Preview Practice Match: Crows vs Port, Saturday Feb 27/2/21 @ 11am

[hey shorty]

Simon Madden was known more for his ruckwork than a forward... so not the best comparison.

Salmon a better comparison, but RT has more tricks in his kitbag.

 

[jackster83]

Reckon Thilthorpe is our best potential forward... but yes, it's questionable whether Tex & Fog can co-exist.

If Fog isn't doing enough, can we play Tex, Frampton/Berg and Thilthorpe in the same forward line?

Yes, but it does mean the other 3 smalls have to be off the scale pressure wise.

 

[Sanders]

Powaa's short kicking is very good. Rarely turn it over.

your posting style has changed so much. You don’t seem keen to maintain your former persona

 

[deeztreez]

I reckon Tilthorpe can be Simon Madden.

More of an upgraded Jeff White for me.
Or even a more nimble Corey Mckernan.

 

[The Smith Revolution]

And seriously, I don’t want to go back to the middle. Now we are down here let’s do it properly. This must be at least two more years of high end talent in

At least we get Jason Horne.

He's going to North

Triggyscrewed is F...O.S...

Your feedback is welcomed..
You've got a bit of wobblehead about ya hey mate

Personally, I would like to see us play Fog, Berg & RT in most games.

 

[hey shorty]

Personally, I would like to see us play Fog, Berg & RT in most games.

2 of them would want to pull their fingers out but in theory they are the 3 most talented.

*Noting Tex is the most talented but also the most worn down.

 

[Sanders]

On the brightside guys Horne will be one hell of a player for us.

looking forward to seeing if you slowly morph into a draft watcher as the year goes on

 

[Deaneus!]

Yep this season crashed and burned when pulling out of the hangar

When does 2022 preseason kick off?

Monday

 

[Sidthehat]

Average first half, got better as the game went on.

Doesn't have that confidence back yet but it'll come

Wonder if they will give Worrell a go there in the next match. He was on a hiding to nothing in the seconds. Seemed to be at full back a lot of the time.

I think you'll find those new guys you named aren't quick nor highly skilled either. I like them but we need a couple of elite mids heading that group. That's why we need to go hard again at this draft (first round).

If we don't I feel we will suffer from the same blue collar midfield that we have had for such a long time now.

Pedlar and Berry showed a bit of burst from what I have seen of them. More skill as well.

And yeah obviously our midfield stocks are obviously still our aching main issue.

 

[mattymac]

I missed the ressies trial. Did Thilly play ruck or forward?

 

[King Elvis]

Reminder of how far away from being competitive we are.

Lost our best mid, and our best up and coming mid probably gone for the season.

Back to reality - bottom 4 is likely.

Bottom 4 was locked in before any of that

 

[King Elvis]

Was disappointed ROB was not in the leadership group. Not really sure why Lynch is in their as well tbh. Has a lot of wraps on him about how great a club man he is but just doesn't deliver onfield where it matters most. Has taken over the Andy Otten role.

Agree totally.

 

[WeedsMullet84]

This board definitely has its faves

More like this board is mostly made up of people who are 40+ in age and can’t wrap their head around why a player like Fog won’t make it in the modern game.

Why can't we play Fog one out in the goal square, what's stopping us from saying don't leave the forward 50.

 

[Sanders]

Last year's draft crop look excellent, as they should - we finished bottom.

Crisp

Simon Madden was known more for his ruckwork than a forward... so not the best comparison.
