Review Good/Bad vs Richmond

[thebirdman 24]

Another game where Schoenberg, Jones, Keays etc are shifted into minor roles so we can get the 2017 band together in the middle Yes they got the stats but were largley ineffective as a midfield group. Sloane especially.

Another game where we prioritise experience over youth and lose

Glad we got valuable experience into Mackay and Hartigan instead of Hamill and Butts. Will be great next season when one or both aren't even on the list

In all honesty, we have finished the season in the best possible position.

We have seen that the gameplan can work.

We have got games into the kids.

We have the first picks in the ND and the Pre-Season draft.

I'm optimistic.

Yep. We will be adding heaps of talent to our squad. We will definitely be alot better and I think in the end we are a much better team than 18th

Give him another year but no wasting games on him if he doesnt contribute.

Jones is NOT a AFL level footballer.
Delist....an absolute SPUD.
Shocking selection.
He's absolutely useless in every sense of the word. People that say he needs time are delaying the inevitable. BUST !!!
Otherwise our kids look good.

Richmond were miles above us and the umpiring was putrid all round... we have more as a club to worry about than umpiring... kicking and hand balling to hit a target or that isn’t a hospital ball would be my 1st decision.

Hmmm, it wasnt all round from where I was sitting.
And...yes we turned it over plenty of times too.

Biggest difference between AFL standard and lower levels is speed of foot and mind. Simple really, tell me one tiger that is slow. I could name a few crows. So disappointing. Will we ever learn. Should be number #1 recruiting/delisting parameter.

#2 is elite kicking. Rest is bs.

Good: Sholl with 18 disposals, 6 marks and 3 clearances as an outside mid. Will get him the rising star nomination after the furore from last week.

Fog showed a bit tonight again I reckon.

I enjoyed the game - we showed plenty. Frustrated more than anything by (once again) our Senior players dropping the ball at key moments. Lynch and Tex both kick / convert key goals in that 2nd quarter and who knows. Lynch has got to go.

And I started the year with BRodie Smith as one of my favourites, but he's dead to me now. Has been abysmal for a while and is the perfect candidate for trade bait.

2017 written all over again.. win all games in September until Richmond came along. Hopefully no camp to follow this time.

Glad to get the 1st pick though... Our first spoon being in a COVID season is the best time to get one.

 

[Dewy006]

Tonight’s game seems like a wasted opportunity. Could have blooded Worrell, could of played any of Hamill, Butts, McHenry, McAsey. Could of rolled Schoenberg and Jones through the middle all night instead of the Sloane, Crouch’s, Laird Midfield we seem to have settled on.

 

[Golumless]

Yeah, long way to go until we could match a team like that, but considering the pressure they put on, the inside 50s and how much they suffocated us, a 40 point loss is probably being kind.

Would rather he got it next year he’s only going to get better and better

Good
McPherson showed that he is a player moving forward.
ROB. A beast. Close to All Australian squad this year.
Hartigan did enough to get another year.
Sholl was pretty good again.
Cleaned up on Richmond 20 plus. Get on them for the flag. Gamble responsibly.

Bad
Take your pick. Richmond made us look ordinary 2nd half.

Ugly
Our season. Let the fun begin at the trade and draft. Be uncompromising Adelaide.

Give him 10 years like Mackay....wont make any difference. What a waste of a top 10 pick....any Crows fans that dont think this was a complete waste know nothing about football.
He's no better than Tambling.

Nah they'll give it to Damon Greaves of Hawthorn for a 9 touch game tomorrow

 

[thebirdman 24]

We just have to make a couple of big changes in the midfield. Brad to go is an easy one, but I would also move Sloane to a half forward Tom Lynch role full time. Matt and Laird can stay in the middle but we bring in a couple of more dynamic mids like Schoenberg and perhaps one of our 2020 draftees.

Ugly:
Lynch - head and footballing ability

 

[Scorpus]

McPherson's tackle on Dusty was a highlight. He's a real player and quickly blowing past Luke Brown

 

[hey shorty]

Good

My multi survives after the last goal.

Bad

Reiwoldt and Dusty whinging about free kicks

Not one young fella in the midfield the whole game.

I know I banged on about it in the game day thread, but I just can't understand it.

Real big backward step IMO

 

[LittleCrowBoy]

How was the throw by Dustin Martin on the wing.....8 replays in slow motion and all the commentators can say is "sly quick give" by Martin there.

Not 1 commentator would say the obvious.

It was a bloody throw. Sums up the VFL to a tee !!!

s**t competition run by a bank of stuck up Victorian morons.

Yep, Sholl, Shoenberg, Hamill, Keays, Stengle, McAdam, McPherson all shown a ton more for less games.


Guy is a dud, but don't worry, the usual defenders will be along soon.

 

[Footypie32]

Chayce Jones is unfortunately reminding more and more of Mackay. Trains well, follows the gameplan, but just doesn't impact the game.

Needs to figure it out quickly.

 

[BACCS]

I thought we moved the ball well most of the night and matched them in pressure. Unfortunately it was that last line kick inside 50 or at goal that we were a bit sloppy in. Good example is that kick from McAdam to Berg in the last that just went over his head. Or Berg just missing that set shot in the first. Lynch missing a goal he usually always kicks. Richmond didn’t miss those chance.

Lots of improvement in the 2nd half of the season, especially the last 5 games and plenty to take into 2021. The biggest improvement for me has been our pressure on the opposition, I don’t remember us being good in that area even when we were a good side. Ball movement from D50 to I50 has looked so much better with the likes of Sholl, Hamill and McPherson in the side too.

I think Nicks is taking us in a good direction and we now have pick 1, maybe pick 2 and pick 8, along with a number of NGAs in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. ROB a smokey for AA next season.
