Game Day Round 12 - West Coast Eagles vs Adelaide Crows - Saturday 11:45am, Adelaide Oval

[Crimson King]

One thing is for sure, out of all this shitshow, we can be pretty certain Hough will be an above average long term player for us. Huge win from the recruitment team.

 

[BartBart]

We’ll be better in the bye

Bye by 56 points to make it 9 weeks in a row, somehow

So an improvement?

On ABC radio this morning Duff asked Matty Knights whether we'd give some of the younger mids a go at the stoppages. Knights said he is a big advocate of throwing them in there and is pressing hard for it. Errrrrrrmmmmmmmmm, pretty sure they're not getting a crack at all. Or is he saying Simmo just overrules the midfield coach?

If I was the midfield coach of this lot I would be hiding

 

[KaaL]

Is Simpson really the right coach to get us out of this rut? I don’t even think he’s a good developer of youth.

 

[Free Agent]

Once or twice a game one of our experienced players will do something good and you're reminded that they are AFL standard. And then that's it for the game.

It's truly bizarre watching us atm.

It's a hunger thing and you can't teach or coach that. We have a lot of seniors just wanting to call time on there careers sadly and right now it's all about just turning up for the money.

Nisbett turning Simmo pre game.

 

[ziad]

I am looking forward the next week WAFL game- problem is last week was depressing.

 

[BartBart]

We just don't seem to be trying even minor changes.

Even doing the stand 5m behind the mark to stop the opposition running past the man on the mark or the short handball that gets the quick transition that we constantly can't stop.

Let's stop doing the same thing & expecting a different result.

 

[Wellillbe]

Cripps not having been dropped over the last 3 years is indicative of the lack of standards at the club rn.

 

[joeyavalanche]

Better signs that quarter. We need to just stick to what we are doing. I think the second half will be strong, we’ll come home with a wet sail

The only thing wet we’ll be coming home with is our socks and boots

 

[18082015]

Don’t worry guys
At least one day we will be able to say
At least we’re not as f$&@ed as in 2022

This is grating to me. Other teams, FAST running teams aren’t even bothering to man the mark. We are slow and still stand on the mark like it’s 2007 still

 

[Ochre]

Not saying we're bad but the highlight for me today was overhearing a Crows fan at the urinal annoyed he'd put money on us

 

[Westend]

really what do you expect

just a gutless pathetic playing group who play the opposition back into form

So what are we going to get this 2nd half .....more of the same??

can we at least see some fight??

 

[peeky]

How does Nelson Foley Redden H Edwards Waterman have 0 tackles

Oh Joey. You certainly have been grumpy. Cheer up. It will all work out in the end

What an idiot

No he is not.

Worries me us bringing young talent into this development environment. Ressies and league both get absolute hidings week in week out. Haven't developed a good midfielder of our own in how long.......?

[Ambrose Burnside]

From playing Rioli and Jones in the guts in round one to playing Clark on a wing and Gaff in the guts the last few weeks.

Twas a brief moment but I'll savour it.

 

[Wellillbe]

Hang in there.....little wins **** me drunk
