Game Day Practice Match up in QLD v the reigning premier

[OldCrowBloke]

AFL stats had the frees 22-14 our way!
Felt like they must have stopped counting their frees after half time

Hugh Bond deserves far more recognition than he gets - has some decent scalps.

Was in no danger of leather poisoning but he absolutely shut down C Cameron and I will take that every day of the week

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Nankervis with that performance is ahead of Milera.

Should be ahead of Laird too. Wouldn’t hate MM in for Laird playing a looser half back role.

Laird is done but we know he is a favourite of Maffew.

Nah that’s backwards, it was their way.

Well, that was a bit of fun! First time I’ve seen crows win at that bloody ground (girls have lost by less than a kick the last 4 times!)

Where's the lid at

In orbit…

Was Vader on Fog watch tonight?

You can pop the bubbly tonight

He is quiet. I call it selective vision.

Hi all!
Didn’t get to watch the game unfortunately but wondering for those who did, how’d my boy Nibbler go??

Quite first half but really got involved in the 2nd, had 20 disposals and 9 of them were in the last quarter

Was Vader on Fog watch tonight?

Beat me to it. Only had 10 touches which is less than the benchmark of 14 needed to make him effective regardless that he kicked 3 good goals..did i get it right?

 

[Crow till I die]

That was (brisbane) a big step up from port tonight. The lions had a real crack so all in all a very good hit out to welcome the season proper

Bit harsh to judge a 197cm second year player on one trial game in that weather.

Agreed. Don’t think there’s any reason to be concerned with Curtin.

Heck some teams barely even play 3 tall forwards let alone 4.

Will be very interesting to see this year if and when we rest Tex, if Curtin as that 3rd tall can get involved a lot more

All hail our new coach.
He needs some more logos on that shirt as well.

Bloody Murph didn’t touch it in the last again.

Yeh but I was pleased with his game

 

[Trigger13]

Are we concerned about Curtin? Namely the fact he looks completely lost out there. Much like last year?

Mind you, I’d be backing him in to turn the tables in round 1 — as reward for his pre-season.

But Nicks.

Nankervis with that performance is ahead of Milera.

By miles

Give Milera first chance. He can offer more run rebound ball use than Nankervis which will help our transition game (which is better than our stoppage game). Nankervis is half handy but he more a small who plays tall, good ball in air, good overhead. Ball hits ground, not as good. He average MG, and he not heap dash agile and doesn't scream out handball receive great ball user. If he back, he depth - going left field, I'd even go so far say he could be physically, characteristically trapped - trade. Find develop a better Milera. Let's start getting bit less conservative, bit more ruthless; and list is pretty average. Asking a bit much I know, it's crows. 25 years and counting is no abnormality

Good to see some moemt more fwd half game tonight, some repeat entry. We leaking bit to oppo front half, dont get me wrong i love the counter pulling the trigger transition back half but we may need find bit more Plan B - some clean stoppage, some territory, some front half turnover - some fwd half score. Even if just to find another avenue to goal, be less predictable, for a breather, some situational, some balance etc etc. We can't always heavily lean transition or heaven forbid slingshot shot out the back. Game dictates that generally won't always happen, oppo won't always allow it to happen. Gws, Pies, Cats they got some stoppage (Peatling) or fwd half (Nibbler) stuff. I'd want to see what

Indeed! I thought Nank's game was good and that he continued on his upward trajectory from last year. A lock for round 1!
