View Full Version : 9.12 to 5.4 in the second half

Conversion will determine whether we win a flag next week.
We just need to start putting a few more through the big sticks.
We dominated the second half, but the game was ultimately decided in the last minute.
For us to work so hard, but still rely on a fair slice of luck is a worry.
Even in that last quarter, I can think of at least 3 occasions where we just fumbled and bumbled when we should have landed the knock-out blow.
The Swans will hurt us if we're as clumsy next week.

In all reality I thought the wind caused us trouble all day. The boys didnt know where to kick it. We do need to improve our accuracy though. Hopefully the conditions next week will suit us more

I think you guys are dreaming. Sydney have the same psycological advantage over you that u do over us. :)
We have a good side, just not top 2 at the moment but in a few years we will. You guys played ok today but don't be fooled because you pretty much just capatilised on us turning over the ball. You didnt do anything magnificent did you??
I was at the game and the umpiring wasn't to bad but it wasn't great either , where was the free kick for a holding the ball in our forward 50?? Where was Burton's free kick for clearly over the shoulder and in tha face?? Goldspink was umpiring need I say more? He calls them from his hotel room in a different state the guy is the worst umpire the game has ever seen, so dont think a couple of those decisions didn't aid you in your win!
What about the rebounce that should have occured after Ellis bounced in absolutley terrible that just so happened to result in guess what lol?? Surprise surprise another goal for you guys, also what was with the last free kick in the last 30 seconds isn't it convenient the absolute gun Goodwin:) is about to send the ball into our foward 50 for a mark before the siren and guess who?? That's right, Goldspink calls yet another free kick. :) Bull****! How he is ever given a game I will have no idea but kudos on picking up a 23rd player. lol :) No, I'm just kidding with you Eagles no harm, no foul, good luck next week you're going to need it. :) Go you Swannies, they're on fire.
Edited for clarity, must be dealing with a primary school kid.

WC have won 6 of their last 7 against the Crows.
Those 6 wins include two PFs, three games at AAMI and one 82-point hiding when you guys were flying and we were undermanned.
By comparison, WC and Sydney have gone W-L-W-L over their last 11 games, and the last four encounters have been decided by less than a goal.
Can you walk me through that parallel?

I think our inaccuracy is not so much due to our goalkicking ability, but how we enter the forward 50. Because our players often lead to the pockets and our F50 can at times get congested, our players are forced to take quick snaps on goal or line up from crude angles.
If we were a bit more direct I think we'd be a much more dangerous side.

I believe that we can beat Sydney easily but they never seem too and some has to do with our accuracy. I believe the MCG will benifit our backs much more than Subi.
It was a high pressured game with not great weather, therefore it was going to be hard to score goals, both sides were desperate which made it even harder. The only goal that should have being kicked was RoJo, but that was suspected;)

Let us also not forget that the only loss to the Crows was in the 'nothing' game in round 22 last season (where by the way, their captain got himself suspended and single handedly ruined their finals campaign - so who really lost that game?).

The propensity of the Eagles to kick points rather than goals and the remarkable ability of the players to hit the goalposts has me worried !

How much of a factor was the wind with those kicks ?
One of the kicks in the last quarter looked over and it was a bit rough to get paid as touched.

You play on too big a home ground to play Sydney's game.
That is why you fail.

How was round 22 last year a nothing game??
It was for minor premiership and unlike you lot when you lose judd and blame him for your absolutley disgraceful loss to port adelaide, lol, which is just sad on its own. :)
We don't blame losing our chance at a grand final back then cause of ROO, that's not what we think. He is older and on his way out, its all about the young players now. All I'm saying guys is you can't say you played well today, we let you have it. We lead the entire game and just had 1 bad quarter of footy that cost us the match so dont be under any false assumptions that your some unreal team because you're not.
Unbeatable Sydney will show you how its done on saturday. You guys should stop always relying on your ass kissing players, like Judd and Cousins. They're very good but eventually they won't be there and then who will you have to rely on?? You guys often blame your losses on injury's but we dont!
No one said anything about Hudson, Roo, Hentschel, Jerico, Mcgregor or that other half a team we have missing, because you can win with any team regardless.
If it wasnt for a poor 3rd quarter we would be playing in a grand final with virtually only half a side, so I'm proud of the boys, and like I said good luck next week you will need it.

I'll try to summarise what is basically the unreadable;
1) Eagles are in Grand Final
2) Adelaide choked (yet again)
PS - Port fans would be having a field day considering the rubbish that Crows fans were dumping on Port not so long ago.

Rubbish, we never blamed the loss of Judd for our loss to Port Adelaide, you are just making it up to troll.

Adelaide let us have the game? What crap are you on? Adelaide were simply not good enough to beat us. So you had one quarter of bad football and blame it on that? Diddums. Try thinking about our first half. If we played like we played in the second half in the first half, the game would have been over at half time.

Unbeatable Sydney are beatable. Only a fool would think Sydney have the game in the bag. As for Judd and Cousins, they are players you wished you had in your side. Sorry, your rubbish is of no significance.
No one said anything about Hudson, Roo, Hentschel, Jerico, Mcgregor or that other half a team we have missing, because you can win with any team regardless.

Just accept you lost, you team was not up to it and the Eagles are a far better side. As for your wishes, stick them where the sun don't shine and try watching a game of football from a non biased point of view and you might learn what the game is really about. How old are you? Eight, nine?
