2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread - Part III

Brad Johnson showing why ex players shouldn't commentate on their old clubs games.

This is fantastic, wish we'd play this hard.

This is fantastic, wish we'd play this hard.

Especially against Geelong.

Wenger signs a 2yr deal, now Burgess signs as their main fitness guy.
Great news for lfc supporters.

 

[Big Crow]

Melbourne really are great at playing unsociable, aggressive football. hard to believe they are coached by Simon Goodwin.

There is the unsociable side but they also have a genuine toughness and intensity that we don't. Viney, Petracca, Lewis, not to mention Jones who has carried them for years.

That last ten minutes was fierce from both sides. How would our players have handled that? I'm not confident they'd respond well.

 

[Mike Smyth]

Yeah, we struggle against that. The Dees with Gawn and Hogan back in the side in this mood are not a team I want to meet in the finals (along with Sydney).

Yep. If we could face GC ever week of the finals we may just go all the way.

 

[Mike Smyth]

i wish we had the same aggression like what Melbourne are doing to the Dogs.

We all do mate. The AFC haven't plated unsociable football for nearly 20 years.

 

[pjcrows]

Oh well. Dogs fans won't be too distressed. Wish I could drown my sorrows with a Premiership Blu-Ray pack.

Just Port or Richmond would be fine

lyons - 24 possessions, 2 goals,
gibbs - 43 possessions, 2 goals.

AFC - midfield is the biggest weakness

"something about something from within"

How people quickly forget that Lyons added little to our midfield last year.

Even if we had him this year it would make little to no difference.

 

[Iron]

The Bulldogs have a massive hangover.

Apparently the president said that if Tom Boyd doesn't ever play a decent game again it won't matter because his contract has more than paid for itself after the grand final. Terry Wallace was implying that the mindset of the club is that they believe that by winning the flag last year that their job has already been done.

Not all premiers can be Geelong/Hawthorn/Brisbane-esque flag-after-flag all-conquering teams over 5 or so years. If we were to throw all our eggs into one basket and net a flag this year I'd consider it a job done. At least for a few years.

 

[Scorpus]

Oh well. Dogs fans won't be too distressed. Wish I could drown my sorrows with a Premiership Blu-Ray pack.

The last time we made a grand final, everyone was using VHS.

VHS.

 

[secondary]

This game is very good to watch, love the pressure, the tension, the fights. Melbourne aging really well, but I can see the dogs fighting back hard here.
It just looks so different to how we play.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Haha

They've remastered the old 4:3 1997/98 coverage to upscaled widescreen HD. Blurays out now.

Yeah in that version it is Modra instead of Ellen.

Doggies screaming like stuck pigs when they no longer get the rub from the Umps...

Did you think. I thought he showed signs at various stages last year that he could become a handy player. A much better option than McKay, Douglas IMO

 

[Moonwatcher]

I don't see the Crows getting another one up on the Dogs in the finals so it would be nice if they didn't make it.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Bullies lose today, I can't see them making top 4 & I doubt they can win the flag outside the top 4 this year.

 

[Moonwatcher]

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I hope Melbourne destroy the western bulldogs

If ex players weren't commentating on their old clubs they wouldn't know the player's names.

Hawthorn were very similar in 09 after their first flag.

Dogs won a bit before most expected like the Hawks did and dropped away after getting on the gas too hard. Looks so very much the same.

Might have to take Melbourne very seriously
