Review Showdown 49 - Rd 8, 2021

[P4Life]

Na.

5-3 - Boak
5-2 - Clurey
3-2 - Laird
4 - Jonas
4 - DBJ
1 - Marshall
1 - Amon

Personally I'm surprised that Laird got votes ahead of Seedsman. Thought Seedsman was easily their most damaging player.

Working out which Coach votes for who, can cause your head to explode some weeks.
Personally I wouldnt be one bit surprised if Nicks gave Laird 5.
I often get the feeling he is a bit salty with PAFC.

I don't get the downplaying of Boak's game, thought he was fantastic when the game was hot and did great work on the inside and outside. Didn't get a kick in the last quarter but who cares.

 

[Alberton Proud]

I don't think anyone's downplaying Boak's game at all

It's just that I, and others, believe a number of other players had a bigger influence on the result

 

[Macca19]

Lycett and Clurey were the best two on the ground. Boak probably 3rd.

 

[OneGreatClub]

It didn’t feel that way at times

 

[backtozero]

It must be taking 1-2quarters to warm up.

Should be playing thumb war in the rooms pre match.

 

[backtozero]

It didn’t feel that way at times

Yeah we weren't clean at all.

Considering the heat that was in this game (Adelaide made it their mission to turn it into a contested scrap) I thought our skills with a slippery ball were, by and large, good.

News filtering through that Ken told the players before the game, "Make sure you win by the square root of Taylor Walker's IQ."

Rohan says he has this song stuck in his head since he previewed our showdown

That certainly gets a run at my place on Showdown days

I was sitting at the ground in the 3rd quarter thinking geez Boak has been quiet. Appears the tag was working on him. Then I saw the stats and was blown away he was leading us. Thought he was OK, nothing more. Clurey easily our standout best. Lycett, Jonas and DBJ good and If Fantasia didn't blow a million opportunities he also could've been close.

It's not mathematically possible for Laird to have got a 5.

 

[Duck Farmer]

The Johnny's were a top band. By and large RoCo has pretty good taste.

Not bad, but imo North 2 Alaskans were Spencer Jones' best band.

The Johnny's were a top band. By and large RoCo has pretty good taste.

Probably heavily influenced by his older brother Steve or the bands he was involved with. Steve was Paul Kelly's lead guitarist for almost decade from his last solo album, thru the Coloured Girls and then the Messengers phase of Kelly's career until Steve passed away from complications after he had an operation in early 1995. Steve's bio.

This is the wrong thread for this discussion but i loved The Johnny's. Great exponents of what we used to call Cow Punk. Buzzsaw Baby ftw.

 

[Crocodile Dumbdee]

Watching the replay again and little short man syndrome Jimmy Rowe is everything I hate about the Crows and sanfl. Mark my words those two toxic campaigners are plotting our downfall as we speak.

Both plodders. Both getting their nappys changed yet again by Port Adelaide.

We are Port Adelaide.

Agree. I always get the feeling Nicks is salty. Match made in heaven.

 

[finbarr]

Can't say i even noticed Laird was out there. Putting him ahead of DBJ wtf?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Last 30 seconds of the 7 footy segment on the news tonight, Cornes said Charlie's one handed pick up off the ground was one of few highlights of the game then asks - who does that? Then he wanks on about the jumper yadda yadda - it looked good on Russell Ebert it doesn't look good on Charlie Dixon.

Wrong Graham, it looks good on them both and both could pluck the ball off the ground one handed.

Moving images to go with my screen shots on the last page.

m8 you might want to look up what 'square root' means

Trying to get my head around this

Best case scenario makes it a 3 point victory! Even then I dont think Tex is that smart!

No Houston in the two and a half quarters he played, is interesting and probably reflects that he was playing sore.
