Review The joke, the fools and the jester vs Suns

[Geoffa32]

Mate, he's not AFL fit, is 4-5 kgs away from being strong enough as a KPP .....playing his 3rd game

No-ones career has been killed, being blooded well B4 he deserves

I get that.


He could be an ok KPD.


I just see the attributes of an elite agile KPF.


Love to see him live and see how he moves. From TV he just looks like a guy who would rather hit the ball on the lead, than hit the back of someone's head.


I am not saying it was a bad pick. Or to drop him. Just play him up forward.

And get some games into Butts. Who is a true defender.

He's not staying, won't re-sign another contract with us, see if we can get a good deal

Says who?

 

[pjcrows]

I had a family lunch. Was watching the updates and could help but laugh.

This seems like a pretty simple question but is it worth watching the replay for the young kids, or just let this one go through to the keepers?

DO NOT WATCH

Hey Everyone

Lets not forget the Suns have another 2 years Of draft concessions to go
The AFC slide down the draft order last year courtesy of the VFL....with more to come !!!

So stop dreaming of a "fair" go and a "rebuild"

Your in the comp for your money....the VFL thankyou (actually the AFC thankyou...as they are VFL cronnies) ...SO all you members are nothing but brainless fools....if you all left....we would get concessions to get the money back in.

As it stands you all cough up to the VFL....so stop whingeing and take what you deserve.

Your? not we? slip up a bit there troll???

The good:
I made money.

The bad:
Not as much as I could.

The ugly:
Those 3 hours I will never get back. Thanks.

Sportsbet giving me an error code when I put my bet on.

 

[WheresGroomgone]

I didn't mind Matt Crouch or Laird today. Just had no mates.

Really Laird was woeful.

 

[hey shorty]

He's an ordinary player, and has never been anything more than that for the club, why do you continue to defend him?

Like a dog with a bone you are hey, I feel sorry for you

 

[Baird]

Thought you guys were unlucky

Worth watching for the young kids

Rowell King Luko Ainsworth Budarick all very exciting

 

[NTRabbit]

Really Laird was woeful.

OUr entire back line, the stopping part and the rebound part, are suffering badly under the horrendous shower of shit that is our midfield - constantly letting the ball in under low pressure, not running to offer options for the rebound. Defence isn't remotely worth concentrating on right now given the problems midfield and forward.

 

[Redline]

Im worried for Nicks. Lack of cattle or not, there is no excuse for the way we are playing. I know its early days to make a call on him but gee for the players to not respond to a new coach or even show signs of wanting to impress is speaking volumes.

They haven't responded even pre season. I had my concerns in the trial games. He hasn't brought anything new to the group and he can't motivate them. He was selected as he looked good on paper, but it doesn't mean much until you are in the chair.

I think unfortunately he is way out of his depth as a Senior Coach. He is a Mark Neeld or Brenden Boulton type.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Himmelburg is not up to it, can't waste games on him.

McAdam, Galluci, Schoenberg, Oconnor, Worrell, McPherson are the talented ones who need games.

I was meaning Schoenberg

 

[Thetrader15]

I watched but and pieces, but wow, Seed looked really lazy. He almost ran away from Suns players when they had the ball.

He has to go!

 

[craig crowing]

That super draft in 2018 - how badly did we screw that.

One time I wanted to be wrong but felt so deflated with the draft hand we had with 3 picks in top 20 where we wasted it on 2 very smalls and gave pick 19 away . Could see no logic in picking Jones over others but could see no logic in why picked McHenry when did and all last year and games given this year shown just has not got body or any skill assets for AFL that his pick deserved and every week build him up because he is lippy and has some aggression.
But posters like Mutineer will still us going to be champion.
McAsey Doedee, Hamill ,Fogarty maybe Jones McPherson are some hopefully give us some light at end of season with something to look forward to.
What the hell happened to Smith and especially Laird.
But Murphy almost beat Hampton for the worst ever game for Crows.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

You forgot B Crouch from that list

I thought he was ok today, better than Matt and Sloane

 

[MRB37]

honestly Davis needs to play instead of Murphy, McAdam ahead of Lynch and Scholl instead of Seedsman

we cannot waste another year om not getting games into young players

Murphy is a tough one because I've never doubted if he's trying, but he's another Petrenko in that he's all effort and not much else. If that effort doesn't translate into anything, then what is the point of it?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I think the worst part of that performance is just how unnecessary it was. This is not a quality team that will bounce back. This is a team that is finished. We ignored that and they put out the same performance as Port.

Good:

Hamill - the kid looks like he'll be an absolute jet if he can keep the confidence up.
McAsey - Got a bath, made some mistakes, but kept his head up. Kids got a good head on his shoulders.
Doedee - Ok we can now say confidently that the ACL hasn't ruined him. Was a rock.

???

I liked Keays last quarter, kicked an excellent goal in particular. Still, I'm not sure if he'll make it. Gets two more games for me.
Jones has some excellent core strength, but really just had a dirty game.
McHenry struggled, but honestly, I'd have him ruck roving next week. He was hungry in the last quarter.
Fogarty - Kicked a nice goal but he wasn't going to do anything this game.

Bad:
ROB - got slaughtered by one of the best rucks in the league.

The rest, I can't be bothered writing about. That said, what is startling is just how we're not a team. There is no happiness, excitement etcetera. A big challenge for Nicks and another sign that we're overrun by self centred senior players who are here for a paycheck.

Who are our franchise players going forward .....the next Macleod or Ricciuto or Modra

IMO .....maybe only Fogarty, but we have some very good players, we just need to be patient with .....but these thrashing are really bad for development ....real bad

Fogarty

Jones

McHenry

McAsey

I'm a big fan of Himmelberg, just a giraffe that needs to grow into his body ....also really like Ronin O’Connor as a big bodied mid, and McAdam / Shoenburg

So we have a lot of talent to develop ....but the Crouch Bros simply cannot be part of plans going forward

 

[Thetrader15]

I was meaning Schoenberg

Schoenberg, McAdam for Atkins, Seed next week for me.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Murphy is a tough one because I've never doubted if he's trying, but he's another Petrenko in that he's all effort and not much else. If that effort doesn't translate into anything, then what is the point of it?

Murphy in a good side is excellent .....he'll struggle in a side like today's

 

[Murray2503]

Nothing against Nicks but I had no faith that Chapman, Riccuito, Fagan would pick the right coach. Should have been anyone other than them.

 

[Fivel_79]

Tom Doedee clearly our next Captain.

 

[Idontpullout]

He's not staying, won't re-sign another contract with us, see if we can get a good deal

Source?
And don't say the look on his face when he got drafted.
Ben King looked like he had just won a one way ticket to North Korea when he got drafted and he re-signed.

 

[footy4ever]

The ugly
The years and years and years of shitfulness ahead for Crows supporters.

We play Brisbane next week.
At the Gabba!
In front Of 10000 screaming Brisbane supporters.
Oh joy.

Unfortunately he has a bit of a Bolton vibe about him. Hope I’m very wrong

 

[Crow till I die]

Where is the link to nick's press conference..i assuming he did one after the game?
