Opinion Non-Crows AFL 4: The Centre Cannot Hold

[hey shorty]

Fancy having Hawthorn and North Melbourne at the G

 

[Scorpus]

Why wouldn't you get excited about the #1 draft pick taking the ball out of the middle and delivering it lace out to a forward inside 50?

They said not many players can do that

Heaps of players can do that

 

[chrisso crow]

Did anyone seriously label Finlayson as the missing piece? The same guy who got one touch in a GF? Please tell me no one really did?

Nope. He was insurance as they knew Ladhams was likely to leave. I don't think they would have gone after him otherwise.

 

[Slippery Pete]

They said not many players can do that

Heaps of players can do that

And most of them are retired

 

[Peter Doherty]

There's been a lot of good quality games this weekend, with one glaring exception.

 

[chrisso crow]

A bit like all the chest puffing after over running over us in the trial match.

Doedee rested for the day and a few others managed. Us up at half time.

Port do their best work under such conditions and win easily.

Not to mention that they were going to come out 'fired up' after a poor start the week before.

I think I can hear that window slowly shutting.

Better than listening to ‘where’s Buddy’, even when he’s on the bench.

 

[baldandbroke]

Ok baldandbroke , that’s 2 in a handful of posts. Still claiming “nobody” saying it’s the bad bit? I can’t believe hey shorty liked your post when he had done exactly what you said nobody is doing only a few minutes before.

Sorry, should have said “no one who understands” OR “no one with a clue”

Think about saying what he said about someone you work with.

It is a complete lack of respect.

To those that say “well plenty of people say that sort of stuff, he just got caught” … yep. Lots of people say and do crappy, even evil stuff, and don’t get caught. You should be thankful when these people slip up and face consequences.

Would be a big blow for him and Port’s structure, KPDs is a real weak point of theirs.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Should’ve tanked

We had more points by round 13 than North managed for the entire season. We were never getting JHF.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

This is definitely a game between two spoon contenders.

 

[MarcusP2]

What has happened to Gunstons set shots? Woeful.

Yeh. We could have manufactured last.
We didn't need to beat Geelong, Melbourne, Saints in Cairns.
That would have guaranteed last.

still can't kick.

We did need to win games though.

Geelong and Melbourne were terrific wins for the club, shows that the path we are taking is the right one IMO

Saints game, well that was remarkable... Not many sides would have lost from they were.

People might want to wait a couple of years before being so sure JHF will have a far superior career to Josh Rachele especially when Josh likely moves into the midfield. Josh was the better footballer at U16's and got to play little football after that due to Victoria's poor handling of Covid when the other lad played every game possible in SA.

Hawthorn coughing up intercept marks galore when delivering into their 50.

 

[ams4crows]

Alir Alir with a syndesmosis injury?

That's huge, particularly if it means he isn't playing round 3 as we love to kick the ball directly to him

I was all for tanking but surely round 13 is too early to start thinking about draft picks.

Multiple back surgeries, got no penetration

And we've got a pretty damn good kid running out this arvo.

Alir Alir with a syndesmosis injury?

I pointed out earlier that he clearly aggravated an injury when you guys were all laughing at him, despite him not being listed on the injury list.
Port have got a bit to answer for here. He was returned to play after injuring himself earlier in the game and did not look happy at all, with very restricted movement. Then this happens! How would we feel if the AFC did this to one of ours?

out for potentially 12 weeks.

Port wont make the 8. He is that important to them.

 

[dani_giuls]

Hi All,

Sorry, I am not sure where to post this and this might be a silly question!! As a recent resident to Melbs (almost a year but spent most of that time in iso) I am thinking of trying to get to the match next Saturday at the G. I was just looking at purchasing tickets and it looks like there are only a couple of bays left (and some of those only have single seats). Is this normal? I wouldnt think that the Crows vs Pies would be a sell out.....I understand they have to account for all the Pies members, but does it open up later in the week?

Cheers, Dani
