Review R22: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. West Coast Eagles

[Eddie Murphy]

Good: we get a huge wake-up call without sacrificing points. Zac Taylor had a great game.

Bad & ugly: the rest of it.

 

[moses]

I'm glad this wasn't week one of the finals, that was a lazy arrogant performance. Burgess was a total liability.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I don’t get why some on here claim guys like Burgess, Scholl and Borlase are good depth. Whenever they actually play they are way out of their depth.

Harsh on Borlase who has generally done well when called upon.

Burgess cannot play again. Gun state league player, but completely out of his depth at the top level.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Curtin's worst match for us since I don't know when. Had a few mates.

 

[FR0GGY]

Might be the worst 51ho game Obrien has ever had

 

[Scorpus]

We play North in two weeks and that sort of performance will not get it done against them.

Hopefully this is the get out of jail wakeup for the group

 

[Bernie L]

Let us never speak of this game again.

 

[Jarman3]

Collect every existing recording of that game, put them all in a safe, kill anybody who knows the combination then drop the safe to the bottom of the Mariana trench.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

That feels like a loss. Disgraceful and arrogant performance which nearly cost us a top 2 spot. Heck, we may well lose it if we dish that shit up against North.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

What game?

 

[ContrarianCrow]

Great: Taylor keeping us alive with some brilliant pressure. Rankine putting the team on his back in the 2nd half. Filthy being ok. 4 points in the bank and a game clear on top.

Bad: the rest. Move on.

We play well at Marvel. Optus is a graveyard for us.

Jones - 2 possessions/0 tackles. wtf is he still on an AFL list. Horrendous player. Liability.

Burgess - Nowhere near this standard.

Berry - we desperately need quality midfielders. Our best midfielder will be 29 next year.

Let's hope we at least win a final.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Props to Zac Taylor who was one of the few blokes that put in for 4 quarters.

 

[Crows I Am]

Not many positives today. We came out looking like a team expecting an easy 10 goal win. Credit to the Eagles their pressure was huge all day.
Take the 4 points and never speak of this again.

 

[crowsarethebest]

4 points and move on but it's clear the attitude of the players were lacking today. Few down hill skiiers today who didn't want to put in the hard yards. We're top now but it's a year where genuinely i think 1-8 anyone can beat anyone, there's no clear cut top few teams this year. We better pull our fingers out as next week although the pies have been shyt in the past month, will be coming out hunting.

 

[KingChowder]

We lose this game without Dawson, god I'm so happy we have him

 

[MrBarry]

A lot of bed wetting, it was a shit performance - but last week we looked like mustard against one of the top 3 teams. Shit happens, we got the points, move on.

But burgess and Jones can go.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Thilthorpe is better than his stats, which are impressive enough. He's become a guy that turns games.

 

[moses]

Pedler was pretty good. Jones got nowhere near it, need to try someone else as sub (would like to see Dowling rewarded). Murray was poor today, at risk of getting dropped for Butts.

 

[hippyhippy]

Taylor highly composed today. Very classy.

Take the 4 points.

Burgess really upsets the fwd line balance imho... plus he can't kick a goal. Tex would have kicked 3 or 4 today. He always kicks a bag against the Eagles.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

We dropped two percent after that.

So much about a % booster.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Take the win, say goodbye to Burgess and Chayce

 

[Samcro24]

Rankine TT got us over the line.

Taylor’s best game.

Pedlar 3.

Take the 4 points and hope that we dont play like this again this year.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Riley Thilthorpe. Zac Taylor. Rankines 2nd half.

There is nothing else worth mentioning.

That was embarrassing. Can't recall us playing that bad in years.

Possible straight sets unfortunately
