Review R5: The Good, Bad and the Nicks vs. Geelong Cats

[Rotayjay]

Another day, another loss under Nicks when we were up at three quarter time. **** off.

 

[secondary]

That just got harder and harder to watch from halfway through the second. It felt inevitable in the end they were going to run away with it.
Really bitterly disappointed

 

[Scorpus]

Having talent is irrelevant if your coach is a boiled turnip

 

[OverseasCrowNA]

SACK NICKS

 

[TBM]

Kate McCarthy said it perfectly on Triple M just now

“Crows have all the ingredients but have no idea how to close out close games. Won 2 of their last 17 games decided by under 15 points. Need to learn how to win these to become a good team”

That’s coaching error, pure and simple

Get Nicks out

 

[SydCrow]

Did Sid get any midfield time? Crouch and Soli were thumped.

 

[Moonwatcher]

GOOD: No opponent has been good enough to beat us yet this year.
UGLY: We've beaten ourselves again.

 

[Crowbling]

ROB is horrible. Always has been always will be. Absolute donkey that has no business being considered a professional athlete.

These are the games where I want to see Dawson at his best, not in a 10 goal win at home vs St Kilda.

Nicks completely out coached. Had no answer to Geelong moving to a short kicking and handball game.

So disappointed. Silver lining is we won our first 3 so still in ok shape.

 

[Executive Landlord]

Our seniors are so ****ing trash. Laird legit offers no defensive pressure. Hinge worst game for the club and the bald fraudulent campaigner still in the coaches box. **** OFF

 

[Crow till I die]

I thought we went in one tall short in defence...played out exactly like that.

But some of that umpiring was next level favoring geelong and we absolutely failed to execute and let them time and time again get us holding the ball..thats a complete lack of both awareness AND lack of communication. To not come out and put geelong away was a black stain on this season...we shit the bed skill wise and allowed them to win clearance after clearance without a whelp

 

[GreyCrow]

Hot day game in QLD followed by a 5 day break this is what you get.

So why didnt we manage it at selection better?

 

[TGFC]

Nankervis and sholl were soft

 

[xFuzZBaLL]

Chris Scott came out with the better game plan after half time, Nicks didn't change a thing. Outclassed, out coached.
Crows crumble into a complete sack of shit as soon as they're under pressure. Couldn't kick, couldn't mark, couldn't get their hands on the ball. Truly pathetic

 

[Slippery Pete]

Having talent is irrelevant if your coach is a boiled turnip

Question:

Are we going to be gaslit about Nicks for another five years like Port fans have been with Hinkley?

 

[Slippery Pete]

When did Geelong add a verse to their song?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I'm just completely over this shit.

So tempted to not watch another game until that fraud Nicks is gone from the club.

 

[SydCrow]

Cannot dislike Dangerfield.

 

[Shuestar13]

The impediment is obvious. Trust in Neil to act accordingly when the time comes.

Still a long way to go, needs to not revert back to selection errors. Where was Butts?

 

[SugarShane]

Can't believe I got fooled into changing my tip at the last minute. Knew all week we were never winning this.

 

[SydCrow]

When did Geelong add a verse to their song?

What rhymes with ambition?

 

[Scorpus]

Remember that time Hugh Greenwood called us out for our focus on stats over impact?

That is Matt Crouch to a tee

He makes our midfield worse in tough games like this

 

[Crowstar]

We have dumb footballers across every line.
Fwd line held up.
Mids and defense were shocking at times.
Now we know where we really sit.
Mid table again. Ordinary football club.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

We're not serious. Wins against shit teams doesn't make us good. A long, long way to go.

 

[Dewy006]

Well it was a fun 3 weeks, nice to see normal service has resumed.

 

[Maddogmetro]

The boys looked completely cooked in the fourth quarter. Could have held on if not for the 4 goals in 2 minutes across two quarters. Disappointing loss.
