Review Good/Bad vs Hawthorn - Rd 19

[Houston]

Bad: We have the worst performing captain in the league.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

This is a big call, but I honestly feel like he has a legitimate case to win the entire award

He’s flying too much under the radar I reckon.

But I wouldn’t swap him for any of the other players eligible.

 

[King Elvis]

Stuff the draft, stuff the spoon

Bleh.

Should’ve thrown it.

Hmm a wins a win but Hawthorn are very average

They drew with Melbourne last week, and beat the Giants 3 weeks ago, get off the glass pipe.

They’ve been bog average for most of the year, but have certainly been competitive the last month.

This wasn’t a win where the other team ‘weren’t any good’, because Hawks are certainly good around the contest, and that’s where we wanted to have improved from last week, which we did. It was a good solid win, good game plan, lots of movement, very good output from players we’re wanting to see develop.

It's odd. All week leading into this, I wanted us to lose to get Horne but, when the game starts, I can't help but want to win. Even with Horne out of the picture now, Roberts is still a great prospect. The only major difference is one is South Australian.

???
They're both from here, same team even (South)

 

[Carmo]

Disgusting how he's being treated with Plodder Sloane in the midfield.

I'm very happy with how we're bringing shoenberg into the middle. I imagine they'll do the same with Berry next year.

If you put them in to early before they get comfortable with the speed of the game you'll end up breeding the skittish midfield players that we've had forever.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Never relised Horne was a guaranteed 15 year player with multiple brownlow medals. Seriously, some posters need to piss off to the Carlton board if they love tanking so much.

It's not that he's good, it's that he's less likely to fly the coop.

Wallpapering over cracks with some players

 

[Damp Squarie]

Good
4 quarter effort
Accuracy
The new crop all played well, even McPherson

Bad
Missed tackles
Butts

Ugly
Missed frees
Unexplainable frees
Mookay who managed to s**t the bed in such a short time

 

[1970crow]

Does feel good to win.


Get rid of that slow over possession crap we have seen the last month.

Next four games have to be about taking on the opposition. Even push the next three top four sides.

Any chance you'll revise your view that we, or any club, deliberately loses? Or will you ratchet that up as soon as we lose again?

 

[pjcrows]

Bickley post game. "The next few weeks might be a real chance to rest some of the kids against the better sides to freshen them up for the last couple".

Explain that logic.

 

[jo172]

Himmelberg presents a fascinating conundrum. He really looks a solid footballer when he's confident

He's not a shade in Thilthorpe and there's no obvious way to play both of them.

 

[Crows 2024 Premiers]

Good win, more complete game from a bunch of players
- Ned hitting up short passes was a delight compared to hitting our long I50 bombs to no one.
- Chayce is our most reliable kick out of D50.
- Straight kicking for goal
- Scoring 100 for the first time in ages
- Mids hitting the scoreboard (Keays and Laird kicking goals)

Takes some pressure away from the club which is good.

Worst part of the game was our lack of tackling ability. Those missed tackles were shocking and opens up the game for the opponent.

But genuine question, why does anyone here wants Roberts with Pick 3-4? He's a slow inside mid? Basically Matt Crouch

but seems slower and a bigger build. That would be a disaster with pick 3/4.

 

[Bovo]

It was interesting playing a side who was happy to play an open running game. I’ve not seen us have so much run in a very long time! I don’t mind Billy in the backline. Our forward line looks so much better when we kick it in with purpose as opposed to just bombing it in! winning does taste nice though!

Explain that logic.

That sentence barely even makes sense

Wouldn't expect anything less from Bickley's insight though

Trade bait

Trade him for whatever we can get.

Bicks is the vanilla AFC hero.

He'd like nothing more than Mackay to get to 300.....

Schoenberg = jet

 

[Idontpullout]

It's not that he's good, it's that he's less likely to fly the coop.

I'd take a flight risk over instilling a culture of losing and tanking

 

[Scorpus]

I am over the moon that Jordon Butts will make it at AFL level.

We selected this guy after we re-rookied Paul Hunter in the 3rd round of the rookie draft. Great story

Need Lynch gone at year's end and Tex to play 50% next year.

Have Fog, Berg, TT and Tex shuffling through in 2022.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Bad:

Playing Berry out of form. Can't tell me that we lose much by putting him in the centre square a few times and Sloane on HF.

Explanation: I want Mackay back in pronto

Schoenberg = jet

If he's not in the centre, first bounce, Round 1 next year I'll go spare.
