Game Day NAB3: GCS vs Adelaide @ Metricon - 11 March 2016

[Scrotes2000]

Nearly 100 more uncontested disposals, a very different game plan that's for sure.

Anyone know where I can find the uncontested possession stats from last year?

Nvm. Found - http://www.afl.com.au/stats

Forgot about advanced options

Excellent effort and great to get the win but Cheney and VB were horrible. Really liked Lynch, Crouch, Seed, Lyons and Big Mac was great. Clearances will get us killed if we play against a good team like that.
A lot of players picked themselves this week and a few of them showed they belong in the sanfl.
Can't wait for 2 weeks time. Go crows!!

 

[Squiba]

You would think a fitness superstar like VB would be smashing it in the 2nd half of a game like this.

He's in a situation where he has to get possession of and use a ball, that isn't his forte.

His facial expression is how I feel most of the time I come on here.

Same. Crows +25/Sydney @ $2.17

Should be easy money

That was heart in the throat stuff.

 

[DD#23]

VB looks a bit worried post-siren

Sucks for him because he isn't a defender's arseh*le.

Biggest talking points for me...

Lyons cemented a round one spot, was in our bests tonight.
McGovern will play games at AFL level this year.
Milera is a jet and will play round one.
The Seed is running into form at the right time, dat leg.
Jacobs, Thommo, Laird, Crouch, Brown, Smith, Lynch Talia and Lever their usual selves all night.
Tex and Dougie good 2nd halves.
Sloaney a little quiet, but still 20 touches, 4 marks and 4 tackles.
Jenkins had his moments, but usually plays better when more pressure is on.
Hartigan will play over Cheney round one.
Crouch Snr and Atkins need to play round one.

McGovern, Milera, Seedsman all put hands up for Round 1.
Concerns in the middle. Done 19--10 in centre clearances. Hope Crouch snr puts his hand up tomorrow.

I don't think I'll be able to listen to 5aa anymore knowing that Rowie does the commentary with no pants on

 

[Mike Smyth]

McGovern looks really, really promising.

VB, McKay, cey and Cheney should all be used for sanfl depth and then delisted at the end of the year. Cey is horrible.

Pretty much how I saw it.


Was quite impressed with McGovern. Great tackler for a bigger guy.

 

[BACCS]

I would like the centre clearances to be a little closer, but scored 79 points from turnovers tonight.

Agree with most of that. Disappointed with smiths, jacobs and Sloanes games.

 

[moses]

Only saw the second half. Thought McGovern and Lyons looked good. Milera surely plays round one. Vb, just looks like the game was past him.

Gee he looks as much of a knob as he sounds.

Can't believe how bad cheney was... he's usual a good short kick.. his awareness and disposal was really bad

 

[BACCS]

Now time to watch the blockbuster Netherlands vs Bangladesh game at the T20WC!

 

[pjcrows]

I only saw bursts tonight but based on the stats from the first 3 practise games it sticks out like dog's balls - we are not playing an 80% contested/inside game anymore. We're playing a much more varied style, bordering on outside/uncontested. The choke/press from Walshy is not really evident. That's a big shift. Perhaps they analysed the Hawks Semi closely and have designed a game to match that style rather than a dour style.

Exciting but risky if our skills fall flat.

Seedsman looked impressive. Good game.

 

[footy4ever]

Anyone else get the feeling we were just looking in the rear vision mirror most of the night and when they snuck up we put the foot down just enough? That's how I saw it. Nobody really extended themselves until they really had to. Good for the lack of injuries.

 

[Truck25]

Loving the Seed, looks so much like a younger B.Smith.
We have 2 Brodie Smiths! that's gotta be a good thing!

 

[BACCS]

Agree with most of that. Disappointed with smiths, jacobs and Sloanes games.

Jacobs had 18 disposals, 4 marks, 41 hitouts and 2 tackles, I think we must have been watching a different game. Smith had a good first half and in the end still had 25 touches, 16 of those kicks. Sloaney didn't seem to get out of first gear but still had 20 touches and 4 tackles. These guys just need minutes in the legs before round one, they will be fine.

 

[footy4ever]

Seeds. Dat kicking.
