Showdown 25 Gameday thread.

Quarter time.

Power probably won the first quarter, but they couldn't hurt us on the scoreboard too much.

Game isn't too brutal as yet.

Bassett is playing very well - needs to instruct Symes to spoil, not go for the mark.

Goody playing well down forward.

 

[NSWCROW]

Good little fightback....1 or 2 more goals would've been handy.

THOMMO = BOG ??

From the radio commentary you'd have to say Bassett has been pivotal.

 

[RoosterLad]

jenny I know you didn't say too much but The King did mention it's Quarter Time so this would be the delayed telecast Gameday thread so be careful

You are right though, Bassett is loving this.

 

[Eastern Crow]

my thoughts

Port have been a little lucky, crows have not kicked straight and Port have kicked 3-4 goals from snaps

Port seem to be relying on too few, with Chad Cornes not fit, if the crows can get an even contribution and hold SB, Ebert and Motlop in the second half we should go on and win the game

 

[Eastern Crow]

you would think Motlop may face 2 charges out of this game

one incident in the 1st and another in the 3rd

 

[Dandy_GO]

Bassett, VB, Maric and Doughty have all been great.

Campbell has been immensely impressive. This is the perfect type of game for a terrier like him. Tackling, shepherding and his general pressure has been outstanding. Very good game.

Obligitory dig at Jericho's performance thus far in a pressure game.

Moran hasn't been on much, but he's looked ok when on.

Yep, Head high contact in the 3rd. The footage is clear - took his eyes off the ball and aimed for Rutten's head. Thug...

FFS Adelaide, I'm ****ING SICK of listening to the words "COULDN"T TAKE THE MARK"

 

[asdfasd]

FFS Adelaide, I'm ****ING SICK of listening to the words "COULDN"T TAKE THE MARK"

And I'm sick of us putting in a great effort for the whole quarter only to piss away our efforts in the last few minutes...

 

[Redline]

lol, Tim Watson thinking Schwert was calling Nights 'Rocket' when in fact Campbell is called Rocket.

My thoughts

selection may cost us again

Campbell, by the way he has only had 2 tackles, to play at this level you need to do more, he has only had 7 touches

Stevens, 5 touches and Jericho 4 touches

we are selecting too many fringe / servicable players and suffering for not selecting natural forwards

 

[Niximus]

It's done, we just have been really flat all this last half again. 1 goal in the last 40 minutes.

 

[RoosterLad]

Stiffy you ****ing idiot.

 

[RoosterLad]

Nice rushed behind by Jericho.

Wouldn't it be nice to see a Crows player do the same for once. Painfully unaggressive. When you are getting pushed around by Westhoff you know its time to toughen up. Really hard to watch.

 

[King Elvis]

From the radio commentary you'd have to say Bassett has been pivotal.

He's been absolutely sensational - almost back to his best.

Loved it when they showed Schwerdt talking to him, and Bass was giving him a few pointers

 

[Eastern Crow]

Macca is not fit, should not of been selected

 

[RoosterLad]

Nick Gill got reported yesterday, you must have cracked a semi when hearing that.

 

[pjcrows]

Very similar game to last season's second Showdown, and we are in a very similar ladder position too. However, this time - rather than coming back in the last quarter and then going on to sneak into the 8 - we look like we will probably fall away and finish out of the 8.

There's no point in us making the 8 if we can't win these games anway. Unfortunately, the AFL is set up so that it is better to finish out of the finals than 7th or 8th.

 

[Eastern Crow]

win, lose or draw, it's time for the club to be bold

 

[Eastern Crow]

great mark Moran, we have a player here

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

What for - patting the opposition on the as* with too much vigour.

 

[King Elvis]

What the **** is the Umpire doing here? A pathetic free to Motlop, and then another one to Rodan?

Is it an unspoken law that Rodan can't be pinged for holding the ball?

 

[RoosterLad]

What for - patting the opposition on the as* with too much vigour.

He actually attacked the ball hard and flattened a bloke, won't get a game for it but that was a ****ing stupid comment by you, I guess you would love it if some Crows went out and r*ped and murdered while on the field.
