[Jerome]

I guess after 4 weeks of good footy we were due for a bad one.

That was some of the dumbest, uncommitted, uninspired footy we have played for ages. Hardly a decent quarter of good footy from AFC. Skills shocking and some match ups were a joke.

Well done to the Saints, they were sharp and desperate.

I hope the likes of Hentschel, Rutten and Bock play good footy this weekend as we may need some talls next week up forward and down back. We still lack some strength down back IMO.

I don't think Burton will get in so it may leave the door open for Burns, Doughty or Massie.

Shocking game Crows, but its only early days yet.

I'd like to abstain from giving a vote here, Mattner got towelled up in defence on Milne, Reilly was wasteful in front of goal.

i dont know about that (i cant really remember some of the games we played in our debut year). But it was probably the worst game ive seen Adelaide play in about 8 months. We just looked lathargic all day. Not the crows side im used to seeing.

 

[Stiffy_18]

Player of the Year

5. McLeod (just because he was brilliant in 2nd half)
4. Goodwin (one of few with a 4 quarter effort)
3. Torney (tried hard all day and was consistenr over 4 quarters)
2. Bickley (good 4 quarter effort from Bicks did all the hard stuff, he was only 1 of very few)
1. Edwards (good 2nd half)

Best Team Man

3. Biglands
2. Bickley
1. Clarke

Rookie of the Year

None really stood out. Do we have to give votes for this one??????

Overall a very disappointing effort

 

[sapaul]

I put that effort today on a par with the Bernie Quinlan coached Fitzroy debacle of 1995.

Jerome are you giving Bickley 4 votes? Also, who was your best team man - Edwards or McLeod?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Need to collect my thoughts, but a disappointing effort by our players. St Kilda were far more desperate & would have been unlucky if we had edged in front. Goody whilst getting plenty of the ball, doesn't look 100% & Roo is lacking match practice. This meant we missed Bode more than normal & Stinger was wasted on Milne. Matchups were poor & was disappointed by a lack of moves early. How we respond to this poor performance will give an indication of the character of the players.

Would have to be a toss up between Reilly and Mattner- wasnt too impressed with Reilly's two misses on goal though. Mattner tried hard but just might need a couple of games in the sanfl.

He kicked 3 behinds (2 posters) which is unusual for a player of his kicking skills. I tought he rushed a couple

Dismal effort that.
Full credit to the Saints and to thier coach.

Questions

How many taps did Clarke hit down the throat of a saint in the middle?

Why cant Andrew McLeod kick left foot?

Is Gallagher over rated?

I couldn't work it out!! Clarke was belting it straight down the Saints' throats with not an ounce of thought put into it - unlike his normal game.

Macca doesn't use the left a lot because he normally gets around them TJ. Kicked a nice left foot goal in the last quarter.

Gallagher is over rated on today's game IMO. Very poor substitute for Bode, who goes in where angels fear to tread.

Questions of my own:

Why would you take your hardest working 6'2' on-baller out of the mid-field and put him on an elusive little pigmy in our back pocket??? Result - can't win the center bounces and key player gets carved up by pigmy.

Why wouldn't our on-baller referred to above tagged Riewoldt when he started in the center bounces and played wing??

Why would you not have changed forward structure to Burton and Riciutto about a quarter earlier than they were. Carey and Perrie were being thrashed (disgraceful disposal didn't help)??

Player of the Year

5. McLeod - Class despite everything. Doesn't help when your ruckman is giving the opposition perfect service all day.
4. Hart - Looked assured and always tried to link and create, god knows what would've happened to us without him down there.
3. Torney - Impressive again... forward, midfield or down back. Mr. Versatility.
2. Goodwin - Did OK... Need to see more of those raking left-foot running goals from 50.
1. Edwards - Tried hard. Kicked a couple of good goals.

Just a note -

HITOUTS: Adelaide 36; St Kilda 14.

A lot of questions need to be asked.

every other player to hang their heads in shame for not putting the same effort in as Big Wetlands - not 1 but 2 100 metre chases in the last quarter for tackles. Did anyone else even shepherd once all day?

I wondered that myself... Clarke always seemed to get his hand to the ball first but almost everytime he hit it down directly to a Saints player
