Review Good/Bad v Fremantle, Round 10

[NikkiNoo]

Good: That Freo supporter Bradesman or whatever who hates us would have had a great night!

He was apparently in the Madrid airport. So such a huge fan, his team is finally playing in the town he lives in, so off to Spain they go instead...

Sitting though that weather Saturday night I may have preferred to be in Madrid to be honest!

Cats changes -

Menzel in for McKay

Jenkins put on notice, this week was an improvement, but still not good enough

Mackay out I can understand. But why Menzel as the replacement? I would think that Knight and Gallucci would both be more likely.

Good:
Although limited disposal count, some of Thor's pickups in congestion in those conditions were mouth watering. His intensity at the ball and carrier was good too. Kid has definitely got skills. Can't wait to see how he develops over the next couple of years.

When does the rising star nom come out?

He's too old to be nominated.

Talking about Milera not Greenwood.

Think he's shown just as much as those 2. Gets marked harshly

Menzel still troubled by his quad, or so I hear

Someone who has been in the AFL system for several years shown just as much as a first game player. What a fantastic wrap.

Also he hasn't shown nearly as much as Knight who has shown he can stand up even in finals.

As much of a twat as he is, there is every chance he had a trip to Spain booked well before the AFL released the fixture....

Matt Crouch 10 coaches votes. Deserved. Was very good in close and a very strong work rate. That type of game suits him with less emphasis on foot skills.

Use baby powder so the wet Lycra doesnt give you chafing.

Are you two married?

 

[Mattrox]

"However, Sloane wasn’t the best player on the ground according to coaches Don Pyke and Ross Lyon.

That honour and 10 votes went to young onballer Matt Crouch. Crouch gathered 30 disposals, six tackles, five clearances and five inside 50ms in a wet-weather football masterclass.

Crouch was one of five players to earn maximum votes in Round 10."

Average player. Nothing special.

Any replays getting around?

He seems to be kicking the ball a bit smarter. Hitting short targets. Choosing options within his ability

Actually it was brother Brad that had the 30 disposals...Matt did him over again with 35 D's

Less dinky handballs too. It's still his first instinct, sometimes you can see him change his mind and get it on the boot.

He did against Brisbane, but this weekend not so much.

Matt & Brad keep playing like that = we win the flag.

ROFLOL by Titus O'Reilly
Adelaide (143) v Washington Generals (43)

It’s hard to put into words just how inept the Dockers were in this game. Let’s just say, if you’d released a group of confused possums onto the ground, you’d have had more structure and probably a higher score.

Adelaide certainly played well, but that would be taking away from the performance of West Australia’s most embarrassing AFL side. The Dockers players were as disinterested in this game as I am towards going outside.

Even Nat Fyfe had a terrible game, with 13 clangers. He even gave away six free kicks. To be fair, it’s hard not to kick clangers when your teammates are actively working against you too.

Failing to get over 50 points is a problem for any team, but luckily Ross Lyon is a defensive mastermind and managed to restrict the Crows to just 143 points.

Milera got it I see.

Agreed. Didn't really matter in this game as much as people were struggling to hold marks so bombing in hope was not the worst option. Needs to cut it out in the dry though.
