Game Day Adelaide vs Brisbane: 4-5 Season alive or 3-6 Give us picks

[maxlilly]

Someone needs to save the highlights of that Ned running out of defense not knowing what to do.

Which one ?

Burgess named as non playing emergency and seeing Tex talking intently with Darren Burgess 40 minutes before the game teljs me he was playing injured.

Probably borderline decision not to play or play.

It is not borderline for us. We love playing injured players.

 

[taurus]

Mother's day gathering so missed the game. Saw that the Crows were just ahead at the half time.

I know there is a lot of emotions here but why is subbing Curtin who played a bad game an issue? No one can predict an injury.

What poor calls did Nicksy make? Legimate criticism please.

Tex did nothing today, literally nothing.

Conceded a lot of clean possession to oppo. Definitely among his worst of the last 2-3 years. Might be due a rest, he did say quality over quantity this year. Maybe he plays the G against Pies and rests against Eagles at home.

Probably so and his movement was back to how it was early season.
Back maybe flared again.

He kicked 2 of our 13 goals. I think more importantly we have seen we don't have the confidence to move the ball without him there.

My point overall is I dont think the squad is good enough, we won't just naturally improve and make the top 8 next year either.

Whilst we're playing with Laird and Crouch as full time mids we're no hope of genuinely contending. We're just plugging away hoping to fall into the bottom of the 8.

One was a gimme in the goal square. The marks he conceded meant he was a net-negative on the team.

I don’t want this to sound like we’re bagging him. He’s 34, we need to manage him better. We’ve seen this year the difference between fit Tex and injured Tex. I can’t help but think that if Thilthorpe was playing Walker wouldn’t have tonight. Fog has been really good the last two weeks so hopefully we can start to back him to take over and Tex can take a backwards step and not leave such a huge structural hole if he does need to rest.

Watch it again! Just stopped running and then put his head in his hands afterwards because he knew he didn't try to get the ball he thought it was going to someone else and didn't know there was no one else around

That was Rachelle's heck up not Fogs

 

[kirky]

Curtin was worst on ground

Wasn’t Curtin on Ah Chee and Cameron in the first half?

Because you don’t make that call at halftime. At three quarter time, maybe but at halftime, no way.

You can't blame the fog kick for the loss


But you can blame McHenry who missed from 5 meters out...

Rachelle made Fogarty look bad. He could have and should have marked that for an easy shot at goal. The weak campaigner thought a Brisbane player was near and didn't want to take a hit so didn't go for the overhead mark. He's fast getting the name footsteps

2nd gamer playing on someone with 10 pre seasons under their belt.

Surely smith can f**k right off and Curtin used in that spot. Can’t be worse

I thought Smith played one of his better games today. Certainly far better than he had been.

 

[jenny61_99]

He might have thought a Brisbane player was behind him too the soft campaigner

Ridiculous ******* statement. He took some gutsy marks today and went in hard.

 

[crowholder]

Dawson wins the toss, win confirmed.

or non loss confirmed

Ridiculous ******* statement. He took some gutsy marks today and went in hard.

And pulled out of the most important. Weak campaigner

No just a disappointed Crows fan seeing it how it was

I didn't see it. I thought he entered the conversation of playing like a reanimated corpse.

Huh?

Played soft footy all night, provided no run and carry and even his strength of long flat kicks to advantage was absent.

 

[Mostyn]

He didn't pull out because he thought he was going to be hit. He clearly left it for someone - but there was no one there.

 

[Mostyn]

It was a pretty ridiculous comment.

 

[Barneythecrab]

Ridiculous ******* statement. He took some gutsy marks today and went in hard.

I reckon it was more of a blunder between he and berg, reckon Rachelle new berg was behind but thought he was closer and pulled out at the last second.

 

[NSolis]

Wasn’t Curtin on Ah Chee and Cameron in the first half?

He was mostly on Morris. Also had moments on Ah Chee and Hipwood.

Michalanney was on Cameron.

Luckily we only have 1 ned

I felt it was too early.

If he was poor then a half time rev up by the coach and 10 minutes to get it going would have been my option.

I also think it was too early just for that reason an injury happened. It squeezes your rotations out. If you sub in the last quarter you have looked at your rotations and figure the extra energy will balance out the fatigue factor

Noone can predict an injury but you can minimise the hurt when it happens
