Review Good/Bad vs West Coast rd 9 2021

[MrBarry]

Good

Fog first quarter, genuine A grade performance. Fell away, but was happy with his finish.

TT he's going to be such a handfull for the opposition for years to come.

Thought Rowe, Mcadam, Ocoonor and Jones were all really promising

Bad

We continue to pick Mackay for reasons unknown to anyone outside the club

Key defenders we need to be picking Mcasey

Ugly

That West Coast players haircut

 

[1990crow]

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

It's why we are where we are

 

[Crow_68]

Good:
Fog, Jones, Schoenberg, Rowe, Sholl, McAdam, Thilthorpe all had some good moments
Laird never stopped trying
Liked Rowe around the ball
Jones is very clean
We didn’t chuck it in

Bad:
Seedsman - not just the turnovers, but the complete lack of effort once he does cough up the ball. To those who think he is having a good season, he is not. Lazy, unaccountable one way runner.
Mackay - it’s just pointless
Frampton - just no
ROB - going backwards and fast
Selection Committee

Ugly:
Waterman’s hair
Deliberate call on Sloane

 

[Moonwatcher]

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.

TBF this is the very reason he is being played.

 

[Geoffa32]

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

Luko to replace him for 2022.....

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

Mackay only had 14 fwiw - when was the last time even got above 20?

Good
- Our competitiveness
- Jones to HB
- FOG
- Our forward line was more productive than recent weeks

Bad
- ROB, needs to be more aggressive
- Seed, needs to use his weapon
- Sloane's first half
- Our lack of polish with forward 50 entries

Ugly
- Dmac
- Dmac

Pretty good effort, some dumb footy at times. Obviously we lack quality and experience, but I don't know why we shoot ourselves in the foot. Things are already dire, we don't need to make it harder for ourselves.

Mackay turns 33 in July, I could understand if he was elite or had been at any point of his career, but his best was average and long ago. Absolute madness that he is playing, it is infuriating.

 

[dplggr47]

Good:
- Fogarty's first quarter
- Laird
- McAdam back in form
- Thilthorpe up forward
- Keays was everywhere and continued to fight
- Jimmy Rowe
- Sam Berry kicking 2 goals straight

Bad:
- ROB
- Frampton
- Frampton should be banned from kicking it inside 50 (terrible decision making combined with poor kicking)
- Keays when inside 50 and within goals
- Mackay; what does he offer??? Originally came in for Hamill's injury but has offered nothing since Hamill's return
- Crows struggling to exit their defence especially when the options are ROB v Nic Nat or Frampton
- West Coast exiting their defence with such ease
- West Coast uncontested marks

 

[DJ75]

Some great signs by our next generation. Very happy with that.
TT is going to be elite.

Frampton is terrible. Missed a gettable goal in the 1st quarter. In the 3rd he takes a mark at CHF. He has Fog 40 m on his own. Looks at him, ignores it. Kicks long to TT who has outworked his opponent. Misses him by 10 m. Ball goes out of bounds. Had TT marked and goaled it was an 11 point game.
Instead WC went the other way and kicked a goal immediately. Game over right there. Inexcusable from Frampton.

 

[MrBarry]

TBF this is the very reason he is being played.

I've got no issuies with a few senior players helping us through the rebuild.

It's just that Mackay genuinly offers us absolutely nothing at this point in time and hasn't done for about 5 years.

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.

If it is good relevant experience he is right.

The game has gone past DMac.

And they are rarely good. Boomers see his odd run through the middle and ignore the worm burners out on the fool or to a team mates feet that usually follow.

Tilthorpe put on a great shepherd to help Rowey out.

Loved that.

It's this blind pig headedness from people who are within the club that really has to be eradicated once and for all, otherwise we will never get anywhere.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Good: first quarter Fog

Bad: third quarter Fog

Ugly: ROB

 

[UcantCme]

I thought today was one of Schoenberg best games for the club to date

The game has gone past DMac.

When was the game at the same level as DMac?

Not sure why we're keeping Mackay in when Jones is now at HB and we're crying out for more height.

I think Jones put that argument to bed today

 

[MrBarry]

Not since 2010-2012, he's been on the list about 5 years too long.

 

[Mutineer]

Nah, Darling never got off the leash at least

Not so much when that "spud" Jake Kelly went to him in the 2nd half.

 

[Geoffa32]

McAdam.
His best game of the year.


Took a (stock for him) spekky.

But more impressive was his goal from a ground ball.


I know he has kicked more goals in a game, but he was more varied today.


Does need to learn to play closer to Tilthy.

Deliberately going in a tall defender short was very arrogant and got exposed as the dumbarsery it was.

Fog's first game in his actual position without Tex in his way. Promising signs for the future.

McAdam was good. Turned things around. Well done.

Seedsman had some mind numbing moments.

Led them for inside 50s for most of the game, just very poor quality.

We desperately need to invest in some smart midfielders.

Maybe playing 1 key defender short is Nicks way of tanking because there is no way he can’t see how this is hurting any chance of us winning.
