Round 14 - Adelaide vs Richmond

[brett15]

Thats for sure, should of won this game if it wasnt for a dysfunctional forward line for the majority of the game.. Probably a mistake to play a first gamer KPF as well as that spud miller.. JR did jack all as well in the last 3 quarters..

don't blame our forward line, everyone stopped running after 1/4 time when Jake King went down and we defaulted back to bombing it long which was too easy to mop up for the Adelaide defenders.

For a team coming off a 16 day break it was quite a poor effort to just stop and play protect the lead for 3 quarters.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Wow coincidental that when the crows gained ascendency the 4 qtr free kick count ended up being 5-2 in favour of the home side.

And when the Crows outscored Richmond in the second and third what was the count?

 

[juss]

At the end if the day, we played 1 quarter out of 4. That's just not good enough. Okay there were two clear dodgy decisions that probably accounted for 12 points, but Adelaide were simply mentally stronger and worked harder, they deserved to win.

We are just not ready yet, need a CHF, but we are on the up there's no doubt.

Looks like you kept track, please?

nonsense, they werent just bombing it, there were many occasions when Elton, and Miller just could not take contested marks..

 

[Wright Away]

Yeah good win.

Go Crows! Walker is a superstar!!! Does everything right!!!!!! Everything!!!!! Haha

 

[Tas]

Richmond were looking good when they were running and spreading like we did last week against the Crows, however, that is damn hard to keep up for four quarters.

 

[Wright Away]

All you silly people. Shoulder hit the ground, not head. Walker did a good job correcting his technique from the last tackle. Good job Walker

yeah we didnt run as much but both elton(1st game not his fault) and miller gave us nothing all day. having 3 defenders on jack there must be other fwds free. where were they?

 

[anthc]

Played like shit in the first, got the win despite umpire KENNEDY who is a ****ing cheat and has been for many, many years.

Tex what a GUN, and that tackle only turned into a spear because eminem decided to jump around at the same moment walker was smashing him to ground.

If any of you played game or two you'll understand...Hence no free to eminem. Suck it up

Not only that but some of the non call against Richmond were amazing.

Rewioldts clear mark that wasn't paid.

Morris being dumped on his head, resulting in Walker having a shot on goal.

Very poor umpiring in the last.

There was no technique in that nothing but luck

 

[wa don]

Richmond= pretenders, end of story

 

[DerpWerls]

Great game that went as expected. I was happy with the umpiring.

Our last 2 games our opposition has scored 29.6. As Dwayne would say that accuracy is crazy good.

 

[DerpWerls]

Richmond= pretenders, end of story

Sorry were we installed as Premiership faves at some point? That was supposedly our most difficult game for the rest of the year except for perhaps Essendon, we can still make the 8.

What were we pretending? We are exactly where we're expected to be at this stage...

You won your final last week

He may not of got the free, but walker will be missing for atleast 2-4 weeks for you guys.. You just simply cannot drive a players head into the ground, walker is in trouble..

 

[Tas]

You won your final last week

There are no finals in June.

We still have a lot to do and prove to make it, realistically we probably wont because we have two seasoned campaigners who are occupying one of the gettable spots.

Highly doubt that champ

 

[betterthanu]

Just watched the replay. Morris clearly lifts his legs in the Walker tackle to make it look much worse. Hope the crows go to the tribunal if cited.

 

[anthc]

indeed

 

[santa claws]

Walker playing well has definitely helped Tippett. Teams can't afford to triple team Kurt any more because it takes players away from Walker.

Vickery would have been handy for Richmond today.

na only if he was in form. every game hes played this yr hes been worse than miller.

simple fact of the matter is we dont have a decent second tall option or even a decent forward/ruck option. it does mean we must continue to play kids like elton try astbury when fit or griffiths keep turning them over until we find a decnt one.

lot of focus on our forward line today but to me the real difference was walker and just how poor rance was. that probably wasnt rances worst game this yr either. got caught behind too often and fell over god knows how many times. hes not the answer at fb.

i hope we call the tribunals attention to it pay back will be sweet.

 

[mysainters]

Was a big moment call by the ump with the tight gentlemans.

Replay looked dodgy, will have to wait and see it again regarding Richmond player emphasising.

First thought was he's gone though.
