What, he meant to bounce the ball but it stuck to his hands?

There needs to be an inquiry
Exactly, its a little suspicious don't you think, maybe he had a punt going the other way.
He is supposed to be pretty handy at tennis.
Surely the drop him call is a joke. But seriously his kicking disposal is a worry.

The way danger took off from the backline and burst through the lines and tried to win the game was bloody disgrace. I hate seeing blokes do that.

Sorry for the intrusion.
You have to understand that having had little success for near on 20 years and having a top 5 player in the league (without high draft picks) along with a young and fairly promising list, we were pretty excited at a potential rise to be a contender.
Our best player being taken away at this time really stings hard (he was my favourite player since his debut) and also because of the fact that we didn't get a chance at relative compensation due to free agency. Add in the loss of Bock, Davis, Gunston and Tippett.
There's a lot of over the top crows fans who need to move on, I agree. But surely it's to be expected of a passionate fan base? After all, you guys had just seen plenty of success that ablett helped you achieve where as we have had stuff all.
Good luck to him. I hold no grudges (apart from a redundant 32 guernsey) and respect his decision to move for family reasons.

You queens of the drama need to settle down. This years he's 68% over the two games.

Some reasonable reasons there..but you must also remember that it was FA that allowed Betts to get to your club. How much did you give to Car for him? Did they get fair recompense? You had a chance to match and then traded PD. We had no such ability with Ablett.. so there is never a exact comparison for an trade. The players you have for him at least give you a chance to get some long term value. All the best..as long as you don't play us.
Aren't we blaming Lloydy for that?Blame Scott
Why are you quoting my post? I think he is the best player in the team.You queens of the drama need to settle down. This years he's 68% over the two games.
Compare with the following.
Betts was on the outer at Carlton and Adelaide offered him a contract which Carlton never intended to match. Betts has never played better football since moving to the Crows.
Could never have imagined there would be a more stark contrast of fortunes for both clubs and Patty himself from R1 to 2.
We lose to a good side by 10 points and there's the media's proof losing Patty will kill us. You beat the reigning premier and Patty is supreme - he's the difference.
This week reality bites, we can play well without him, you can lose with him and he can have quiet periods.
Bottom line - we all know that so much of what is written and spoken is rubbish, footy is ultimately a team sport and 1 champion does not a premiership make. It takes the sum of a whole range of parts.
Patty is a champ, but we never won a flag with him, and neither will Geelong unless a whole group of players follow his lead.

Given Adelaide supporters feel they have free reign to come on here and pot one of the best players in the competition after his team loses a game, I assume I have free reign to go and rub their noses in it every time we win and Patrick plays well?

They are being watched and on a very short leash.
Constructive debate is one thing. Anything else wont be here long. Neither will they.

Head home to their families??
Raving about his performance last week wasn't rubbish. It was accurate
It's a funny thing how people want to delete the past because of what happens in the future.
Losing this week doesn't make his or our performance last week any less impressive. It means we weren't impressive this week.

You never heard Cats' supporters bagging GAJ when he left for Gold CoastHere we go... Crows fans coming in to tell us he really isn't that good
You may well be right... but Ade did not send any comp at all towards Car. It was the system, the one they are unhappy with that allowed him to go there. Why did Car let him go... I suspect it was probably a Frawley type deal..they like the pick they were going to get. The whole system has swings and roundabouts... and sooner or later you will lose one if you gain one. We will too.
