Game Day Crows v Bombers + Rumour thread - get on like donkey kong

[Rory Walkerfield]

What was the ruck taps to advantage that quarter?

Last I saw ROB hadn't had a single one & they had 5.

Combine this with a lack of defensive pressure from our midfield & we are lucky to be only down by just over a goal.

You are seeing it exactly as I am. Bombers getting way too many easy clearances.

Wright will kick 10 if our midfield don’t tighten up. Nothing Butts can do about it.

so the defence this year has gone rather quick from being the strongest part of the ground to the weakest

Aint the defense. 3 goals have come directly off turnovers 65 from goal with a quick chip kick to a leading forward.

 

[GreyCrow]

We're quite capable of winning this

Essendon are ordinary too

Looking at the stats Essendon should be further ahead

We either outbad them or start stopping the leaks

 

[dogs105]

ROB has had so e poor first quarters before, then worked his way into it. Needs to here.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

why is Frampton incapable of a simple spoil ffs.

I thought that would have been Billy's strength given how effective he was last season at spoiling our forward plans

 

[dogs105]

And your a genius fu** off

*you're

Correct.

Our biggest problem at the moment is we are getting smashed in the middle.

 

[Mutineer]

*you're

And so can you...

 

[Scorpus]

I have never been more convinced that Frampton is the Jenkins of defense.

He needs to play loose and use his disposal. He's a tall half back flanker

 

[jackster83]

Surely it HAS to be time for Strachan

We're not dropping ROB. That's crazy talk.

[Southerntakeover]

"they have a little more pace than the Adelaide Midfield"- yes, polar glaciers have more pace than our midfield.

[FR0GGY]

That was a good tackle by jones

 

[Jars458]

Too soft too slow so far. Lucky to be close

 

[Crow_68]

Just horrible by Keays

 

[hey shorty]

And your a genius fu** off

Angry man.

You jump off faster than your average port fan

 

[Afcprophet]

Two of the contested marks for Wright, Butts' run at the ball was blocked by a crows player. First Rob, then Frampton. Still not looking too good. Also Frampton has been fine in defence, not a non entity. A few key handballs to start the run of half back that resulted in a score. Sloane has been basically non existent. Rob kills us with his absolute stupidity. Two goals directly from his clumsiness. First goal he took out all our players in the middle.

At least when himmelberg went into the ruck and tried to sheppard our players, might have looked bad, but he wasn't actively knocking them over....

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Dawson handballs to Keays to kick

Wrong wrong wrong

 

[Crow-eater]

On a positive note we outscored our Essendon game from last year in the 1st quarter.

 

[footy4ever]

Dawson! Please don’t handball to Keays when you can kick it yourself!

 

[Danger_zone]

I want Keays to spend all preseason training to practice kicking. Absolutly horrible.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Did Keays F50 go
To a bombers player on his own!

Thoughts on guernsey clash? Reckon we should be wearing white
