Game Day Crows v Dogs

[little graham]

Its pretty serious that a sub comes on and takes out one of the games main attractions.

 

[Cleric]

And at least Derwayne mentioned the pathetic crowd. He said 17,000 fans and around 5000 of those were Adelaide supporters.

 

[jenny61_99]

Dangerfield won't play next week.

Agreed!

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

No, we worked bloody hard to win that.

Ok - last 3 minutes they hit the post twice. We only won by 10 points. That's lucky.

 

[Ravenous Crow]

I don't want to sound like a cynic but.......

Of the last 10 stoppages of the game, we won maybe one.

2 posters from 10m out.

Handballing straight to Eddie Betts from a kickout.

We got overrun but luckily the Bulldogs were so shit that they beat themselves.

 

[AFC3000]

17,000 and always a good turnout of Crows supporters at Etihad. Same time slot as last week, not a public holiday and we are not GWS. If the AFL is ever looking to reduce the amount of Melbourne teams...

 

[Hell Boy6669]

nah. worked hard and they always trouble us.

We were lucky, those two posters at the end helped us massively.

 

[Geoffa32]

We have some problems, but feels good to beat the Dogs at the Dome.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

nah. worked hard and they always trouble us.

See above,

Hit the post twice in last 3 minutes.

They should have been goals.

 

[hey shorty]

Yes - he was awesome against the 15th ranked team.

Do it against Collingwood in 3 weeks and your statement holds some weight.

Someone had to do it mate....... LJ and Smack certainly wouldn't have so unfortunately for you my statement holds plenty.

 

[brucetiki]

Nearly had a bloody heart attack.

As someone who is both a Canterbury-Bankstown and Adelaide supporter, I'm not sure if my heart can handle another close match

 

[sbenno]

Extremely frustrating how we decide a 3 goal lead is enough, no need to push on.

Extremely frustrating.

 

[The Karma Bus]

Paddy still hunched over well after the siren, and is that a spot of blood on the top of the jumper? If so I hope it's not from his lungs...

Gave his all, 29 disposals, 7 tackles, 7 clearances, 6 inside 50's..
Got smashed as usual, kept going..

Respect to this star..

 

[CrowAboutIt]

Hate to say it but he was a liability in the last, several times he just let his opponent sprint clear from a stoppage and he would just stand there. Captains stand up when the game is on the line, that man is Rory Sloane

Was injured.. before that I was impressed with his improvement on running both ways n tackling. Massive improvement

 

[StonesThrow]

Danger spends a lot of time on the ground. I don't doubt that he is hurting, as he's tough as nails, but his game style needs to change. Does some outstanding and underrated inside work, but needs to be taught how to protect his body more.

 

[Sir Vlado]

Great we got the win, but if a team as poor as the Bulldogs can run us that close then we have massive issues and we need to fix them.
I'd give the Ds a show of tossing us next week.

Regardless of our form in past years, beating the Dogs at Etihad is a very rare feat for us and we shouldn't exactly sneeze at it.

 

[jenny61_99]

Doggies nailed the post twice in the last 2 minutes. Luck certainly had a lot to do with it.

How many points did we kick?

 

[headache1]

Lol, we worked hard, but we were definitely lucky. Not sure how anybody could disagree with that. We consistently give away easy goals via terrible decision making, and until we can remedy that, we're going to have to work hard AND be bloody lucky to win games of football against competent opposition.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

Someone had to do it mate....... LJ and Smack certainly wouldn't have so unfortunately for you my statement holds plenty.

We did recruit him to beat the 16th placed side did we?

 

[Allefgib]

And Lairdy finished the game with a 100% DE.

hes almost the first small who isnt first line mid selected for mine. love him.

 

[Geoffa32]

See above,

Hit the post twice in last 3 minutes.

They should have been goals.

Yeah but they weren't.

Take the win, be happy and enjoy the rest of the day

 

[Dewy006]

You are going to feel like a real idiot when it's revealed that he's got either bruised or broken ribs. The fact he played out the last showed he is a worthy captain.

Pull your head in.

Look I love Danger as much as the next guy, but if hes not right, he shouldn't be out there, he was defensively, like I said, a liability, watching him at stoppages he couldn't go with his direct opponent, I counted 3 times in a five minute span, his direct opponent got the clearance, as Danger couldn't go with him, injury not withstanding.

 

[sbenno]

How many points did we kick?

We kicked 13.14. Not like we kept them in it by inaccurate kicking.

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

How many points did we kick?

How many in the last 3 minutes with no one between the goal kicker and the goals?

 

[Cap]

Doggies nailed the post twice in the last 2 minutes. Luck certainly had a lot to do with it.

Our kicking was equally as poor
