2nds 2026 Adelaide Crows SANFL thread

[Crow till I die]

Haha.. getting thrashed by a team that hasnt even won a game yet this season!..

Port get the ball and race forward.. we get the ball we instantly look sideways aand then often take the sideways option.

This absolutely ludicrous strategy has been coached into the entire squad by Nicks and his team of coaching hacks.

That sounds like their new game plan undet Carr. Maybe a good one

Going to be interesting this week to see Matty Wright's 5 Key Takeways from this shambles of a game because it's hard to see any positives.

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Dowling has had a couple of good games. He is far off dominating this level as evident by this very match

I do wonder how these guys maintain motivation knowing their coach doesn't rate them.

 

[Cromulant]

Yeah so if you look further back into last year you can clearly see he is not a dominant player at this level

Agree to disagree, using stats to assert dominance is fairly simple analysis

Maybe Nicks is watching this and will implement a game plan to counter it in the AFL lol.

 

[hugecannon]

Nope, it was the big question right back to his draft, intercept marking was his best assett

You were quite keen on Barrett in n his draft year from memory, he seems to be having a great game (im Following the stats from work).

do you think he is worth trying to coax out at the end of the season to add a genuine small forward to the side?

 

[Bearded Clam]

So is it safe to say that Nicks and co thought at 3 quarter time last week against Brisbane.. “Lets try NMurray up forward”.

And when NMurray showed far more in a quarter than his brother Toby up there.. instead of picking Nick over Toby as a KPF in this weeks AFL side they thought.. “lets sent Nick back to the SANFL and see if we can turn him into a KPF”

Because it looks exactly like this has been the plan.

Toby Murray was absolutely terrible.. why play him in the AFL side this week over his brother?.. do these utter deadshits actually think “Nick looks good up forward so lets send him back to the sanfl and stick with his failing brother until Nick shows at SANFL level that he can play KPF”

They literally cannot play a player in a different position than they have been pigeonholed into after the preseason.. unless that player can show something at SANFL level.. its so cowardly

 

[cleanhands]

Did Neil Balme worry about that with you guys back in the day...rhetorical question

Really can’t understand him putting up with it BUT I’m wondering if he’s there to give his opinions but don’t rock the boat

Thanks for the laughs...

No

So why is Nick Murray in the B's while his unproven brother is in the A's.

This is likely spot on!!

Wouldn't surprise me. I have noticed he does a lot of fishing. He can't be blamed. Maybe needs to take Nicks and Kelly to Port Lincoln.

For his health its better not to watch

I think your standards for dominating at this level have been reduced because we don't have players that dominate this level

Matt Crouch was our last midfielder to play a significant stint at SANFL level and genuinely dominate

Just shows you a crab can dominate at Snaffle level.

10 goal breeze to Northern End.

 

[chazwazza]

Porked almost 10 goals up late in the third and looking to cough up the game

 

[1990crow]

ROB misses the ball with his hand when he had access to the hitout.

He is the Mr Bean of footy. Difference being he isn't funny.

 

[Scorpus]

Hahah so we play the same in the SANFL as in the AFL

Slow start
Finally wake up late 1st or early 2nd quarter
A stretch looking woeful somewhere in the middle
Fruitless comeback way too late that falls short

Good last qtr after port threw in towel

I'm sure our social media team has "Crows fightback falls short" saved as the headline for their articles.

Draper looking like a bust already, not picking Langford is gonna hurt in the long run

Langford would likely be having the same issues with us that Draper is right now, and Draper would be reaping the benefits, especially under King.
