Review The bad, the dumb and the bad v Eagles

[twiggy4PM]

One of the problems with Crouch is that if he can't get clearances he doesn't do anything else. 2 tackles from that many CB's shows a player who doesn't want to get his hands dirty. Keays may have ordinary disposal but he always cracks in.

 

[ABAB]

Nope

He was named as a AA defender in 2018 but I recall Lloyd naming him in the midfield with those weekly AA list he used to do and saying what a versatile player Laird was after being an AA defender and now showing he can play in the midfield.

You guys are overreacting. AFL.com.au had Crouch in the best.

Those who do the AFL bests are just clueless journos who don't watch any of the game, and just go by stats.

Good - my fiance wanted to go clothes shopping at 3pm, so I missed most of the 2nd half. Was a better use of my time

Wedding dress?

Really?

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Crouch only had 1 clearance.
Berry had 8.

I just got home from playing footy, went to watch the replay. Is it right I shouldn't bother?

Watch the first quarter. Don't watch any of the SANFL, whatever you do.

 

[Drewie11]

Absolutely nothing positive to take out of that.

You’re kidding right?

 

[SugarShane]

Got my multi - one of the six legs was total game score less than 145.5 and it was 145. Happy days.

Bugger it. You and I both watching that last Kennedy snap at goal with different hopes. 30cm away from a reversal of fortune.

 

[BRL121]

Know he wont get much love, but Hinge was pretty solid today, 18 touches and never squibbed.

190cm and pretty tough, hope his shoulder doesn't pop because i think he is a good pick up for long term.

Yeah, I was worried about the shoulder a couple of times, also Hammill concussion.

Abe Davis to be rookied by us based on the Turner precedent.

S

Fogarty is a high draft pick! Not beating up on him, but he's in his 5th season and still only an ordinary SANFL standard player. What would he have done today against a finals standard opponents defence? Sadly much less.

And it's very sad that we have other high picks who aren't much either :-(

Seemed to go ok against a finals standard defence in Geelong last week…dont get me wrong, is about time, but he IS showing something finally

 

[Sanders]

So?

You assume that's happening forever? They had Kennedy, Darling, Gaff, Schoey, Barrass, Kelly, Hurn, Redden all out there today. Their form will turn positive at some stage.

Round 1, 2023 would be my guess

 

[Play On Advantage]

After quarter time

Adelaide: 8.8 56
West Coast: 8.8 56

There was a CLEAR wind advantage to the southern end. We did exactly what we needed to.

Positives for me were Soligo, Fog and Parnell all looking really good. I think the wet weather really simplified Fogs game and that helped him. Parnell looked class in the conditions picking off targets when he had time.

Hately and Berry growing with the increase mid time too

 

[Drewie11]

Disgraceful that we lost today. Better luck next week guys

 

[adelaidecrows]

My first impressions is we had a lot of players who lifted their energy levels purely because the eagles provided them with an easy kick. And then at times we look sluggish. But the fact Fogerty was able to get in some sprints and defenders couldn't catch him is great indication at just how well the eagles are travelling. Im calling it, if McGovern played, we'd have lost.

 

[Sanders]

No, just basic football knowledge.

Very

 

[Redleg Crow]

Usually we play 3 good quarters and lose it with 1 stinker

Eagles are so bad we had 3 stinkers and won it with 1 good quarter

 

[ABAB]

The 2nd quarter we kicked 4.4 so......

Fogarty is actually quite quick in the first 10m or so.

 

[Sanders]

Just the usual negative posters who don't know we are still in a rebuild so inconsistency is what happens to a young and rebuild team. Even today we were inconsistent but our best has shown to be good enough as shown from the last 4 games we've loss against the top 6 teams.

Basic!

 

[1970crow]

You know this doesn't just continue forever, right?

it would have if they hadn't played us or only about 2 other sides.

 

[1970crow]

IMO we played better in those games than we did today.

easily better. Today was about the worst we've played all year. Just lucky it was west coast at home, any other side and that would have been a loss.
