Game Day Crows v Port

[Roo Lives Again]

Just got back from a visit to the Port board...OMG there's actually a clown on there who reckons that Dangerfield is a 'seagull' and only does the 'pretty things' once the ball is given to him....

Mods can I nominate that post of his as the dumbest post of the year? surely there's a prize for that?

It's a very common troll comment for people trying to bag the crows. I guess they ignore all the contested possessions and hard ball gets.

He always does, that's his best attribute.

They did the same with McLeod. Don't waste your time.

umpiring not even awful they had about 2-3 bad decision against them that didnt result in anything. only clear one was impey holding the ball and we probably dropped the ball once or twice in a tackle. can clearly remember a push in the back by impey on betts (probably a goal), walker getting gray holding the ball (another possible goal), gray again dropping the ball but this time in the forward half, sam gray huge push in the back on reilly for supposed 'mark of the year' where he jumped a total of 10cm because reillys back was horizontal to the ground. I distinctly remember port trying to rebound on the near wing on tv with 3 players in a row taking the game on and dropping the ball, play resumed each time and they ended up rebounding and could have possibly resulted in a goal. Those port supporters highlighting the crows having 10 more free kicks and saying that this is proof of bias is ridiculous. Truth is they were clumsy all day and reckless (ie wines slinging wright by the neck, many holding the balls etc) and we were not. Not to mention port play far dirtier than crows, who are probably too nice. But to port fans, if 10 port players try and tackle crows players around the neck, and crows only do it once to a port player IT IS NOT BIASED THAT THE FREE KICK COUNT IS 10 - 1!! sick of hearing about it move on there were no clear incidences such as a non-reviewed goal when 10 players saw it hit the post..

also remember spinning them around a couple times 360 in a tackle without them getting a disposal and even putting the ball to ground without a free so we could potentially have had many many more

You've misunderstood. I've said the umpiring was awful. It was. I didn't say the umpiring was awful all their way though.

Gerard Healey made an interesting point on "On the Couch" last night.
He reckons the slingshot goal that White got should never have happened. When our shot on goal was being taken, a Port player (Pittard?) was standing just behind the post with one of the spare balls in hand. As soon as the kick for goal missed, he gave the spare ball to the player who kicked in, even before the point was signalled. Our players had no chance to set up. This is a big No-No.

It was Dunstall actually. Also called THE mark wasn't a mark, should have been in the back. Reckon he might be looking at both those through slightly hawthorn glasses.

Works his arse off but often falls short of top standard. I stood up for him after his courageous mark with the flight of the ball but he immediately followed up with a kick to the opposition. His field kicks were either falling short or going long. Just basics he is not quite up to standard, but he certainly can't be faulted for effort.

I agree, I don't think he's AFL standard, a purely outside mid can't be that slow or have such average disposal. But it's difficult to actively dislike or root against someone who tries as hard as he does, and is as brave as he is.

 

[ams4crows]

If that Burton mark against essendon at footy park that would have been mark of the year if the umpire hadn't paid hands on shoulders then Gray's shouldn't have been paid either.

 

[*PAF]

You have to give the umpires more credit.

It was very confusing for them, trying to work out which SA team to ream.

Hehe.

His DE this season is around 63%. Not great, but not diabolical either. On Sunday his % was pretty well spot on for his average this year. I don't reckon you can say that he is so bad in this area that he is sub-AFL standard. I have seen him in the twos a few times this year and I think his DE would be higher there. He may still be getting used to the pace of the game in the 1s.

I don't get the whole - he's not AFL standard.

He's playing AFL - unless they give games to anyone who rolls up with a pair of boots, he's AFL standard.

Finally getting to watch the replay, Reilly has kicked twice to a port player on the chest plus a handball straight to Schultz. There is still 7 minutes to go in the first quarter.

Lol - it dosent get much better

 

[rocket18]

Crouch had a good first quarter, he seems to have plenty of time to make a good decision to dispose, doesn't panic.

 

[rocket18]

These muppetts commentating said about Gimpey claiming Betts scalp twice this year. I thought Eddie kicked 4 in the first showdown.

 

[Bicks]

Come across Brodie Smith's god awful kick in and the resulting turnover yet???

Lol, he would be one of those that claims that Crows supporters 'dont know much about football'

Yeah, maybe poor wording. I don't think that he has the ability to make a greater long term positive contribution to our team than some of the people in our reserves squad, and I do not believe he is doing enough at present to maintain his spot in our team. Better?

 

[FR0GGY]

He's allowed one mistake this year. The ironic thing was he picked up the ball that went through then decided he didn't like it, or it was too slippery so he grabbed another. Then he kicked it like it had port cheer squad bile all over it.
