Review Good/Bad vs West Coast rd 9 2021

[morris086]

Good:
Laird - Our best midfielder is a half back flanker
Thilthorpe - Didnt get it much, but marked strongly and kicked straight
Rowe - Chooses good options and generally reeads the play well, shame he isn't quicker
Shoey - Building really well

Bad:
Seeds - Had a mare
Rob - Had a mare
Keays - Poster boy for our team at the moment. All effort, no composure.

Ugly:
Kennedy, Darling and Allen - 11.3 between them, who could've seen that coming?

Another game with high effort levels but very skills/cleanliness. We'll catch a couple of teams off guard later for a few more wins but until we bring in higher skilled players we wont be much of a threat. We also revert to reactionary footy far to easy, once the game isn't on our terms it seems all we do is chase tail

Good
Fogarty got to within Vader 's mythical 12-15d good range.

I wonder if Vader’s more impressed with DMac’s usual 18-20 disposals though.

 

[Deaneus!]

Lotsa good signs from kids

Lotsa disappointing signs from vets

Keays showing he’ll try all day but never be an A grader

Didn’t miss Lynch at all, same with Tex

All the mini-scuffles broke up pretty quick When Fog sauntered over

id go unchanged... except for a 2nd kpd

 

[marvin]

Jimmy Rowe came to play.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Rowe very good

What!!!
I thought Rowe was missing more than Fogarty

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Lots of good overall

Mackay out for a tall defender next week please

Also don't pick 4 tall forwards next week thanks

ROB is a worry. I'm sure Doc is on the case

 

[GROTTO]

How perfect it will be this week, Thursday Night Selection returns and we have a our favorite player Mackay to be the center of attention.

 

[rocket18]

Pretty good effort from all our youngsters, plenty of good signs for most of them.

Nicks has no tactical nous, hopeless.

Terrible deliberate out of bounds against Sloane, RT was about one metre away. Standard of umpiring is abysmal.

 

[GreyCrow]

Good
Fog 1st quarter got us all excited

The Bad
Fogs rest of game showed how much he has to keep working at each minute

The Ugly
Knowing people will write him off based on the middle 2 quarters without recognising the gold of the 1st

 

[MRB37]

Good
Fogarty's first quarter
Scholl, Schoenberg, Jones played well
Frampton did a good job as a stepladder for McAdam

Bad
Keays disposal by foot
Smith/Seedsman - tried to create run, constantly over used it, took wrong options, turned it over which led to easy goals
Defensive selections
ROB

Ugly
Kelly
Frampton in everything else he did, not sure why we persist with him other than he's Nicks pet.

What!!!
I thought Rowe was missing more than Fogarty

Thought it was one of his better games

 

[Danger in Texas]

Good: ROC - 8 tackles on debut!

 

[Hell Boy6669]

Rowe broke the duck of poor away games. He was very slick when he got the pill, I think we persist.

Another preseason, especially with Burgess he is going to be a good player.


He can read the play well, just needs the tank.

Yep. Showed to me he can play up the ground and get some ball when needed - big tick for a small forward, for mine

Hopefully he develops a bit more consistency, now

 

[pjcrows]

The best 4 quarters out of our last 20 (bar 1 fluke quarter vs Hawthorn). A lot to be happy with.

 

[Scorpus]

I don't see a spot for Tom Lynch in this side. He should have played his last game for us

 

[1990crow]

You'd be wrong

 

[Glenno23]

Not sure what game you were watching You may need to see a replay

22 touches and a goal for a small forward is a good game IMO. Was involved and got into some good spots

 

[CrowInFiji]

Lots to like. Let down mostly by shitty decision on field making which is to be expected from young players. Also by shitty decision making off field which is less acceptable.

Overall good signs.

Anyone knocking Fog needs to get a clue.

Some also need to get some perspective- 30 pts at OS isn't horrendous considering where we were. Seeds not shititng the bed at the end and it couldve been 18. Regardless, it was a decent result and lots of gamblers lost money today.

Doedee is getting hung out to dry being asked to play second tall.

 

[StickerMan]

Bad:
Bicks on 5aa saying you can't play all youth as excuse for David Mackay getting a game after call questioned what does he actualky offer.

FFS. Give it a go! They may just surprise.

This is the same know jockey who said Thilthorpe wasn't ready.

Intensity and effort was similar to our first few rounds (good). The bad are still plenty, but expected with such an inexperienced side. Some real positives:
- Fog started tremendously well, really set the tone for us with his physicality. This is something the stats sheet does not show in his favour.
- McAdam - great to see some nice marks and some zip up forward. He looks like he feels he belongs at AFL level.
- youngsters all showing solid efforts across the board, which is all we can ask of them.

ROB was beaten categorically, and I think he needs to have a spell. Has hardly shown much in the recent weeks.

 

[cleanhands]

Thought the bad was Nicks, started the game poorly and didn’t get any better

Bad:

This is what all the idiots say who defend his selection.

NO ONE IS SAYING DROP EVERY SENIOR PLAYER FFS.

just the ones that aren't offering anything, its really not that hard to understand.

But Bicks still knows/believes in the patented AFC Club Selection Philosophy

 

[Golumless]

All in all, that probably just scrapes in for par.

Good:

Thilthorpe gets another 2 goals and shows more signs he'll be a stud key forward long term.
Berry got the multiple goal game he's deserved all season. Did well.
Rowe was industrious all game.
Schoenberg was a couple of misses off a breakout game.
Sholl did well all up, though wasn't that damaging with the ball in hand for an outside midfielder.
I liked Hamills game, especially his first quarter.
Fog was hot and cold, but 12 disposal and 1 goal exceeded every expectation I had for him as a 2nd tall. Fingers crossed he backs it up.
Jones looked really good on the half back line. Was composed, moved the ball with purpose throughout, nearly kicked an excellent goal. Good return game.
Laird was Laird.
I didn't mind O'Connor. Didn't spend a lot of time on the field, but tackled hard and got a clearance. I would be happy to see him retained.
McAdam was back to 2020 McAdam.
Kelly did have a good game.

Average:
Keays had a fantastic game, if you ignore his disposal. That was absolutely woeful.
Sloane and Seedsman got a fair bit of the ball, but were off.

Bad:
Doedee got mauled all game.
Mackay was Mackay.
Frampton really showed why he should have had his card stamped the last time he was dropped. A really perplexing decision to bring him in, but at least he's the easy drop for Tex next week.

Ugly:
Our decision to go in with one key back. It was dumb when it was announced. It proved to be dumb. Especially when we have an overabundance of key defensive stocks. Repeat after me, Adelaide selectors: It's. Time. To. Play. Josh. Worrell.
Riley O'Brien. He needs a week in the SANFL to reset. Was horrid.
