Review Semi final vs Hawthorn - Ugly, Historically Embarrassing and Pathetic

[jamesclean]

Let’s gooooooooo

 

[Southerntakeover]

Lol. Culture.

 

[MarcusP2]

Ugly: first 5 minutes

 

[Scorpus]

Most embarrassing finals effort by anyone in the history of the competition.

Finish first and then play like a wooden spoon team

You will not find a worse effort. You can look but there isn't one. This is it. And it will never be beaten as the worst

Sack Nicks

 

[pjcrows]

These sorts of results stem from coaches and leadership. Complete failure.

And fundamentally, you can't win finals without a decent hard midfield, which we haven't properly addressed for over a decade, and still won't do.

 

[GreyCrow]

Lazy uncompetitive chokers

 

[GreyCrow]

Lazy arrogant coaches

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Even Neil Craig and Ken Hinkley waited until the prelim to choke.

Glad we have Reilly O'brien

for 3 more years, he is ****ing useless

 

[latinoheat]

I take solace from the fact you learn more from a loss than a win. So based on last 2 weeks we should be masters by now

 

[Scorpus]

I'm not sure we will make finals next year

 

[latinoheat]

Go out and get some decent mids and some mongrel

 

[Geoffa32]

Not the reason we lost.

But, shows the mindset of our coaches thinking an underdone Rachele can slot in and do something.

Like Michalanney last week.

And how many people argued with me to.play and undergone Rankine if we made the GF.



Don't play underdone players in a Final.



Not why we lost, but is part of the bigger issue, not realising Finals are faster, harder and more intense.
Our club forgot about that.

Glad we have Reilly O'brien for 3 more years, he is ****ing useless

And people put their noses up at Draper, JFC, you'd think we had peak Polly Farmer

 

[SugarShane]

Tex is a champion of the club. We owe him so much. But we will not win a final with 2025 Tex in our side. Bookmark it.

From June 13. Obvious all year that he would be a liability come finals. "But he's still kicking a goal or 2 a week!!!"

Uncompetitive at best the past 2 weeks. 5 momentum sapping misses at goal. Thanks for your service but it's time to go.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I'm not sure we will make finals next year

Fair call really. We have a record of missing finals 100% of the time after re-signing Nicks.

 

[spenze]

Go out and get some decent mids and some mongrel

Get a decent ruckman, he doesn't tap anywhere near our players, it is ****ing ridiculous

 

[Scorpus]

All started in the game against West Coast.

I thought that was the worst the Adelaide Crows have ever played considering the context of the match

And that form carried right into finals

We didn't show up against a 1 win West Coast and we didn't show up in either of our two finals

 

[latinoheat]

Players that should be depth next year;
Taylor
Keyes
Berry
Hinge
Peatling
Cumming

We could probably carry one or 2 but not half the side

 

[Minor Threat]

Pathetic, rubbish club.
Get lost Nicks

 

[morris086]

Our finals gameplan:

 

[nummy217]

Nicks knowing he'll get resigned for another 3 years during the off season

 

[Scorpus]

Nicks knowing he'll get resigned for another 3 years during the off season

Re-signing Nicks could finish off the club for good
