuff is his fault but all of the good stuff is down to him.

This was pre-match:

“It’s unusual for Adelaide to be underperforming at the start of the year like they are at the moment, but they also know they’ve got to have a rebuild,” he said. We‘re going to get some games into some kids, we’re going to recruit some young talent and we’re going to give them some time, so it’s going to take two, three or maybe five years to get back up to being a really good team in the competition.”

See you in five years Crows fans

The Adelaide Crows have sunk to a new low, despite a better performance against St Kilda on Monday night.

We’re a club that exists to be competitive, is all about maintaining crowd numbers, and has arsed every coach who missed the 8 in consecutive years.

A 5 year rebuild would show an unprecedented level of patience. They’ll panic once the crowd drops off anyway.

Not the point. When the playing group fails, they're on their own. Not even the footy director on the board has their back. We already have kids playing who'll be the backbone of the next generation. They need to see evidence of "we fly as one" now when it really means something.

There's a lot of talk about 5 year rebuilds but not a lot of talk about what caused us to get into the position to need a 5 year rebuild. Don't hear any current members of the admin mentioning mistakes made. Strangely quiet. What makes anyone think that the people who got us into this mess would have any clue how get us out?

Watching Riccuito on the telecast tonight was cringeworthy at times. How can you have a football director commentating on a club where he has been a central figure in it's failings. Get the feeling the commentators were thinking the same thing.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Haha. Our team tonight was younger than yours in both age and games played?

What's that got to do with the price of eggs? I just don't think you're a very good team. Better than us at the moment, sure. But that's not much of an achievement.

 

[FR0GGY]

You can pick any stat you like, you had 2 players less than 20 games we had 7.
Lose a couple of our useless older blokes and the age and games played stat drops significantly.

He’s S H I T . If you don’t move like a Nathan Bock , Dougal Howard, Darcy Moore type for a tall defender then do not draft . Does anyone ever see MCAsey doing a 10 to 20 metre run running away from a forward and taking a bounce .?

Only, I think we've ascertained he's not a defender.

 

[jenny61_99]

Did I see Hartigan at full forward ?

Yes. For the second time this season. At least Nicks will try stuff.

 

[jenny61_99]

Hammill didn't have a great game but that last handball to set up Keays goal was so clean. Put right where he wanted Keays to run to. Crouches could learn a thing or two from that handball.

ANYONE who handballed 6 inches to a player flat footed and with a direct opponent (and there were PLENTY), could learn a thing or two from that.

This five year rebuild - we need a long term coach. Nicks aint it.

 

[jenny61_99]

Did I hear right?

Only 13,000 tonight?

Wow. If that’s not a wake up call for the crows heirarchy I don’t know what is.

I expect Port will sell out their allocation.

Really? In a pandemic where older folk are considered at risk? You expected them to come out? Also... we are a bit shit. There's also that.

And people like my family, qualified to go in the ballot (as 50% pledge) but obviously couldn't go.

I still think it's WAY too early to say.

 

[thebirdman 24]

Yup agreed. Give him some good assistants first and see what he can do over a 2 year period.

I still think it's WAY too early to say.

For the love of God don't do that to yourself!

School went back in SA this week too. A number of people were caught out by not registering barcodes together so then weren’t sitting together and ended up not bothering. Plus the team is average. 18k is fine under the circumstances, should get a bigger crowd on Sunday.
