Review Round 7 2021 - Adelaide Crows v GWS Giants, 2.10 pm @ Adelaide Oval, Sat 1 May

[Giant Strides]

Ton up!

Hogan has been great for the forward line, although obviously our midfield has done a number on theirs to get plenty of ball inside 50.

 

[BarryAglett]

How awesome is the sound of a quiet Adelaide Oval....

 

[Gigantic]

Hogan has been awesome, makes our forward line a lot more dynamic

 

[Gigantic]

Whitfield nearly 30 disposals, right where he left off

 

[Interstater]

Well played Giants.

 

[Land of the Giants]

Great win, and God we needed the percentage, but let's be honest, Adelaide were pathetic.

 

[Giant Strides]

Happy on both accounts. Enjoy Hately, in all his spudness.

Harsh.

Fair perhaps, but still harsh.

 

[Giant Strides]

Well done, lads, played strong, hard footy all day. Corrected the early goalkicking woes to end up with a reasonable score. Defended outstandingly well to keep them to a low score and help our percentage.

Brilliant to see Whitfield back - just added quality to our D50 transition. Well done to Jesse Hogan, a really solid start, and he'll be great for our forward line structure.

Inside mids were fantastic, bouncing back from their loss to the Dogs' midfield. Smashed the admittedly undermanned Crows' midfield.

 

[Jack Richards]

Idun has done alright so far. Are you all happy with his development?

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

started 2-11 followed by 13-5. had horrible “we’ll kick ourselves out of it“ feelings early, but came home strongly.

gotta be happy with that. just effort, second effort, third effort all day. we play like that we‘ll win more than we lose.

welcome Jesse Hogan

and I’m liking the growth of players like Idun and O’Halloran - even Buckley is starting to look comfortable at the level.

 

[Giant Strides]

Idun has done alright so far. Are you all happy with his development?

Yes, obviously early days and plenty of development to go, but I remarked to my family today that he's been looking very composed for a kid in his ninth game. Very happy with where he's at.

 

[Andre the Giant]

It’s only one game but if Hogan can keep that level he will be even more valuable than Jezza was because he is a selfless player. He does a lot of team first stuff and has a high footy IQ. He fits in very well.

 

[Colonial]

Keefe is best 22, he has finally proven, to me anyway, his consistency and just damn hard work he puts in.

Yep developing really really well.

His enthusiasm is just nuts he always looks so excited.

Ecstatic. Really worked his way into a good defender instead of just relying on his physical attributes.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

can somebody please explain how these ratings work?
Lachie Ash - 22 disposals at 86% efficiency. 7 marks and 3 score involvements from the back and he’s barely rated above the guys who were either subbed out or subbed in.
And behind McAdam who had 7 disposals at 57% efficiency and absolutely butchered his 2 shots on goal.
Makes SFA sense to me.

 

[Simmofreo]

Well played fellas

The confidence that will give hogan is priceless

Have not seen his hands that good for a while with the 2nd effort stuff. Loved it

Easy.

The ratings are done by the same people who umpire the Bulldogs.

 

[Orange crush]

XOH looking strong and competent

I agree, that's bizarre. Certainly not a justifiable assessment of how Ash played today or the comparison with other players as you've noted with some examples.

 

[dlanod]

Riccardi got close to negative ratings for his four goal game against Fremantle. They overweight "negative" plays.

Edit: worst on ground for 4.1.

 

[Sean_09]

Hurts a bit but it's great seeing Hogan up and about. Hopefully he's found his confidence and becomes that forward we all hoped he could of been for us, for you guys.

 

[GWS Goose]

Bring it on .... not expecting miracles from Hogan and Whits but keen to see how they go

Miracles delivered!
Both outstanding!

 

[Orange crush]

Let’s be honest .... I was hoping for miracles
