2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread part 2

[Don Muraco]

Edited your post to keep things current.

They they act like they're royalty

 

[hey shorty]

I agree with Sanders there is no way we are getting Himmelberg, no way you'd let talent like that go without a massive fight.

If they are fully fit he doesn't get a game, pretty scary really.

I can see why we were interested

 

[Anzacpaul]

Has Riewoldt done anything?

 

[Freshj]

At least when we booked travel packages to Shanghai we were guaranteed that we were going to be playing there

This is actually quality banter

 

[Vhaluus]

Ok. Not sure why that one metric has become the only measure of rebound.

The comment was that Williams, Shaw and Wilson are the best rebounding trio of defenders in the competition. As always on here, there cannot be any praise for an opposition club without a chorus of arguments about how we're actually No 1 in everything.

So suddenly we're trying to say that Luke Brown is a lightning fast line-breaker surging out of defence and spring-boarding attacks.

Actually he's a Nick Smith type which is not a criticism.

We're heavily reliant on Brodie Smith for our run and rebound.

Well how would you define rebound defender stat wise then?

They can't keep everyone, especially if the player doesn't re-sign

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Last year people here were saying he was TOO attack minded. Besides, as a defender your job is to defend

No one has ever said that?

It's not a criticism to say he's not a rebounding defender. Neither is Nick Smith and he's a premiership winning gun. There's plenty of other things Brown does well.

LOL they were absolutely saying it.

There was a huge outcry because we were getting so many goals kicked on us by small defenders because Brown was running off his man to rebound.

Yeah, I'd cough a first rounder up for him. Not particularly a need but you know...

The ones I listed. Plus metres gained I guess. Rebound 50's, intercepts. I'm sure you don't need it spelled out.

Has Luke Brown ever had a running bounce for instance? It's not a mystery that needs piecing together with a detailed compendium of statistics.

It's also not a criticism of him. He does many other things very well. Every team needs players like him.

 

[Bay62]

Each time the Saints have chosen to switch the ball it's been an unmitigated disaster. GWS just shut the space down so quickly. Force them to kick to a contest.

Yep every time they go backwards into the 50 they are taking a big risk. Lacking the skill run and fitness of older players to make it work

 

[spenze]

Can someone explain why Carlisle was worth a pick 5, guy is less than Harto FFS

Oh ok, rebound 50's. Well Brown had 69 of those last year, Laird had 63 and Smith 87.

because he was taken at pick 24 a million years ago

EDIT: oh, and the Saints are complete idiots.

Saints really didn't want to give up 5. There's a good reason for that

There was an outcry because we were getting goals kicked on us by small forwards. There still is. Brown's poor games last season were explained away by everyone because he carried a groin injury for the second half of the season.

 

[pjcrows]

Frees 19-9 Saints

Imagine the day when the Crows get a look in for a top 3 draft pick, we could legit turn them into the greatest ever AFL player given our record.

How many did Talia have?

 

[hippyhippy]

Williams has had a shocker of a game tonight. Any chance we get him for a second rounder?

 

[Kickin Goals]

Go the Saints!

 

[Geoffa32]

That last goal sums up the GWS.

They don't play as a team.

No one went to the Saints player when Mummy moved to the goal square.

Saints did receive pick 14 back from Sydney.

Come on Sainters!!
