Review Good/Bad vs North Melbourne, R4 2021

[Mr_Moogle]

Except they WEREN’T junk time this week, they were clutch - the difference between winning and losing. Big difference.

Yep. It's not junk time if the game is actually in the balance. Junk time is where you kick goals in the last quarter that have no effect over the outcome of the game. Either you're thrashing your opponent, or been thrashed.

If you apply Vader's logic, Dom Sheeds match winning goal in the GF was "junk time".

I swear it's been an issue since the dawn of time for us.

Nah in the early 90s we had big kick ons in the 3rd quarter. Only been an issue for 25 years maybe...

McAdam's first goal in the 4th quarter wasn't junk time. I'm not sure you could say the same about the others he kicked later in the quarter.

We needed to regain momentum after the umps gifted Larkey that goal. Tex shanked what could have been the sealer so it was McAdam's goal after that put the final nail in the coffin. I'd pay the last two from Schoenberg as junk time goals because we already had it in the bag.

That kind of season is starting to look more and more achievable IMO.

7 win's from 18 rounds with our gameplan is in no way out of the question.

Home Games; Freo, GWS, Melb, Coll, Lions, WCE, Hawks, Port, North
Away Games; Haw, Port (no travel), WCE, Rich, St K, Carl, Ess, Bulldogs, Demons

Don't think we will win many remaining Away games.

Reckon we may only win around another 6/18 games remaining games, leaving us on 9 wins... which would be a good result for the youngest list in the AFL.

Most important thing is we continue to get games into the younger players & we keep developing our game plan(s).

Would be quite an achievement for the worst list in the history of the Crows lol...

It was an unnecessary bump that was never going to impact the play and Laird clearly required attention from the doctors for it. There’s no need for bumps like that which are late and capable of causing serious concussion, they don’t achieve anything except injury and are hopefully a thing of the past once some of the older generation retire.

Never said it was necessary, but they would get hit harder at training by their team mates.

They 'can' cause serious harm, but this one didn't. You can't ban him just because of what it 'could have' done.

He could not concede that point on FC last night, it’s actually quite funny viewing!

Well that’s the whole argument around the bump right now. If there is intent to cause harm that is completely avoidable, then regardless of impact it deserves a week. The AFL didn’t help themselves by then letting Harbrow off, but at least he was going for the ball.

Wait, did Kane really say this? He thinks the previous years wooden spoon side needs to win 17 to 18 games to be seen as a success?

No. This is a parody twitter account.

Cheers, yeah I thought so based on the name. But i've never seen it before so wasn't sure

FTFY

Yup, a genuine quote from the team at Fake Footy.

He's done what we thought was impossible, he's got Sam McClure defending us.

The only difference between the two bumps is that the bump on Kelly caused a concussion and the one on Laird didn’t.
End of story

Why did one cause a concussion and the other didn't though?

 

[Brenton Davy]

Why did one cause a concussion and the other didn't though?

Both were after disposal, both left the ground, both were high, neither made any attempt to to bail out or tackle, both came in from an angle.

The only difference is the comparative heights of Laird and Kelly

The impact of one was at least twice as hard as the other though

The intensity was vastly different

That’s debatable. Laird still needed attention. Main difference was Laird didn’t cop head to head contact like Kelly did because he’s shorter, The intent and the intensity were very similar

 

[rePeet]

I did notice a coach getting right into his ear before the match: perhaps that motivation was needed?

Anything that can try and make him start games a bit better, ill take..... He really needs to work out a way to get more fired up for the start of the game. But other then that i think hes building very nicely

Was there high contact? Didn't look that way to me

Also, I could have sworn that a commentator called our boy Bailey Smith!

I think that was David King.

Isn't Adelaide Oval the only public space in Australia where mask wearing is mandatory now?

Airline travel aside.
