Game Day Crows to tease: Showdown 17/08/2024

[GreyCrow]

What's Nicks' reason for Curtin only having 49% game time?

He did some really nice things in the 1st quarter. A few clever blocks in the midfield too.

Tank

 

[DJ75]

If Berry could be clean with his first touch, he would be elite

 

[cleanhands]

49% TOG

Next lowest on the ground for either team is 60%

As close to being out of the team as Nicks can get him without copping grief for dropping him.

Certainly handles him strangely

We are 15th. It's illogical. We need him to get confidence for next year because God knows we aren't getting a gun midfielder via trade - the clear area we don't compete against the good teams.

Port fans are so pixelly OMG

their mouths are so low res for real

 

[Pugsley]

Certainly handles him strangely

Better footballer than Nicks was already at this stage of his career.

 

[Danger in Texas]

If we win, this is immediate Showdown folklore

 

[Moonwatcher]

I'm sure Curtin will get 49% of the whole game. Not terrible for such a high intensity match from an inexperienced body. Criticise Nicks for Curtin being inexperienced but perhaps not for this game.

 

[Billy Cart]

I thought they scored from breaking the ball out of the contest....

Just the JHF goal first of the second

Can’t work out what he’s trying to do with him

Definitely puts us ahead of folklore. Especially after Dawson cancelled Monfries goal years ago.

 

[Pugsley]

Can’t work out what he’s trying to do with him

It makes the knowledgeable fan base wonder as well.

Love it!! If you can back it up on the field then I'm all for the banter. The Port supporters must be hating him!

 

[dblstR]

Lots of shitty umpiring both ways, i doubt we can sustain our pressure from the last 10 minutes that quarter but if we can keep it up we should be a good chance.

 

[Geoffa32]

Only time Port looks threatening is when JHF and Boak get involved.

 

[DukeX]

Looks like Curtin starting on the bench too. Bizarre

 

[Scorpus]

Nicks said he doesn't care if Aliir intercepts on the last line of defense because it means we're getting it up forward

 

[Moonwatcher]

All 3 quarters have started the same way

 

[Footypie32]

It's standing room only on the hill apparently!

 

[Southerntakeover]

We're not bothered giving up the intercept all night because it means 'we're up the ground'.

Same old coaching.

 

[DukeX]

What happened to the new holding the ball rule?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Crows forward just had to get the ball out

 

[Moonwatcher]

What happened to the new holding the ball rule?

Replaced by the new new htb rule

 

[Redleg Crow]

Umpiring is completely clueless both way
