Review Crows vs NM: The Good, the bad and ... the stultifyingly DULL.

[CrowBloke]

GOOD:
OK, a win is a win, is a win, but MEH. We beat (easily, in the end) the crappest side in the League and should have, but jeez they made hard work of it.
Tex (keeping Nicks employed) and Fog (his don't-argue in the 4th was a thing of beauty, not to mention the goals).
Dawson, silky class.
Berry, continues to improve.
One of Rowe's better games ...?
Jones, useful when subbed in.

BAD: Both teams' abysmal skill errors.
--- handballs to opponents (both sides)
--- bomb-away kicking, blind around-the-corner, all over the ground (both teams)
--- no real flair, no fluidity, no overlap (both teams).

Rachele appears to have been Nicks-ed.
As ever, McHenry is a scrappy trier but not a goalsneak.
Hamill, unfortunate, but another head knock in a tackle he made. Can't he wear a helmet?

DULL:
The game, as a non-spectacle, was just

was good when he was subbed on.

Fogarty excellent walker excellent.

Dawson great.

Murray good. Laird good. Schoenberg better. Rowe did some nice things.

 

[CrowBloke]

Scorpus can you please add a player who-played-well poll as with previous threads of yours?
Prettyplease?

 

[pjcrows]

Fogarty superb, particularly working in tandem with Tex.

Parnell good again. Soligo's hands - chef's kiss.

North are the worst team I've ever seen. Wowee they are horrific.

 

[Danger in Texas]

We won in Hobart

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Tex Fog Laird Dawson Murray all sensational

Fogarty has officially broken out now is

Laird is a much better player with Schoenberg around him over crouch

 

[Maddogmetro]

Fog 20 disposals, 4 goals, 7 marks, and 10 score involvements. Bog for mine.

Yes, Parnell and Soligo as well; coming along nicely.

 

[Crows I Am]

Good - Fog, best game of his career. Tex did well, good to see him kick a bag. Dawson was everywhere and did as he pleased. Murray looked OK as the back up ruck. Schoenberg did some nice things and seemed to be getting back to his old self.

Overall a pretty boring game to watch, but always good to see a win.

 

[BucketsNj]

I really liked Murray’s work in ruck. He’s so mobile when the ball hits the ground.

Just "beat".....thrashed.

 

[Jirkago75]

Good is we win
Bad is our midfield is still crap

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Without Tex, Nicks would be in Noble's position.

 

[DJ75]

Yes, Parnell and Soligo as well; coming along nicely.

Both look really settled and composed. Excellent.

Loves this. Pumps it so deep too. Massive leg on him.

Fog 20 disposals, 4 goals, and 10 score involvements. Bog for mine.

The best part of the game! I'm super proud of him. He looks like he really wants his AFL career to be successful.

If he can continue todays form against Melbourne it'll be more impressive.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Schoenberg with just the 13 touches, but there were a few instances today that showed why we look more dynamic when he's at his best

Good separation, and better kicking. 9 tackles too. Persist

 

[Crom14]

The midfield mix without Crouch is so much better. Schoenberg's first instinct is to move the ball forward, and doesn't lob up backwards hospital ball handpasses. He also gained roughly the same amount of metres as Crouch did last week with about 18 less touches.

 

[CrowBloke]

Just "beat".....thrashed.

Please read my post again ... "easily, in the end" ... beat easily ... thrashed ...

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Fog 20 disposals, 4 goals, 7 marks, and 10 score involvements. Bog for mine.

And didn't give away dumb frees.

 

[ABAB]

Schoenberg with just the 13 touches, but there were a few instances today that showed why we look more dynamic when he's at his best

All must have been in the 2nd half as his 1st half was none existence.

also team high inside 50's... BOG-ARTY.

 

[ABAB]

Please read my post again ... "easily, in the end" ... beat easily ... thrashed ...

Easily is by 3-4 goals.....
