Review R13: The Good, Bad and Ugly vs. Richmond Tigers

[BACCS]

Called this even before he got to don a Crows jumper.

But wait, there's more.

Aren't we supposed to be hot for Petty from the Dees? He's hot garbage from what I've seen

Petty is a KPD, not a forward and one of many reasons why we shouldn't go anywhere near Goodwin as a coach either.

 

[CrowBloke]

Good: Keane's handball to himself. Clever/ Hell-funny.

The rest: a huge steaming pile.

That was the ballsiest (stupidest) thing I've ever seen. There were so many ways it could go wrong.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Nonsense. He was in a better position

Dowling reminds me a bit of Jarryd Lyons.

Let's hope it doesn't end the same way.

A good player for Brisbane?

swing man? He is absolutely worth keeping on the list.

The fact Nank wasn't in the round 1 side is unforgivable, it's time for Smith to go and Nank Curtin to take over that half back flank role.

Laird is a serious problem and he needs to leave the club or at the very least the midfield, Crouch was dropped multiple times for playing like Laird does now and Matt Crouch

is a far better footballer.

Michalaney is elite thankgod he was a Father Son or he too would be playing at Sydney and they'd be an even better team. Can we poach one of Sydney's talent spotters or list managers or their recruiting officer?

 

[CrowBloke]

That was the ballsiest (stupidest) thing I've ever seen.

Compared to what? The Game/ the loss??
Meh.
I thought it was brilliant.

 

[GreyCrow]

Phil Walsh wouldnt put up with Laird a minute longer

 

[King Elvis]

David King & Kane Cornes echoing Campo & Bicks in wondering why they didn't bring Strachan in virtually for Tex & have the support for ROB from an experienced strong marking ruck. Strachan got monstered by Nankervis & Ryan, whilst doing some good stuff around the ground.

If you were cynical, you'd wonder if bringing Strchan in against Nankervis was deliberate, so he'd get bullied by an absolute unit of a human.

 

[King Elvis]

5 minutes to go, 2 goals to win. Check out the performances from our 2 senior players.

Laird goes to ground after a feather touch then stays on the ground like he's been shot as the ball literally passes over his limp body. The inexperience of Borlase and Max almost get us out of trouble, until Max's handball falls a centimetre short. If you pause the video with the ball in transit, Smith is actually set in a good enough spot to take the handball before he bricks himself. He had Soligo on in the middle, or even just put his head over it and ride the tackle. Ball up on our 50. Instead of tries to kick it through a wall of defenders.

These are our senior players. Week after week.

Thanks for doing that Shane - I suspect if you went through most games this year, you'd find similar efforts from Laird and Smith.

I'm not sure what's more pathetic, their non-efforts, or the refusal of Nicks to hold them accountable.

 

[BunjiMC]

Billy Dowling was very good. Missed a couple of kicks early - decisions were correct, execution slightly off.

Didn't drop his head. Had some good moments and almost moments in the fourth when most others were doing F all.

He was also pumping everyone up throughout the game when things went well (like Markov from Collingwood).

The kid has game. Play him for the rest of the season for God sake.

 

[King Elvis]

Laird is a serious problem and he needs to leave the club or at the very least the midfield, Crouch was dropped multiple times for playing like Laird does now and Matt Crouch is a far better footballer.

Said this repeatedly at the time - Crouch was clearly the escape-goat for the senior players, when he was far more deserving of selection than a number of the others.

Nah his form was putrid for a long time there. Looked absolutely cooked.

 

[Sanders]

Rowey’s fantastic and warranted tirade about the boys club was played on SEN this morning by Kane. The club can’t hide from the comments now they have been exposed to a nation wide audience.
Thank you Stephen Rowe.

Rowey knew full well it would be picked up by a wider audience

He’s not the fool he plays

 

[Milo Cyrus]

How has Dowling only just debuted? Rocks in their heads this mob of selectors.

What part of this is wrong Mutineer

 

[Sanders]

Borlase went past him in 2 games as both a KPF and KPD, absolutely no need for him on our list anymore.

One of the things that makes Petty valuable is that he’s a true swingman; maybe Borlase is making him less of a need

 

[Mutineer]

What part of this is wrong Mutineer

The only time Matt's been ordinary for any extended period was when the club were fooking around poking needles in his groins instead of getting the surgery done, also didn't help that they tried to change his gamestyle to a more outside game instead of accepting he's an inside mid/1st possession player, a bloody good one.

 

[Sanders]

Ugly

Schoenberg - whatever talent he had is gone through injuries and I reckon a lack of real desire to get the best out of himself. never again

This is the real key.

So in other words you agree

No.

 

[Pea Nut]

Keane looks like he is disinterested atm and he doesn’t put his body on the line. Couldn’t care if he leaves or not!

I disagree with this completely. You can see how he moves when attacking a loose or contested ball that's on the ground, that he is implementing exactly what he has been coached to do, which has been to ensure not to make contact with the head, and not to bump, especially if you are a chance of hitting them high. I think you can be sure he'd much rather attack with reckless abandon, but it's been coached out of him to avoid giving away free kicks or getting suspended.

 

[Pea Nut]

Has to be worth a mention that our game plan and ball movement put Noah Balta
