Game Day Crows vs Demons, Rnd 17, Sunday July 6th, 2:45pm

[Crow54]

All winnable if we show up

That’s the big question.

 

[Crowbling]

If there’s ever a club that needs to sack their coach and refresh their list it’s Melbourne.

 

[Cromulant]

Third on the ladder, but what hope of beating teams in the eight when we struggle at home against a bottom team?

Who best Brisbane at home FWIW

 

[feenix67]

Thank god Melbourne kicks like feenix67

Booooooo

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

This is disgusting.

Goodbye top 4 if we can't turn this around.

Game over.

It's done.

Lose this and we won't make top 4.

Heck, finals are in danger. Luckily we still have a strong %.

Stop posting during games, it'll all work out fine.

 

[Cromulant]

Yeah i try to do the same.

Its not the easiest when your side plays like a busted arse for most of the afternoon

 

[crowker]

Listening to Max's post match interview , what a top lad, leadership qualities in spades

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

We once again went into lock down mode at the end and let the opposition have multiple inside 50's.

I’m ok with it, feels like we waited much later this time

 

[Coopers]

Maybe he was the good luck symbol that turned it around for us

They’re going ok, hopefully this is the equivalent of the Sturt Norwood game for Adelaide and kicks them into gear

 

[AmericanCrow]

Booooooo

Just getting you in the game old man!

Re: Sturt, I'm just a tad fearful that we're peaking too early.

That said, it feels different to last year where we scraped quite a number of low-scoring wins whereas we're a shit load more clinical at the moment.

Page 16 is a fun read

Always too early to go off

Not like anyone on this board to go off too early!

There is a line there, but no I’m not going there

Yep, same here. Nothing proven until finals and hopefully a GF.
The difference so far is how we react when challenged. We should’ve lost against Norwood and found a way to win. We would normally have lost to Glenelg when two goals down in the last at The Bay and won by 20.
When playing at Elizabeth massively undermanned we still won.
There’s character in that, time will tell.

 

[jenny61_99]

Murphy has almost killed himself 4 times.

I believe he should have had at least one HIA - don’t think he should play for the next two weeks.

I like it

There was at least twice I'd seen a player make good position 20 to 30m away from the kicker - in space - and was ignored for the long, down the line kick to Gawn. Stupid, idiotic play - we were lucky they couldn't make us pay - once again Worrell, Butts and Keane standing up in defence.

 

[1970crow]

Milera listed as out for a "personal reason" for anyone wondering.

Big night out on the nose beers.

 

[Cromulant]

I thought you said those days were behind you ??

 

[Trigger13]

If that’s not an ACL, I’ll eat my hat

Currently trying to find an edible hat.

Currently trying to find an edible hat.

I'd recommend one of white chocolate.

Most definitely, even if they didn't really get going in the first place. Just thought I'd throw in some humour. I think it was generally agreed that when there's a late withdrawal these days it's because the player in question has gotten on the gear, told the doctor and they've been pulled 'reasons'. Thought it would be fun to apply it to one of our guys. Not sure it hit the mark, tough audience.

I reckon if it were anyone other than the biggest church mouse in the squad you might have
