Game Day North v Crows GD Thread

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I said this last week. We have an innate ability to turn off midway through quarters.

It's just sad.

 

[Elite Master]

Our pressure, our decision making and out skills dropped right off, not much damage was done on the scoreboard, we are without Harvey, Wells and Hansen and overall losing this game won't be the end of the world with our finals spot pretty much sown up, yet I was so so frustrated with that 2nd quarter.

 

[Tas]

Greenwood was providing most of the drive for us early, Scott moves him to do a ****ing negative role on Danger, he shuts down Danger but nobody else steps up winning the ball.

Scott keeps using Greenwood in shit roles.

Really happy with Turner, I mean really happy, we've picked up a youngster that will play a lot of senior footy for nothing.

Unfortunately we've no pace in the middle, we all know this is a problem of course no Wells and Boomer isn't helping.

Am pretty happy so far TBH. Nothing but a training run for us.

How can you be happy with the last half of that quarter? The ball didn't make it into our forward half!

need a lot more from lindsay, Brown and Black

We lose control of games so easily. This is a leadership issue. We bring NDS into the leadership group, Crows coming at us then he puts in a pathetic, soft effort in the clinches that costs a goal. Shit like that spreads. Got a half of
footy to clean this mess up.

NDS is highly skilled but doesn't put his body on the line enough for my liking.

 

[CBSlogger]

Brown got a body work lesson that qtr. Black, wtf is wrong with him? So, so ordinary ATM.

Hand balling from all and sundry was dreadful that qtr and out spread fell away as per standard 2nd qtr practice.

His skills are good but a bit overrated IMO particularly with shots on goal.

 

[Shinboner '07]

Yeh that's why we need Waite.. Brown and black been crap

 

[Hazey1977]

Let's have a positive... Is it just me impressed by how good Brown is looking below his knees and working the 1% team stuff?

 

[Kimbo]

Missing Boomer creating the outlet. Not all the blame on the kickers; no one is running to (create) space.

 

[Lavy_Panther]

Seriously though, when was the last time Aaron Black played a good game? I like the kid, but he's been given a free ride all year. Feel like we've been seduced by a good year last season in a forward friendly structure.

 

[muttley45]

Petrie is being held by Talia at every contest, but not one free, at least he had a bitch to the umps,

 

[Kanga1996]

NDS style should suit when Wells and Harvey are playing but right now he needs to win his own ball.

 

[Elite Master]

Yep another old player whose inconsistent and injury prone will solve all our issues.

Because I don't care about this match, I'll focus on the positives.

I'm not sure what game you're watching, if the rest of the team was putting in like Lindsay we wouldn't be behind. He's been one of our better players.

NDS is highly skilled but doesn't put his body on the line enough for my liking.

You wouldn't think so with some of his disposals today - very poor, needs to really lift in the second half.

Enough? At all is more like it.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Yes, It's our forwards that are the problem when we had ZERO i50s.

Another half like that and even Scott would consider dropping him.

 

[Jimmy's Hot Dogs]

Need a lift from about 21 players. I'll give a Patch a free ride.

 

[Tas]

He needs to get off his arse and lead a lot more. it is a lot harder to hold someone who isn't just standing in the goal square.

 

[kangaspurs]

Second half of that quarter was rubbish. I wish we could hit a target coming out of the back half, Dal and basti were particularly poor on occasions in that respect.

For all Turners defensive effort and energy by god has he torched the ball for the most part today and made some poor kicking decisions. If that was another player *cough* Sam Gibson *cough* thered be certain posters calling for him to be hung, drawn and quartered, and yes I know it's his second game. That being said though, it's clear theres a player there, and he could be a vital part of the team in a few years, and kilos, time.

Reckon we've had about 500 inside 50's for the season tbh.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Wells comes in for spastinac next week. Easy change
