Crows v Swans - The Matchday Thread

[Sir Vlado]

Surprised that it hasn't been started yet, thought i'd get it going. Swans are now up by 5 points or so in a rather lacklustre 1st quarter.

Hope we can lift our game.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Swans out of the blocks, but I can't see this lasting all game.

 

[ronnie1234]

Kurt Tippet kicks our 2nd goal

edit: What... did bernie vince get reported?

 

[brent-83]

White got reported for hitting Vince. Pretty weak in the end really.

This is one of the most one sided commentary I have ever heard. Crows are playing horrible, skills are well down and entry into the forward line has been abysmal.

 

[Sir Vlado]

The game is as good as gone methinks. Down by 4 goals. An absolutely PATHETIC performance so far.

 

[chickawah]

Like Moran's new 'do. Really not liking the team's performance though, getting smashed in the middle. Something has to change, and soon.

EDIT: Getting smashed all around the ground in fact.

 

[brent-83]

Gone if we continue to play like this, I think the Crows can quite easily win this and win well, we are getting to our half forward line but failing from there, similar to our forward entries against the Roos.

 

[chickawah]

What's happened to our super potent, rad forward line? Very nice mark there Bocky!

WTF! How is that holding the ball on Moran?! This is getting ugly.

 

[Sir Vlado]

Incredibly frustrating when listening to the radio coverage, we just can't do anything at the moment. I'd be disgusted if we lost this game.

 

[Sir Vlado]

*sigh* I'd pretty much write this off now. Free kicks 11-8 in favour of Sydney, i'm not surprised.

 

[chickawah]

WHAT does Kurt Tippett have to do to get a free kick in the forward 50??

 

[King Elvis]

Craigy will wake'em up at half time.

 

[Macca19]

*sigh* I'd pretty much write this off now. Free kicks 11-8 in favour of Sydney, i'm not surprised.

Yeah, tends to happen when your first to the ball at every contest.

Youll come back and win.

 

[chickawah]

Otten going off with blood streaming from the side of his head, after Barry Hall's elbow collided with his head in a marking contest. This umpiring is very very gross. As is our return to the backward movement of earlier in the season,

Very nice mark Porps.

 

[ronnie1234]

Thank god we have Porplyzia

 

[Adam BK]

Porplyzia! Finally a goal!

 

[Sir Vlado]

Good old Porpoise gets one back and his second.

 

[Sir Vlado]

So the score:

Adel: 3.4.22
Syd: 6.5.41

19 down, Craigy better give them a big talking to.

 

[Glenno23]

Didn't look at all awake in the 1st half, but full credit to the Swans. Their gameplan has worked so far

Couple of dubious decisions from the umps.... VB nudges Goodes in the side and gets pinged. A sydney player jumps all over Otten takes him out and no whistle

Crouch or Grundy THROW the ball in our forward pocket, but play on. His other arm was behind his back!

Not game changing, but enough to hurt us

We need a big lift and better forward line delivery to win this. Or if Sydney continue to flood we need Vince and Knights to start having shots from 55 and kick over the top of the ultra flood

 

[Ticktak]

Shows how much Criag has not really changed when the heat is on. Even if we do make the finals Craig will freeze and go to what he knows best which is being too scared to lose it rather than sending them out to win it!

 

[xamol]

Anyone have a link to watch it on??

Are you ****ing serious?

Do you honestly think Craig has instructed them to play like this?

Except he started the second half purely 1 on 1 and no loose man in defense....

 

[Adam BK]

Good stuff Tippet! A quick reply.

 

[ronnie1234]

Yeah! go adelaide. Well done Tippet
