Talia next to McKernan.

Lane called Walker Petrenko though.

Hentschel, McKernan
whatever

They caught us off-guard early, we basically looked asleep and the game looked like it could run away from us before we knew it. Thankfully we lifted our pressure in the second half of the quarter which caused Carlton turnovers and forced all those shots on goal.

Just a shame we can't kick.

Burton has been very dangerous, as he was last week. Definitely the focal point up forward.

Douglas and Mackay have both been very lively in the midfield. Great to see Dave breaking the lines and using his pace.

Schmidt looks very composed. Davis did some nice things. Johncock's 1 vs 3 effort was brilliant.

Once again our turnovers are really costly and allow the opposition way too much space on the counter-attack. Too many players getting free.

 

[Macca19]

Id expect the Crows to get well on top this quarter. Carlton have had their run, Crows by 20 up at half time for me.

 

[SugarShane]

How does Burton still get a spot as a forward?

 

[King Elvis]

Kelli Underwood; FML.

 

[Macca19]

and yeah, the crowd sounds strangely muted...almost like a fake crowd noise in a computer game....like theyve got two socks over all the microphones or something.

 

[Riggy1]

Before people blame Davis for that goal
Yarren was not his man!
he was trying to cover him because someone ****ed up

 

[Bockchoy67]

Ugh. We had all the momentum and we've just given it up.

This

For all his supposed hype and his "screamers" as a forward, he just misses easy shots and falls over far too often. Would much rather develop Walker out of the square than Burton as he is the future.

how can someone like you critisize a player for what he's showing, considering you never got to that level yourself

He is getting the ball
his kicking is just poor atm
will imrpove with time

let him be

People on this board will always find a whipping boy

I just feel sorry for Burton that he's unrightly being picked on now, just because people like you can't put down Douglas atm

 

[SugarShane]

2.7 to 7.2. Says it all doesn't it.

To be fair on Davis, O'Hailphin is a fair bit bigger than him, that's the only reason he lost that one. Give him time.

 

[weagles_fan]

Why is Tippett playing if he's not fit???

 

[Riggy1]

I was talking about the Yarren goal where Yarren was alone in the goal square and Davis tried to cover him

but I agree with that (about O'Halphin)

 

[bobble]

We can't kick.
We can't tackle
We are slow.

Oh, but we are very fit Which I must admit is handy given that we're constantly chasing the opposition.

Well, at least this confirms everyone's suspicions - Crows training consists entirely of handball drills and cycling.

 

[Archie87]

Again we're caught over handballing! Mckay should have kicked it forward and not dished of a handpass to Stiffy. FFS!

 

[King Elvis]

How the **** can it be deliberate when he kicks it 50 metres towards our goal?

 

[Bockchoy67]

Just because a player shanks the ball doesn't mean it's deliberate you idiot umpire.

 

[cammo6556]

This is disgraceful *prepares to do nudie run*

 

[Riggy1]

that wasn't out on the bounds
and it was a clanger while going for Porplyzia
SO how the **** did they just give a free against Walker for Delibrate?

and that free against Maric. Pathetic, he tried hard, handball was smothered and he tried to get it out.

Crap umping today

It sounds awful

 

[cammo6556]

Myke cooks our second best ruck at the moment

 

[Archie87]

No one there when we have it at half forward AGAIN.

 

[ronnie1234]

Leave Walker or Tippett in the forward line PLEASE

 

[showdownhero]

No one there when we have it at half forward AGAIN.

I have some serious questions regarding our coaching techniques to this point.
