Game Day Crows V Suns - Good Friday

[hey shorty]

Fair amount off ebb and flow in that game. We were flat for periods, fired up for others. Players young & old drifted in and out of the game.

We were generally a bit fumbly and off with our skills throughout though, managed to cover it with effort and numbers.

Overall a thoroughly enjoyable night. Loving these Mackay-free games

Exactly my thoughts

I'm kind of uncomfortable agreeing with you

Don’t worry. Come the next loss, whenever that is you can resume normal transmission...

 

[Burtonsgottago]

His run and confidence was unlike what I've seen from him, well, ever. Hard as nuts, too

Keep playing like that and he's a backline mainstay

All he has to do now is to start to hit targets

looked like a leader out there. As if his confidence has finally clicked and we could see what perhaps only the coaches had hoped he might become

Captain outstanding, up there with as good as he's ever played.

If not for his last 10 minutes of the opening quarter we go in 4 down.

He looked to move the ball forward which is a timely change plus he was running hard to start a few counter attacks which was good to see from bull.

Some people only see what they want to see and or what they want to see!

I have been impressed with Kelly this year. He has always had the intensity, but his decision making and foot skills has let him down. Somehow, he has acquired both of these attributes this year and has become one of our better players.

for GC is one that got away. West Adelaide boy. Picked up in the 2018 preseason. We picked up McAdam at the same time. Would be a massive pick over Frampton.

DE Doesnt include handballs to ankles and kicks where teammates have to double back

 

[ams4crows]

What was the attendance the last two home games the crowd has seemed so loud and there was actually support and noise when the players needed it, people were jumping out of their seat arms up every time Tex was kicking a goal or anyone kicking a goal for that matter.

It's almost as if we as Crows fans took winning for granted the last decade and last year was so bad we are just willing these players to be as passionate about playing for us as we are about them

LOL

Anyone that could find fault in Kelly's almost flawless game this week and his previous game against Geelong until Dangerflog KO'd him is not being genuine.

LOL is an overused expression

At the game, it appeared the Greenwood/Sloane battle was 50/50. Also thought Sloane hurt us with a couple of poor disposals.

Only when watching the replay did I appreciate the amount of inside grunt work Sloane did.

Would've been hard to grab Burgess. GC targeted him with their pre-selections (think they got Sam Collins the same way). Unlike Carlton, who used their pre-selections as trade fodder (McAdam and I think Kreuger from Geelong?), they decided to keep these players

But yes, he was very solid last night. Not overly impressive, but would be an upgrade over Frampton

 

[Godallblighty]

I'm not usually much for this fan engagement stuff but Lachie Sholl's enthusiasm is infectious and joyful.

 

[beartoo]

He set up at least two goals and it might have been three with very intelligent passes weighted perfectly for a teammate. The Kelly hate on here is ridiculous.

Noticed them handing it around before Scholl got it as they came together after the game.

Rowey looked annoyed when it was handed to him at first.

Unpopular opinion I reckon the crowds been overall younger last two games hence the noise

Good call

There's usually a bunch of fuddy duddys who leave early to get the first seat on the bus, regardless of the score. On Friday there were only a couple.

The old boilers are staying home

I don’t think the apricots have the stomach for a rebuild.

Definitely a younger crowd on Friday. Also a lot more people wearing merch.
