Adelaide vs GWS Giants - AFL 2017, R1 - 2:50 @AO

[WaynesWorld19]

Oh yeah
Our world didn't end today, or even our season. We were walloped though, I think the risk after that kind of loss is not facing up to it. I always thought the Crows were contenders.

We're definitely contenders, that's for sure ......and a good depth list

 

[DD#23]

That's a simplistic opinion as to why we lost against West Coast

obviously its not the only reason, but we've been losing must-win games as favourites for over ten years.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

As far as i know, you have to have a midfield on the ground each week ......GWS has on paper arguably the best midfield in the AFL, and lost .......so what's your point ?

Collingwood take the cake with the best midfield

 

[Crowbots are dead]

NO WAY should GWS be flag favourites after that effort, sure the hosts were red-hot, but the giants should've done a helluva lot better. Then again they'll probably again destroy us in 3 weeks...

No one should be favourites at this stage.wide open this year, like last year.

 

[Greasyrhys]

No one should be favourites at this stage.

Agree, way too early to call

 

[Crowbots are dead]

R

Betts a bit selfish there

rubbish. What about his beautiful crosses ? One if the least selfish footballers . If anything he needs to ease up on sharing it around sometimes

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Sloane, M.Crouch, Atkins, Cameron, Milera, B.Crouch - cracking midfield.

Douglas also went alright today and Hampton started to click in the final term

 

[Rabman]

I said before I have my reservations with GWS. When they play in front of a big crowds interstate they fold, today was the same. Until they can play in front on the big stage with the crowd 99% of them against them, they won't get near the premiership. You can't just win games playing in front of a man and his dog and not turn up when the atmospheres electric and the stadium is full.

That's a smashing if I ever saw one

And you still need to do some research.

I was referring to a couple of his misses early where the give off was on and he missed. No slight against him and he had a great game in the end

 

[ok.crows]

As a side note, Rory Laird is a gun & will lock in his AA spot by round 7

I think Rory Atkins is about to take the next step as well very promising signs a lot of Jake Kelly hype in the pre - season
I see no reason this guy can't be ranked in the top 2-3 Adelaide's mids by seasons end very versatile and can kick a snag

One can never have too many Rorys.

 

[Go the Guts]

Adelaides skills look atrocious early. GWS are doing nothing going forward though.

Yeah we were shocking.

 

[Go the Guts]

Adelaides skills are horrible. You'd hope it's just rust but they keep coughing up the pill.

Yeah we're terrible. Really scared about the showdown.....

 

[Go the Guts]

Crows have a horrid backline

Yeah we only won by 56 against the supposed premiers. Terrible backline.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Yeah we only won by 56 against the supposed premiers. Terrible backline.

Not sure how you work that one out logically.

 

[Go the Guts]

Won't be the last side to get whalloped by GWS this year

Or the first. Bad call.

 

[Go the Guts]

Not sure how you work that one out logically.

I work it out logically because you're the worst poster on Bigfooty.

 

[Cleric]

Totally agree with your comments ......however he is getting better each season, and Atkins still very young

If today and the JLT are an indication then for sure.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Cool, attacking the man instead of the actual comments. Having a good defence isn't about how much you won by. You conceded 91 points still, from just 47 inside 50's while absolutely dominating a team that was very lacklustre. Add to that the fact that Luke Brown, Jake Kelly and Kyle Hartigan may as well play for the opponents when kicking the ball and you have a horrid backline.

 

[TW Sherrin]

its was the loss they had to have....

 

[Go the Guts]

So basically the GWS version of Matt Crouch.

There you go again.

You're still the worst. I didn't even read what you wrote.

 

[Bradesmaen]

So basically, you're being a little child who had his toys taken away. Good day to you sir.

 

[Golumless]

Yeah we were shocking.

Yeah we're terrible. Really scared about the showdown.....

To be fair, our skills weren't good.

We fumbled a lot and missed a lot of easy kicks, especially early.

We were lucky in a sense that GWS skills were equally as bad.
