Review R14: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Hawthorn Hawks

[Eagleboy2011]

Well the crows have a bye next round. Then after that, the draw opens up

ROB's kick across goals from 5m out.

Ugly> Nicks selecting Murphy.

Murphy has been a useless selection for two years. Consistently disappears and harIts the very definition of stupid is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

The consistent selection of Murphy has yielded the very same results for a long time. Im not sure what Nicks thinks will change. No evidence has presented itself Murphy is the answer.

Well apparently his attitude at SANFL level is exemplary!

WELL FRICKEN LEAVE HIM THERE THEN

Well the crows have a bye next round. Then after that, the draw opens up

Problem is we have a coach who gets outcoached on match day by the better teams.

We can't threaten for a flag with this moron.

Bringing back Murphy to spud it up is just another reminder Nicks never learns because he is just not very smart.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

This could be the start of a slippery slide down the ladder like 2023.

That's what it smells like to me. Has all the hallmarks. Going defensive after playing an attacking brand earlier and selecting experienced plodders instead of youth. Nicks has loser instincts.

 

[Crow_68]

0.9 between Rachele/Thilthorpe/Tex/Fog

That's the game.

Murphy, Pedlar, ANB not hitting the scoreboard.

 

[pjcrows]

For those furious with selection - wait until they bring Crouch back. It will absolutely happen.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Settle. We aren't losing to Richmond or Melbourne.

Melbourne is very loseable given their one point loss to Collingwood and their win up at the Gabba.

 

[thebirdman 24]

Settle. We aren't losing to Richmond or Melbourne.

Stranger things have happened. Tigers got us last year at home and Melbourne are hot and cold.

 

[ams4crows]

We had our opportunity to win with the amount of chances we had, we lost that game Hawthorn didn't win it, we couldn't hit a target inside 50 after the first 5 minutes

 

[Owen_AFC97]

At least we know who the AFL wanted to win. We’ve got the official AFL page trolling our football club.

 

[Southerntakeover]

That's what it smells like to me. Has all the hallmarks. Going defensive after playing an attacking brand earlier and selecting experienced plodders instead of youth. Nicks has loser instincts.

The good news is that we're also sabotaging next year by making sure that we don't have a seasoned Draper

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

The AFC social media team best stop reading this thread

 

[Crowbling]

I said to my wife this must surely be Murphys “McHenry” game - dropped him for poor form, brought him back one more time, spuds it up, never seen again.

Surely this is it

A small forward who has horrible skills and doesn’t kick goals. He is going at tackling guys as they are running the ball out for a throw in though.

 

[Multiballz]

Can’t have Smith, Laird and Murphy in the team at the same time. That’s insanity. Only thing worst would have been if David Mackay put on a crows jumper and ran onto the field.

Id take Dmac in a heartbeat after that lot.

 

[Eddie Murphy]

How effective Tex is hinges entirely on how well our other talls perform. That just can’t be enough to justify a spot in these conditions.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Not going anywhere with this coach

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Jarman Impey ran rings around us

The first time that's ever been said by anyone

 

[StonesThrow]

Fair to say that miss by TT straight in front in the first quarter was costly.

Yes, but they missed some easy ones too. Our problem wasn't goal kicking, it was forward entries. We had no idea how to use the ball forward and that's the reason why we lost.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Has Nicks ever outcoached someone?

 

[Bay62]

A small forward who has horrible skills and doesn’t kick goals. He is going at tackling guys as they are running the ball out for a throw in though.

Why would you play someone as a small forward when they have NEVER kicked goals as a small forward??

Murphy actually has a decently accurate leg from the 50. PUT HIM THERE IF ANYWHERE

 

[ams4crows]

12 free kicks to 2 in the last quarter along with 2 50s against

 

[40porpoise]

Tex should've been subbed off. And you cant tell me we would've been worse off playing draper ahead of murphy?

Also, that last play that led to the Newcombe goal. What the hell was with our setup and how did we let one lose out the back in a tight game with 3 minutes left? That's on the coaches

 

[Geoffa32]

Tex not marking that one on one contest late shows he is done.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Yes, but they missed some easy ones too. Our problem wasn't goal kicking, it was forward entries. We had no idea how to use the ball forward and that's the reason why we lost.

5.14. I think our goal kicking was a bit of a problem
