Review R10: The Good, Bad and the Ugly vs. Collingwood

[imagifED]

IDK even know who to blame for this one.
Nicks for being defensive AGAIN and accepting a slow scrap.
Our players for choking AGAIN and missing easy shots.
Or umpires for shafting us AGAIN.

 

[jirkago1975]

Don’t want to hear any bullshit about sacking Nicks!!! We had our chances and we didn’t take them. Our skills need to get better if we are to become a good team!! To many times we fumbled or kicked poorly
Cuttin, Rankine twice and Rash all had chances and fluffed them.

 

[ABAB]

Choke in the 3rd and our last inside 50 was Milera in the clear and direct turnover, how poetic.

 

[GreyCrow]

The Good
I don't know if I can find any

The Bad
Missing shots on goal


The Ugly
Continued selection issues
Missing shots on goal


If we want to be a force we need a squad not a team

 

[mtbkym]

Ugly, Gary Lyon’s absolute biased bullshit commentary!!

 

[CrowToon]

Soligo, Tex, Milera and Nankervis all awful today.

Plenty of others too but the above have no form to fall back on.

Today was a test of toughness and it should smack selection committee square between the eyes that anyone not willing to crack in when the going gets hard should be banished.

 

[Samcro24]

The majority of the big footy board:

Tex needs a rest and conditions won’t suit a tall forward line.

Tex plays. Conditions don’t suit him. Gets subbed.

Shocked to be sitting here.

[HarryCrow]

Worst game i've seen from Keays but he has credits.
Milera. Taylor and Nank can have a rest.

 

[GROTTO]

The worst thing that could come from this season is scraping into finals from an easy fixture and ticking the season off as a success.

Its even worse than that.

Scraping into the Finals WILL 100% guarantee Nicks stays on.

 

[CrowToon]

I'm a Nicks hater but today wasn't him.

You can't pretend that Curtin, Izak and Rachele weren't culpable with their straightforward misses.

If you think its Nicks today then you are in denial.

We also made countless 0 IQ decisions (as per). That isn't coaching that's just dumb footballers with skill.

 

[Crowstar]

Weak as piss FC. Mentally weak. Always fail the litmus tests.
We will pump West Coast because we are downhill skiers.
The club will never change.

 

[Dewy006]

Another brave loss to Collingwood.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Another game that went according to last year's result.

We're not improved, we're just playing teams in different orders.

 

[6BTS]

It seems this team has a football brain. Just the one to share around between them all.

 

[latinoheat]

Bad: Keyes and Cumming missing the bus to the ground

 

[Mattrox]

Ugly: Worrkecalled HTB when caught high.

Bad. Missing gettable setshots.

 

[mtbkym]

Ugly - Umpire calling Milera for a throw late in 3rd. Result - Collingwood goal. Did the umpire think it was a throw, coz he obviously didn’t see it

 

[dogs105]

Ugly: Josh Rachele taking his eyes off the ball any time contact was imminent. Terrible kicking for goal. Awful umpiring. Wayne Milera

's mistakes. Not playing Draper. Berry being tackled running in to goal. Clearance work.

Good: Hinge's attack on the ball.

 

[pjcrows]

Another game that went according to last year's result.

We're not improved, we're just playing teams in different orders.

Correct.

 

[ABAB]

Yeah, just smashing teams we only just beat last year lol.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Anyone who says it was good that it was close should give themselves an uppercut. Repeatedly losing close ones in the same exact way isn't a good thing, it isn't a sign of being a good side. It is a sign that the opponent does just enough to win.

Collingwood do not respect us, and they don't need to, the Crows do not deserve respect.

The most talented players in the side shanking easy shots on goal is a culture issue. The umpires don't respect us either, that's why they engage in bullshit officiating.

 

[Geoffa32]

Very even game. Neither side had periods with real momentum

Yes we made plenty of general play errors. Nank and Milera where very poor.

But, at the end of the day the game came down to us missing set shots, and them nailing them.

Given our clearance dominance, getting the centre break reset woukd have been important for us.

Plus they scored on at least two set shot miss kick ins.


Set shot kicking is mental. This is an area our guys struggle with. Hence we lose these close games.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Frustrating considering periods of dominating and +8 i50's.

But we know where we are at 5th-8th team. We might win an EF but that's it. I'm at peace with it.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Good:
Fog. Soligo second half.

Bad:
Curtin, Rankine, Rachele all choked

Milera. Please go play for Port. Go play for anyone.

Nankervis - not it.

Curtin had 0 disposals in the last quarter. Getting sick of being told his talent and potential mean he should always get picked.

Tex should not have been picked.

Time to drop 4-5.
