Review Bad and Ugly vs GC

[1990crow]

That 50m penalty was an absolute disgrace. Had a big impact on the momentum in the game.

A few of our boys should probably look at other career opportunities in the near future.

Good
Jones?
Keays. Mostly.
Milera. Again, mostly.
Smith.?
Fogarty?

Bad
Sholl. Soft.
Butts. Not good enough.
Rankine. Not getting it done.
Laird and Dawson. Downhill skiers.
O'Brien. I've had enough.
McHenry. Not good enough.
Sloane. Get him to 250 then retire him. He's cooked.

Ugly
GC kicking 9 unanswered goals against us.
Can't win away from home.
Nicks putting Keays and Sloane in the middle when we were getting slaughtered and expecting a good time.
Nicks putting Murray in the ruck.
Trust in this team.
Umpiring
Commentary. Kelly should be sacked.
Having to play at venues like this 4 times in 2 months.

 

[Rotayjay]

Crows played like s**t, umpiring s**t, Underwood's commentary s**t.

To me this was almost a carbon copy of Round 1, but with every crucial umpiring decision going the opposition's way.

 

[Corvus]

I feel sick

 

[Scorpus]

I'm sure there will be some whinging about the umpires and the ground costing us

But you can't concede 9 goals in a row against a mid table side like Gold Coast and expect to win. It starts and ends there

 

[pjcrows]

We aren't ready for a final yet.

Ramp it up against our midfield and we just can't go with teams, especially away from home. Leaking I50s like a sieve, and too many passengers.

It's been a pretty bloody tough 6 weeks of footy for this group. We are getting a genuine picture of where we're at, with no easy kills. 6W 6L.

 

[Rotayjay]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu*** off. Honestly.

 

[Moonwatcher]

THE EMBLEM THE EMBLEM!!!

 

[Redline]

I think we learnt a fair bit tonight or at least confirmed what most of us knew.

Nicksy needs to improve if he wants an extension.

Michaelaney played really well.I thought.

Milera is great with the ball but just can't defend. It's a problem.

Thrillthorpe makes mistakes but still looks good.

Probably Dawson's worst game for the club.

This should be the last years for Tex and Sloane. Both really drop off in games like these when the game goes up a notch.

Keys fought hard and lifted the team, at the same time loses alot momentum.

Murphy fills a roll but he is not up to AFL standard

I've helped hope for a long time but Scholl isn't up to it.

 

[Geoffa32]

Umpiring clear bias.

But you need to take the game away from the umpires reach.

We left the door unlocked.

The umpires opened it

GC walked through it.
Then they slammed it shut.




With the help of a dodgy 50m penalty.....

Giving up massive leads twice on the road to bad teams in the same season suggests something is wrong.

The coaching staff can't keep the team playing when they feel the opportunity to coast?

 

[jackster83]

Home track bullies.

 

[LittleCrowBoy]

We let GC back into it....umpires sealed it.
Rankine choked against his old side.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

A very predictable outcome

They came hard and we had nothing. They resorted to desperate, sloppy, get it forward at all costs football and we persisted with cute millionaire football.

 

[Dirty Bird]

You know you're a bad commentator when you make Derwayne seem tolerable.

Piss off Kelli.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Fog, Jones, Keays, Smith, Milera, Dawson can hold their heads high

Not anywhere near good enough from the rest

 

[adelaidecrows]

Bad: Rachelle, is the classic downhill skiing player. Needs to learn how to win his own ball in a hard contest. Rankine was just as bad.

Ugly: Nick's just yet again never learns. Same s**t different game.
Umpires: the AFL has to have higher standards. That was poor with many of the frees being called were just outright guesses.

[The Perfect Stranger]

Where's that damn "we're handing back the license" thread.

Nowhere near being a genuine top 4 team.

Keays – c’mon enough is enough. Seriously talentless footballer. The momentum killer.

Midfield is C grade. No young A graders on the list. Pointless blowing big dollars on half back flankers.

If having to play in Darwin isn't bad enough we have to endure Kelly #$@#$ Underwood.

Umpiring - woeful.

Soligo – young but very inconsistent. Worrying.

Apart from Worrell, who should come straight back in, the depth cupboard is bare.

 

[Bovo]

I said it in the match thread. Why weren’t we wearing our white strip? It was so bloody hard to distinguish players. Doedee was a huge loss for us. We are no where near as good as we think. I just felt this loss was a matter of giving up. When things were going our way, the boys had plenty of energy. When we started losing the battle, the players looked beat across the ground. This was a really bad loss

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Nicks going to the bench made little to no difference at all. He looked just as confused and rudderless as the players themselves.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Also - fair to say not selecting Worrell was a terrible move?

We obviously were consistently giving up too much height and a lack of intercept in defence tonight

 

[dogs105]

Good:
Jones
Pedlar around the ball
FOG'S set shots.
Keays' endeavour.

Bad:
Hinge not being in the same postcode as Lukosius twice in a row.
Tex's fumble

Ugly:
RoB
Umpiring
Midfield

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

It's a worry that in two crunch quarters this year Q4 vs Collingwood and now Q4 vs Gold Coast we have rolled over in the middle of the ground.

 

[SugarShane]

Could see Tex was mentally off from the get go. Yes he kicked 2 goals but instead of attacking the ball he spent 90% of the night looking to body his opponent and getting soundly beaten.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Fog, Chayce…, Keays at times…no one else really.

Can we please not play in ducking Darwin again.
