God ******* help whoever has to play these campaigners next week.

Crows gonna smash them ya reckon?

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Cats by 33.

You're not too good at this whole prediction thing for Crows games are you?

 

[mick500]

Yes?

Oh wow, I’ve tried to ‘claim’ that a coach with a 75 per cent win record over 170-odd games is a decent coach.

Can’t be right because they lost this evening.

You said you weren't involved in the conversation and said he had the wrong person and you asked for quotes.

He provided the quotes you made in said conversation. Whether you stand by those claims is irrelevant . The denial that you had any part in the conversation is what you asked him to provide proof of which he did.

 

[TooBlue14]

what, are you asking for a chronology of Joel's free kicks? I can honestly say I did not see one genuinely deserved free kick paid to him. It's poor form on his part, but evidently it's acceptable behaviour so good luck to him. May win him plenty of flog commentator love but won't win him a flag

The career of Joel Selwood. People will look back on it pretty poorly.

how do we tag people now? There are a couple guys that I was having a conversation with this morning that have dissapeared.

add @ before their username.

 

[MotlopMagic]

That really stings! Adelaide were far too good. Congrats!

He made a sarcastic comment about ‘the master coach.’ I’d have assumed based on that, that at some point I’d have tried to claim that, indeed, he is a master coach or even ‘the’ master coach.

What I had in fact said was that, a) no coach will come out and claim credit for a premiership win, and that b) his record would indicate that he is a decent coach.

So I indeed had no part in any such conversation about an alleged or supposed master coach. That’s why I asked.

One from left field, but Motlop was absolutely fantastic tonight. Alongside Dangerfield, he was the only one that gave Geelong any penetration going forward. When he's on, he's almost impossible to defend for the opposition. He's one of the most intelligent and player's at creating space I've ever seen. His ability to recognise a running pattern reminds me of a Rugby League half back, in that he uses the opposition player's momentum to judge his next move and it's no coincidence that he often gets himself clear with the opposition looking silly. While he's quick, it's his intelligent running patterns that allow him to break lines.

Fantastic game tonight. Deserved a lot better.

I really enjoyed that contest. well done crows and good luck next week!

I’m really not sure how I feel about his last 2 weeks. On one hand obviously he played his best when it mattered most - S you rightly point out he was fantastic tonight and even in the first term where Adelaide were just unstoppable, he was trying his guts out. But where has it been? This is what riles us about him.

At the end of the day it's all semantics isn't it.

Better luck next year.

Where's that flog, Daz?

Go Catters, Shit Splatters!

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

Hope you enjoy your medicine Nakia. Looks like it was an even bigger dose than I had expected.

So much for Geelong being much better than Adelaide.

I'm well and truly here brother. A very good performance by the Crows and a well deserved win.

My confidence was mistaken. Well done.

That old saying "it's a man's game" is the polar opposite of Joel Selwood.

A more prominent cheating, whingeing, ducking prick has never existed.

A blight on the game.

A shame to testicles the World over.

Doubt it. 3 flags. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I think my matchup board was pretty good in the end. Eddie played well and Crouch Inc delivered. Duncan was good in patches though.

Duncan, Motlop and Selwood were really the only ones keeping their head above water during the onslaught.

Yep, this was my original board, I was saying that Duncan was good. I was laughed at for suggesting it.

Props for fronting up.

Motlop was our best player.

As promised.

Did a great job breaking the lines, but the knock on Motlop is not how good his best is, but doing it for more than 15 minutes each game. As a midfielder should probably not go missing for the extended stretches he does, and he was in and out of it tonight again, despite being very good when he was involved.

If you only knew the half of it.

Sure, but I did that at 11am.
