Cameron and Hawkins are superstars but they aren't great at bringing the ball down on the long kicks down the line

I don’t think we will be getting many 50/50 free kicks.

Actually we might not even get many 70/30 ones.

 

[Live in hope]

Missed beginning of game - who were the late outs?

 

[Lana]

What a weird game. We could have conceded 10 goals that quarter playing like that.

Reminds me of a similar one against Port at the same venue where Taylor kept us in the game under heavy fire in 2nd quarter where it was just pinned in our defensive half, we ended up winning that in the last couples of minutes with some Selwood grit.

 

[dangerwood]

How about that massive non decision to O’Henry for front on contact? If that was a crows player it would have been a free kick.

Yeah absolutely, Henry had him beat and only reason he didn't mark it is because he was dragged down from the front!

This is such a strange game
Hardly even frees are getting paid both ways that would be paid in every other game
Strange to watch

Need to stop the long bombs. I say it every season, kick shorter + lower to Hawkins, to bring him out + mark on the lead. He's phenomenal at marking, then.

 

[D BRIDGE]

I’m keen to know what role Clark plays better than anyone in the team.

 

[catempire]

Never has a two goal lead at half time against an interstate opponent away felt so precarious.

 

[BuRgeRs82]

Something with our D50 exits is seriously stuffed. It's either Adelaide uncontested mark or too many flying for a mark leaving free Crows...and just as I type that we finally get it up our end for a shot.

Yeah I don't why Guthrie didn't take the short towards the end of the first quarter. Cost us a goal.

Dont like pulling out of winning a hard ball and he did it at least twice that half.

 

[Jumping Jack]

Can someone get a map and a compass out to Mullin. Young fella is lost out there.

Just no marking option down the line.

No Cameron, no Hawk, no Stanley.

That’s why the crows owned inside 50s that quarter.

I’ll take a 2 goal lead.

Even when we do get the ball to ground, Adelaide are scooping it back to a sweeper.

Also a lot of situations where our pressure is pretty good but they still manage to escape and get territory.

We need to kick to open space and burn them with fast possession chains. This is basically how all of our scores have been created.

He needs to play. Shows glimpses how good he’s going to be.

He's an excellent player and a keeper. Give him a chance, gets to the ball but just needs to stick tackles and bring it in more effectively. Will come with time and strength.

He's a headless chook right now. Needs 30 VFL games

 

[Pavlovs Cat]

Clark not ready. Not quite strong enough yet. Need to convert better to stay in it here.

You can see how good he’s going to be. And I can see why he’s compared with Selwood with the way he plays.

There's 3 blokes who would be ahead of him in the pecking order who would be watching on from their couch in Geelong. He's there because we're short of options.

is not ready for AFL, he trys but is being pushed around like a rag doll. Tuohy turned a positive field position into a negative one by taking so long to make a decision. Tomahawk just has to try harder when he is the only big man in a contest. On a number of occasions he just let the opposition players take uncontested marks. It's a long time bad habit of his so I don't expect it to change. Geelong looked totally stuffed in the second quarter, players standing around and watching their opponents take control. Another effort like that second quarter and Geelong is cactus. How that blatant push in the back to Dempsey wasn't paid is a mystery. His opponent jumped on his back and rode him into the turf. Umpires obviously scared to pay free kicks against Adelaide.

 

[Mr Meow]

These are valuable games for Clark until Guthrie returns. A few of those contested balls and tackles he still looks like what he is, a kid. The keeping your feet and body positioning will come.

I'd say 2025 will be more his year but with our outs, you keep playing him in the 1s.
