Review R18: Adelaide v Essendon post-mortem (...please don't disturb our team, we're dead tired)

[douglyzia]

What's the odds teams are just going to be told to run against us for the rest of the year?

 

[Mike Smyth]

Surely there should be a few calls made for next week. Why wait till the end of the season.
At this point we won't play finals with this 22 anyway so why not give a few kids a go.

You will not see wholesale changes. Pyke and co are coaching for their careers now so they will not take any "risks". They will take the safe approach and stick with the players they know and trust. We will keep heading South but we will continue to play players clearly past their prime.

I had Brad and Smith comfortably in our best, they played great individual games, Smith in particular......

But we don't have midfielders who play a team game.

Was Smith even playing midfield? He was mostly up forward.

Brad besides the odd hack was good but he’s not clean. I’d trade Matt.

 

[Murray2503]

Why was Stengle dropped??

His age. Needed to kick 10 goals last week to keep his spot.

 

[Elite Crow]

Why was Stengle dropped??

Because he’s not 30

 

[Crows123]

Heat map suggest otherwise.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

He never has been able to.

Watch the oppo, they don't tag us... They throw a quick mid onto Matt and exploit him.

No point tagging a Crouch brother since they can't kick. Sloane gets tagged because he's more dangerous overall and wins the hard ball. Brouch does that too but Matt hasn't been this season, tackling from him has dropped right off this year.

 

[PrideoSA]

Let's do a Pykey and back them to respond........

“because that’s the beauty of our game”

Don’s rhetoric

 

[CrowBloke]

We will 'back the boys in to respond' and the same will be dished up next week.

... after they've selected the same boys to respond ...

 

[feenix67]

Like your mate Pete the other day get double f’ed, at least Pete's a decent bloke not an a-hole like you.

Sorry Mrs Crouch...

PS Petes an arseh*le too, he wants both your boys gone

That means the board needs to step in surely.

 

[Scrogdogg]

Imagine if Sauce didn't get injured, we'd never have discovered what ROB was capable of.

Imagine if a big slice of the club was outed. We would then discover what we are truly capable of.

I'd be leaning to trade him too, but Tex won't allow it.

Smith was in and around the midfield a fair bit, you don't have 31 and 3 in our forwardline

anyone got a link to the Frauds presser?

Without Matt, and Sloane being tagged, we wouldn't win a centre clearance.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

2 years ago it was and there is enough young talent coming through

Our older players are two years older now and mostly past it.

 

[Bicks]

Sorry Mrs Crouch...

PS Petes an arseh*le too, he wants both your boys gone

I'll do better I'll be gone arseh*le.

 

[hey shorty]

That means the board needs to step in surely.

The board are giving that instruction.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Was anyone else disgusted with Hartigan running forward for a handball receive in the 1st quarter instead of shepherding for Kelly, which resulted in a goal?

He's got some good points to his game but is absolutely clueless when he has to think quickly

 

[rocket18]

Yet again all those numpties who came in to the changes thread "came for the melts, not disappointed " are feeling like fools yet again.

This is what happens with idiots in charge of selection.

They (at least Pyke) will get the arse next year. I suppose you all will say THEN "I didn't think he was much chop "

Fucling apricot guzzling numpties.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Is this our fitness regime at work

Burton chased away Bode

 

[Ben98]

We won't beat Carlton next week and we would struggle to beat almost every other team, that our situation at the moment

Anyone got a link to the press conference? Cheers.

No point winning it if they go to the defenders
