Review Good bad and ugly vs kangaroos

[Redline]

Good: IDK? Eddie Betts showing signs of life? Keath?

Absolute dogshit: Literally everything.

I don't get the love for Eddie tonight. That marking attempt in the last quarter was disgusting and killed any momentum.

 

[GROTTO]

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

You would poach Matt. Thats it. Seriously you wouldnt want to take any other player given the age of all of them.

 

[kulak]

Ashamed I believed the happy clappy crap coming out of the club pre season.

Players don’t want to be there.

 

[spenze]

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

We won the free kicks against stat, so we can build on that

 

[ManInTheArena]

Good:

Keath.
O'Brien can play AFL, he just needs more games.
Betts might scrape in for his first half.

Bad:

All other players. Special shout out to Hartigan.

Ugly:

Our coaching is absolutely horid. We have a finals team on paper and we're a bottom four team, if not wooden spoon material. There is now only one logical and rational place to look for the problem. We have horrible coaches. It's a fact.

 

[Mike Smyth]

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

Pyke's rubbish but his replacement will just come into the same system and perform similarly. It's like they get a year before they become corrupted by the Adelaide system. A new coach isn't going to fix our culture problems. On and off the field this club has been soft, arrogant and especially unaccountable for more than 20 years.

 

[Slippery Pete]

AT LEAST WE GOT GAMES INTO 2011 DRAFTEE CEY

 

[thebirdman 24]

we have zero method with the ball. it is almost sando esque. we run around and then blindly kick it forward. this is 100% a coaching issue.

also we dont have the cattle. hartigan, CEY, poholke, murphy etc are all not afl standard. then we have players who dishing up career worst football i.e. laird, smith, milera, jenkins, tex, lynch.

we are in big trouble and nothing we do against gold coast will help.

I'm not even confident we will drop anyone from tonight except rob.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

If we follow our usual modus operandi following rubbish performances like this there will be a leak that flu/gastro went through the Adelaide team during the week

 

[Mattrox]

Ok thought of a "positive".

North flogged us in 2017 and we made the GF.

Where are those straws I was clinging to.

We actually dont have any exciting good, new and young forwards, defenders or midfielders.

As predicted this morning.

Can we now drop Kelly, Hartigan, Mackay, Jenkins.

Get Stengle, Greenwood, sholl, McHenry in. Go smaller and quicker forward and back.

 

[Scorpus]

This is on the coaches and admin.

They are SOFT, GUTLESS hacks with zero accountability.

We deserve to keep losing until the plague has been eradicated

 

[rezagun]

Our forward line is as dysfunctional as i can remember. It has no pressure inside 50 and no pack marking ability.
Our structure around stoppages is abysmal. Theres no run and spread. There is no accountability. No polish on the outside.
Our inability to clear from the defensive 50 is terrible.
There are guys out there that are genuinely trying their guts out and there are guys out there that are taking the piss.
Our coaches are frauds who refuse to adapt and give this group any chance of success due to their bizarre selections and pathetic favouritism.
Fagan promised us the best football department in the land and all he has delivered is a giant shit sandwich.

 

[GROTTO]

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

I cant remember a Crows forward taking a strong contested pack mark this year.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Yep me too

In hindsight, who were we trying to convince with those comments?

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Well we won’t play them.

 

[MRB37]

Something needs to be done with Laird. If Gibbs just had the worst 27 possession game then Laird just had the worst 31 ppossession game. Absolutely no hurt in anything he did

 

[Cleric]

Selection has been terrible.
In what way is Murphy AFL quality?
In what world do you go back to Poholke as an un?
ROB is not AFL quality and our list mangement has failed in our ruck stocks. Piss poor job fellas.
Ben Hart is a great bloke and a club legend, but a forwards coach he is not. David Teague was a loss and the inept management of the club allowed him to leave.
Tex just doesnt, or can't, give a shit.
JJ is done, And there is again no ruck/forward talent to replace him on the list.

Theres plenty more, but just like the club, I couldnt be fu&*ed.

 

[thebirdman 24]

laird has been garbage for 18 months now

 

[ABAB]

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.

It's not just the defence, players missing tackles (even Sloane), Eddie trying to fly for mark of the year, players not moving and just staying stationary, players not blocking for each other and just pass the ball to other players under pressure and not taking the responsibility themself and the Jenkin's attempt.

 

[GROTTO]

Ironically he hurt us with his turnovers and clangers.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Our club is a miracle. Can't you see the divine? They managed to turn the form of North in a manner of two quarters, amazing.

We need to drop Lynch and JJ and bring in Stengle and McHenry. Get some pace up there.

Collingwood would be kicking themselves letting Ben Hart go.
