Once again a brilliant conversation from you. I thought this forum was about discussing football?

Obviously you think this forum is about throwing out incorrect bullshit and then being a little child when proven 100% wrong. What is this - conversation number 6 where you just end up deflecting?

Stop being such a sniveling little brat. If you can't stand by and discuss your stupid ramblings - then don't make them. Simple.

No, I doubt care about your trash anymore.
 
I hope a lot of you are bloody embarrassed. Especially Grotto. Some of the posts I read at the start of the game. My god!

Crows are shit. We have lost. 40 point flogging coming up! No 50! No 60! This season is over start preseason. We were never going to win we're a shit club. Useless pricks!

Next minute we win and the bandwagoners are happy again. Congrats to who ever kept a cool head.

You must admit though.. it did look extremely similar to the first 3 rounds... You know the whole - give up a big lead... claw back using all over energy over the next 2 quarters... fade like crazy in the 4th quarter.

Too hard to defend. Once again you are talking absolute bullshit... There is no other way to call what you are saying other than Bullshit.

Reilly had "plenty of shanks and errors". Thats an awesome statement if you forget about the fact that he was 3rd most efficient user of the football on the ground with a DE of over 90%.

He was the 5th highest possession getter in our side with 21. He had the equal most kicks of an Adelaide Crow in a handball happy side. He had a total of 4 clangers in the game (2 of those were free kicks against) so basically 2 of his 15 kicks didn't hit the target (and both of these were under pressure on the HFF wing and didn't hurt us).

I just cannot see why he would need defending. Here is where he ranked amongst Crows. Equal 1st in marks, 2nd most contested marks, 2nd in Rebound 50's, Equal 6th in most tackles, Equal 6th in 1%ers, Top 3 in DE%, 5th most possessions.

Alex - you and your army of Reilly haters in this thread - please tell me what he did wrong today. Why should he be dropped?
What a well put together reply....bravo:thumbsu:

Yeah it was almost exactly like those games. And even I got a little worried. But I never got near the omg the world is ending stage. It was one of those oh dear I've stumbled into the Port board moments.
 
- Josh Jenkins gets into the right positions and contests everything. Played well and kicked truly when we needed him
- Rory Sloane leads by example with whatever he does. Even his off the ball gut running is one of the best in the league. The amount of times he was able to spoil an opponent in the last 10 minutes when the Dogs were surging and to be able to force a ball up by holding the ball in, is what won us the game in the end.
- Dangerfield was again good, but the umpires need to look after him more. The amount of attention he recieved off the ball is on the Crowley mold.
- Lynch racked them up today. Played a great game as the high half forward, but he still needs a few weeks to get confidence in his arm.
- It was easily Pods best game for the club today. He is a man who knows that his spot is up for grabs with Walker returning soon and is putting everything into the next couple of weeks to cement his spot. 3 goals and a few beauty one handers was a highlight.

You're an astute follower of the game, all excellent points.
 
Once again the game day thread delivers!

Can do nothing but LOL at a lot of the flogness in here. But calling the game done 1 minute in. Wow. Just wow!

Gutsy come from behind win. The starts are clearly an issue. We started like we were still on the bus!

And Derrrrrwayne is and always will be a jockey of knobs!
 
Just finished watching the replay, all I can say is thank god we weren't playing the pies today.

Yes we came back after being behind. The dogs team today was average at best and after a good third quarter I thought we stunk for most of the rest of the game.

Nothing I saw today to get excited about and I can't see that we have improved our skills significantly either.
 
Disposals, and disposal efficiency alone could not tell you the whole story. An assessment of raw numbers would differ depending upon a player's role. Dangerfield for example always has a fairly low disposal efficiency rate. The reason is that he wins a spectacularly high amount of contested ball. The same with S. Thompson.

For other players, say, Talia, looking at the kicks and disposal efficiency will tell you very little about how he performed at all. You really want to look at whether he's blanketed his opponent or not.

It's always good to see people come on after a game and act superior by targeting comments made in the heat of passion.

Very lucky Gia!!!

Dougie looks hard done by after this!!!

Daniel Giansiracusa, Western Bulldogs, has been charged with a Level One Engaging in Rough Conduct Offence (125 demerit points, one-match sanction) for engaging in rough conduct against Patrick Dangerfield, Adelaide Crows, during the second quarter of the Round Six match between the Western Bulldogs and the Adelaide Crows, played at Etihad Stadium on Sunday April 27, 2014.
In summary, due to a six-year good record, he can accept a reprimand and 70.31 demerit points towards his future record with an early plea.
Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the Adelaide Crows Football Club, the incident was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point). This is a total of four activation points, resulting in a classification of a Level One Offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction. He has an existing six-year good record, reducing the penalty by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record. An early plea reduces the sanction by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 70.31 demerit points towards his future record.

No he doesn't. Douglas got done for high contact and high impact, given that contact was to the head and Ward was concussed. Gia got done for body contact and low impact, which is probably about right.

You mean the same "mortally" wounded Ward that fronted up the next week and was one of the Giants better players????

The same Ward that was seen walking with and talking with Sando on the oval only 2 minutes after the game???

The thing that annoys me is the fact that Danger is a tough cooky ie he jumps back up and gets on with it...
so it is assumed he is fine......now I am sure some teams will milk hits for all its worth..lets say come finals time..
How do you think some kid from GWS will handle a hit like that..

The question is - how lucky is Matt Crouch for hitting Dangerfield's head with hip rather than a Western Bulldogs player.

That could have been a 1 week suspension as he gave his head a nice wake.
