Review R1: The Good, Bad and Ugly vs. St Kilda

[Moonwatcher]

Good: suddenly we have elite talent and depth.

AFL quality talent at least. Hopefully the likes of Draper will prove to be elite.

I don't think anyone can say Laird or Milera should be dropped

A good run of games now for Wayne and hope nobody is a good coach who runs quick players off them both

Milera was terrible. I know we won easily, but you don't get to play with a full strength team at home against a middling team missing 7 of their best 22 very often. Deliberately carrying players is a luxury you can ill-afford most weeks.

 

[FR0GGY]

Good, we definitely made far more positional changes than we’ve done before between midfield and forward.

I knew I had the number 8 put on my guernsey for a reason

Josh Mail fan?

Also port most likely holding up the ladder at the end of the round.

 

[RicMcHart]

The Crows after game in the Magarey Room is a dismal failure as the audio was woeful with delay to the change room not synching. No one could hear what was happening too much noise from the bar drowned out any interviews.
Pretty disappointing for all the members that made the effort to go up to the Magarey Room. Lift your game Adelaide Football Club as your after match function was a dismal failure.

 

[Footypie32]

28 touches, 2 goals and 5 tackles to Izak.

Yet I still feel like he has another gear.

Could have some scary good games this year.

 

[Coopers]

Edit: Wrong thread.

So uh, how good is that Izak guy?

Like he had such a great game and it also kind of felt like a bunch of his plays were "almost", and he was kinda quiet in Q1. Like imagine him being better than that.

I agree.

 

[1970crow]

Easy for supporters (and players) to get carried away with a round 1 win but that was a complete team performance. There was no weakness anywhere, albeit against a bottom four side. Next week will tell us a lot more.

We conceded 52 inside 50s to our 59. Despite being solidly on top, we continue to allow relatively easy transition.

I was only 5yo when he played

Sometimes you need 4 points and the training run.

Hopefully Murphy will never pull on the tricolours again.

Led our side for contested possessions as well.

 

[LiquidCrow]

What a great way to kick of the season!

I know the Saints have lots of injuries and missing players, but we’ve often underperformed against weaker sides so big wins like this are always welcome.

Not a lot to dislike, aside from missing some gettable shots in front of goal and the goals conceded in red time.

 

[CrowinNT]

Good call subbing Tex and not Curtin

A good decision

 

[Redleg Crow]

23 handballs

Absolutely what we want - handballs to speed. Vital to have someone in and under with our runners

 

[Geoffa32]

Only St Kilda.

But method of play is great. Quick and direct.

Three key talks will work if we keep this up.

Plus the smalls worked well off them.

 

[Hbanger]

Good. Starting the year with a win. It's been a while.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Led our side for contested possessions as well.

Reckon he will get the 3 Brownlow votes

Hard to find people who could be upset with a 60 point win.

Feel like we could win the grand final by 200 points and you would still bitch and moan.

 

[GreyCrow]

Absolutely what we want - handballs to speed. Vital to have someone in and under with our runners

No doubt and his defensive side gather and handball to Soligo is exactly what we need

Dawson 26 disposals 24 kicks 2 handballs and Dawson getting the praise and votes

 

[Jeffcrowe]

We conceded 52 inside 50s to our 59. Despite being solidly on top, we continue to allow relatively easy transition.

Struggled with clearance battle all day other than dominating about 5 centre ones in a row in 3rd quarter

 

[daniel_4tw]

Fantastic game with a heap of positives.

But I am now officially worried about Curtin.
