Game Day SANFL Crows vs Norwood

[CroCop]

McAsey looks much more likely than Gollant.

Whatever . We ain’t winning this game with Pedlar out .

 

[Golumless]

And that's why Billy can't make it as a defender.

Just can't defend 1v1

If it was the 80-00s, sure. Considering that tall intercepting defender has become one of the most important positions in football at the moment, he certainly has a pathway to making it at Collingwood as a defender.

Not that it is worthwhile for Adelaide to pursue that direction with Worrell and Doedee.

Great tackle there from Cook.

Our severe lack of quality KPD is on display here. Frampton just gets outmarked every contest and Borlase doesn't have it.

We really needed to keep going with McAsey as a KPD, it's a massive hole in our list and far easier to make it as a KPD then a KPF.

Can see why Newchurch has not played an AFL game.

Has no body strength.

Newchurch equivalent to playing one short.

Would Heard from Norwood be a good rookie option? We need the depth and it would be better to pick one who's more ready than a new draftee. Might be a tad short at 190cm though.

 

[Golumless]

Adelaide really needs the half time siren at the moment.

 

[LeftyLuke]

Htb lol. What a joke.

Can't see him making it. Just stands back and watches it happen in front of him.

What does he offer that Borlase doesn't?

I do love a holding the ball call when the team that wins the free has possession of it

Doesnt help you find the footy

Sholl is petrified of contact to the point he will turn the ball over rather than try and take the tackler on.

Would be better off just using Borlase as that first drop depth option.

That said, it's not something I'd really bother worrying about this off-season. Michaelany can replace Frampton/Worrell as an intercepting def in the SANFL side and a top-up could do a job as a 4th string KPD (or McAsey if he doesn't fire a shot next year).

McAsey isn’t SANFL standard. Stop kicking it to him.

Being a small forward doesn't help with that either.

11 disposals a game is ok for the position.

 

[adelaidecrows]

I am all for penalising players who drag it in and look to hold the ball for a bounce. But the way its umpired is horrible. You are literally rewarding players with a free kick for doing exactly what the rule was designed to prevent. Players holding the ball in the contest under a player should under no circumstances be rewarded and frankly, it should be holding the ball against them. What the AFL and leagues who adopt the rule dont seem to realise is if you penalise the incoming players who clearly are holding it in it will stop automatically and the ball will jar free out of those contests. The way its umpired is simply pathetic. Thats why it keeps happening.

 

[Runnin Blue]

I tuned in late. Did Pedlar get injured during the game or was he a late out?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

What does he offer that Borlase doesn't?

Probably nothing. Is there any KPD worth picking up from other state leagues that would be ready to play if needed if Butts went down?

 

[LeftyLuke]

Is Pedlar injured? We are missing him up forward.

Could have sworn I saw him line up on the wing there for a while and during the season?
