Game Day Showdown - yay?

[FR0GGY]

Then we are in for another 10 years of pain, because we've replaced a team full of mentally weak players with another team of mentally weak players.

They have no excuse

It’s the that similar to saying that a person that takes offense to a racial remark is mentally week.
How can this weeks events not affect the playing group?

 

[FR0GGY]

I think this as well.

The flipside being the players are 100% behind the actions taken by the club, ie backing a whistle-blower for abhorrent behaviour and come out motivated seeing this.

But either way it will affect them.
I’m not sure how anyone could argue otherwise.

 

[Faaarrk]

Im looking forward to the game.....

Looking forward to Butts on Dixon, and how our forward line functions with RT, Fog, Easy and Cook

Yeah, I'd like to see tt and fog swap for a bit as well.
Tt has the ability to be an outstanding chf

Will be interesting to see how the Port indigenous players react to the events of the week. Would there be any added angst towards the Crows.

No it's not similar in anyway. It's making excuses in advance.

No you’re saying the weeks events can’t affect them unless they are mentally weak.

It's not like it's any one else's fault at the Crows besides Walker's. If anything the Crows bent over backwards to punish him, by going to the AFL, instead of keeping it in-house.

Taking offence to a racist remark has nothing to do with being professionally prepared for a game of footy.

So a players child dies, they should just soldier on a fulfill their contractual obligation?
Things will affect players, I’m not sure how you can’t understand that.

Showdown off to a promising start. Dwayne won't be commentating!

That's CRAZY GOOD!!

Got a feeling this will be our worst game since the 2017 GF.


Port will raise the bat like Greg Blewett on a flat Adelaide oval.

Forget Greg Blewett, they will be going full David Warner after his triple ton against Pakistan here a couple of years ago.

Thats correct so the reaction might positive. It doesn't have to be a negative/aggressive response so it will be interesting to see.

I'm not saying it won't effect players, but it shouldn't effect their performance on match day.

Or are we cool with the team getting flogged when anything negative happens?

But they’re humans, things like this will have an effect.
players can have off days when they are mentally in the right headspace.
This is not the run of the mill negative thing that happens weekly in a footy club.
It hasn’t happened in 10 years and even then it wasn’t a revered player in the club.

No doubt, but we see professionals in many different industries and sports putting these things behind them and perform.

Perhaps calling them mentally weak is harsh, but it says a lot if the teams response this week is to put out an insipid performance and get flogged.

You may see it as justifiable. I don't.

 

[flashcrow]

We will lose this game by heaps. To be honest, I don't care.... Just please, please Footy Gods, don't let the margin be 119. That would be the end.

Like I said, anything but 119. Although I would prefer not to be higher than that

 

[CrowinNT]

Cook’s debut yay

 

[mattymac]

Nothing could be worse than that insipid display against Melbourne in Alice Springs when Lynch was captain

Forget Blewett and Warner, they’ve got Dixon, Orazio, and Motlop ⛷

 

[GrommoT]

No, reckon Butts will have his measure.

But their forward line looks more dangerous.

Their backline tends to struggle with tall forwards, so Thilthorpe & Himmelberg could present a danger, but probably won't get enough supply.

Looking forward to Cook debut & younger guys, but can't see this one being close. Hope I'm wrong & we take up the fight for 4 quarters, not just a half.

Butts will smother Dix.



Looking forward to a night of Butts & Dix jokes.

Okay. Decision time.
