Game Day Crows v Freo

[Sam_Malone]

Who was the main commentators for today's game?

Mark Ricciuto and Brad Johnson doing special comments but who is the main commentator?

 

[Brentmeister]

Laird going off sent our defence into chaos at the end. Anyone have an update on his injury?

Laird came off? Missed that

Some new guy called Papley or something

Thanks.

I've never heard of him before.

Adam Papalia. Think he's WA-based.

 

[Glenno23]

You know some parent is going to tell you score.

Got away with it and went in blind

Solid ugly win. The kind you need

 

[GreyCrow]

Err, what agenda? No need to get personal either with pot shots such as "fool". I'm merely stating my opinion. I like Cheney and 90% of what he does but the past two weeks he has shown a lack of desperation at certain stages. It was clear as day that Mayne was going to soccer that through in the square. He should have dived across to at least try and get it. Last week vs. Puopolo he should have jumped forward too but tried a very soft bump on him instead which he brushed off.

Which goal was this? I would like some clarification before I respond.

 

[GROTTO]

Bicks points out we won every quarter

Not too bad

Against that s**t team in the way it plays the game, that's a solid result.

Should have knocked it through in the first contest.

 

[OldCrowBloke]

Think all Brad Crouch needs to do is have a great game and then he comes in. And I think Lyons goes out

I think we should be looking at Dougie before Lyons...

 

[Sam_Malone]

Agree with this.

If you have watched a few of Freo's games this year even though they are 0-6 many of there games including against North and WCE played out similar to today's script

Yes I know that's why I thought today's result was solid.

Dougie was fine today. Very good at times.

 

[fairfooty]

Exactly. We've still got a ways to go. Not looking for another 2012 anomaly, let's get a proper window open and add another 2 flags.

Only 2? At least 4 consecutive flags! Nothing less!!

 

[OldCrowBloke]

Dougie was fine today. Very good at times.

Does some good things, but not having a great impact.
Fewer disposals than Lyons.
Only 14th ranked player for us today on AF points.

Has has the "cooler" job a couple of times this year

I also suggested Douglas come under greater scrutiny last week ......got howled down, but i don't think he's an automatic pick and Lyons/M.Crouch are not?

IMO ATS all 3 are on the same line ......Lyons seems to be gaining confidence, Matt is not hurting enough with his disposals, and Dougie is flashing in & out of games

 

[Stiffy_18]

This was always a danger game for us. Happy to get the 4 points and move on because that was one s**t game to watch.

 

[AmericanCrow]

I'm conflicted. As one of the "we're gonna smash them" mob the margin disappoints. My good and bad won't be good reading.

Happy we banked 4 points but somehow it looked live as if we struggled

And maybe that's perspective

It is--there was always going to be some letdown from last week, Freo's style and pride wanting to avoid 0-6 start, and you just have games like this.

Take the W, forget about this game and get geared up for a big one next week.

 

[AmericanCrow]

I no longer buy the foot argument on Tex. I think there is something going on with his back--guy barely bent over for some ground balls.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

How does that AF thing work? It had Jenkins as our best player. He had two goals from a 50m and a pathetic free. Did little else and fumbled every time he went near it.

Good observation

 

[GreyCrow]

Funny thing was I said the same about JJ last year. There were games he couldn't bend over
