Gameday Thread- Showdown- Crows Vs Power

[SebastianVettel]

It's more than just crap goalkicking, the lack of intensity is just disgraceful. Too many big time Charlie's cruising around doing **** all, and believing their own hype.

 

[Crowman32]

Terrible first half.

Cant believe Walkers kicking at the moment. He is a brilliant kick in the SANFL and yet in the AFL he gets the yips. Needs to kick through the ball instead of stabbing at it.

Reilly and Douglas need to lift.

Are we ever going to have a player play on Pearce in a showdown

Armstrong nowhere near up for the intensity of this game. Doesn't react quick enough.

Stevens - horrible.

why is Porplycia playing in defence?

Excellent support Just settle down a bit. They're working hard, just not finishing the kicks. Start well in the 3rd and we'll get back in to it.

 

[SebastianVettel]

They're working hard.

Yeah? Doesn't look that way to me.

Granted it improved slightly in the second quarter, but Port are much more desperate, and much more comitted to the contest. That's blatantly obvious.

Who is the team that can still make finals again? Because there's one team out there at the moment that wants it more than the other.

 

[noddy]

Kick straight in the second half and we'll get up. Doesn't matter how flashy it is or by how much.

It's not the goal kicking that i'm most worried about it's the mind set of the team as a whole, they have come out very similar to how they came out in the first game against Port in the pre-season, playing like a bunch of millionaires, if Craigy can't change it around then another beating from PA is on the cards.

 

[Godallblighty]

How's Bock going? I notice he has had 8 HB to 3 K which sounds a bit like his early season form...

 

[Go You Crows]

We're back to carrying players who aren't ready or out of position eg Porps.

 

[bobble]

Bench Walker. Too big for his own boots after last week. Happy to be proven wrong with a 5 goal 2nd half, but it is completely inexcusable he misses such shots.

No desire to win at all.
Make Dangerfield captain now. If any of those sissies get the nod ahead of him...
Sloane, McKay, Danger = excellent.
Bock appears much, much slower than I remember, hopefully this is only temporary.
Handballs to teammates under pressure

Hopeless.

 

[Crowman32]

Why was Dangerfield taken off the ground as soon as he kicked a goal. These rotations are a joke. Danger looked like he was going to rip the game apart and then he goes to the bench.

Because he was blowing like my Dad's Ryobi?

He also looked like he could barely breathe, I imagine that's why...

Having a shocker & has let Westhoff kick two on him.

 

[Crowman32]

From one passage of play? His fitness must be fantastic then.

 

[RoosterLad]

Our kicking for goal has been embarrassing so far. Agree about the lack of intensity, Port players are willing to flatten each other to get the ball. We need a big lift this quarter.

 

[PCORF]

This is getting embarrasing. We beat Geelong and we put ourselves under so much pressure against a cr@p side. Why are players so damn bad at having shots at goal these days. Why, cos its all about pressure. Move the shots further out from goal on 45 degree angles or more.

And I am very aware of our poor recent showdown record in away games.

 

[Alex99]

Scott stevens ~ no comment.

 

[Rave Slave]

Just heard that as it stands the current leader of the showdown medal is Scott Stevens for Port Adelaide.

 

[PCORF]

Not surprised. Our record against lower ranked sides isn't good this year.

 

[cammo6556]

I swear I've seen Stevens outmarked by ebert three times.

 

[cammo6556]

Can Stevens please retire mid match?

 

[Saethiaal]

nice dive by the HOFF, what a hero.. he managed to take the shot, an inspiration to us all that even IF you dive, you're still able to get up and tough through the pain and kick a gift of a goal.

 

[adelaide_girl]

I have no words....

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

where is the leadership

can the next Captain please stand up

 

[Yorkes_87]

anyone who has talked finals in the last week needs to shut the **** up right now. this is a disgraceful performance.

Arrogant cocky w***ers like them (including the mediaa) is probably what screwed us up. People never learn.

 

[Sir Vlado]

Not surprised. Our record against lower ranked sides isn't good this year.

?

Beat WCE, Essendon, Brisbane, Melbourne (once out of twice), Richmond etc.

Just not Port.
