Game Day Good Friday Football: Crows v Fremantle

[Crow_Magnon]

Worst part is that we're constantly chasing all day, spending all our petrol tickets just to break even. This takes it out of a team if it's consistent and it is for us. All 3 games we hit the front only to choke again. Definitely need a change of coach - esp midfield and some fresh personnel like Edwards into the team.

 

[Cromulant]

Yep they think they have it won so they try to defend the lead by chipping it around at half back instead of half forward. It is dumb indeed. We are one turnover from disaster.

Now the season is done because of our stupidity. There is no coming back from this.

Except we didnt do that tonight

We actually tried to win the game, we just had too many passengers.

 

[Miss Vanessa]

Sack Nicks… while I don’t believe in metaphysical mumbo jumbo, perhaps there’s something to the idea of strongly projecting an idea into the world and it actually coming true…

So please, please, please… Sack Nicks.

In the wrong hands at the wrong time, you need skill under pressure

O'Brien was a disaster. Was it fatigue?

Keays with a disaster kick, never looked set.

Borlase, typical Crows luck.

Doesn't matter, the damage is already done. It's a huge mountain to climb now.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I’m talking about the future. If Borlase is a part of that then it will be just wasting a space….à la Obrien.

Now you are being silly as you don’t understand he is a depth player.

It is, but the draw flattens out and we'll get some best 23 bodies back

Top 4 might be done, but that didnt help us last year anyway.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

What was worse?

ROB's kick into the man or Jones' airswing?

Keays play on to advantage

 

[Cromulant]

Keays play on to advantage

From a supposed leader of the club.

His form has fallen off a cliff since the bye last year

 

[FR0GGY]

Borlase was fine tonight.

Don't know what you were watching

Was the best of the talls actually.
One of the marks where Treacy got it on the lead it was Murray on him and Borlase had Amiss.

Some people clearly don't watch games or are clueless or both!

I get Borlase has the potential to be shit but every time he comes in and does his job.

Borlase was good on Tracey I thought he did well considering, he's great depth low cost but can do the job

Worrell was good defensively

 

[FR0GGY]

Worrell was good defensively

He had a tough job because he was also on Voss as well as trying to be the spare.
Got caught a couple of times attacking the ball for it to get turned over and back to his player. (See jones getting bench pressed out the way)

 

[Afcprophet]

Borlase is better than Jones. Way better.

 

[Velvet George]

Yes they absolutely are. And for the record if we miss top 6-7 this year and/or dont push hard in a prelim this year or next my view is Nicks should be gone. Our squad is now ready for success and Nicks currently clearly is behind the top 4-5 coaches in the league.

(not that hard to concede anothers opinion hey mate )

Dude, stop talking shit. Not a time to think you’ve got a point when our midfield was shit.

Nicks has to win a finals qtr let alone push hard in a prelim.

 

[Fizza]

Just feel like there's a lot of "hope" about the game plan, and the depth is an issue. That was far closer than it had any right to be, and that was because of Freo butchering their opportunities.

george, stop being a dick. you are overly emotive. go back to your self imposed not posting during or shortly after games.

lets touch base in TWO MONTHS like i said re our midfield.

goodnight old son

Midfield was shit. Nicks is shit. Gameplan is shit. Everything I posted was correct, you’re trying to claim a win when your opinion is shit.

Self imposed?

Vewy well, I shall welease O'Bwian!

For the LOL's

 

[WeeBlake]

yes I am focussing on the midfield comment you made. I am not debating the other aspects of your comments. I dont have sufficient issue with your other comments but your midfield comments are way off.

But if you cant concede Rankine, Rachele and a likely Curtin and a fit Dawson and Draper is an improvement then its pointless continuing

Draper is, at this point, a fantasy. No runs on the board. Pure hope.

Curtin is an unknown quantity as a mid.

Rankine has not established himself as a gun mid, and he’s had a fair few goes.

Rachele has had one good game as a mid, last week.

Even Dawson, as good as he can be, is not a true established gun mid like Serong or Neale or Daicos or Butters. I still think his best posn is half back.

Our midfield is a huge problem, even at full strength.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Money on hitting the lead then giving up the last two

As obvious as obvious could be

 

[Afcprophet]

We are not a contender this year, hopefully we can change that, but wouldn't be surprised if we miss finals
