Review R10: The Good, Bad and the Ugly vs. Collingwood

[WetCrow1991]

Ugly:
The Crows invite being fisted by the umpires. Winners don't get consistently ****ed over, losers do.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Good:
Fog. Soligo second half.

Bad:
Curtin, Rankine, Rachele all choked

Milera. Please go play for Port. Go play for anyone.

Nankervis - not it.

Curtin had 0 disposals in the last quarter. Getting sick of being told his talent and potential mean he should always get picked.

Tex should not have been picked.

Time to drop 4-5.

Nank just needs to play in a team that is doing the basics well and puts him under less pressure.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Soligo, Tex, Milera and Nankervis all awful today.

Plenty of others too but the above have no form to fall back on.

Today was a test of toughness and it should smack selection committee square between the eyes that anyone not willing to crack in when the going gets hard should be banished.

Soligo was quiet early and then prob about best after quarter time.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Go 0-3 after the Eagles game, which is a very real possibility and follows the 'last years results' trend and we'll miss finals.

Missing finals is necessary for our future. We make finals and we're stuck with Nicks for a few more years while our best players are still in their prime.

 

[Mutineer]

As we should, there's still gaps in our list with RoB, Milera and Laird and they are not only considered our best 22 but 18 lol.

Settle down, ROB destroyed Darcy Cameron in the ruck and Laird was clearly our best defender today......Milera however ugh.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Nank just needs to play in a team that is doing the basics well and puts him under less pressure.

So not for the Crows

The problem with Nicks philosophy is it leads to situations like this. He continually holds onto guys playing poorly because he has a set 22 he wants to roll with all year and then suddenly out of form players start piling up and if he had of been rotating throughout the year where required we wouldn't be in a situation where you can point to 4-5 guys and say "They're not currently up to it".

 

[Crowbling]

I really don’t like ROB but he played well today.

 

[Redleg Crow]

ROB was ok today in ruck. But costly elsewhere

 

[ABAB]

Soligo had 23 disposals, 4 tackles and kicked 2 goals. Far from our worst.

All in one and a half quarter.

[footy4ever]

Had the chances. Manufactured set shots in really good positions. Couldn't nail the goals.

Can't wait to play these ****ers at AO.

 

[WetCrow1991]

We are 100% finishing the season 12-11 and missing the finals.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Curtin was good just missed an important goal.

 

[feenix67]

At no stage did we make ourselves difficult to play against. At no stage did we give Macrae anything to think about.

Yes players make mistakes and we missed some shots. But we just ook them on at their own game and lost. Again.

Because Nicks is far too conservative and he has coached the life out of this team, to the point where they just play off a script.

Why? So we can lose again in the exact same way?

 

[Magma]

good:
dawson and fog.

ugly:
losing the same way all the time
how pathetic we are in close games.
being collingwood's bitches.
failure to deliver under any sort of pressure
shit coaching
needing everything perfect for us to win

 

[1970crow]

Only turned on just before 3/4 time. Not sure whose more biased, the commentators or umpires.

sure

 

[Moonwatcher]

Another good is that we lost an away match. Would have seriously damaged the season had it been a home game.

 

[ftmch]

Highlight of the day was Ranks making them delay the start of the song

 

[footy4ever]

Why? So we can lose again in the exact same way?

Let's have a bet..??

 

[jenny61_99]

Bad: Keyes and Cumming missing the bus to the ground

Not on their own.

It feels like whatever coach takes over is gonna have a Sando spike just based on loosening up how we play.

 

[1970crow]

The majority of the big footy board:

Tex needs a rest and conditions won’t suit a tall forward line.

Tex plays. Conditions don’t suit him. Gets subbed.

Shocked to be sitting here.

300

 

[Samcro24]

I was going to thank the team for shitting the bed early and not putting us through the obligatory token comeback.

Then they kinda mounted the token comeback
