i love the matthew nicks game plan. if it doesnt work, keep doing it. if it does work, abandon it immediately. oh and play all talls, no matter how rubbish they are. and keep the midfield nice and slow, thats hard to play against

Gotta be his final season if the Crows don't make the top 10.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Just need Hawthorn v Brisbane Prelim at the MCG to complete the MCG Prelim tri-fecta for 24-25-26.

I said "hard to beat", not impossible

 

[Hollow Knight]

Rankine’s a bit shit, innit?

 

[cotter101]

Rankine’s a bit shit, innit?

Boooooooo!

 

[Chuckie357]

Does it now snow in Adelaide? Some seriously genuine downhill skiers in this team

 

[cotter101]

Lock in Port for the W next week.

 

[RAPPA]

Bailey continuing to put in the performances for a big contract

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Anyone writing us off is stupid.

Only thing that was worrying was the preseason fiasco, but Fagan is elite.

 

[ibd77]

Coach killing material. Should the Crows fans curse or rejoice?

 

[Johnny Bananas]

What fiasco, Neale? He's playing as well as he ever has.

 

[GoldbergsGold]

What fiasco, Neale? He's playing as well as he ever has.

I know, this was preseason I was wondering if this would distract the group or not. Just shows Fagan's the best manager going around.

It was kinda working first half.

1. Numbers behind the ball.
2. Slow ball movement
3. Pre-tackle all players
4. Hope to god the Crompires whistle in your favour

Rinse and repeat.

 

[Junction Lion]

Brisbane won't win another game this season.

Adelaide by a Tex Walker bakers dozen

Crows by 78 poin

Have you ever made a correct call?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Coach killing material. Should the Crows fans curse or rejoice?

If a Showdown thumping gets rid of Nicks, then we'll rejoice.

It won't happen though (Nicks being sacked that is, your mob should win comfortably).

 

[CarterS]

Handy to know McCarthy is an option in defence if required. He played really well.

 

[Xtreme]

Have you ever made a correct call?

Opening match of this round in fact

2016 grand final rematch and this time Sydney will wallop the opposition.

Sydney by 60

 

[Junction Lion]

Opening match of this round in fact

I'll concede the two out 100. Well done

 

[Elixuh]

It was tough to see Nicksy pulling so many tactical levers during the game to try and help the boys but they let him down and just weren’t up to it.

 

[Jirik13]

When it clicked for Lions, it was awesome to watch, looking unbeatable.

Crows looked pedestrian, midfield not at the level of top teams.

Lions are Premiers so should be awesome to watch. So much youth and enthusiasm too.

The Suns are very strong in midfield now, and look a chance this year ? A couple of TOP Backmen , and Above average forwards too. BUT , loved Witts prior to this season but the new Ruck Rules are killing him ( and your chances)

Are the Suns going to address this issue ? Ring up Xerri I reckon Suns would be a Super-show then.

Something is off with Suns. Not adequate pressure and contest (bottom 6), a lot of players look out of form. Will it click eventually? Who knows, haha. I am not overly optimistic. Apparently, they are working on it.

I would expect Moyle will get opportunity any time now.

Yes, playing 4 tall restrict any "tactical" option.....maybe that was his plan as he tactically is shit.

 

[Elixuh]

Disagree, ABAB. Nicksy is one of the top line coaches in the league, taking the Crom to a minor premiership just last year. You’re very ungrateful for what he is doing for your club, which is disappointing.

 

[brutus76]

Just wow on that 3rd quarter
