Review Review: R8 v Port Adelaide

[Elite Crow]

EFA ......WW (tick) ....EC (X)

Only a flog would think that though, especially as Mackay was dropped in May 2017.

You only get the top 5 in the available categories. No filters or anything available. Not sure why.

I thought it was the deal done with the clubs to get access to the tracking data. That only top 5 on the ground could be published. Allows the clubs to work their own team data as a competitive advantage.

They'll both let you down when the real heat is on. You know it to be true.

This.

Reckon a good chance he gets traded at years end

Of all ports super trades since 2013 which have better stats (and better careers) since arriving at Alberton.

I was talking of trading Jenkins at year end .....confused !

 

[JohnnyD]

Yeah that was bizarre. Walker kicked 2 goals (one of which sealed the game) and had an equal game-high 7 score involvements including that beautiful tap to Lynch. Wasn't even close to "thrashed"

Tex definitely was still involved during the game but i think Clurey outdid him for the majority of the night..."thrashed" though, i don't think so trendsetters...

John "The Future " Butcher is screaming what about me.

Butcher never had a reputation except for bad kicking.

 

[BucketsNj]

You also need to consider the positions that Milera and Seedsman play.

For example, it would be ridiculous to bring in Milera for Galluci on a HFF just so Dmac can retain a position that Milera is better in.

Milera was playing forward when he got injured.

for someone as honorable as little old me.

Also, it's "honourable"

Inside Alberton he was going to be the next big thing.

Yeah i know. I digressed. Thinking out loud.. Jenkins to Port would be a dream trade.

Would he want to go to Queensland, to be near his Grandmother ? ....that said, not sure Dew would be interested

31 next Feb .....think on reflection we're stuck with him ....probably as a backup, as next year Himmer will be ready for a permanent role

You have to feel for the guy but I think his playing days at the highest level are about over.

Here it is. Knight up there View attachment 673574View attachment 673575

That's really interesting.
Knight's the only Crow in the Top 5, for 14.7 Kms run.
It's Wednesday, 4 days after the game, and I can remember only the 2 goals he kicked with the second the result of that desperate chase-and-tackle by Murphy. Apart from the goals, I cannot remember a single thing Knight did, so I went to the AFC Stats site.
Knight had only 3 contested possessions, equal worst with Hartigan, Gallucci and (no surprise) Atkins. 3 tackles, 3 one-%ers, and 2 marks.

Looks like Knight is running a long way, for little game-impact. Are those 2 goals enough to keep his spot? What have I missed?

AC has an exemption, it’s like Buddy’s Arc. He can get away with “honorable” “Mom” “ass” instead of “arse”, any Australian that commits these crimes should be deported to the US.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

He refuses to adapt his game ....last year he was better with contested marking, but has reverted to his soft approach this year

Himmer provides that contest every time, that allows our smalls to read the ball ......he's also twice the ruckman that JJ is, and in fact better than ROB at tapping to advantage

 

[CrowBloke]

I posted about Knight before reading these:

with 2 goals and one of our better finishers I wouldn't think he's first in the firing line.

Agree.
However, give all the running & pressure acts, we should be managing Knight by resting him from some games... which would allow us also to give McHenry a chance too... otherwise Riley will end up injured again.

So, the 14.7Kms he covered has to do with blocking space and being pro-active in the defensive zone, and he clearly runs forward, too (2 goals). Fair enough.
It's not always about cold stats.

 

[CrowBloke]

Loved this post, bloody funny

any Australian that commits these crimes should be deported to the US.

... and forbidden ever from eating Vegemite again, a cruel and unusual punishment.

Thanks for reinforcing my point---the whole lot of you need remedial spelling.

More like you lot need to learn the metric system.

See, I was erasing that post cause chazwazza came to stick up for me.....

and look who went and immediately captured it.

[CrowBloke]

Why would Kern agree to thus when he supposedly being offered the Gold Coast job.

Is that right? I thought GCS wanted to improve?

In a defensive gameplan, it's not all about what you do with the ball. If knight runs 400m to fill a hole in front of the oppo key forward so he has nowhere to lead he doesn't get a stat but he has saved a goal. The fact that he runs further than any of our fulltime midfielders tells us there is more to his role than meets the eye.

Might be because they have difficulty multiplying/dividing by 10, and moving decimal points L/R?

1 mile/ 1,760 yards/ 5,280 feet, as well as Gallons/ quarts/ pints etc is soooo much simpler.

Dixon won't play again

Tredrea's been saying this since January
