Game Day R3 - Adelaide v North Melbourne Sunday 2.50pm AO

[Ciao Giacomo]

C’mon they have definitely been looking for him at times, playing way too cute to get him involved in far too many short 45’s

Laird, 9 contested possessions, the most for either team.

What a seagull!

Haters gotta hate!

 

[Grooster24]

Mow lines are 12m just FYI

No. The mow lines are different widths

 

[Hbanger]

Dowling or Taylor

Or anyone who isn't called L. Murphy.

 

[Crow_Magnon]

Not sure if anyone's mentioned it yet but this Channel 7 coverage has been extremely poor on almost all fronts today. Erin Phillips has been good, everyone else can get in the bin. Nicholson really bad, BT calling the home crowd ferals, Riewoldt doubling down on criticism of umpire for holding game up after Rachele hobbled off ground (could easily have been a Petracca type injury).

Kayo not any better....can we not have Derwayne commentate any of our games please!

 

[The Karma Bus]

Sholl 7 disposals, had 3 or 4 in the first 5 mins of the game.

 

[ams4crows]

No. The mow lines are different widths

The big ones are 12m

 

[WetCrow1991]

It’s gonna happen, nothing can prevent it

Lachlan had ice on his calf after SANFL, can't risk him, oh well.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Fallen back into some old habits here

Bombing
Fumbling under pressure
Missing targets (wind factor)
All going to the contest rather than maintaining inside/outside structure

Still doing a lot right too. We look the better team overall, just need to make our possessions count.

We're lacking some ground level speed up forward with Rachele out and Rankine in the middle. Haven't been able to put pressure on their D50 exits hence few front half turnovers

He's been pretty bad.

 

[betterthanu]

Crowd feels as big as I’ve seen in a while. Always hard to tell but could be high 40s today

 

[Geoffa32]

No. The mow lines are different widths

Yep

 

[Interloperer]

I believe the dumping tackle was due to Xerris near miss on him or another Adelaide player seconds earlier that should have been a kicking in danger call.

I don't care that he threw the opposition player to the ground. I care that he released the tackle in the process, it was an easy holding the ball otherwise.

 

[pjcrows]

I'd put Draper full time midfield and Rankine at the feet inside 50.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Clubs will be ultra cautious with rib knocks after Petracca

 

[Scorpus]

No. The mow lines are different widths

Bizarre decision honestly. Why not make the strips 15m?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Laird and Worrell have been our best by far. Dawson and Rankine need to lift which, for us, is a silver lining given that we'll run away with it if they do.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Our short kicking game plan is interesting but damn if it doesn't fill me with anxiety. I still like it more than when we try to get through with handball chains.

Also fumbling and missing targets with zero pressure.

We have butchered the ball at times this game.

 

[Crow_Magnon]

some of Curtin's stuff has been excellent...slick handball and some good grabs / positioning, and also Draper's give off when tackled that led to a Tex goal...holds us in good stead for the future.

I think we should put Rankine up there

 

[Scorpus]

The main issue in this match is the umpires have gifted North 40% of their goals

He has been very good

 

[WetCrow1991]

Not if he's cramping in the 3rd quarter of a SANFL game.

He's a bit of a chonker.

^ THIS

just stop back your farkenm forward in and point at the goals and say kick it!


Keys can be dumb sometimes

If you're referring to the last TT mark, Keays was right to keep running towards the goals. TT should either have taken the set shot or passed quickly to Keays, which looked the right percentage play on TV. The main problem was that TT delayed much too long before passing, when taking the shot was the only correct decision at that point.

I didn’t think that in my comments initially
But gee the 50/50 s are questionable
