Game Day Crows vs Pies in Adelaide, R7 2023

[1970crow]

What absolute bullshit he was massive today...

I guess if you focus solely on hitouts won he had a great game. He was up against Frampton and we still lost clearances 46 to 25.

Harry needs a ticket and a solid month in the sanfl before he is considered for AFL footy again

Milera, no more gold passes

Murphy, back to depth player. I know the players love him but he lacks talent

Sadly he isn't an AFL best 22 player. He simply doesn't have it in him to be a midfielder. His ceiling has been reached. He offers us nothing. We need to bring back Crouch. We don't have the midfield to match it against big bodied midfielders. We have a player who can win extraordinary high contested possessions sitting in the twos. Why continue to battle to find a player to dig the ball out. Rachelle and Rankine are outside players, Laird is more of an outside player, Dawson is a mixture and Keays is an outside player. We need Crouch.

They played on Tuesday. And they overran us.

the burgess myth

 

[Redleg Crow]

Can someone tell him and Hinge to go back behind the mark. They almost get smothered every time they have a possession.

God yes!

 

[Shuestar13]

I’m weirdly not that bothered for that exact reason. It was like watching a movie for the 10th time. As soon as we went 0.3 to start you could fill in the blanks.

At least you aren’t the first team to lose to them like this… Cold comfort I know

Hopefully the group learn from it…

It's still because of the hot weather in week one

Is anyone actually surprised we stuffed that up. We all knew that was coming. Just shattered at that last 10 minutes. Will lose the next 4 no doubt. Every time I think we have turned a corner we stuff it up

 

[Tyls83]

Can we just lose to Collingwood by 8-10 goals next time instead of dicking us around for 2 hours… that’d be great.

Its what we do

 

[The Karma Bus]

So when the game gets tight, Dawson throws himself into the backlines, but do we think this is the best move. Shouldn't we have him in the middle so we can try to win the clearance?

Shows the mentality. Tells all we're under siege and trying to save this, not win it.
Ingrained for years and passed on.

 

[Drewie11]

That was ****ed

 

[crowker]

On an optimistic note , as shocking as our set shots were, we are on the right track.

This game exposed a couple of players.
Milera may have played his last , seems he has zero confidence in his body and playing accordingly.
Very strange sub and dopey decision making in the last was costly. Decision making can be corrected , team selection is another thing.

Crows must be leading the way in terms of having “lessons learnt“. Choking, mentally weak football club.

Crouch is done. Berry needs to come in.

That's it in a nutshell,
Billy *ing Frampton is their #1 ruck and we get absolutely pansed all game in the clearances. Embarrassing.
And letting the Pies have a spare out the back at stoppages was just crazy coaching

 

[dplggr47]

If not for Jones's purple patch we would have been soundly beaten.

Back to bombing it long. Did any forward take a mark inside 40m?

If they did, they didn't kick it, because we missed most of our set shots. Soligo's miss was definitely the worst. Straight in front.

Rankines miss was pretty awful

We got a lesson on how to not put a team away.

Once again we had the most scoring shots & lost.

I suspect that we are undefeated for scoring shots this year so far?

 

[twiggy4PM]

Our forward entries in the second half was woeful. Just slam it on the boot and give it away to their defenders who run it straight out again.

 

[Jarman3]

First game I've managed to get to all year. Prepare to get jinxed!

You're welcome.

But I can't take all the credit, the players did their bit, too

 

[Crow_Magnon]

ROB unlucky not to have had two free kicks in the last 2 minutes, scragged off the ball for one in particular. The last play from Rachele was unforgiveable though...had the teammate right there in Murphy and just slapped it on his boot.

 

[beartoo]

Pissed off to the Max with that horrendous showing. We must be the most frustrating team to follow in any competition in any sport on Earth.

He should have been dropped

Shouldn’t have been picked round 1. He offers exactly nothing

 

[Bramax]

Got what we deserved. Should have lost by more.

Congrats Collingwood. What a team.

Keep your head up. Poor conversion cost you a game winning lead today. Your team is well and truly on the up and the Crows are the most exciting opposition team I enjoy to watch. Be patient because success is headed your way.

Not sure how you guys keep doing it.
Must be heartache for you supporters all game, however now you know you’re just going to get it done in the end anyway though.
