Preview Changes: R3 vs Gold Coast

[skam85]

Agree with this; and until this changes we will be also-rans.

that would have to involve us getting out of an also-jog first

Everything wrong with the AFC is Atkins getting to 100 games.

Nope, Reilly, VB and especially Mackay hitting 200 before him. We were well and truely rogered before Rat got to 100. Systemic issues. Rat is just the most recent undeserved of a milestone. VB, Reilly and Mackay first. And don’t forget Thommo’s 300th. It’s how we roll.

 

[1970crow]

Henderson’s ten times the player Atkins is..

the problem is that Hendo is 10 times the player Mackay is. That’s the cultural issue.

 

[skam85]

Atkins being one of our two picks in the post-Tippett national draft is a direct correlation to him getting to 100 games despite never setting the world on fire.

“See. We didn’t do that bad out of the Tippett sanctions. We have a 100-game stalwart of the club”

My main memory of Atkins is unfortunate attempt at playing on if the GF, which should have been called back of the umps were serious.

But he's had some good moments, I generally don't think he's been used particularly well though.

Agree that he has done a few decent things, but of all the guys we have blooded over the last few years Atkins is one of the ones that has actually been played in his most suited position

 

[cleanhands]

Good rap up by the coach CEY “especially at centre bounces “

 

[1970crow]

How bad are we going since the “good judges” declared the MAESTRO the best coach in the league and all our selections spot on because nobody else knew anything. Maybe they’ll blow up for embarrassment and return 6 months later. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.

 

[GROTTO]

Everything wrong with the AFC is Atkins getting to 100 games.

Having a 220 game veteran on our list that probably wouldnt get to 100 games with any other Vic Club is probably the bigger issue.

 

[1970crow]

Remember those posters that believed we were still contending last year and that the MAESTRO had it all in hand? And that Dougie and Sauce selections were spot on. Must have been devastated when their favourite coach was binned. Tick, tick.

 

[BrissyCrow]

One bad game?

Ag

One bad game?

Against a team that is playing a really aggressive style and playing very well. I think there will be a few teams this year that will feel the wrath of port.

CEY has always been very good in the centre, it's his inability for defensive running is where he gets caught out when the opposition midfield is on top. Hence the same issue with M.Crouch, mind you positioning him as an outside receiver isn't going to assist with inability for defensive running which make the coach telling him to get more outside ball even more stranger. Get him back in and under and leave him there.

We were still contending for the 8 last year but definitely not for the premiership after the break.....

 

[GrommoT]

Someone took the bet, and I’m sure I need to pay. You sure it wasn’t you?

Done. The full hundgey?

 

[GROTTO]

Crows have generally speaking always been a mathematical chance of making the 8 almost every year till at least July.

This is unusual territory Crows fans find themselves in.

Tick, tick, tick, tick BOOM!

Still making up shit. Just bump the thread where I said Dougie or Sauce should be playing last year.

Provide the EVIDENCE, it should be easy.

Nah, easier to make up shit.

Is Thommo still servicing you know who????

This is the single biggest issue with our current side. Fundamental to all our issues with regards to the midfield.

If he wants to be like Andrew Jarman, he should go work for Triple M.

Yes a very unusual situation. Its going to be tough having all those teams that we have bagged over the years (Carlton for one) sitting higher up the ladder than we will be.

 

[1970crow]

Brenton Davy, I owe you $100.

 

[1970crow]

Tick, tick, tick, yawn, tick.

Found it Brenton Davey took your bet
Not sure how to bring it up, you’ll find it Rnd 2 Adelaide v Pt Adelaide

[Deaneus!]

Half the point of an audit is to show the entity is a going concern. "We'll be here next year, you vultures"

Odd thing to be arguing about.

 

[Deaneus!]

We are dead motherless last and I want it to stay that way.

I will be barracking for Freo as HAM tonight. Let's start the gap between us and 17th.

For too long, we have embraced mediocrity in mid-table finishes while our board & admin lapped at the trough.

Through our own hubris, we are now staring into the abyss - and, like Neitzsche said, it is staring into us also.

I don't blame Fagan at all - I think he's delivered admirably with regard to sponsorships, new positions, AFLW premierships. Other people at the club, no so much.

But we don't have a cup. Our squad is shot. We must bottom out totally, having refused to concede this is a legitimate strategy for list renewal (having refused every other way of doing this). It is time for us to come last and take the #1 pick. Our attitude to this competition means we have truly earned it.

Deaneus!, have you gone crazy?

Not at all. I'm more alive than ever before. I pursue this course of action with the zeal of the condemned. I want our draftees to look a million dollars. I'm happy to win as many games as we can, so long as we still come last. I want a wooden spoon to be the legacy of those in charge of our club, those who took short cuts, who hid behind weasel words, who shortchanged us the truth.

And I want the shame of that spoon to give us a #1 draft pick, so that we can rise as a phoenix, not a Crow, in coming seasons.

I will spend the rest of the season barracking for the teams we play against, insofar as we stay last.

Forgive me if this is too much to bear. But I take up this standard to give us a better dawn.

GO YOU GOLD COAST SUNS!!!

Hi Deaneous.

Love your spirit.

I accidentally got pretty drunk tonight and I also want to say go pick #1, and go the Rats!
