Review NAB Challenge Adelaide v Port Adelaide

[Rusty Crow]

Have to disagree. Port are on a whole other level of stupidity. They always have been. 'Never tear us apart'.

There were a couple of numpties sitting behind me that said Port should move back to footy park because AO was too far from Alberton oval to travel back after games. They could brand footy park better than AO because Crows get an unfair advantage with the oval name. It got worse the longer they went on...

On brighter news that 32 bloke can play a bit if only he could kick better.
We look to be headed in the right direction.

We either took our foot off or ran out of legs in the last.

Anyone have a link to stats for both league and reserves? Or just league even.

Struggling to find them

It's hard enough finding SANFL stats for a regular game, let alone a practice match.

Thought T Lynch's game was very good, been a bit under rated.

Wish he had about 10-15 m extra in his kick - but he's effective

Yep, he's lucky to kick it 45m at times. Fair cry from guys like Sloane booting it 65m off of 1 step!

 

[Houston]

Don't have any issue with this but looking at how Lowden moved whist at Hawthorn, he is not mobile enough to play as a second or third forward. His agility doesn't allow him to get out on the lead. His level of moblity is a stay at home forward in the goal square and thjen be a full time ruck.

Therefore, it's Jenkins as a 85% forward and 15% back up ruck and his 40 goals a season will be excellent.

That's odd because our coaches were surprised by how quick he was before he had the injury.

Linear running and lateral running are very different.

Playing as a ruchman and running in a stright line wouldn't be a problem, however when he has to run and change direction - it would be like trying to get the QE2 to change direction.

Not that I'm disagreeing but how many times have you seen Lowden play to come up with the assessment he isn't agile?

Rowie and Rooch both went down after the concert to "inspect" the oval. All Rooch could report is that it was "sandy" while Rowie said it was "cherry ripe". Make of that what you will.

The ground was extremely sandy you could see it go everywhere when players would land. The boundaries were also really far in compared to 2013, definitely caused a few mis kicks on the wings

 

[andrew webster]

Had a great time watching the game yesterday and I'm pleased that Adelaide Crows registered the win. Go Adelaide the Crows.

 

[spenze]

Were there any knickers on the oval left over from the One Direction concert?

Nope, you sniffed them all out the first time

Adelaide the Crows? Fooling no one Rucci. Why are you here?

 

[andrew webster]

Typo calm down. Stop calling me Rucci you muggins

Patronising w***er.

Been to 2 or 3 trainings and watched box hill once last year and his game for the Hawk.

What was your most pleasing aspect of the game?

 

[andrew webster]

Not true mate. You just have a set against me and want to twist everything to suit how you want to view me.

It takes a lifetime to build a reputation, and only a second to lose to.

If you really are not Rucci, you should start a new account with a new reputation. Then you can understand why and how you went wrong. However, if you are just going to post crap, your crap will get called out.

 

[andrew webster]

What was your most pleasing aspect of the game?

Good forward pressure from Adelaide, Port often well pinned in their 50. CEY great in the contest, as were Adelaide generally, and good forward distribution as well.

Would have liked to see more composure in front of goal and maybe a bit less of the handball.

And I've sat near fellow crows supporters that I've had to move away from.
In any case, the discussion was about the Adelaide and Port BF boards and the incessant need some posters have to claim the moral high ground. It's boring and meaningless no matter who's doing it.

 

[halfback dasher]

Lowden could not do that.

He is a semi traylor, not a B line bus. He is not agile enough to plsy that role.

You have no idea , the kids 6.9 in the old and he is more agile than NicNac , also has run down mids while at BH ,below his knee's he's has good as it get's for his size ( find the footage of his goal v Geelong in the 2013 VFL GF ) ......pace and agility are far from his weakness's !!
Now if you had said he has no idea how to play as a KPF id be the first to agree .....

Hopefully he can prove me wrong. But i won't be holiding my breath.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Unfortunately Lowden isn't fit because if he could supply a contest I'd be developing Jenkins as a KPD in the state league

So Lowden to replace JJ? Righteo. How many goals did Lowden kick last year? 37 less than JJ.

So we recruited Lowden to do a Graham and never play him? Jenkins needs some internal competiton to pull his finger out.

Rowie like chocolates and Rooch felt a familiarity.

I wonder how many goals Jenkins would have kicked at Hawthorn with all their tall forwards in front of him?

So you were at the game?

There was no number 32 for Port. Butcher has worn 11 since 2014.

'We' or 'adelaide' or both ?
