Crows v Kangaroos - Match Thread

[Allefgib]

Bock started well today and kicks his second from dead in front.

Crows up by 21 points. 5 straight is good footy.

 

[pjcrows]

How many times are they just running it out of defence after we go forward?

Both sides have loose men back, so it's easy to run it out. It's working out nicely for us if the game keeps going as it is. We're using the ball much better through the midfield. Kangaroos still winning clearances - if it turns into a one-on-one we will struggle, but our lead is good.

 

[crowsRno1!]

Does anyone know why 3MMM are calling Bock 8Dayer?

 

[Gets!]

Oh okay, yeah im listening to the radio so I just cant obviously see whats happening.

Bocky's having his best game for the year

 

[Drummond]

Great quarter, one of our best for the year.

How much better do we look when we play attacking football? We’re a class above most teams when we play this style.

Bock is having his best game for 2 months, and it helps having Ricciuto out there. Other than that one errant handball, Massie hasn’t put a foot wrong and looks very solid. He’s found a lot of the ball and his tackling has been a highlight.

Brilliant quarter by McLeod, and VB and Knights are contributing again.

I thought the Griffin fifty was fair. The mark was taken and the contact was late.

You could quibble over just how late the contact was. But Lane's assertion that it wasn't a mark was the most ridiciulous call.

I hate to say I told ya so. So I won't.

Massie

Bock - How much better does he look when he's given some space.

KMac - Someone can take a contested mark

What courage from the Griffatron

 

[Drummond]

You could quibble over just how late the contact was. But Lane's assertion that it wasn't a mark was the most ridiciulous call.

They were trying to say it wasn’t a free OR a mark? These commentators are unbelievably biased.

 

[King Elvis]

Sorry guys, I missed the start - Jericho wasn't dropped, Massie in for Goody?

That's all our changes?

 

[-VC-]

Was that Jericho laying a crunching tackle?! It was! I honestly thought it was Ricciuto at first just because of the ferocity.

Nice snap Grug!

 

[Allefgib]

Kenny gets his 2nd. Great to see us get FAST delivery to the forward line.

 

[pjcrows]

We've been saying it since Bondy left... but geez, a crumbing forward would be nice

 

[-VC-]

I was listening on the radio for most of the first quarter coz I was on my way home, but it sounds a top effort by the Crows crowd up there. Couldn't tell when it was good play by the Roos or the Crows based on the crowd.

THAT UMPIRE CAN GET ****ED!!! HOW THE **** WAS STIFFY MEANT TO GET RID OF THAT?!

 

[bus24]

Luke Jericho has been brill this quarter. Keep it up.

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

wooohoo Jericho. Mark my words this kid will play 200 games.

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

Another rule change it seems. So if you get tackled now, without prior opportunity, and you stay on your feet, its holding the ball. Rubbish umpiring.

Jeez when Kenny hits the turf, he really doesn't do his knee any favours.

 

[crowsRno1!]

great work bock

 

[-VC-]

Stay down Chamberlain! Get the emergency umpire out there.

P.S. Wireless internet is the roxorz...

 

[Allefgib]

Bock with his 3rd. Fantastic stuff!

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

This is the game Bock really needed to have.

Ray "Bulldog" Chamberlain will be looking for some payback in the fsecond half. This could turn into a bloodbath.

Actually I believe the official rule change is that if you get tackled, in any situation, no matter if there's prior opportunity, if it's too high, if you don't have the ball, none of that matters. ANY tackle will be rewarded with a holding the ball decision.

They gave us an even upper immediately after and then we got pinged with another joke decision. Three terrible calls. Two to them, one to us.

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

I missed the Hudson stat. Whay did they say, something about hardball gets????

 

[Drummond]

wooohoo Jericho. Mark my words this kid will play 200 games.

He's been good, haven't noticed any slack efforts.

But 200 games? Seriously.

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

Now thats more like the Jericho we know and love, spectator in the last 2 contests.
