Selwood doesn't whinge about being tagged, he was asking questions of the Umps because Crowley does sometimes push the boundaries of the rules. I don't know why he gets lauded as some hero, he does as good a job as Aaron Joseph and Joseph gets justifiably rubbished everywhere.
 
AA tagger? Oh God....

Changed his game to get the most out of himself and has found a role in a strong side. How someone could hate a guy who gets a game from pure work ethic is beyond me.

From all reports he doesnt relish his role but does it for the team, at the risk of idiots everywhere hating/booing him

Good on him
 
Give it back to him then.

These whingers like Harvey and Selwood make me laugh. If someone gives you the shits in footy and is doing dirty things, drop a knee on them when the umpire can't see, elbow them on the ground and so on. Then proceed to win the ball and ignore their antics.

He gets in their head and that's why he is so effective.


I seriously hope that Harvey doesn't log on tonight and read this - he'd be absolutely shattered to know that he makes you laugh.

How pretentious, condescending and heartless can you be? Don't you realise that he's just a lowly football player, and can't argue back with the likes of those in the echelon of BigFooty? Shame on you.

And just on Crowley - I think it's amazing how Lyon came in and found a useless hack (as he usually does) and gave him a nice blue collar 'role' in the team. You know, making the plankton sucklings of the side useful in whatever way possible - even if he sacrifices his own game to pinch, pull hair, bite, kick, sledge - whatever. That's now an integral part of "Dockers Footy" - it worked tonight (wait..lol, oh no it didn't), and will work all the way into their losing finals campaign until 'The Grey Cloud Energy-Sapper' Lyon exits via the secret back door like he did after he failed at St. Kilda.
 
Ryan Crowley reminds me a lot of players like Eddie, Mcqalter and Blake that Lyon coached at St Kilda. Managed to get every ounce of talent out of them but just not good enough to take them to the flag. This is Crowley imo.

Not even close.
 
One of the few players that can hold his head high tonight. Kept Selwood to very little influence tonight in an absolute belting and actually winning more ball than him! Not the sort of player that will be considered though - similar that lockdown small defenders won't be considered, the rebounders always get selected (eg. Morris from Richmond has had a great season but won't be considered either).
 
Yeah, let's give a bloke an AA because he's too crap to be a playmaker.

He wouldn't be in the top 200 players in the comp.

If you think the game is all about offensive play he's not a top 200 player.

Someone who can shut down the best mids in the comp better than anyone else week in week out is highly valuable.
 
For the love of god I am sick to death of snivelling whinging Scott brother coached teams! Open your other eye and man up you morons!

He'd come close. Not because he's one of the better players in the league, but because he's one of the best at fulfilling a designated role to shut down the best opposition player. IMO it's a toss of the coin between Crowley and Kane Cornes, and I'd want one of them in my AA team.

He was far superior to your best last week and he whipped Geelong's captain tonight. I guess the only way to beat Crowley is to cry hard.
 
Geez he is becoming one of the most talked about players in the competition. Not a bad effort for a tagger.

He really is one of the best I've seen in terms of toeing the line. You need to go over the line occasionally to do that job well and he is bloody good at flying under the radar when he does it. Unlike Steve Baker for example who just couldn't put the brakes on sometimes.

Has the innocent "what? Me?" look at the umps well honed too. Every teacher knows that look.

itt Fremantle supporters say Crowlie should be AA. Everyone else sighs :(
Actually, "everyone else" isn't saying he should be AA at all, merely debating his worth to Fremantle, which appears to be about 50-50 at this point including more than a few non-Freo supporters. Most of them managed to spell his name right, as well.
 
Harvey and Selwood are pre-occupied with winning the ball. Crowley averaging a massive 11 possessions this year, so he has plenty of time to focus on pinching, hoding off the ball, etc.

Why are you ok with acts outside the rules but not with players pointing out acts outside the rules?

Harvey was only focused on giving sly shots on Crowley last week. Thats why he got pantsed so badly. Maybe if he grew a pair.....

Geelong beat us by a kick.

If they had kicked straight they would have beat Freo by 15 goals.

It's a pity you need to rely on b-graders like Crowley instead of blokes who can win you the big matches.
 
I don't understand why people think there shouldn't be a tagger/defensive mid in the AA team. Every team has a tagger right? If they are so unimportant, why does every team have one?
