Review Round 19 vs Adelaide @ Adelaide Oval - Sun 20 July 4:40pm

[ColdWarWarrior]

KING!!

 

[ColdWarWarrior]

The umpiring is disgraceful in this game, the umps ought to put a Crows guernsey on.

 

[eighties]

Man our tall fwds never making it to a contest is infuriating…

 

[Mini GF]

Alright you blokes man up and fight this game out now.
This is crucial you show some fight again.

 

[Brenton87]

At least minimise the damage to our percentage. Players getting paid to do sweet FA

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Rowell 2nd best ever rated game

Has been unreal today, thought some goals would carry more weight in their numbers

 

[CommittedSuns]

Collins missing is huge, but full credit to Oscar Adams stepping up. Needed Ballard, Collins as lockdown defenders and Andrew incepting. But they have Rachele out too

You’d think he stays in now that we will be missing Rioli.

Adelaide are trash and I challenge any Crows fan to inbox me explaining how they were the better team today.


Mods come at me

You wish! I'm going to keep you here and make you read all the Crows fans dribble

 

[TheGoldPersons]

Wouldnt have been end of world if had let Ainsworth walk

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Standard Adelaide oval game

 

[Mini GF]

The first half was 2011 stuff but they didn’t pack it in.

 

[Iva Bigun]

Very frustrating game, some things to like and some to question.

I thought the boy fought it out well, Witts, Rowell, Noah, Flanders were all good. I think Fiorini and Humphrey were also ok

Ainsworth, Mac, King can **** off as far as I am concerned

 

[Young_Guns]

Well, the severity of that loss will depend on how we respond to it. Unfortunately, most of the stats don’t show a 60 point difference, so I am very worried that the coaches will just mark it down to a bad night kicking inside 50 when every man and their dog can see change is needed to the attacking gameplan.

Rowell was immense, and Noah, Flanders and Fiorini toiled away. Thought it was the outside where we struggled. Not enough quality ball use and our players just got carved up by Crows flying forward getting overlaps.

Also, possibly the worst umpired game I can remember watching. 8 50’s is hopeless.

Need to get our chins up after tonight and probably next week and not crumble in a heap for the final 5 winnable games.

 

[JRyan23]

Lot of people in here love to overreact. This was always going to be a loss, yes it wasn't pretty and was larger than I expected but my goodness it isn't the end of the world.

Losses of large nature happen to teams all the time. I remember the Saints dismantling Richmond at Marvel in one of Richmond's premiership years, Port beat a Sydney team who made the GF by 100 last year.

We were happy to take 1 win from this 3 game stretch (Pies, Crows, Lions), and we already have 1, with the Lions still to play. There's 6 games left with 4 games against bottom 9 sides, and 2 games at home v other challengers, we are still in a great position to host a final this year. This result tonight is probably what was needed for the group, and I am sure they will bounce back like they have all year. Go suns

 

[Supersuns]

Genuinely struggling to see any of the positives. Total failure against a top 8 team. The forward line issues have been an problem for 4 years with no end in sight, Mac has paper thin skin and gives away dumb free kicks every week. Not good enough at all for a player on the biggest every contract in the slightest. And no small defenders who know what the word defend means.
Over you to "master coach".

Yes agreed. But injuries starting to mount. Let’s hope Collins and Graham are fit next week

This.
Can't let this defeat any spirit.

 

[The Kings Ransom]

Only watched the first 40 mins or so.
Literally never saw King leading to the ball.
On the contrary, saw Keane leading him to the ball about 6 times.

Rowell doesn't get overawed.
Flanders also looked solid. Glad he's back in form.

Somebody… somebody changed my words.. no idea who.


Ps… my inbox has been blowing up since..

 

[WheresGroomgone]

Fine, why you ask?

You have the audacity to call Crows supporters inbred and yet you come from the Gutter!
Play on mate

It’s worse…..

I’m from Adelaide, live in the gutter.

The shot wasn’t at Adelaide the town.. its was at the supporters of the crows, which given you needed to drag it back up, maybe it was a fair shot

Well written mate. Hopefully a wake up call for the boys. Probably hungover from the Pies win. I believe we'll bounce back

 

[KaySwizzle]

6 goals from 52 inside 50s is the only stat that should be focused on this week.

Need a big change in our forward line. Stop pretending that Read, Walter and King will work, or that Budarick (lots of touches though!) or even Ainsworth (so inconsistent) will ever be forwards who will threaten an opposing team.

Then we just chuck in some midfielders and hope for the best…

Long and King have also dropped in form significantly, which has impacted our scores for a month or so.

Currently, our forward line is the worst of the top 8 sides and nobody can change my mind. And our defence is looking very shaky with Rioli out. Needs Collins back ASAP.

And need a big bounce back. Can’t be humiliated two weeks in a row!
