Game Day RD 23 vs. Adelaide. Sat 16/08 @ 7:35pm (AO)

[Pies_10]

Cannot stand these clueless interstate crowds that always end up influencing results. ****ing clowns booing every contest trying to buy frees.

Happened when west coast were good too. And Sydney.

Happens at the G too, it's a home crowd

 

[Monco Matt]

Great Q1 but followed up by an appalling Q2, completely expected though as this is who we are lately. Our forwards are useless in the contest, none of them can win one and we just cannot score because of it. If that doesn't change we will still be sitting on 5 goals at 3 qtr time.

 

[JB1975]

Won a quarter, lost a quarter.

Still in it. Think we'll win it.

 

[CheckerTrade666]

Expected a crows response, but to give up a 25 point lead in a quarter just isn’t good enough. So frustrating to see us give away soft goals, yet we couldn’t seem to get boot to ball in our forward line.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Longs decision making isn’t even VFL standard

He has gone from Chocolates to not even boiled lollies....

 

[manicpie]

Only 5 points down but our lack of talent all over the ground is being exposed. Too many makeshift forwards and no midfield beyond Nick is glaring

 

[anshell]

That quarter we started playing like we have for the past month,slow ball movement around the boundary line and no overlap running.Why do we always seem to revert to this style of play?It never works.

 

[Peters_Nuts]

Could be worse! They mentioned they're the best 2nd quarter team in the comp by a long way.

We're right in this.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Our forward line is impotent and unable to win a contest, and then we have dumb and/or selfish decisions from many of our players. Long has been a liability in at least two critical moments tonight.

 

[YouBeauty]

How are we still just bombing it in ffs

Trying to pinpoint targets also not working

 

[JOELY]

Familiar second quarter. Slow movement to a crowded 50. Crows adjusted, and the weather turning it into a bit more of a grind didn't help. Would need some serious dare to play the way we did in the first to win this one, and I'm not sure we have the confidence now.

 

[SuperSub17]

Think we can Forget about win in the Flag

We might not win another game in 2025

Not sure what game you are watching.

We have played great. The ball has squirted out their way a couple of times and they have had a couple of VERY fortunate frees.

Bring another half like that and we win.

 

[TradeDraft]

We started bombing the ball in again to forwards and this is where it falls apart

Lower your eyes ffs

Did so well in 1sts Qtr but then we go back to this Shit Unwatchable Crap Footy we been Playing

 

[BillyElliott]

One all.

Come on Pies. Bring it

 

[thebaldfacts]

Only 5 points in it. We are well and truly in this. Just need a lift from De Goey, Elliott or Mihocek and the game is there for the taking.

 

[Silky23]

Really couldn’t ask for more.

Huge tackle pressure, winning clearance, great field position.

However 19 inside 50’s allowed for 6.3 isn’t going to get it done, especially when we’ve gone in 36 times for 5.4

They’ve got a super back 6, however ours still looks clumsy and cannot for the life of them spoil a deep entry lmao

I get the forward entries haven’t been great, but we really lack a true contested marking threat and every long ball you know is an out mark or spoil long to a contest 15m where we’re not set up

 

[Do_Beta_Rapport]

Put McCreery on the ball for a bit.

 

[Kes1984]

What's the ladder now?

Don’t want to look

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Could be worse! They mentioned they're the best 2nd quarter team in the comp by a long way.

We're right in this.

Scoreboard result wasn’t pleasing, but I’m generally pretty happy with how we’re tracking. We’d have beaten any of the sides we lost to in the last month if we’d brought this in those games.

 

[TradeDraft]

Won a quarter, lost a quarter.

Still in it. Think we'll win it.

Need to play Miles better then 2nd Qtr

 

[Visions]

Hawks did this to Adelaide in the first quarter 2 weeks ago and Adelaide came back hard in the 2nd . Gotta keep the heat on boys!

Except Adelaide owned the second quarter that day.
We had the same amount of inside 50’s and dominated for 10 minutes straight that quarter and best we could do was give the ball to that useless butcher in Long to do what he does best, nothing.

 

[cfc19902010]

Need to take our opportunities
If it’s close the Scumpires will get them home

 

[spartan-magpie]

Great umpiring for the crows.

How good is dropyourfeetling. I remember Ginnivan getting nothing for us when he did the same thing.

We are still in this…. We need to some quality mids, backs and forwards to come in.

We are really missing Bobby hills speed. Need big quarters from Degoey and Beau.

We need to open the foward line up more to capitalise on so may inside 50s.


This quarter is season defining.

 

[swoop42]

Our ball movement went from being adventurous to boring and predictable.

Long bombs on the heads of our tall forwards wont get the job done.

Embrace the chaos ball going inside 50.

 

[crackerss08]

Is Bobby cutting oranges for the players ?
