Adelaide v Fremantle Match Day Thread

[cmndstab]

You would think so however he is in a Crows jumper so dont bet on it

Fortunately Rich already has one or else he'd be a show again this week.


Healy saying Freo won't even get six wins this year.

 

[cmndstab]

Anyone else very happy with Symes' return?
I'm not his biggest fan, but he's been amongst our best. Very good game, and a very courageous mark a second ago.

Great goal there, Porps.

He's been Symes. Made some mistakes but was courageous and will never die wondering. Welcome back Brad Symes

 

[ronnie1234]

its over. well done macca you were brilliant in the last quarter

GO CROWS

 

[Dandy_GO]

Soft 50 to us.

 

[cmndstab]

Four goals up and the Crows are eating up the last minute of time. 50m to VB will take him inside 50, let's see if he can avoid missing again.

 

[cmndstab]

VB kicks it out on the full, hahaha.

Crows win by 24 points!


What the hell, we win the game, the siren blows, and before the song even starts we go to an ad break? You'd better show us the damn song this time channel 7!

 

[RoosterLad]

Disgraceful kick by van Berlo but a super win after I thought we had ****ed it.

Needed the 4 points today with a loss coming up next week.

 

[cmndstab]

Well done Crows. Ugly as sin match but the Crows seem to be able to get up in close scraps more often than not nowadays

 

[xamol]

Very happy with the response of the young players after Freo had a good challenge.
Good signs.

Edwards = legend

 

[Crow-mo]

great last quarter fight back. geez how good was walker, in space, contesting.., that kid will kick 8 goals in a match sometime this season. reminds me a bit of a young matty lloyd with his body control in the air, the way he flies.

reilly good, and Gill did some nice things though that 50 was shitful. the releasing handball for McLeod's end on end goal made up for it though.

danger... well indeed.

 

[RoosterLad]

McLeod's goal won that game I reckon. We were in all sorts of trouble until he bobbed up with a moment of genius. Another fine game by Macca.

 

[cmndstab]

Final score: 11.14 (80) to 15.14 (104).


Dangerfield ends up with 20 touches. Walker gets 12 touches, three goals, 8 marks. 14 touches to Petrenko. More handballs than kicks again, that's funny, I thought you couldn't win matches when you had more handballs than kicks

 

[cmndstab]

We matched Freo with hitouts (32 to 31). Interestingly Tippett top-scored for hitouts in our team.

 

[Stephen2]

It's only one man's opinion, but fanfooty.com.au gave Walker the * for BOG. Anyone think he was that good? I've had no vision today.

Should he get Brownlow votes today?

 

[thed]

good to get the points

good to get more experience into young guys

walker 2 goals and assist in last quarter when it counted.

dangerfield ... will be player

petrenko ... shows a bit of x factor

otten ... great job as tall defender by the midfileder/linkman.

special mention to thompson who stood up in last quarter

but ..... Fremantle are crap.

 

[cmndstab]

Don't think Walker was BOG but he was influentual in the last quarter when it mattered.

Otten had 20 touches, gee I wouldn't have picked that. 4 tackles and 4 marks too.

Palmer's miss definitely helped our cause as well...if that were a goal, could've slowed our momentum.

was mostly handballs though...more of a link man...didn't look like ever wanting to kick it. Dangerfield had 20 possies as well, but his were definitely much more damaging than Otten's.

 

[Dagless]

Danger was a beast in the second half...

cmnd, early on I thought you guys were ruining your own chances with the happy handball use, and better teams would have punished you more than the Dockers did. But you guys stepped up in the 2nd-3rd quarters, despite the shitty wind conditions.

Think you guys should have won by more in the end if you didn't lift the foot off the pedal in the early stages of the last.

But overall, well done, youngsters shining again with some necessary stabilisation by the old brigade (especially that beaut Macca goal)

Congrats on the win.

 

[cmndstab]

Pavlich held to 3 goals for the match, wonder how he would have gone against Bock?

 

[Masten_Magic]

thanks crows for coming through
helped me get one more tip right!

Hahaha, I was being facetious I like our handball but not when it's overdone.

Thanks for the comments Guess you like seeing Fremantle beaten.

Walker being interviewed on TV, he's got a real deep voice. Sounds totally different to when he's screeching away at training!

 

[Stephen2]

So, Walker or Dangerfield for Rising Star nom?

 

[cmndstab]

So I went to the toilet and when I came back the TV coverage was over. I presume this means we again don't get to see the song in the rooms at the end? If so, someone in channel 7 needs to be shot.


According to 5AA, Gill hurt his hamstring and may not play next week.

Meh, don't care either way with Freo... Always lived in SA since Freo have joined the competition so I don't have that home bred hatred normal Eagles fans do... Their fans are another thing though .

I just get fed a lot of info day in day out about the SA teams so I have an unhealthy interest in them come game day.

Anyway, good luck for the rest of the year

Thanks man, we'll try not to get smashed by 10 goals by your mob again later in the year!
