Review QF: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Collingwood

[Left Foot Punt]

UGLY. Full stop!

 

[pjcrows]

Ugly: Crows fans booing whenever the Collingwood chant started. It sounded weird and dumb. Cheer your own team, don't boo the opponents for cheering theirs!

 

[Cromulant]

Thilthorpe hand balling to Keays instead of kicking the goal was up up there.

Brings the margin back to 2 goals that one.... but we failed under the heat

 

[Billy_01]

Hard to pin it on individuals but **** me Soligo let us down. Our mids all look like recycled players from other positions. Laird our only player who hunts the ball it’s embarrassing. I’d have thrown Curtin in there and given him a license to go for everything.

 

[brew]

If we face Hawthorn next week we are cooked

Na… if we get up… will be like us last year with Port.

 

[big78sam]

Ugly: We are clearly 1 or 2 good midfielders short. Soligo, peatling and Berry are ok but just not good enough when it counts. That 3rd quarter burst where they thrashed us out of the middle was the difference.

 

[ams4crows]

We didn't even look like a finals worthy side!

We finished top and let 4th beat us at home, we blew the best chance the game can hand you.

We are still in the finals, but I can't see us doing anything noteworthy.

Our Midfield is just not good enough.

Taking issue with this is bizzare, it's the crowd drowning out theirs.

 

[mick500]

Collingwood just harder at the footy all night and we played reactionary footy. Not enough players putting their heads over the ball. I don't think we could play much worse.

 

[Firewalker]

I know it would never happen but I would love to know what happens if Thilthorpe is in the ruck to start the 3rd quarter… the insipid effort in the centre to start that 3rd quarter by all of them in there was shameful.

 

[earlsta]

think we really missed Rankine and Rachelle, both of them go in the middle to win us clearances when our mids are down, we’re missing their X factor, especially Rankine.

 

[Danger in Texas]

The Houdini midfield doing its best disappearing act tonight

Unbelievably awful

 

[Cromulant]

Nah he changed it up - the fantastic idea of Laird at stoppage.

Funnily enough Laird had more positive influence on the game than the majority of our midfielders.

And thats the sad thing

All year we heard non stop blabbering about no injuries, but we essentially lost our 2 finals built players before the finals started....

 

[Firewalker]

van Berlo should’ve ended up becoming a rocket scientist or some shit post footy like he was going to rather than becoming a coach

 

[Crow_Magnon]

Can someone explain to me what Murray brings that means he plays in front of Butts?

Yep. Soon as Cox played, that would've been my change...

I don’t really see a problem with this. I thought the Quaynor booing was weirder (and the Houston booing was awesome)

 

[Southerntakeover]

Our clubs a disgrace.

Nothing good will ever come from its culture.

 

[Dewy006]

Thilthorpe hand balling to Keays instead of kicking the goal was up up there.

Add Smith blindly bombing it to Darcy Moore when he had 2 clear options and we have quite the trifecta of “Crows Finals moments”

 

[Bearded Clam]

“we’ve got the power to choke.. its the true port adelaide tradition”.. oh, wait…

We reeked.. absolutely stank.. of our poor cousins down the road tonight.

This dickhead coach of ours isn't gonna win us a gf.. probably wont even get us to one just like his mentor Hinkley never did..

Keays.. just go away.. most selfish player in the league and big games like this expose hacks like him
worrell.. worst game I have ever seen him play
ROB.. what a fxxkn hack. Cant kick, cant mark, cant even tackle, cant tap ruck to advantage. Seriously.. how did he even get a look in at this level?
Taylor.. oxygen thief.. did nothing
Peatling.. MIA
Hinge.. deserved to be dragged.. but replacing him with captain cooked?.. pfft.. just retire smith you are embarrassing yourself and destroying any legacy you may have had.
Soligo.. does good things.. also does a hell of a lot of bad things
Cumming.. barely saw him

Our midfield.. after nearly 6 years.. is still hot garbage.

Cannot beleive that fxxkhead Nicks reverted back to putting keays and laird back in there!!.. what an absolute fraud.

we need a new coach. This clown is gonna waste the talent we have.

GO THE LIONS.

 

[ams4crows]

Maybe this was karma for the absolute Dumb fans that we're booing Quanor.

 

[Scorpus]

The Houdini midfield doing its best disappearing act tonight

Unbelievably awful

Peatling was disgraceful. If you told me he didn't play I'd believe you

 

[Cromulant]

Can someone explain to me what Murray brings that means he plays in front of Butts?

When you find out, can you let me know.

 

[Golumless]

One of the most botched team selections I’ve ever seen. Michalanney played in a role he’s got absolutely no clue how to play for no reason whatsoever other than a coach shitting the bed and selecting 9 defenders.

A midfield devoid of poise. Including the captain and Soligo who were both pathetic when it mattered.

Send out the search party for Fogarty. Did he even play the second half?

The only positives were Curtin, Pedlar, Worrell, Neal-Bullen and Laird.

Nobody else coped with the pressure. Not one.

Yup, that Richmond game really came back to bite us in the arse.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Good: Collingwood
Bad: player mistakes
Ugly: Nicks shit poor coaching and inability to fire up the players after what happened. Im also pissed off at Dawson and Tex for refusing to fly the flag. Kind of a pedestrian effort by leaders who should have stood up for Rankine. ****ing deplorable.
