AFL Autopsy Round 21: 43 Point loss to Adelaide

[Harlequin]

No surprise we came second.

Hooker kicks 4

Eddie Betts kept goalless

Those ****ing Red time goals

 

[JayJ20]

Umpiring a joke. Had enough of this crap when other teams get a ride

 

[Tassieboy]

Fought on OK. Shame about the last two minutes of every quarter

 

[BomberFan355]

McGrath gave Betts a bath.

 

[Loonerty]

Honestly - not too bad.

Crows had a serious rub of the green tonight and they're already the best team in the comp. Really difficult to beat them when they combine.

 

[jmoo wan]

feeling a lot more positive about this game than the last few weeks to be honest.

Adelaide were amazing. every pass was precision. they were great, the officiating was shit but we never stopped trying.

we've got some things to work on but we certainly have a brilliant base from which to build.

 

[DapperDon]

Well could have been worse could have been better.

Next week we select a proper 22 unit and hopefully games go our way and we make the 8.

Be careful not to lay a good tackle next week as it may offend some suits and kill the game we all love.

Eddie Betts kept goalless/QUOTE]
Andy McGrath - you ****ing star

 

[Sooper]

Watch Andrew McGrath's Rising Star odds get slaughtered after his superb job on Eddie Betts. Eddie has played 88 games for the Crows and this was just the seventh time he has been held goalless playing in that forward line.

 

[eDPS]

Betts 0 goals
McGrath 25 touches

He gets everyone's 5 votes don't kid yourselves this kid is a star

 

[Lore]

Thank God we aren't making finals. We'd get embarrassed.

Not if we ran into any of the teams we've already beaten. Being embarrassed in a prelim or a granny wouldn't be so bad

 

[Nomulus]

Is there any avenue for a formal protest of the umpiring by the club?

 

[Capt Hindsight]

Got beaten by a cleaner more efficient outfit.
Daniher, Hooker and Stewart combo did well.

 

[Rack Watts]

Felt much closer than it was.
The umpires absolutely ****ed us.

 

[Harlequin]

A lot to be excited about

 

[Matthew_Lloyd]

Dropping Hartley kicked us in the arse. As did that dolt Pannell. Oh well, the boys tried to their credit, not upset with their effort.

Adelaide are on another level of talent, and it showed

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

piss off troy pannell

 

[silk]

Games like this remind why I don't watch AFL except for Essendon. Never see a genuinely well umpired game.

 

[raskolnikov]

**** off maggot umpires.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Lung Butter surely stays in ahead of T Bell. Myers again fails to deliver.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Thank God we aren't making finals. We'd get embarrassed.

With Zach and Raz? They had their full team in

 

[JayJ20]

Can't be mad about that performance without Merrett or Fantasia. Adelaide's marking really killed us.

McGrath, Heppell and Hooker were huge

 

[mad_monkey_j]

Hurley had 30 odd disposals, but did he actually defend at any point?

 

[Summer Nights]

Umpiring murdered us. Could've been so much closer. I can't help but feel genuine anger towards Pannell.

Our team, too. ****ing arrogant. Those periods where our mids don't go hard are just totally unacceptable.

I should add that Adelaide played bloody well. They're a hard team to beat.

 

[SherbertLemon]

if they did some sort of analysis on junk time goals essendon would inflate the axis so much the graph would lose its shit
