Review The good, the bad, the shat - vs Fremantle R3 2024

[ams4crows]

Good Adelaide United scored 4 goals tonight and won

Bad Adelaide Crows scored 4 goals and were woefully embarrassed

 

[Tex is king]

Riccuito
Reid
Burton
Nicks

Destroyed a football club

 

[MRB37]

The Good: The club doesn't have the "distraction" of Nicks being out of contract. Glad that hasn't affected our focus.

We've just got the distraction of him being contracted.

Sid Draper

Sorry forgot to include:
Bad: we will trade it for a pre-agent (Petty)

No high draft pick mids for us.

 

[Crowstar]

The thing this club does is build up your expectations and then completely destroy them at the first opportunity

 

[Firewalker]

We've made some questionable recruitment decisions, but i reckon the bigger issue we need to seriously address is player development.

Yep the original talent ID is definitely not flash but the inability to not turn those players at least into solid 4 quarter effort role players is disgraceful by the development team.

Used to be the best at turning lowly players in to decent-good players now can’t turn more talented players into anything. Tate Kaesler before he left for the Gold Coast might've been * allegedly * leaking everything to the media but he could at least develop players a lot better than the current mob have been able too.

1st pick on Petty
2nd to get Brad Crouch back

 

[ams4crows]

We have kicked more balls that the opposition have marked inside 50 than we have had our own players mark it

 

[crowker]

I can’t believe I’m saying this but lets get Buckley

I’d be at least getting Stewy Dew in as an assistant ( are Balfours still sponsors )??

Make the board accountable to members

I just can’t believe every single poster isn’t posting about this.

If there was a dictator in charge of the country, who kept f*cking things up, and you couldn’t vote him out, would we all be on here bitching about how useless his ministers were?

That’s what people are doing here. It’s f*cking insane.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Sid Draper

We’ll coach the talent out of him

 

[mr.sheen]

Hey guys I think this whole slow build up with short kicks to only bomb it high into the forward line to their free floating intercepting defender isn’t the tactical genius game plan the club thinks it is

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Nick’s s**t game plan has destroyed the confidence of our players

 

[Scorpus]

Concerning trend of players hitting their third season at the Crows then stagnating or going backwards or turning to s**t

Dawson
Rachele
Schoenberg
Cook
Jones
Berry

 

[Jirkago75]

This as all down to the coaches, how can the whole playing group be out of form!! The game plan is diabolical and there is absolutely no urgency in our game.
Our captain Dawson has been terrible and the rest follow his lead. We look like Fitzroy before they merged. There is not one thing that we can say was average let alone a winner. We have some good players but this is awful.
The most concerning thing for me is when the game is going bad that the players don’t try something different. last week we kicked it to Steward every time, why didnt the players try something else. With this game plan, we will finish bottom 4 and hopefully get a gun midfielder but nothing will help unless the coach can motivate the team and give them better instructions.
Really dumb decision to reappoint Nicks , no other club was going to try steal him away.
Our club is an embarrassment and train wreck all in one

Havent you heard? The rebuild is complete. No need to draft premium mids, it's all about top ups

 

[FullyBigKPro]

0-3

Definitely targeting intercept defenders vs crows in my fantasy side for the forseeable

Its been s**t since Alan Stewart left, I don't even know if we replaced his role.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Rankine, Rach, Tex, Fog = 0-4

couldn't hit the side of a barn

 

[Bovo]

Jesus Christ, would literally only be interested in seeing ROB, worrell, micalaney, soligo, Dawson and rankin stay from this team.
We are properly ****ed.

I thought Rankin was terrible. Both him and Rachelle were fumble features and constantly made poor decisions. I think Rankin is more effective around goals, not on the ball. But the whole structure is crap from defense to the forward line.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Alan Stewart?

Club still hasn’t replaced Malcolm Blight’s role.

 

[Moonwatcher]

ROB?

Was good at times tonight

 

[Dangerousfield]

I'm as depressed as I've been in a long time watching that two hours of crap from us. Skills woeful. Too many sub standard players out there. Younger players going backwards. A number of draft busts loomimg.

There's a saying 'when the tide goes out, the rocks are exposed

Tex .......

TEX WALKER! his 2023 was fantastic, but now he looks like he's hit the wall, it's exposed all the weak links

Worst of the lot, we re-signed Nicks, a man bereft of any new ideas, FMD

 

[WheresGroomgone]

Hate to say it, but Fogarty is looking like a dud. Thought he'd be the replacement to tex but he's failing to show he has what it takes

A yet he showed so much more than Tex tonight !
