Game Day Round 4 Sydney v Adelaide

[Dangas]

Great game, shame in the result. Tough to win over there we pushed them, they pushed us. Heeney and Hanners were terrific.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Honourable loss. No shame in that. Well played by Adelaide.

 

[The King!]

Complete and under shit. Can accept that the boys didn't give up, and very good effort to them. I constantly go back to that ******* stupid push in the back (not paid), the 10,000 bullshit free kicks throughout the match.

I regularly say umpiring doesn't decide a match and the better team wins but **** me it is hard to feel that way right now.

Just said that to my wife and she told me to shut the f up!

Poor umpiring both ways though. We were just far too wasteful when it mattered most. Can't excuse mills turnover that led to a goal. Just seemed like every time the crows were in their 50 they'd score. Us not so much. Heeney brilliant though.

Shane Biggs got BOG in the Dogs vs Blues game. Yayyyyyy

I've made my peace with it. You won't keep every player. We've found some guns of our own.

 

[miggs]

Umps ruined a cracking game.

 

[Lerch]

Last time we lost to Adelaide we won the flag so not too concerned. Good litmus test IMO.

He doesn't fit into our backline, he makes good decisions

Lol

 

[Lakeside Swan]

They just showed the final goal on ch 7. Wasn't that a clear push in the back by Betts? Pathetic decision. I can only imagine what some of the other udecisions were like.

 

[SilentHunter_]

IF we had a backline this team would seriously be unstoppable. No.1 priority over the offseason.

 

[PVF]

Tough loss but last season we would've lost that one by 30 odd with us scoring only around 60 points so nothing to get too worried over.

Big game next week.

 

[ashep]

Oh well, can't win 'em all.

Smashing game and can't begrudge the Crows the result. Heeney and Mills were outstanding. Papley came down from his cloud a little and there are a few issues to sort out down back but on the whole, we're going to be right in the thick of it.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Amazing game, Adelaide had a fair bit of luck go their way but probably deserved it in the end, were the more efficient team for most of the night. West Coast next week will be tough backing up from this.

 

[robbieando]

We spent 10% more time in our defensive half compared to the first 3 Round and the Crows spend 10% more time in their forward half compared to their first 3 rounds. We lost it in the midfield in the 2nd and 3rd quarters when we had them covered in that area for the first quarter.

Compared to last year I think we even look better losing. Weird comment but we hang in, we create, and for the most part the skills are up.

Still sucks, though.
