Preview Changes vs. Hawks

[adelaidecrows]

4 weeks for that is pathetic.

Should've got a week, at most, for being a dickhead.

nope, that was a light penalty. what he did was extremely dangerous.

 

[Slippery Pete]

I dont know if this has been posted anywhere...

Umpires for Friday night...brace yourself...

Mathew Nicholls (15), Ray Chamberlain (18), Shane McInerney (30)

The trifecta, are you ****ing kidding me?

Appointments not made yet.

 

[Slippery Pete]

There's the ball game right there.


Nicholls will watch the 2012 prelim again to fire himself up..."some of my best work"

He'll be watching it with only one hand on the remote.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Appointments not made yet.

So he just made that up?

 

[Jars458]

So he just made that up?

I think so, I went to the official appointment site and nothing there.

 

[Combathorse]

Nicholls was the maggot that absolutely CRUCIFIED us in the 2012 prelim if anyone was in ANY doubt.

Just thinking about that game makes me want to punch a ****ing hole in my wall. That perfect textbook tackle that S. Thompson laid that was called in the back even though he basically shirt fronted him, the L. Thompson advantage call etc...

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Numbers in brackets are IQ I presume?

Mcinerney must be dyslexic then..

The Brodie Smith throw call from 70 meters away by the non-controlling ump when he clearly tapped it, Dave Mackay's 50 meters for a regulation spoil attempt, Jordan Lewis getting bumped in the head by his teammate and scoring a free for it, Cyril getting a free because Mackay and Danger collided with each other near him, Buddy's headlock on Rutten. Too many to list.

Nicholls is a blatant cheat. Clear worst umpire in the league. If we have drawn him again, we are screwed. Razor makes an enormous number of shit calls and absolutely loves the spotlight, but he seems to dick over the whole league fairly evenly. Nicholls is just a cheat who plays favourites.

Need a big effort from the 19th man. Expect a few shit calls early, however, as they attempt to show that they're 'not going to be intimidated by the crowd.'

No it wasn't.

NEVER IN ANY GAME have i ever known or had a desire to know who the umpires are ......they could be mickey mouse for all i care

When the day comes that players are perfect on the field with decisions, marking & kicking ....then i'll pay attention to the umpires

Did umpire cost Collingwood the game against GC
Clinton young? .....what about forwards not able to hit the side of a barn?

But our society is conditioned to blame the person in charge .......PM, Bosses and umpires .....it's about our process of de-stressing from life

Anything you cant blame the government for is no ones fault.

Nah take it out on the umpire ...as your defacto replacement for your boss (or maybe wife) .......depends on who wears the pants in the family

 

[King Elvis]

I agree... But they did **** us in that prelim

Oh shut up you loon. The players and coach cop it worse overall than anyone on here. A consistently shit umpire deserves to be called out, as they are very capable of influencing results. Administering the rules of our game is a huge responsibility and, while nobody can reasonably expect them to get it right all the time, it's perfectly reasonable to be upset by poor or one-sided performances.

Your conclusion is blatantly false. Take your ill-conceived social commentary elsewhere.

 

[Stinger...]

So he just made that up?

Nope.

 

[crowsup]

To be fair, Otten has already copped a Buddy headlock

I still have no idea how he could have got away with it.

 

[WildWestin]

Looking forward to Friday night. Think our boys are gonna put on a good show.

 

[Wright Away]

Nicholls is a dog.

 

[WWSD]

I was looking at the Crows team on the weekend and there are some great draft steals. Players who were taken very late in the draft over the years but have gone onto become good players for the Crows.

Taylor Walker - 2007 National draft (pick 75)
Brodie Martin - 2007 rookie draft
Rory Sloane - 2008 National draft (pick 44)
Ricky Henderson - 2009 rookie draft
Matthew Jaench - 2009 rookie draft
Matthew Wright - 2010 rookie draft
Luke Brown - GWS pre-list trade
Brad Crouch - Mini-Draft
Rory Laird - 2012 rookie draft

Yeah, good post, but Taylor W was a project player we took on as a kid and nurtured. The scheme no longer exists.
