Crows v Kangaroos - Match Thread

[Southerntakeover]

Massie is playing a brilliant first game back, what a pity the goal ump got in the way and cost him a great goal.

I missed the bits were people were saying Jericho was doing good so can't comment on them, but his non attempt at disposal late in the quarter was close to one of the most pathetic attempts I have seen.

The umpires have been pretty disappointing so far. The Johncock HTB was a joke, and I thought Griffin was lucky to get the 50. Considering both ended in goals at least that levelled out.

I also thought Van Berlo was having a quiet game but was amazed to see he has 15 touches for the game. I think I need to pay a bit more attention. I only missed the first 10-15 minutes of the 2nd quarter.

ITs just the way vB plays. He gets alot of handballs and what not that the cameras dont zoom in on. This is why people sometimes underrate how good hes been this year.

He's had more kicks than handballs (don't disagree though)

I think alot of it has to do with the fact he might have been given freer rein to attack rather than tag.

 

[Allefgib]

Rooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Allefgib]

Champion, you just know he's one of the best chances in the comp to kick a goal when in range.

Crows march on.

Crows 9.4.56
Kangas 3.7.25

 

[pjcrows]

Two easy misses from Porps and Huddo... need to kick them.

 

[pjcrows]

Gee that's frustrating. Dominate for the first 5 mins, then they get one from absolutely nowhere. Rrrrgh.

 

[Allefgib]

Are we slowing down?

 

[pjcrows]

Are we slowing down?

I can feel the Roos creeping back... we're trying to be too cute again. Just get it in there and we will threaten to score.

 

[Allefgib]

Kangas have been winning it fine. Missing shots though so we need to be careful.. but NOT stop the decisive movement forward of the first half.

 

[pjcrows]

Stop Trying To Be Pinpoint!

 

[Allefgib]

Need to hold them they are building pressure nicely.

Luckily they aren't putting it on the board.

 

[pjcrows]

Next goal so so important. If the Roos get within 4 goals it will be a close finish.

 

[crowsRno1!]

another bad umpiring decision!

 

[Allefgib]

Feels like we are absorbing their burst at the moment... hopefully can pull away more in the last. The game going down to the wire like this will be tense!

(why is brayshaw calling Bock the '8dayer'?)

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

Really good game from Bock, and it's not against an undersized Bulldog backline. Now for some consistency.

i asked the same question, havent heard a response yet

 

[ShearMagic9]

Pretty scrappy quarter of footy there, we went back to our tempo footy for a while, but to have a 28 pt lead at 3/4 time against a team that has won 7 of their last 8 is a good effort

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

Jeez i'm glad Chocco didn't think it worthwhile to chase Thommo too hard at the end of 2004. In his current form, he would just about be the iceing on the cake to their midfield.

 

[dA Crow]

Excellent Mark(ish) to Bassett.....
