Game Day Crows v Bulldogs in sunny ballarat

[Gtowncrow]

Heading to the game short drive from Geelong. Reckon it's going to be fresh.
Gtowncrow you going?

Negative. Had to work until about 2pm. Phone off.
Just finished watching on delay on kayo. Awesome result. Must have been a good one to see live!!

Vader again showing he's not a great judge of footballers....considering how little Frampton has played down back he's developing well learning on the job.

Not being a good judge is fairly harsh, and he’s had a lot of good calls.

I have a lot of respect for Vader, but he did depart from the sound statistical analysis that we’re used to from him.

Football isn’t all about stats, and of course performance is all about the visual as well, but Frampton is doing a lot right at the moment and is developing well.

My gut feeling is that he won’t actually blossom into a true lock-down KPF is the same mould as Butts, so I think we have to take some moment where his 1-1 work won’t be as good, or defensive work on the lead.

But his read of the ball, his attacking presence, intercepting and metres gained are all elite for his position so far this season.

Loved the umpiring today - 24 frees v 10 and if you ignore out on the full frees it was 22 - 5!

Out in the full doesn’t go into the count. Don’t think.

Murphy and McHenry good today, They were like pig dogs at the contents. Neither highly skilled but both full of heart

Four games under a goal in 6. That's obscene. Right?

Not bloody good for my heart I can tell you that much!

Scrappy games are where they are at their best. Lots of in and under and high pressure disposals.

Truly fabulous win today. So proud of the lads! And Tex… Phil Walsh named him our Captain, and he still embodies every reason why he did so. He will always be my captain until the day he retires.

I think you misread what I was saying, or I didn’t express it very well.

I think he’s going to be a ripper KPD, but I think he’ll have different weapons to your average KPD.

Been good for a month, Very good today

Not bad for a guy quite new to the role

 

[cleanhands]

Frampton was excellent today. No argument, or criticism, from me regarding his performance today.

Let's see if he can back it up though.

Sounds a bit like Himmelberg last week , how did that go this week

Great work by coaching staff in showing faith and trying him in defence, So far hasn't let them down, Hopefully for the team and his career he continues the good work. Looks very Capable.

 

[Ticktak]

I’m so glad others saw what I saw in regards to the umpiring. Because I very rarely complain but today’s game was just dreadful.

I wasn’t sure if it was because I wanted us to win so bad that I thought the umpiring was terrible. So it’s good to see I’m not alone.

And it wasn’t only the frees they got. For me it was the 15+ frees we didn’t get. It was unbelievable!!

 

[maxlilly]

Thanks Skip

Your dead right, Not only the frees they got it was the frees we never got, And then the 50 metre penalty not paid to us that would have been a certain goal. It was deplorable. Without the shonky umpiring and our own bad finishing in front of goal we should have won by plenty. Very impressive win

The goal they kicked to go ahead was definitely HTB against them too.

I’m usually of the opinion that what comes around goes around and try not to talk too much about it. However it seems to come around an awful lot more than it goes around for the Dogs. Fourth time this year they’ve had a FK differential of +10 or more in their favour.

 

[D Style]

I'm thinking Frampton is definitely in front of Murray in that position atm - and McAsey - well sell for something at the end of this year.

Yep sure was, Dogs player tackled incorrect disposal that results in goal, Doesn't even get a mention with commentators. That's what makes the win even better.

I've gone from "me love" to "Not happy, Jan", AmericanCrow .

Too many unguarded Dogs getting hit lace out. Defenders did well first 10-15 minutes, but gotta tighten up now.

Texan picked you up mate.
