Game Day Round 10: Reigning Premiers Vs Plodding Crows

[Biggie]

Yeo 17 disposals and 12 tackles.

Where the **** is everyone else?

Not sure man

He’s playing like a man wanting more success

The others are hanging back. Shuey included in this. Not sure what the directive is here but it’s not good

 

[Bacchus]

Nelson has not improved. Still a spud. Don't know what Rotham did wrong.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Worst midfield in the league.

Without a choice ruck capable of directing mids offensively they look pretty pathetic.

Perhaps that’s why we’re so good against Collingwood. Just follow Grundy.

Hope this settles the argument that Nelson should never ever play again

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Vardy is the least of our concerns today, why go after him. He has won plenty of hit outs to our non existent midfield.
Where are they? Bit cold and wet today?
Petch, Ryan, Rioli, Waterman, Allen, Cripps all invisible.

No run, seem too tall, and we look soft at it. Losing every contest in close and want to do the tap on party tricks instead of picking it up. Hard to get back from here.

 

[Avalor]

Shuey is not attacking the ball hard enough - barely touched it. Onball, we were done all around the ground. Not enough ball winners - Oallen + Waterman are ineffectual, and are not ball winners. Stuffed up again, Simmo - too bloody stubborn. Woosha incarnate.

Think Sheed has been trying his hardest but that's about it.

Our rucks are garbage tier at the moment.

 

[Eagleboy68]

I'm confident we will scrap some goals in the third quarter hit the front and give up the game in the last quarter

Ho hum

 

[frenchconnection]

I just wish he'd stop running under the ball. He stopped for 10 weeks last year and became the best forward in the game; this year he's back to the JD of 2017

He just needs some Counselling - presumably the coaching staff try - he's always been a confidence player I believe. Just needs to get 2-3 good games under his belt and he will be fine but easier said than done of course. He is a worry at times as would love to see him show a bit of 'mongrel'!

 

[bunkyboy]

It’s the mind set coming into the game. Not prepared to do the hard work. Disrespectful to the Crows TBH. Unforgivably poor quarter. Poor effort and too tall.Their nippy guys are killing us.

 

[ThePuma #9]

Lost this game before it even began at the selection table.

Why are we so ******* obsessed with going tall?

This game was always going to be won on the deck with clean and quick disposal the key.

Get it forward, lock it in and opportunities will come.

Terrible selection & average coaching.

Oh and whoever is in charge of getting the boys up for wet weather footy needs to be sacked.

About as useful as an a-hole on a elbow.

 

[BrotherDodge]

I reckon if we keep just bombing every kick long to a big pack near the boundary line things will turn around soon.

 

[boondy]

Eddie Betts pushes Shepherd in the back cos Shepherd was quicker , that peed me right off . No point being first to the ball

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

We have no plan how to get the ball out of defense.

Have lost count how many times we've gone to a 8-on-8 contest on the wing and the ball had come straight back into our D50.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Not sure what Nelson’s done wrong to cop all this pushback. Was good early and then was one of the many backs that have been overwhelmed by sheer weight of numbers. 24 inside 50s to 5 in that term is not a Jackson Nelson issue.

We'll be 40 or 50 down with ten minutes left in the last and kick a few cheapies.

Indeed. Defence isn't the problem.

Been fine tbh but people hate him so they're seeing what they want to see. Sheppard has been worse.

 

[UpsideDown]

our ins of Nelson and Waterman vs their ins of Milera and Seedsman what a joke

There’s a couple more as well.

 

[jaxxon]

Funny Adelaide looked dangerous when they went with a smaller forward line. Wish we had have thought of that.

Carnt blame the backs -the other two thirds less yoe are the culprits. Crows are playing dry weater footy as you would expect for quality.

Yes hard to believe when you think about it as that used to be our strong point. The fact that we have fallen away as much as we have this year makes one ask the question 'is it the coaching?'
