2nds Crows in SANFL season 2017

[marty36]

Best for the team sees Thompson as third by the independent observers with Wigg best and Obrien second and Leigh 4 th and Jenkins 5th

This should see Wigg get a run both Thompson and obrien probably won't and maybe JJ

Don't tell me our first round draft oick might start to push for selection sometime in his 3rd season.

Huh???

 

[1970crow]

It used to only be 1 OOTF for Thommo before the pitchfork crew were castigating him..

I don't recall Thommo kicking OOF. You're possibly thinking of Mackay after 2 bounces and under no pressure kicking it 4 rows deep.

Went yesterday hoping to see a Westies victory alas not to be.
The first half was all West really and in my book the only two players making a real impact on the game for the Crows were Beech and Wigg.
Wigg was everywhere, played on the ball, does have tendency to go sideways with many of his kicks but he alone kept driving the Crows forward. Beech is such a good mark, was a threat every time the ball went near him. In the first half Jenkins was the player of the last two weeks and easily beaten by Tom Keough. His effort was in a word crap, needs to buy a dictionary and learn the word 'chase.'

Second half a different Crows team turned up. O'Brien started to dominate the centre bounces and the back line in Doodee and Cheney began to show their obvious poise and class.
Wigg was still running a muck and Beech took a pearler of a pack mark (definite highlight reel). Keath chipped in for a goal with a strong mark and the Crows were on their way.
West were poor in front of goals, Rankine should have kicked an easy left foot goal but chose the stupid right foot banana on the run( not Eddie yet!) and Carger missed a monty.
Jenkins became transformed as the ball started falling his way and his effort improved. He is a classy footballer and only needs a small opening to make a difference. His second half was full of merit, four goals but I wouldn't be elevating him just yet.
West poor kicking at goals continued in the last quarter, Middleton the culprit. The Crows got it out the centre in the last quarter with ease, Wigg again the mainstay.
Overall Wigg was BOG by a mile, Beech definitely needs a chance because in the air he's such a threat, (one game wouldn't hurt selectors).
O'Brien came into the game and gave the Crows first use,definitely another player who needs a chance.
Doodee is a solid player...safe, but he doesn't provide much rebound. When he gets over his injuries and has a chance in the AFL he'll be a dependable back. It's up to him to take the game on more.
Dear played fullback because of Jenkins inclusion and looked out of sorts early, goes to ground too often. Improved as game went on.
A mention of Ben Jarman; small but a good decision maker, he gave off the ball to all the right targets well worth persisting with.

No way Crows win a premiership with that mixture of AFL players and local top ups, too hard to form a cohesive unit with so many changes each week.

Huh? It's his second season ...

 

[Golumless]

Regress?

He was tracking well at Geelong (High BnF finish in his only season in their reserve side there, which is a good sign for a first year player).

 

[jo172]

Some of those Doedee marks/spoils in the highlights are exceptional.

Critics of his drafting on here going to look very stupid soon.

Some quality highlights there from a number of players. That pick up and goal by BJ reminds me of his uncle more than his father

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Doedee's 3 contested marks in highlights were massive highlights !!!!

Agreed - has AFL quality all over him

Just needs some injury free time. His 3rd year will be his year

Which may be at another club. He is out of contract.

Seems to have really good timing of his jump, rarely goes to ground, and competes hard. A real balanced mover who looks a natural athlete.

The perfect prototype for the modern AFL medium defender.

 

[BunjiMac]

Loved what I've seen from himmelberg too.

O'Brien looks like he's ready.

Beech took some pretty impressive marks too, but I just can't see him ever getting a game.

 

[Elite Crow]

That crowd, ouch

Just hope it's for the AFC not the GFC.

That is all.

 

[radiojake]

That crowd, ouch

There seems to be one supporter who is cheering hard for the Crows

reckon they've changed ends each quarter

 

[Mego Red]

So what? Probably a quarter of the league is.

Most players don't obsessively follow vB around to learn how to be a pro.

Been injured so silly to sign now

Get some AFL games soon and play well and then sign . Must have a good manager

 

[Shaz2012]

I hope so. Burton was re-signed with a year left. Think the crows need to be a little pro-active. Good that they have done this with Harto. I think Doedee is a definite re-sign. So wish they could get it done early.

I think that was Alex, he looked on fire
