Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 1 - Giants v Crows Sun March 19th 1:10pm AEDT (GS)

[Scythe94]

I just don't understand how GWS are this bad

 

[Cyclonus]

Why aren't Adelaide wearing their clash strip?

It's red. Would be a clash.

 

[HTPunter]

Not sure Coniglio nor Kelly have the 2 way attitude that justifies their big salaries. Whitfield too.

Can you imagine a Geelong side starting with this lack of intensity not having Selwood or Dangerfield lay a big tackle? 1 tackle is a disgrace

 

[Elmer_Judd]

I am certain Rankine will be worth the money and draft pick(s) Adelaide gave up for him

He is going to be a match winner for them and Crows fans will love him

 

[The 747]

They rely on individual talent not system. Always have.

 

[Cyclonus]

Red time opposition goals is a Crows lock.

What happened to their white jumper

Is it possible that they spiritually and mentally have become deflated and fatigued from all their best teammates leaving and decided what is the point in busting a gut for GWS anymore ?

Geelong and Dangerwood never had to face that problem

Big money on big disposal players.

Kelly, Coniglio, Whitfield get stats but they don’t have enough of a dip on tough days.

A pretty mediocre Hawks side flogged them by 10 goals back when it snowed in 2019. Just can’t remember the Giants performing in tough conditions. Today a bit too hot perhaps.

Their spine is probably the worst in the league

Is it possible that demanding big salaries (and probably the captaincy) was part of the reason their teammates left?

Way too much smoke about Cogs about the captaincy vote to not be true. If I and my mates voted for a bloke and the CEO and player managers stepped in, I’d be pissed too.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Rankine taking the piss. Whitfield looks a shell of the player he was

 

[Cyclonus]

Imagine kicking straight

 

[Chaisa]

If Rankine was a bit more accurate he'd already have BOG locked up, he's killing them.

 

[RustyCage]

100+ win for the crows coming up, GWS are a rabble

I think there definitely can be question marks about Cogs and his so called attitude (although he has been cruelled by injuries) but Josh Kelly has been nothing but the consumate professional for GWS.

 

[Cyclonus]

What happened to their white jumper

Ditched it a few years ago. Had a gold one and a red one, now they've ditched the gold and only have red. I didn't mind the white tbh.

 

[CrowToon]

Maybe Port will lend us the wharf piers to lessen the clash

 

[NonPhixion]

2 tackles in a quarter is pathetic from GWS

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

Crows look great
Murray with great hands down back

 

[Elmer_Judd]

100+ win for the crows coming up, GWS are a rabble

Is that hardly a surprise given they have been losing at least 2 or 3 (minimum) best 22/required players in the last 5 years or so.

I think we need to start talking about giving them a stringent and monitored COLA again tbh.

Port turned it around yesterday after looking in real strife. Still don't think gws can be this bad for the whole match. 1 tackle for the first quarter won't continue.

Also it’s well reported Dangerwood played for unders - helps retaining

He does but I think he also gets a few perks in the process. Unders on real estate, free cars, etc.
