Review Good bad and ugly vs kangaroos

[Bender20]

TONIGHT'S SUMMARY

Good - Dragged Across Concrete - the new Mel Gibson film I am currently watching after I gave up watching this shit match in the 3rd quarter

Bad - Stupid sideways kicking unaccountable non-communicative gameplay. Bad. Israel Folau social media usage-bad. Lasagna in a can-bad

Ugly - Finals prospects.

Good movie.

 

[ABAB]

Murphy – Two momentum changing mistakes in the first quarter. Limited ability

Umpire number 30 – Has killed us time and time again over the last decade.

Chayce Jones – Courageous kid

North, well coached……..at playing for frees

Jenkins – Not only one of the softest players to put on a Crows Guernsey but also one of the laziest. Bring on Himmelberg. Will join the "elite" 200 game club.

Talia – Horrible game

Betts – Legend of the game

Walker – Largely invisible as usual. Must retire at the end of the year.

Ellis-Yolman – Why? Horrible, nothing player

Crouch Brothers and Sloane – tough

Tom “Bruise Free” Lynch – Match deciding mistake in the last. Soft

Pyke – Coach with limited scope for improvement or to adapt to change. He is so obsessed with his system he fails to recognize and fix obvious weaknesses in his now flawed system. Dead Man Walking

SLAM ! Window closed. Rebuild time.

Pyke has clearly lost the players after his post CM comments which is the worst time for this to occur for the list.

All of it was ugly.

Oh no, that’s not fair. Keath came to play.

Keath has continued to improve and impress. Don't know if he was ready earlier, but should have taken Hartigan's spot long ago. Gonna struggle to win a game with obrien in the ruck. Also sack the coach and anyone the new coach feels he has a better option for in current roles, like Burton, selection team etc. Not later, this week. We've seen enough.

 

[Doctor B]

Crows didn't win a stat tonight.
Campo cant come out midweek and point to some random bullshit stat we won even though we lost.

Scoring shots Crows -12

Kicks -25
Handballs -14
Disposals -39

Clearances -11

Inside 50 -21

Contested possessions -16

This coaching group is garbage, and Fagan said he would give us the absolute best footy department in the AFL.

Gibbs would be sitting at home on his sofa thinking thank God they dropped me, how do I get back to Carlton!

 

[Redleg Crow]

Quick question: who in our 22 tonight would have another club trying to poach them?

Matt and Brad? Smith? Laird?

Forwards: Tex, Eddie, JJ, Murphy no; Lynch maybe.
Mids: Sloane? Doubt it,
Atkins, Mackay, Poholke, CEY, ROB? No way
Defence: Talia (too old to poach so no) Hartigan, Kelly nope.
Milera? Maybe

We have a team that is not desired

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I'm in the sticks with 2004 style 3G coverage and didn't see a second of it.

How'd we do?

You got closer to the ball than most of our midfielders

 

[spenze]

Tonight's performance seriously reminded me of that Ashes test in the 1981 tour of England when Botham made 150 odd and then Bob Willis got 8 wickets to win the test after being made to follow on by Kim Hughes.

That Ashes test wasn't as bad as tonight

 

[Crowbots are dead]

Midfield was terrible.weak as p&ss

 

[spexau]

Ziebell saying 17.9 would have been a "truer" reflection of the game, apparently. Haha what a w***er.

Would've been. They doubled out in50 count

 

[Wouldbetackler]

Ok thought of a "positive".

North flogged us in 2017 and we made the GF.

Where are those straws I was clinging to.

We were 6-0 when they flogged us weren’t we?

 

[Dewy006]

I would say we are garbage, but that would be an insult to garbage.

 

[noddy]

Keith the only shining light.

Clearly Pyke has lost the players & should be sacked as soon as possible.

Doedee the next to go back to Victoria.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Keath was good.
O’Brien was harshly done by with ruck infringements and played reasonably well. Will get better.
JJ has to go and so does Lynch. Walker gets one more chance.

 

[morris086]

I thought Brayshaw was pretty good. No bias at all and a pretty.good commentator on Fox without the blokey humour of MMM and C9.

Yeah you're right, still a strange choice though.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Pyke has clearly lost the players after his post CM comments which is the worst time for this to occur for the list.

CM?

 

[RePete]

The following players are to slow move on when ball in hand:
-Kelly
-Keath
-Poholke
-Talia
-Harigan
-CEY

Therefore we struggle to get it out our back half. Got beaten in and around the contest which only amplified these straight line kicks.

Who actually performed well tonight?
-Betts - shame we couldn't get it forward more for him
-Keath - good game

Did some ok things:
-Milera - had his moments
-Smith - some good kicks

Thought Poholke has improved a fare bit on his AFL performance of last year. Still not upto AFL level though.

 

[Dixie Normous]

LOL at Steven Rowe on AA at the moment - 'The Bunsen burner needs to go under the coaches' arseholes. Dead set, the blue flame needs to go right under their clackers'. Quoted verbatim

 

[Murray2503]

Good:
I picked north by 4 to 5 goals and made a good sum on them. Knew we would lose after Cey and Poholke were picked. Both spuds.

Good: 1 game closer to Pyke getting sacked.

Reality:
We are a bottom 4 side currently.

Truth: Don Pyke is the worst coach to grace our club.

Pretty much done with this club. Chappy and Riccuito you can have it. Good luck with your hobby.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Only good is that the performance was so bad that it will be a change-driver

No one will be able to pretend that we're on anything resembling the right track

 

[GROTTO]

The team is not playing for Pyke anymore. He has clearly lost them. To lose to North at the Dome is inexcusable.

 

[ABAB]

CM?

Collective Mind.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Everything about this club stems from the inability to make tough decisions and rather look after the boys and keep everyone happy. Trigg surviving explains everything you need to know. Chapman is a big fat fraud. Look at the people we've employed.

I can't defend Pyke any longer, there is worse than him though.

 

[Mike Smyth]

Lets' start being really brutal. Jenkins, Walker, Lynch, Atkins, Ellis-Yolman - are all really, really soft footballers.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I would say we are garbage, but that would be an insult to garbage.

Did lol.

 

[hippyhippy]

Our movement of the ball is so far off what we were a few years ago... it's obvious the problems start at the coaches. The gameplan is crap.

3 defenders that can't kick is going to fail every time. We are going to start 5 goals behind every week playing them. Brown needs to come straight back for hartigan, he is such a liability.

Our problems are coming from the defence and the movement through the half back line. Ben Hart is just not a good coach. Kyle Cheney should have been picked before hartigan.

Then there's our ruck, obrien im not sure is good enough. He got alot of bad calls tonight but still looks very uncomposed and disposal is very dodgy even for a big guy. Jenkins.. refer to his thread.

I think the guys have aged now. They are past their best. Lynch betts don't look the same. We are better off playing the young guys now.
