The crows getting a spanking from Geelong early. 74 possessions to 28 early.

I keep wondering if this is the crows B side playing but they aren't getting enough of the ball for me to know. It certainly appears they are pretty much full strength.

Jenkins is such a spud

3 from Mitch Clark so far.

How was the hanger at HBF?

 

[Andy_B]

fox footy said before the game that it was almost a full strength side for the crows. not sure about the cats

 

[scottjr]

92 to 38 possessions Cats way.

He's playing with great confidence. It's good to see.

I'm slightly surprised at how much Geelong are dominating. Wouldn't have expected that, but it's early and it'll probably even out. If Geelong weren't stuffing around with it so much and burning so much of it under zero pressure they'd be a mile in front.

That Cockatoo looks pretty good.

Crows could of had that lad if they didn't trade down picks.... is that right?

 

[tribey]

Melbourne fans be like

 

[Traveling_Power]

the cows have a player that kicks worse than Butcher (in previous years)

 

[chachi11]

I remember hearing around draft time that Cockatoo is a Port supporter and was hoping to be selected by us?
Or was that a dream?..

Cockatoo wanted to come to Us

Cockatoo wanted to come to Us

is he a port supporter?

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Cockatoo wanted to come to Us

Well what talented young kid in his right mind wouldn't

He was picked at 10 - the pick the crows swapped with Geelong.

Just flicked on to Fanfooty to follow the NAB scores and saw a traffic cone next to Kyle Hartigan's name. We'll be seeing plenty of that this year. Spud of the highest order.

he was also the laziest player i have ever seen and had the worst body language of anyone i have ever seen

Nah. Bad body language, definitely. Selfish, definitely. But he wasn't lazy.

Shit hot though. In hindsight, Carlton should've paid the man. Would be just about their best player.

He wouldn't be playing like that if he was still at Carlton.

Adelaide is the perfect club for him (or at least was under Sanderson). He's undoubtedly very talented, but he thrives on getting a bit of attention on himself. Not that there's anything wrong with that, Wingard is the same.

My God Cam Guthrie is one ugly dude.

 

[PatientMental]

That Rutten bloke would have been handy against Hawkins for the Crows.

 

[BornPort]

Lynch ducking again.

 

[PatientMental]

Oh man. I thought our kicking for goal was shocking v WCE.

 

[Andy_B]

this game is just.... awful, even for fugazi football

Yep the kid has some serious talent & one to watch for potential go home factor when the time is right, can't believe the Crows swapped the pick they could've got him with.

Massive Port fan predraft, the club apparently apologised to him & his family that we didn't have a pick high enough to recruit him with which shows he was wanted by the club just as much as he wanted to join us.

 

[Wargreymon90]

Definitely. Shame really

Playing on Pods at times? Should be interesting if they go down that route much this year, no replacement for Rutten will make it tough for Talia against the better sides.
