Review Crows vs Port Adelaide - Trial Match 1 @ Mt Barker, Friday 21 Feb

[MrMeaner]

I take it that C Cornes if still the goal kicking coach

 

[MrMeaner]

There were at least two big shoves in the back by the Crows then. I see the umpiring is likely to be just as bad as ever too

Carn it's a trial match.. Not even a preseason match. We had like 40 players on the interchange.

We are bottom 8, that’s a fact.

Don't worry guys, this is the reason for our poor performances!

I said that 7 or 8 quarters ago.

 

[Powerade 08]

Moraes will jump ahead of all our other young players in the 2s, cept maybe Lorenz.

He runs hard, gets 1-2s, won a couple clean clearances. Just finds the ball very easily. Boak replacement at some point.

I don't take a lot from pre season generally

But we look bog average

It’s not as bad as the 2022 preseason when we looked like a raging dumpster fire that could only be put out with a series of Chernobyl-style suicide missions, but it’s got a vaguely familiar smell about it

 

[Portmagpies36]

He's everything we imagined

Amen brother

Did 5aa cover this game, I might catch the post game chats.
I think I'm still allowed to listen to 5AA from Victoria lol.

 

[Portmagpies36]

How far away is Visintini?
Would love to see Port try him at full back.

Is this Ken Hinkley?

 

[MrMeaner]

The forward 50 looks familiar in style, if not personnel

 

[PJ Power]

I'm just finding it all so boring. I think I'm going to genuinely struggle to watch port this year when previously I would've watched every game without fault.

Of the probables only really felt Berry and Richards played above expectation. JHF and Bergman were good but that's expected. Most others were disappointing.

Lukosius looks like an uber dud. If we finish bottom 6 (which I think is a fair chance) it might be one of the worst trades the club has done.

Rozee was pretty embarassing but what's new. Still doing his little bullshit spins and dodges backwards.

This sums up exactly how I feel in general and what I took out of today.

Better players were JHF, Bergman, DBJ, Berry, and in patches Richards.

Rozee, Wines, Drew, Boak and Mead were uncompetitive as a midfield group while Sweet looked SANFL like.

The forward line did not look like working ahead of the midfield group.

Backs were meh. They scored really easy goals because our guys were nowhere near them on the rebound/transition plays.

Sinn, Lorenz, Jones, Lukosius were the other big disappointments IMO.

We are bottom 8, that’s a fact.

It's very early but nevertheless I'm also predicting we won't make the 8. Feel like it's going to be a long season.

Didn't watch it, result was entirely predictable, they're always going to.be far more prepared given the longer preseason theyve had. Regardless though, I'm still convinced we're in for a shit year. We could well be a big slider.

 

[JimmyBC]

I've seen Barrett shank two kicks I reckon he'll fit in.

When we suck in preseason, the rest of the year seems to follow suit.

 

[Saint12]

It's just shaping up as a nothing year for you guys imo. the coach in waiting decision is such a mood killer to start the new year.

Hinkley was forward coach at Geelong during the 07 to 09 era , we've always played the opposite to those cats. Why does he never play anything like that ?

 

[RossFC]

Hinkley special last minute goal

FT: Lost 143 to 99

That first rounder we have could be worth it.

Yeah but at least the W️ is finally leaving

 

[JUSTWORK]

Not a heap to get excited about. Yea it’s a trial game, but it was mostly uncompetitive garbage.

 

[Interstater]

Is this Ken Hinkley?

Fk off.

He has more mongrel than half the players put together, has the height to match up properly, has 3 years of bulk and is not the #1 ruckman. Give me a good reason not to.
