Game Day It's here! Rnd 2 Coll vs Adel

[Kane McGoodwin]

Smithy is standing & with the boys, so nothing too serious.

Been shocking year for head injuries.

 

[Sir Vlado]

Regardless of the last quarter I'm not going to be particularly critical. Still exceeded expectations and passed the test of 'winning 2 games in a row and not being shit.'

 

[Wright Away]

Were you the bloke who reckoned final term fade outs are no biggie? Because now its for points and we just surrendered a bunch of %.

Oh like last week. Oh wait...

 

[Justinpa1]

Bad last Quarter, Walshy will rip em to shreds, we should have won that one by 10-12 goals.

The key thing about today was our pressure and tackling for 3 quarters. When Smith went down so badly and swallowed his mouth guard that would be hard for some of the boys to see, and the 6 minute break then took the steam out of the game.

Welldone Boys a good win, lets bring on Melbourne next week at home

 

[StonesThrow]

Hopefully nothing serious for Smith. Long term I mean. Looked horrible after the clash.

 

[LiquidCrow]

I'll take the 4 points any day of the week. Final scoreline flatters Collingwood, and although we dropped off in the fourth quarter it's not surprising that there will be a drop in intensity and a bit of self preservation once a player gets a serious injury.

Smith apparently doing ok

 

[Roo Lives Again]

69% disposal efficiency....not good

 

[Wright Away]

Boys need a fairly light week on the track i think.

 

[Archie87]

I'll take the win but it was very unconvincing. I was extremely disappointed with the whole last half, not just the last quarter. Walshy gave them a bake at three quarter time too so I'm confident he won't be happy with that performance either. To dominate so much of that game and only win by 30-odd points is very poor.

We're in a new era now. Last year, Sando would have been full of praise and encouragement for that effort. Walshy is a whole new kettle of fish. He won't tolerate that and nor should he.

Brodie is okay

how do you know please?

 

[AFC3000]

A win a way against Collingwood, 4 points, with some problems exposed and something to to work on, probably not the worst result at this point in our development.

Different style of game than last week but I'll take it.

 

[Glenno23]

how do you know please?

He was up singing the song with the boys

good sign at least

 

[IQ3]

Great to see Brodie walking around. Good win too by you guys, congrats

 

[Vooligan]

Brilliant news with Brodie up on two legs. This could've been much, much worse.

Let's look at the positives, we beat Collingwood, a team we traditionally struggle with, we're 2-0, Smithers doesn't seem as bad as first thought, we're around the top of the ladder, we have a fit and firing Thompson to come in next week, and a massive game at the Croval next Saturday. The signs are bloody brilliant! GO YOU CROWS!!!! #weflyasone

 

[ManInTheArena]

They have been rubbish , but that was our best quarter , not saying we have wen been bad, just saying we have more in us , wouldn't surprise if we won by 100 still

The team getting thumped is always rubbish and the team pumping them is always gunning it. It's just semantics depending on how you want to swing it.

 

[Bosley]

how do you know please?

He's a Walshy endorsed Crow.

 

[Mike Smyth]

"football is a game of halves".

 

[Sir Vlado]

You just celebrate the win, let Walsh do the angry/critical stuff.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

how do you know please?

Because he was standing up and even sang the song. Probably just concussion. Might miss next week but overall it's not serious.

 

[fairfooty]

He was up singing the song with the boys

good sign at least

Yes it is - phew - thanks for that.

 

[mulz]

great win! couldn't be more happier with that especially as I had us 1-39, we are still a work in progress and its gonna be hard to keep up this pressure but we are up and about,

 

[mattymac]

Oh like last week. Oh wait...

Thanks for adding nothing and making no sense. Pleasure communicating with you. Out.

 

[fairfooty]

He's a Walshy endorsed Crow.

Bosley if you had ever worked in brain and spinal cord injury you wouldn't be taking it so lightly.

 

[PyroCrow]

From a medical standpoint the fact that they were allowing Brodie to drink in the rooms is a good sign. Certain tests require that he not drink or eat so the medical staff must be pretty confident that it isn't anything too serious.

 

[pjcrows]

Yeah but I'd like to think a consistently winning game plan is more important than one that usually pumps shit sides but loses more often than not.
