Opinion Non-Crows AFL 11: Succession plans and other lols

[cleanhands]

I was so looking forward to Sicily giving it to Kern

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

BT reckons this is delicately poised. Honestly someone fire him into the sun

 

[Firewalker]

So after all that effort over the first month and the Crows are going to be only one win ahead of a bog average Port after 5 games…

 

[MrBarry]

We are as good as any team this year imo.

Anyone in the top 12 could win the flag (besides port at st kilda)

We lost by a point to gold coast away last week, a team many on here are announcing as a flag favourite.....

 

[pjcrows]

We lost to the 2nd side by a point away.

We have lost to good sides in close games a lot over the last few years. Doesn't mean we're contending for the flag.

No but we aren't 'miles off it's like loads are announcing on here. Bit of perspective needed.

 

[Cromulant]

We are better than Hawthorn and Gold Coast.

No we aren't

 

[azza77]

I know that Sam Draper isn't the most popular guy with our fan base, but surely he'd offer much more compared to Rob.

Sam's response wasn't convincing when asked about whether he would re-sign with the Bombers.

As much as I think he's a massive flog, I cannot physically bear to watch ROB oaf around in a crows kit one more time... Get the bloke off my flipping TV screen. Joke that he's lasted as long as he has and our arrogant club/list management refuses to entertain bringing alternative options onto our list.

Draper
Henry Smith
Ramsden from Hawks

Should all be top of the shopping list come end of this year.

Its been proven time and time again over the last 10 years especially that you dont need fantastic ruckman to win a flag, but ROB is a genuine liability.

I don't think we are miles away, but we aren't contending

Draper ain't going anywhere

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

For such a young hoks team, Gunston has been their best.

 

[pjcrows]

Well we're not Top 4, and we will likely only be in the fight for 8th. We can't win close games, or games with high pressure, and our coach sucks.

We are more likely to finish 10th than win the flag. So yeah, we relatively are miles off.

 

[MrBarry]

Why were port allowed to play never tear us apart?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I wish Dixon was still there

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Hawks getting into fights but not getting any of the ball. Pretty lame.

Our best is good enough to beat anyone, but the fact we often dish up some very bad in between that is cause for concern

And the bloke at the wheel

 

[Adecagodelphalaide]

Hawks getting into fights but not getting any of the ball. Pretty lame.

They're at least showing some fight now, both literally and on the scoreboard. Better than whatever we were watching in the first half.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Again port keeping a potentially concussed player on the field

 

[Cromulant]

They're at least showing some fight now, both literally and on the scoreboard. Better than whatever we were watching in the first half.

Getting in fights when you're being destroyed is pointless.

Kayo call is great.

 

[footy4ever]

For such a young hoks team, Gunston has been their best.

Has given it up a few times but his other touches have been gold.

 

[Geoffa32]

How does any game have a quarter where the frees are 9-0 in favour of a team down by over 50 points?

 

[footy4ever]

Port have resurrected their season. Hawks have been outstanding until now.

Very impressive win.

 

[Drummond]

I’m sorry but Chol goes missing in big games, how can Hawks overcome their clearly underpowered forward line to be a legit premiership threat?

He goes missing in a lot of games, not just big ones
