Game Day ROUND TWO: Pies vs Crows @ MCG 1.15p.m. ACDT 26/03/22

[footy4ever]

Vintage Crows on the MCG effort

Will get within a goal or 2 in the last then shit the bed, been seeing it happen since 1990

Ha! If only! We won’t be within a bulls roar in the last so no danger of shitting the bed.

 

[WAG]

I have an idea, let’s develop a game plan of chipping 20m when we have the worst foot skills in the AFL. Classic AFC.

 

[Scorpus]

Winning clearances, disposals, and evened up contested ball.

Job done boys, go home. We're hitting the only KPIs we care about

 

[CrowinNT]

There are some careers ending today

Crouch ?

 

[arsene wenger1]

I don’t want to harp on this but I just can’t cop this jumper.

Serious Neil Craig vibes

I’d take neil Craig vibes right now

 

[ams4crows]

Wearing dreaded red...

The yellow was better not sure why we changed it

 

[AmericanCrow]

Just the Nicks era? We've had some of the worst goalkicking in the league since the Ayres days.

I dunno, seems much much worse under this regime

I am unsure what, if anything, they do all offseason

 

[Southerntakeover]

Would it actually hurt for the collective team to actually play like they care?

fu**, we've regressed even from last year. This is a nothing Collingwood side.

Last week was an awful Freo team at home, but people thought getting close was super inspiring.

Gross.

 

[robboaustralia]

Has Berg got Mackays photos?

 

[AFC979810]

Can't fault the effort.

We are trying really hard. We just arent that good at footy.

 

[jackster83]

I think we might still be quite shit

If not for Tex dragging us over the line a few times, we would have convincingly won the spoon again last year.

If we continue to refuse to address the midfield, we're not going to get better.

 

[mulz]

Gee whiz.. sigh

The endeavour is there but skills terrible

I'm glad we have laid out the red carpet for the Collingwood midfielders to stream thru the middle whenever they want

Continually as soon as the ball is in a contested situation all the mids push forward and when we don't win it it leaves us utterly exposed the other way and the opposition gets a free run to send the ball inside their 50.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Game day thread is better entertainment than the game.

 

[Geoffa32]

The yellow was better not sure why we changed it

I have no good memories in a red jumper.

A lot of bad ones.

And yeah yellow looks better.

Nicks needs to start to work out which players do the fundamentals well, and can play with a bit if composure, and which players can't

It's the lack of composure and not doing the fundamentals consistently well which is costing the team

At the moment we are a team that causes so much self harm in ourself

Should have been doing this a couple of seasons ago.

 

[AmericanCrow]

How is it's Nicks fault that his players can't kick goals from directly in front, it's all on the players, take ownership of your kicking ability

How about practice

 

[aabp1978]

Goal kicking is honestly a killer for a below average team like ours..knocks out of the game before it even begins

 

[dogs105]

That is crisp. He looks like Stephen Rowe and Adam Saliba’s love child

There's definitely some Rowe genes in there...

 

[Slippery Pete]

There's definitely some Rowe genes in there...

Yep, from the back, same gait

 

[morris086]

Great point by Bucks.

Kids don't have a Footy in hand as much anymore.

Leads to poor techniques as adult.

Irish players seem to do alright though?

Gross.

Not me. I thought it was shit.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

He picks them week in week out

 

[Southerntakeover]

Any tall defenders, or small forwards we can select with the number one pick?

Our 2026 midfield is already set with Sloane, Crouch, Laird. Dynamic.
