    Review R8: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Port Adelaide

    I’ve been banging on about this since the very start of “using video to make sure we get the decisions right”. It’s a lie. In baseball, cricket, tennis, ice hockey … there are many crucial decisions that can be quickly rectified with good tech. In footy it’s bad tech and it makes it worse...

    Review R7: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Brisbane Lions

    We rely on things being in our favour. I don’t see a backs against the wall style win against a decent side in our future. We need everyone to be available and then those nasty opposition coaches and players to not do any of those mean things that make it really hard for us. Brisbane are...

    Preview R7: Changes vs. Brisbane Lions

    I think Nicks sees his recent method against Brisbane as being successful. We haven’t been blown away in many, we have won a few too. That’s been with the 3 headed monster. I reckon he sees the structure not the individuals as being the reason. A fit and firing Tex, Thilthorpe and Fog … is...

    Opinion Non-Crows AFL 14 "Put your Foot in it"

    Wouldn’t the sensible answer to all this be that Foot comes out and says “my mistake, it seems like I misheard what Butters said. I over-reacted because I thought he was referencing my job at Sportsbet.”

    Preview R5: Changes vs. Carlton

    Pre-season, I looked at our injuries and our first 7 games and thought … we might only beat Carlton and St Kilda and be 2 - 5. We are at 1-3 now so slightly ahead of my guess. The losses we have had have been close, we have played the wrong players … we have played the right players on the...

    Review R4: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Fremantle

    From memory … one of the other commentators was talking about moving him in there because we were getting smashed in the middle … he was pre-emptively saying not to do it.

    Review R4: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Fremantle

    I think ol Nicksy is in danger of showing us all that he has peaked as a coach. Think of it this way - imagine both are available … who gets more offers, Hinkley or Nicks? Hearing Hinkley say stuff like “get Rankine involved” and “don’t waste your competition leading power forward in the...

    Opinion Non-Crows AFL 14 "Put your Foot in it"

    From Chris Scott … "If you think that our 23 we pick in any given week is a referendum on who we think our best 23 players are, you're not reading the way we think about things."

    Review R4: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Fremantle

    I'm losing patience on the gap between Berry's best and his norm. The fumbles are incredible. Also, that play where Chaye had a chance to get the ball back into 50 in the last few minutes but fluffed it under pressure ... Berry basically wandered around the immediate vicinity with no idea. He...

    Review R3: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Geelong Cats

    Fog suffered from not having Tex out there - he needs to get past that. Should have more game knowledge, or the ability to apply it than he showed last night. That was not good. One of the worst games he has put in for us in a long time. Thought the 50m penalties against him were dodgy though...

    Review R2: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Western Bulldogs

    bigman told us that we had been practicing the keep possession at all costs in the pre-season. The drill where you’d lose possession if the ball hit the ground? This isn’t by accident. They trained this all summer. Incredible misread of the rule change’s influence on the game. Can we...

    Review R2: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Western Bulldogs

    Like a lot of supporters on here, I’ve been here since the start. That’s a lot of games of footy watching our team. When, oh when, are we going to get it through our thick skulls that giving opportunities to blame umpire’s for a loss is our own fault? We should know by now that if it comes...

    Opinion Non-Crows AFL 13: Cyclone Season

    I didn’t really think he was bumping he did get him high though - the idea that you can get off on any past record alone should be scrubbed BUT it isn’t so if anyone gets off … he gets off. The next player done for the bare minimum contact that gets a week - that’s when everyone will start...

    Bigman’s Training Reports (Update: 11th March)

    Wetting footballs. Not really. Not comparable to playing in the rain. Dimensions of the ground - yeah - that changes strategy so you need to practice it. As far as night games go, teams need to practice that for sure … but having a single session under lights - at a different venue - before...

    Bigman’s Training Reports (Update: 11th March)

    Wayne’s agreeing with me - I’m reconsidering the whole thing. Sorry that bold stuff was a bit snippy. I guess I was a bit sick of the boots going into the team for the tiniest of things before we have even played a minutes worth of footy. I personally do not believe that one ounce of...

    Bigman’s Training Reports (Update: 11th March)

    It’s fun to use bold isn’t it 🤔 Just picking the words you want rather than having to read the whole post. I think we can agree Frogster that there is only one way to get acclimatised to playing real games the MCG under lights … and is not a single practice session under completely different...

    Bigman’s Training Reports (Update: 11th March)

    How is practicing under lights in Adelaide going to get them acclimatised to playing Collingwood at the MCG at night? Seems like a stretch.

    Game Day Crows V Doctors pre-season

    I love how everyone in the media dismisses RT until the games start … It’s all about Darcy being the best tall forward with unique skills below his knees. It’s all about Jackson being the most unique tall in the game - he can go forward, he can ruck, he can play as a midfielder. It’s all...

    Opinion Non-Crows AFL 13: Cyclone Season

    Conflict of interest is not of interest. If he’d led with “firstly, my daughter is Jamara’s manager” it would have made more sense! It’s an example of what you are up against in this league. That’s the stuff they are happy to have in the open. The reality is much worse. I’m not pointing at...
