Opinion Non-Crows AFL 9

[TubbsFarquhar]

I heard we have lost 7 out of 8 of our last 1st round games... but haven't verified.

Six out of seven.

2018: Loss to Essendon
2019: Loss to Hawthorn
2020: Loss to Sydney
2021: Win against Geelong
2022: Loss to Fremantle
2023: Loss to GWS
2024: Loss to Gold Coast

Gold Coast absolutely poleaxed by the Dogs in then first quarter after beating us last week

2024: Loss to Gold Coast

Even missing the 1st (zero) round this year didn't help us...

We must have the worst 1st game record in the AFL.

 

[GROTTO]

Lol, we're coming up to 30 years without a flag.

Literaaly any club could win a flag before us- especially those with a decent coach.

Would be funny for the lols, if SA got a third license and that team won a flag before the Crows.

That win against the Cats was their Grand Final hangover game too and late start to preseason.


EDITED BECAUSE OF MISTAKE.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

That win against the Cats was their Premiership hangover game too. They were probably still celebrating their flag on the flight to Adelaide.

Richmond were reigning premiers that year, Geelong were runners-up.

Port kissed on the dick as usual. No peter Wright for their game in a few weeks and no Lever or May next week. How has this club not won a flag in the last 5 years?

Thank God it wasnt a Fun Fact.

FFS today there were two guys at my gym today wearing Port jumpers while they were working out.

You can always tell its March in Adelaide.

Thought mutineer might have brought it up.

Normally keeps us abreast of all droppings/ bad performances of past players. Wish we kept Brad and traded Sloane for a packet of chips instead, hope gets his mojo back. Think he had sub 20 disposals round 1, not sure if he was subbed off/on.

 

[GROTTO]

Suns performance today, highlights just how bad we were to lose to them.

Agree. The Bullies touching GC up atm. GC should have beaten us easily last week. Sad where the AFC is at the moment.

 

[1970crow]

May with broken ribs by the looks..... If he misses two weeks that's really our only shot of having a win against Melbourne

Still in hospital I think they said at half time.

 

[1970crow]

Didn't really get rolled in the midfield though - we won clearances, centre clearances, inside 50s, disposals etc... pretty much every stat. We got dominated by Geelong's defensive setup, so missing a couple of great defenders might make a difference.

Obviously still have to deal with Melbourne's midfield though which is quite a bit better than what Geelong had yesterday.

LOL, another who values midfield contributions by looking at stats. We dine out on the stats but our midfield does next to nothing compared to their opponents.

Geelong were +14 from scores from stoppage. All those stats but completely ineffective and touched up by a much more efficient Geelong

We absolutely were beaten in the midfield in the only thing that matters which is effectiveness

From what I’ve seen so far:

At home, confident we are better than WCE, North, Hawthorn, Richmond

Away, we are better than WCE.

I have no faith against any other team home and away.

 

[spenze]

Pretty jealous watching the Bulldogs ruck take marks

Gulden has a leg

Don’t we all?

Least important position on the field

2022, 2023 and 2024

We have lost the first two games each year and then won the third (in 2022 and 2023 both were showdowns).

Unfortunately, NM in Hobart and we double up on the Hawks. Richmond even at AO is 50-50 imho. In Malborne no way.

You really have to wonder if the Suns are ever going to become good.

Yes, they're better than us currently but that's setting a very low bar.
