Review What a win! Crows down Eagles in thriller

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Well I didn't see that one coming

Bit of life in the old dogs yet

And my whipping boy D Mac threading the winner from the boundary... wowsers!

Full house vs Collingwood. Shades of the finish to the 1993 season

And then you woke up and it was a dream.

Spoiler alert. I need the delayed telecast thread

The Good:

Dmac - he's back! David Mackay kicking 8 goals - no one could have predicted that.

Douglas - An AFL record 18 smothers (although 17 were his own kicks)

Atkins steamrolling Hurn

Laird 43 possessions ( 2 effective)

The Good:

Dmac - he's back! David Mackay kicking 8 goals - no one could have predicted that.

It wasn't his first 7 goals or the winner from the boundary that impressed me, it was his willingness to get in and under. 12 tackles in one half of football earns you another 5 year contract in my book, D-Mac.

 

[jackster83]

All played well, except Fogarty. Must drop him for Jenkins next week.

Selectors vindicated.

Listen to 5AA Monday afternoon - there's going to be an announcement..

 

[Tex200]

Matt Crouch’s defensive pressure on Shuey was outstanding

 

[Moonwatcher]

The Crows are a brilliant organisation with lots of well thought out, practical gameplans. They are ensuring the financial security and onfield success of the club for years to come. Oh yes, and Taylor Walker's personal hygiene is above reproach.

 

[Scorpus]

Wow! David Mackay had more than 30 disposals for the first time in his 218 game career!

It's time to give him the no 23 jumper now.

 

[ep2018]

Way too good for us. Good luck for the rest of the season.

My concern is that we played too well. No more flying under the radar now.

McFly? That you Marty?

We haven't decided who will play in the GF yet so keep your chin up.

Btw develop your own football manager the Birdman is not going anywhere.

 

[rezagun]

We out worked west coasts midfield.
We moved the ball quickly from our defensive half with great pack marking inside 50.
How about that 50m chase down from matt crouch on liam ryan. What a moment.
Otten, Mackay, Douglas, Jacobs bog.
Pyke the mastermind. Camporeale would have other teams lining up for his services.
Top 4 here we come!

 

[Mike Smyth]

My concern is that we played too well. No more flying under the radar now.

Let's be bold. Let's be arrogant. Let's be really, really scary. Time to dust off the power stance.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Those half time moves were a stroke of genius. Well done Don.

Great see us kick to our talls with Betts and Murphy crumbing

Kelly, Hartigan and Talia just moved the ball on so quickly with such precision. And always forward

 

[Thetrader15]

Only lost by 83 points...that's a win in my language

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Legendary thread status

 

[Thetrader15]

Highlights:

That run down the wing by DMac, the way he evaded the Gaff and Shuey tackles, sprinted past Cripps to kick his 4th. Wow!

Otten, flying high in defence over Darling, playing on quickly to lace out Atkins on the wing 60m away

Douglas with 40 touches and 3 goals. Enogh said. BOG

Sauce - 7 tackles, 45 hit outs and 23 touches. I didn't see that coming

Hartigan - a surprise move to put him on JJK - and kept him goaless. Master stroke by Pyke

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Who knew Hartigan was Ellen mark 2

Wrong thread!


Now, back to topic... book the flights!

 

[1990crow]

That hanger by Murphy over McGovern.. wow.
And Tex’s contested marking was a feature.
Thought Brad Crouch ran defensively well all night.
Gibbs effort too top notch.
Hartigan’s kicking outstanding.
Atkins made Dusty’s fend offs look weak that’s how effective they were.
Douglas clean below his knees.
Lairds panic kicks seem to always go to our player tonight, so keep it up!
Only saw DMac get rag dolled 3-4 times

 

[morris086]

Ottens run down tackle on Ryan was amazing in the second, but to then do it again to Rioli in the third...sign this man up for three more years NOW!
