Game Day Crows v Dogs

[Drakescoffeecake]

Better intensity in the last 10 minutes. Keep that up and we win. But **** .. Catch up footy yet again

 

[Hank93]

Very lucky to be only down 16. Can claw this back comfortably if they wake up.

 

[Glenno23]

We couldn't have played much worse and we're only 16 points down. We should start this term well and get back in it

But geez, i hate Etihad with the roof open and its not because we play badly, the sun seems to be angled really badly and its effecting the players

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Give him a break. You know full well that talls take a little longer to develop.

He'd be 50 by the tine he's any good.

 

[jenny61_99]

Ok.. almost won us the 2012 prelim off is own back and has done in games since.. u get way too
emotional

Understatement of the year- but he's not on his Pat Malone!

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Lin jong seems to be a good player for the dogs

 

[andrevich]

Insipid start ! when are we going to learn that we need some ****in leg speed in our side .
Wake up Crows or are you just confirming the belief of most that this team is mediocre at best .

 

[GROTTO]

There is a positive, had we kicked straight we would have been in touch.

 

[Glenno23]

Betts, Pets and Pods need to lift, as does Sloanedawg

 

[Tex200]

You talk shit, but I don't complain.

Nah you should keep yourself out of match day threads

 

[VSTone]

What if it's his fault?

haven't seen sando's mouth move once in the box...on the coverage
same as the team till late in the qtr...
talk crows....

 

[creme_fraiche]

Thank god Tom Campbell is Tom Campbell and not Tom Hawkins or he'd have 8 goals to his name.

 

[mcday]

Second half of the quarter much better. Jaensch and Mookay finally starting to get their hands on the ball. Was it just me or was Reilly the only player who wasn't appalling in that first 15 minutes? Actually hit targets and tackled

 

[arrowman]

Positive: We are only 16 points down after all of that.

This. Second quarter will tell a lot about these guys.

I mean, we shouldn't need them to tell us about their ability to recover from a crap start, but that's where we are so let's see it from them.

 

[little graham]

Played like shit, only 16 points down.

This game is exactly like our first three.

 

[Southerntakeover]

We can't handle it when the contest is hot. It's a recurring theme.

Why do we start games so badly? It's been almost every game this year. Just give up a 3-5 goal lead, then try to play catch up all game.

 

[Hell Boy6669]

Tackle, tackle, tackle and not let us get any space. We crumble when this happens.

Yep agreed, the frustrating thing is we cant match this when they get the ball, they just bust through our piss weak efforts.

 

[hey shorty]

Some of the posting here is bordering on pathetic. We knew they Dogs would come out after copping the pasting they did this week. We didnt capatilise on our chances but we are well and truely still in it.

Any chance though our captains can play well in the same game ??

 

[AFC979810]

The good thing is the huge momentum swings in footy.... How did Collingwood look at qtr time this week?

Issue is that our fitness is questionable..... Will we use all of our energy getting back into the game over the next 2 quarters only to run out of puff?

 

[GROTTO]

We will kick the first goal of this quarter.

 

[beartoo]

WTF? We do not look like an AFL standard football side based on that quarter,. Just go man on man for the rest of the game and forget about whatever gameplan we are supposed to be playing. What is wrong with our mids? Can't win a clearance and can't stop the opposition coming away with the ball.
Need to lift about 200% to win this.

 

[Cleric]

And got to say, another woeful Victorian crowd number. The AFL needs to get onto this quick as these poor crowds in Victoria is becoming a blight on our great game. Looks like rugby league crowds.

 

[themuldohyeh]

Game reminds me of the Melb v Sydney game, Sydney like us, looked very ordinary with intense pressure applied until the game opened up.

To be fair, slow movement, piss-weak tackling and poor attack on the ball didn't help our cause either...

 

[The Karma Bus]

Wright has almost a quarter of the total tackles by Adelaide..

 

[CrowAboutIt]

Are you serious, we have hardly ever win games when we are down this badly.

How long have u watched footy for? Serious question
