Opinion Non-Crows AFL 10

I saw this on Facebook. Would the Crows ever tell any of their senior players something similar.

His solitary handball would receive a dedicated puff piece about how it was a key contributor to our shape.

Marlon Pickett- the experiment was over 12 months ago. What a shitful human. Giving the bird to Geelong supporters as he gets subbed with "cramp". Time for this criminal to hang up his boots, what an embarrassment.

lol selwood gets his ex teammates name wrong

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Good start Dockers

 

[Scorpus]

Melbourne have been ****ing terrible

Petty 1 disposal at half time....

If we waste a top ~6 pick on him at the end of the year we all need to march down King William street to AO with pitchforks and burning effigies.

This must infuriate Freo fans. They have a heap of talent and look so dangerous when they move it yet Longmuir has long played a slow, defensive and dour game plan.

They should be in the top 4, and would've beaten Carlton and Port if they had a better game style.

McAdam playing?

Five disposals.

The ghost of Gerard Neesham lingers.

It seems a waste with Melbourne that a team with elite players like Petracca, Oliver and Gawn plus a host of good role players are only going to win one flag. I'd take one flag over none but I think they were primed for more than that.

I can see them slipping down like Richmond in the next few years.

Honestly with how bad Petty has been this year Melbourne should be offering us a draft pick just to take him off their hands.

The way they played that year and during the GF you thought they’d dominate for years

I wonder if the Lisfranc injury is more of a hindrance than expected. He's been woeful pretty much all season, and Jones (who had the same injury, near enough on the same day) hasn't been great this season either.

Safe to say the Melbourne board are over Goodwin. What a complete waste the last two seasons have been and their form this year has been mediocre to below par with today being the low point.

Will be an interesting watch for the remainder of the year. If they collapse from here and miss finals, he should be in trouble.

And on another note, they aren’t happy with McAdam either!

So you're saying when Melbourne sack Goodwin and we sack Nicks, Riccutio will herald our savour, mate and former team mate Simon Goodwin as the new coach for the Crows?
Scary thing is I can just imagine from a PR point of view a good portion of the fans would love it and it could therefore easily happen.

He may have run his race at Melbourne… but not to say he can’t coach.

The rumoured off-field business is the red flag of course plus his adherence to discipline, defence etc. But with a better forward line and more capable attacking players, he may well be different.

A premiership winning coach with three consecutive top four finishes… compared to what you have now, it’s a no brainer

My main issue with Goodwin is that he is too much of a Neil Craig acolyte and that he would put too much emphasis on defence and make us extremely dour.

He's one of those players where the gap between his best and worst footy is as wide as the Grand Canyon.

Absolutely, he does have an emphasis on defence. I was more thinking that with a better forward line (Thilthorpe, Fog, Rachele, Rankine, Welsh? to start with) he may broaden his attacking horizons so to speak

One thing, you will be a well drilled, disciplined team in comparison to what is there now.

Not the worst option and if the aim is getting an experienced coach…

Did not see the Freo demolition of Melbourne coming
My tipping has sucked this week

Yeah true mate - anyone would be better than the blow fly Pepsi spilling dud we have now...

I hope GC knock off the dopers.

I think the Suns win this one. At home against a team that has been drinking the bathwater for the past month.

Yeah… I had hoped he was turning the corner last year, but this season has been not good enough. Ceiling has been reached in terms of how far he can go, out of his depth and out of ideas
