Game Day Crows Vs Demons: Youth and home truths.

[Mutineer]

Outside of the margin which definitely didn’t reflect the game, it went about as well as anyone could expect with 9 changes and bringing in that much inexperience. We competed really well for 3 quarters, brought way more pressure and actually were breaking even in clearances, but then completely fell away in the 4th.

Fitness!

It has to be one of Mcrouch or Laird. Never both. Neither can stick a tackle nowadays.

Our most glaring hole is still the midfield as it’s been for so long.

no pace, power, size or skill.

we have m crouch though.

Bookmarked.

Yep bookmark it. Seen enough.

Many.

This year looks far worse than the rest, and that's saying something

As I posted after the 2017/18 preseason debacle, if you overcook them one year, the likelihood of ratcheting down and getting it right is highly unlikely. We then went from that to repairing personal relationships ahead of anything else. And we have Burto's assistant from Brisbane running the show now. Anyobody thst thought for 1 second that we'd strip fit has NFI.

Fantastic

Chayce has played 18 games, i'm willing to give him a few more. But needs a rest. Can't get his hands on it.

 

[Shaz2012]

Jones hasn’t shown anything to suggest he’ll make it.

Do I need to chip in for two medals or can I just inscribe both of your names on the one

He needs a rest... not good for his confidence... but it’s too soon to say.. He has had some sensational moments in his 20 games... really exceptional moments... so I am not writing him off... can I have a medal if he becomes sensational?

I would like my Charlie Cameron medal by the way.. when everyone was writing him off as a player... I wasn’t.. still think he was our only finals performer under Pyke.

 

[Mutineer]

Well, the AFL should be very concerned with what has happened at our club and the fact no one has stood down.

Jesus you talk some s**t...Pyke gone, Campo gone, Burton gone, Chapman just about out the door

 

[Bob Neil]

First game back I know, but would like Fog to show more

Lacks a bit of intensity...needs to get fit and try and play like Jake Stringer (on his good days!).

Bring in relegation

What player along with Lachie Murphy had the game high tackle count for both clubs do you think?

 

[Crow till I die]

Watching the game, it appears most ofnthe team have the talent, but they aren't working together.

For me, it's all coaching. Our clearance suck, our ball movement is non existant. We defend poorly and there is no run from contests. I only saw Schoenberg do it of all or players.

It's so simple, but makes such a difference.

AFC, go and get Nicks some decent coaches to support him Who have AFL experience at good clubs.

Godden and hart are out of contract at seasons end..they had better NOT get renewed

 

[hey shorty]

Bring in relegation

Would struggle to beat many SANFL teams. Hell Richard Douglas would beat up on us.

So ??

He’s probably getting worse if anything. I think he needs a break.

Seems a good honest tryer which is quite typical of an Adelaide pick.

Ned on the other hand ive not seen do a single thing with the ball.

im not saying both are done, but I’m 100 percent saying neither was worth the pick they were taken at.

jones has a chance of becoming a serviceable player, not so confident on Ned.

 

[1970crow]

Nope, less than that. What's exceedingly obvious is that when you overcook the players, as we were found to have done between 2017/18, when you dial back it's very hard to get it right. I posted that back then, did you?

McHenry was pretty handy at times tonight.

 

[1970crow]

Maybe as long as several others on this board have.

maybe longer.

 

[Mutineer]

So ??

Well no player stuck more tackles at Adelaide Oval tonight...not one.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Bring in relegation

We'll become the AFL equivalent of Sunderland if relegation was every brought in. Big club with a loyal fanbase but run by total shitlords.

 

[BunjiMac]

McHenry was pretty handy at times tonight.

Had a few good tackles when he wasn’t flicked off like a fly, but I’ve yet to see him do anything with the ball itself.

 

[Mutineer]

Godden and hart are out of contract at seasons end..they had better NOT get renewed

Haas one step in front of those 2 or we're not fair dinkum

No, don't think so. You've been saying it (correctly) since the GF though.

 

[Mutineer]

maybe longer.

Maybe not.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

McHenry was pretty handy at times tonight.

He has a lot of mongrel but not a lot of weapons. All well and good to get under the opposition's skin, but he needs to find more of the footy and do something with it. Right now, he's not looking like a first round pick at all.
