Review R21: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Hawthorn

[SugarShane]

How good is footy, how good was the Tex interview. Enjoying the ride

I will almost, allllmost, forgive the footy gods for 2017 if Tex gets a Shane Crawford send off.

 

[radiojake]

9 wins in a row at Adelaide Oval

new record for the club, previous best was 8 in a row in 2015-2016

... Tex's goalS ...

My bad, and both with a high degree of difficulty.

 

[Carmo]

Bad: not only did Cook hardly get a touch, he didn’t get near it. Metres behind his opponent on several occasions. Easily beaten in marking duels. It will be hard for him to come back from this.

If cook is out we have to try Dowling in that role. He was good at it when the team was a lot.shitter so I'd love to see him in this one. About the only player who's already played that we haven't tried this year.

 

[MRB37]

Curtin in the last

6 disposals (all contested) and 3 clearances. Both highs across the ground for the quarter.

 

[Crows I Am]

What a win, the atmosphere at the game was electric in that last quarter, especially when Tex kicked that 2nd goal from the boundary.

To win like that after that terrible start, with the umps doing what they could to get the Hawks up and with our backline under manned was sensational. Hawks threw everything at us and we managed to hold on.

Dawson, ROB, Worrell, Milera, Curtin, Tex and Rankine were our best. But plenty others contributed.

 

[ok.crows]

Great - win the last 3 and it's possibly a minor premiership

Win the last 3 and its definitely a minor premiership.

 

[cleanhands]

That was probably the quickest half dozen bourbon cans I've ever consumed and I've already started to get a hangover but it was worth it

Children don’t try this at home




Responsible drinking

 

[Geoffa32]

This will be DCs team within 3 years.


I don't even care if we don't get NWM.


His loss if he doesn't join us.

who is in the best form of his career

 

[George CantStandYa]

Curtin in the last

6 disposals (all contested) and 3 clearances. Both highs across the ground for the quarter.

And saved us in the first

 

[Golumless]

Doing his knee in 2017 I think cost us the flag.

One of many cascading issues. Factor in losing McGovern which meant we lost our greatest weapon (a balanced four tall forward line) and we were ripe for the taking

 

[Greenfinger]

If you like getting day drunk in the middle of the week, watch Nicksy's pressers and do a shot for every time he says "in that space".

And a second one for every time he licks his lips

 

[Scorpus]

Jack Ginnivan was caught giving the finger to the crowd so enjoy your fine!

 

[Southerntakeover]

Just enjoy it.

I'm trying. We've been hurt before.

 

[suburpy]

I couldn’t see the “dangerous tackle” so asking not based on if it was soft based on afl disposition against it and handing games. Who tackled and was it likely to result in anything?

I’d have to be drunk in the first place

If he watches tonight and doesn’t want to be a part of that then what can you do Much more fun playing in front of “30,000” on Sundays and Saturday early and possibly in front of a few tarps I guess.

It was Sam Berry, he left both arms free, there was only incidental contact. It would be outrageous to suspend him

I agree about Dowling, but is it getting too late in the year for that change?

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Catch me if you can

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Hawks win that by 8 goals anywhere but Adelaide

Goodnight all

 

[Geoffa32]

Two clutch goals by Tex was massive.

 

[Smoooothy]

I don't think possibly, win the last 3 and it's for certain a minor premiership.

Yeah you're right. Forgot we play Collingwood in there too

 

[Mattrox]

Apparently Richo thinks we have to feel for Hawthorn when Rankine got that 50m penalty

Ump never called play on. We've been stung on those too.

*right in front of me!
