Simmo better be taking notes. Fast, attacking, open play

Like the QF last year

 

[Biggie]

**** me they're a well drilled football club

Run my business through myob online. Old man and uncle are accountants that use myob happy to run a few q's past them.

Needed it last night but its alright. cheers any way.

 

[DickDunn]

Some of this Crows ball movement has been superb. Scary.

 

[Biggie]

Great game

 

[MrKK]

I maintain that Adelaide's Joe-the-goose style is not going to win finals.

McGovern running across hodges path to ensure Jenkins could mark cleanly

Smart

 

[MaxHunt]

Straight kicking makes such a difference

With Pyke being one of our ex assistants it's going to be so hard to win against them this year.

It's not like we've ever been susceptible to giving away a bunch of Joe the Gooses before

Sorry dude. Up on Hammo. Haven't been online much

Just like how Clarkson can't win against Simpson and Beveridge?

 

[avishka5]

no worries.

Not sure about that. Finals footy is always very contested and they're very good in that respect. It's that + their quick ball movement that allows them to score like that. Plus Walker, Jenkins and Gov are all good marks so it's not as if getting it over the top is their only option.

Hawks are playing like how they did against us I would be surprised if they lost this game

 

[RookiePick]

**** dese Hawkers. Seriously good side.

I have to say Eagles/Hawks, Swans/Crows, Bullies/Hawks and this one tonight make me fear how far off it we are.

Got a chance to change that tomorrow.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Got a chance to change that tomorrow.

Agreed. But if get smashed we can't win it this year simply because the good teams in the comp are another level above.

 

[Biggie]

Pretty excited for our game tomorrow. Real opportunity to set up the season.

This. Their rapid ball movement from half-back leads to either a mark to a tall or a nullified contest with the potential for a "Joe-the-goose" goal. They do this better than any other side, with GWS and the Bulldogs movement being similar but possibly less angular. A real threat for the flag, Adelaide.

Looking at adelaide we really lack run from defence. wellingham provides that, shep some what provides it and hurn's offensive game hasn't been great since 2014. Crows have smith, seddsmen and laird rebounding from defence. is time we blood in someone like cole already?

I think 'Joe the goose' goals get a bad wrap. They are anything but soft goals. They are created by putting more running effort in then your direct opponent. We don't get many of them because our three 'small forwards' Hill, Cripps and Lecras can be a little lazy sometimes when they don't have the ball. Bennell was actually quite good at them.

Lingy really wants a gang bang with the Hawks players, doesn't he?

We turn the ball over less than the Crows and conceded less points per turnover.
