Game Day Crows vs Eagles - A game of wind and wind

[MsTopG]

Hearing Ben Keays talk up West Coast at HT just reeks of Nicks loser mindset.

Nicks' motus operandi is every team is better than us. Probably because he realises we don't have a coach.

Why can't Laird play wing?

In the SANFL?

 

[DJ75]

Back to basics results in net gain

Who would've thought?

At 3/4 time Nicks will be ripping into the boys for not playing to the game plan.
"Forget long down the middle - we need 8 m sideways kicks. Slow the game down! I can't keep up!"

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Why can't Laird play wing?

Would his loopy kicking style be problematic on a wing?

 

[Firewalker]

Thilthorpe just telling Maric to calm down there on 3qtr time siren like he was a child

 

[TBM]

Why can't Laird play wing?

Doesnt run anywhere near hard enough nor have the damaging possession game.

I’d love to see us ease Draper into the side via a Wing

I’d also love Dowling to get another crack. He was good there last year, can’t understand why he’s so out of favour

 

[DJ75]

Dawson limping and dropped to the ground.
Physio looking at him.

Sit him out the quarter. No need to run him into the ground.

 

[1990crow]

Need to make this is 80 plus.

Why can't Laird play wing?

Dowling please

 

[CrowBloke]

Much much much better

Yeah, but WCE have run up the white flag ... and you get a decent night's sleep!!

WCE were garbage in the second half of that quarter.

 

[Crow_Magnon]

First 5 mins of that quarter was a comedy of errors. we were pathetic. Finally found some fluency and movement and finally starting to get results. I'm not quite as livid as I was in the first half. Still missing too many easy goals for mine. Thank God for Rachele - he's been a shining light today.

 

[MsTopG]

Would prefer Nicks out.

 

[pjcrows]

Someone posted earlier that it's weird feeling like we're playing shit but should still win by 10 goals?

Because we're a 10 goal better side than them with our eyes closed. We've learned little today, other than Berry finally taking a game by the scruff of the neck. Mostly it's just confirmed things we already know.

West Coast dropped off. Nothing special by us.

 

[TBM]

Laird 17 touches including 10 kicks. For only 109 metres gained.

Get him out and Cheddar in.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Finally take the game on and, low and behold, we kick away.

Chance for some % here now after looking very shaky in the first half.

 

[1990crow]

Would prefer Nicks out.

Both

 

[Mutineer]

Dowling please

Edwards please, better kick than Dowling and way more penetrating.

 

[The Karma Bus]

Working on Dawson calf/ankle area.
He's going back out to the middle after 3/4 time.

 

[dogs105]

Would prefer Nicks out.

Why not both.gif

Both please

 

[Moonwatcher]

Yikes that kick

 

[footy4ever]

Well well well.

I was hoping Eagles' hubris and enthusiasm would fade as the match went on as they physically tired from all their frenetic attack on the player and ball. Wasn't expecting that until halfway through the lat qtr though.

Also wasn't expecting the ride we're enjoying from the umpires. Not a #22 in sight thank ****!

 

[MsTopG]

Retire laird.

 

[dogs105]

Edwards please, better kick than Dowling and way more penetrating.

Loved Edwards game at HB, and would play him instead of Laird. Wing fine though.
