Game Day RD19: Adelaide Crows vs West Coast Eagles @ Adelaide Oval

[Glenno23]

There's many a person supporting Richmond in 1983 who would've thought such comment was an over reaction.

It is not impossible for 1998 to be our last Premiership for another 16 more years.

Of course. But 16 years is not a lifetime

 

[Glenno23]

remains to be seen.

It does. But at least we're doing something, not sitting there with our fingers in our ears "lalalalalalala" ignoring it

Change right now is better than doing nothing

 

[SloaneysDanger]

he has a point though

where exactly is this club going? what is it building towards? it's just kind of floating, and there's a general acceptance of nothingness. the occasional great performance with showers of shit the normality.

THIS

That would make it 32 years...

What change? I'll wait to see if there actually is any - especially with the coaches. If Bickley is still a coach next year, we might as well play for draft picks from round 1

 

[NSWCROW]

Back to SC NSWCROW!

Thats gone to shit too

 

[NSWCROW]

Or if Mackay didn't shit his pants whenever an opponent gets within 30 metres of him it wouldn't have happened.....

EFA

32 years is not a lifetime either.....

Change? Trigg gone. It starts at the top. People crying out for it, it happens, still not enough?

 

[bj79]

WC are beyond awful with only 1 midfielder of note (and who is in form)

No Cox, no Embley, no Kerr to rip us to shreds

We'll win comfortably IMO

Sorry what's that you said?

 

[xchadders]

Sorry what's that you said?

sounds like he's living in 2004-2005... those players have been replaced by others.

Trigg didn't kick many footballs. Didn't work out the strategy. Didn't coach players how to tackle. Sure glad he's gone, but we're a fair way from a major overhaul. Hope it happens.

And 32 years without a flag will feel like a lifetime.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

I said at the start of the week not to underestimate West Coast. Look what happened.

We are Adelaide. It's the players and the clubs job to frustrate it's fans, obviously.

 

[Glenno23]

Sorry what's that you said?

I did add IMO

We should've won. I stand by that. I watch the eagles every week. Its a disgrace we lost that. Pathetic really

they are over-achievers who woulda thunk it?

 

[andrevich]

switch clubs if you want a premiership...free agency style...
if Walker cant find his mojo next year then it's going to be a long long long time before we get remotely close...

Walker is the least of our worries !

 

[Redleg Crow]

Geez, 1 goal to 6.5 in the last quarter. After how well we played in the 3rd quarter, that is horrific

 

[rocket18]

How many games of the quality of Gaff's today has Mackay played? Standard 16 possessions including 3 kicks for him today...

This has been his stock standard game (check his season stats in his 4 year deal thread) and yet the dumbshits that look after our list have given him 4 years.

 

[jenny61_99]

Lol. Would never change teams. I love the club and have my entire life but my god, the frustration this teams brings it's fans sometimes is beyond belief.

It's like we're that team that is incapable of winning a premiership ever again.

You don't reckon EVERY footy team is like that? And EVERY footy fan feels the same way at times? Honestly, you'd think our club was the only club to play shit from time to time.

 

[jenny61_99]

DON'T jenny

Just don't.....

What? Point out that we were over run in the final quarter after having two less days break? Really? Logic tells you that WC were the fresher team, and that proved to be true. I'm not stating anything that isn't fact.

 

[Bob Neil]

To be fair, Gaff is a downhill skier. Was good today because his team was leading the way. He's normally as spudley as Mackay, just a bit younger

Fair enough but I'd at least like to see Mackay get 30 & 3 in one of our wins!!

 

[Better ahead]

Seriously, stop being such an apologist. The reason we lost was nothing to do with the extra two days. We would have been dead and buried early in the game if WC could kick straight.
If you are going to go down the the extra break you really are burying your head in the sand.

 

[StonesThrow]

Lol I knew we would lose one like this in our remaining games. Most people were way too over confident in this game and our finals hopes. Still mentally fragile.

Have to give credit to west coast though. Their pressure, skills and game plan was very very good today. Felt like they couldn't do anything wrong.

 

[StonesThrow]

How many 6 day breaks have we had lately? Feels like every game that happens.

 

[xchadders]

Fair enough but I'd at least like to see Mackay get 30 & 3 in one of our wins!!

bugger that, i want to see him with 30 and 3 in one of our losses.

 

[Greatness23]

Memories of the Melbourne game strike fear into me today.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Being talked up all week is a recipe for disaster. Unbelievable.
