Good, Bad, Ugly v Collingwood

[Mike Smyth]

Over the last two decades the personal change but the script seems to be the same. Is there like a hidden football 101 book that all must follow.

 

[Braybrook Son]

As opposed to the Bulldogs fans who just never arrive?

40,500 last week after 2 smashings? I think we turn up

 

[RePete]

It's happened before and it will happen again.

We all know it.

We need to end this now.

Yes we can blindly keep pushing on, we might even make finals, but we will not win the premiership and we all know this same game will repeat itself.

No matter how good or bad they played tonight the careers of dmac, Dougie and JJ should simply be ended. We need to be proactive and usher in the next generation.

I'd rather loose in the short term and have a chance at ultimate glory than die the slow death of mediocrity.

That's more a decision that needs to be made later in the year. 5 weeks from now only Smith may be our only best-22 player on our injury list. We will have Brad, Matt in the team, with Gibson, Keath and Cheney available for selection and things could start looking very positive for us. Many of the cogs in our team don't move unless they have another cog to move them along. If we move along our senior players at the wrong time, then our premiership window will close and we will become a useless middle-tier team.

IMO we can probably move one mid on at the end of year; Sloane if we get fair trade-value. Keep players like Dougie and Dmac because they are cheap. Dougy is still more than effective most the time.

Just. So. Soft.

Good:
It's only round 4

Okay:
Douglas
McGovern
Gibbs

Bad:
Atkins
Jenkins
Walker
Betts
Sloane
Jacobs
Hartigan
Brown
Talia
Mackay
Seedsman
Fogarty
Pyke

You’re crazy.

Douglas was shit. Seedsman was great.

Why on earth are you talking of rebuilding the club after one loss?

Because this sort of embarrassing loss to a bad side on your home turf can be the making or breaking of a side.

I dont feel we are acknowledging how embarrassing this is.

It was Collingwood, at home. They haven't even beaten port here. They are not a good side, with a lot of injuries.

They belted us.
We are lucky it wasn't 100 points we were that poor.

 

[The Texan]

I’m ready for a clean out.. get what we can for Sloane and Lynch, bring in young SA boys.. you can’t wait till you fall completely off before you clean out the rubbish.. Do it now

Would rather be Khloe Kardashian than a Crows member

 

[Mike Smyth]

Brisbane were riddled with injuries when Burton left. It's taken him a full year but he's ****** up oursquad now too. Needs to fall on his sword.

Job for life. Isn't he like a General Manager now? The Adelaide Football Club - where dreams do come true.

 

[Lawrst]

Crows could of done with the man in your avatar tonight... harder than every crow player put together.

Fog looks like he'll be right, til we ruin his aggressiveness.

 

[hey shorty]

40K wow.

 

[Firewalker]

And Sauce is cooked

Well he’s become a weird concoction of a player, he’s a slow 200+cm player that seems to be more focused on wanting to play as a outside midfielder who has pretty looking disposals instead of doing good ruck work and getting contested clearances and other run of the mill ruckman stuff

 

[pjcrows]

If we dropped everyone who was sore we'd be debuting Ben Davis, Matt Signorello and Jackson Edwards this week.

 

[Interloperer]

Would love to see one act of aggressiveness from Fogarty that isn't something along the lines of "Well I can't take a mark in this contest, but I sure as hell can give away a 50m penalty."

 

[Crowhorse]

This is one of the reasons I stay away from the board after a loss.

Take it for what it was, a bad loss. The sun will come up tomorrow and we go again Friday.

Yet here you are.

Optimism is required when you have a lot of problems out of your control.

Criticism and self evaluation is needed when the problems arise from your own mistakes, or we don’t get better.

 

[Deaneus!]

If we dropped everyone who was sore we'd be debuting Ben Davis, Matt Signorello and Jackson Edwards this week.

Would happily debut any two of these guys

And how many of those were Essendon supporters?

Id say a GF loss would do more damage than this.

Granted it was a poor loss, and probably hurts more after the year we had last year, but Jesus lets not go crazy and sack all and sundry.

Pyke will regroup and we will learn from this.

 

[latinoheat]

We have now discovered our mid field depth is lacking- CEY not up to AFL, Greeny not up to AFL - we miss M Crouch and Sauce is over rated

Think we can play one in the team at a time . They are too similar in the way they play they seem to get in each other’s way.

 

[Mike Smyth]

Smashed tonight but Sam Jacobs is the least of our problems.

 

[pjcrows]

My point is, we're so banged up and sore that Poholke and Dear would also be debuting. You can't debut 5 blokes.

Way to go Nana. Keep supporting "our boys" no matter what.

People.know that Burton isn't our head of fitness right? Not that I don't think there's a problem, but the fitness program is not overseen by Bird.

 

[hey shorty]

Fog looks like he'll be right, til we ruin his aggressiveness.

He's suited to 20 years ago. Seems more intent on exerting physical pressure rather than getting the ball.

Not an awful thing, but he needs to channel it.

You can, it’s just that you usually lose.

Since we’re going to lose anyway next week, why not?
