Game Day NAB Round 1 Crows v Kangaroos, 1 March @ 4.10

[RePete]

Still feels a little like every kick forward is to a contest. I'm sure that's an area we're working on though.

The oval is small compared to regular AFL ovals.

 

[Scorpus]

Hey guys sorry to intrude. Good game so far, little scrappy but that to be expected. Who's missing from your best 22?

Dangerfield, Smith, Jacobs, Thompson, Douglas, and maybe Cheney and Mackay

 

[Wright Away]

Skills and structures are always rusty this time of year, all I am interested in is seeing players have a crack and apply pressure, those are the team things, the non negotiables, the things that turn a side with talented players into a premiership side.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Brown's job on L Thomas has been 1st class

starting to become a very very good small defender

 

[Vooligan]

Hey guys sorry to intrude. Good game so far, little scrappy but that to be expected. Who's missing from your best 22?

Thompson, Smith, Dangerfield, Sam Jacobs, Douglas, MacKay and now Lynch

 

[Danoz]

think pods would do well in a S.Stevens kinda role.. moves alright for an old fella and can pluck a mark, please don't give him an opponent though.

He's very good as a third up. Josh Gibson role maybe?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Best ? Betts, Lyons, Crouch, laird, Martin, O' Brien

Looking forward to seeing wigg and lowden

And more Bull

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I'm not sure Pods is the answer down back. If he is then I think we might be asking ourselves the wrong question.

By Answer .....of course not as he's in his last year of footy ......buy is a good backup utility ? .......absolutely both back & forward

Think peoples expectations of a 33yo are too great .....he has done everything we expected of him and why we recruited him

 

[Godallblighty]

I'm streaming the audio through VLC, and can set a delay manually to whatever I need, but that only works when the audio is before the video, as it is when the game is on TV. The video is currently a minute or so behind the audio.

Same thing?

I'm not sure Pods is the answer down back. If he is then I think we might be asking ourselves the wrong question.

He is so so so bad. I hope he does not play a game in 2015. Would rather just blood any one of the younger talls. Take your pick from them, anyone but pods however.

 

[footy4ever]

Betts Jenkins Kerridge
Lynch Walker Douglas

That could be a seriously dangerous forward line.

Where's Charlie? Even dangerouser with Charlie.

 

[Ticktak]

There is no way VB is in our best 22.
Sick of those 5aa nuffs trying to push his case.
And don't give me 'it's his first game back excuse'. Today has just reminded me how vanilla he is and the guys he is competing with ie. Jaensch, Lyons, Grigg, Laird, Kerridge etc have gone past him.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Use 5AA's online radio and just pause it for 20 secs or so till it matches up with the stream.

Although then you'll notice just how wrong most of their commentary is!

Is 5AA broadcasting on the internet???

 

[1970crow]

I reckon he is

He might if Lynch isn't right. But surely he's 1st or 2nd back-up for tall fwd and 4th or 5th 2nd tall defender. Not mobile enough for 3rd, so can't be much if a chance.

 

[deeztreez]

Mmmmmm Yer, not if we remain as sloppy as this. A couple of kicks straight into the man on the mark in the back lines and kick out from a point crossing the line with nobody touching it - all putrid. There simply is no excuse for kicking into the man on the mark. Should have cost us two goals and in a H&A match that kind of slackness costs games. Only NAB, but need to squash that s**t.

Cobwebs...relax

 

[Redleg Crow]

Is it just me or does JJ look bloody huge?

 

[footy4ever]

I can see this will be a topic of discussion all year, but i think you're wrong.

Give him 6 weeks at least. Why would you judge him today.

1st game in 18 months.....

Totally agree

First game I'm more interested in work rate and pressure acts other elements like ball moment and skill level will come over the next couple of games

 

[azza77]

F*CK SAKE. I hate when we conceded marks inside 50 like that. Waaaaaaay too easy. Lift your game Hartigan.

Oh well ....pretty poor judge of players, structures, roles, and list makeup there Azza

Yep.

Horrible post. Just come back from a year and a half off footy, and this is a NAB cup match. Give him a chance.

 

[Glenno23]

Brown's job on L Thomas has been 1st class

starting to become a very very good small defender

Starting to become?

He was there a while ago

He'll get better too
