Game Day Adelaide vs Geelong - Rd 1, 2021

[CrowsB4hoes]

Rowe and Murphy are streets above Stengel. Expressways even.

Rowe and Murphy are streets above Stengel. Expressways even.

Murphy's disposal is horrible though.

 

[baldandbroke]

Amazing what can happen when you select quality kids.

Hang on. Can't have it both ways.

I thought we picked an old team with no youth? Wasn't that the complaint before the game?

What age is that youngster up forward that kicked 5?

 

[UcantCme]

Spend 12 months working on improving the culture and wins like this can happen.

That last quarter was all heart and pride.

Nicks is not only building a game plan but he is also installing some heart and soul into the club

Nicks having the time with the players I think will make the difference compared to last years Covid s**t.

Berry plays for the majority. Frampton wasn’t a horrible forward today.

Tex was seriously amazing today a lot of knockers in his game and plenty on this board but by god he was great.

Rowe belongs. McHenry showed plenty. Scholl you could boof every day and twice on Sunday.

I wasn’t expecting it but * me this is a hell of a win even if it’s round one.

 

[proman_x]

Great win guys, congrats. Good to see the pressure and desperation. Look forward to meeting you guys in the proper season ahead....

 

[AmericanCrow]

Never a doubt

 

[Dirty Bird]

Geelong by 40+
Port to win
Brisbane to win

Threw a cheeky bet on, let's see how it goes.

Must admit, your strike rate at the moment is giving me hope

 

[GreyCrow]

Amazing win guys, you've got a keeper in Nicks, going to be a very good coach.

Must be very rare for Grand finalist from previous year to lose to previous years wooden spooner in round 1.

Texan back to his best and hope Dangerfield the campaigner gets weeks.

Last time was 1971 - and yes it was Carlton that lost - sorry

 

[cmndstab]

Damn, that was a gutsy win. We were spent but managed to just hold on - there were several certain goals that were saved by desperate efforts, primarily from our younger brigade.

I already adore Jimmy Rowe - reminds me of a much younger Ian Callinan

. He just gets football.

The only disappointing part was that Stephen Rowe wasn't on the mic when Jimmy kicked his first. Could only manage well done boy after the fact.

I got the feeling listening live, he wouldn't allow himself to call it and Goodings stepped in.

Rowie commentating on Crows this year is going to be even more fun than usual

Yep - and we used the 2020 crappiest AFL year in living memory to rebuild the culture. Yesterday was not a fluke. We've been building towards that for over 12 months and Nicksy is going to better than Clarkson - bookmark it.

Big call. Possibly slightly over-the-top call.

 

[crowsup]

Never a doubt


Liar!!!!!

 

[fairfooty]

Big call. Possibly slightly over-the-top call.

Yeah probably - a tad over-exhuberant!! Was still on a high after Saturday!! Still... I really like Nicksy's style and the way he goes about it. I think he's going to be very very good for us.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Rowe and Murphy are streets above Stengel. Expressways even.

A player with the right attitude will more likely succeed than a more talented player who is unprofessional.

His presser was refreshing.

We picked the oldest available team with Dmac getting a SANFL tune up. Didn't have to rush Lynch back. But what it showed is that in the past when we had out of form or injured seniors, we should have trusted the kids.

is still in contention to play Brisbane on Friday night at GMHBA Stadium after scans revealed the injury to his AC joint isn’t as bad as first thought.

Colour me shocked

 

[Dirty Bird]

Dont finish work til nearly 11 tonight - wondering the odds of avoiding scores and watching replay once home

Something tells me just checking the score at some point will be the better thing to do in the end

How'd it go radiojake ?

 

[Dirty Bird]

Patty all alone in the goal square. Mcpherson running off him

tbh - he put in so little effort at the beginning of the game, you could've WALKED off him
