Review Good bad ugly vs Port Adelaide R8 2024

[Firewalker]

Yeah but thought Fog was pretty damaging all game to be honest and I didn't feel Ratogulea was particularly damaging the other way.

One of the Crows main forwards had one shot on goal in 3 quarters, I think Port and Ratugolea would take that.

 

[FR0GGY]

If he had to put Smith in he should have taken Cook out and moved Cirtin forward.

Could have taken either himmelberg or Rob off.

Pretty stupid from Port to play Rozee

To his credit Kenny said it was a mistake to play him and it was his (Kenny’s) decision

"Ken's standing there with his hands in his pockets, just staring into thin air."

He's made his fortune. Comfortable.

 

[MrBarry]

Back to the op shops to see if they can find some more missing pieces.

David King pointed out they havent't really recruited quality from other teams - hard to argue with that. Our incoming trades have been much higher calibre. Take a Keane vs Asava for instance, no comparison.

Ugly - Nicks saying Smith came on and had an impact.

What with his 2 kick outs and nothing else?

I nearly sprayed my drink everywhere when he said that.

 

[Firewalker]

"Ken's standing there with his hands in his pockets, just staring into thin air."

Isn’t that just the ‘master’ coaching technique he’s adopted since they started 0-5 in 2022?

 

[Golumless]

This is half true. He was kept out by Doedee.

But he shouldn’t have been. Worrell looked really good in 2022 and should have been playing early in 2023.

I mean, it's not half true - it's the complete and utter truth in this case. There was no 'Nicks didn't trust Worrell', no 'needs to work on his game', none of that nonsense. Just a case of a lad who found himself in a bad list situation, which is always a risk with drafting a kid. As much as you can say 'he shouldn't have been', there aren't infinite spots on the football field and right now, sticking to a third tall seems to have been the right call.

Worrell deserves a lot of credit. The wheel turned, he got his lucky break and ended Doedee career here. Exactly what you want from a prospect stuck in that situation.

Is Soligo becoming an A grade midfielder?

Yes

24.6 touches, 4.7 tackles, 4.1 I50s, 5.1 clearances and 4.9 score involvements per game in non-sub games. And it’s his 3rd year

 

[WetCrow1991]

JHF might be a great player, but I am glad he didn't want to come here. Don't need kids that think convicted wifebashers are top blokes, so much so they take their name.

 

[Harris1991]

He was better than solid

Not a fan but played okay.

If you make a mistake which everyone on the dog foresaw happening, you don’t get credit for owning the mistake

 

[George Kramer]

Yep he sure did.

"We had a 250 gamer sitting on the bench, so the plan coming in was to sub a defender."

"We call our sub the impact player, we want them to impact the game. And I thought Brodie Smith came on and impacted and brought some experience."

We need a face palm reaction, cmon!

 

[arsene wenger1]

I was almost certain cook would have been the one to get subbed. Was barely cited. Although I am glad they are sticking with him atm

Would be interesting to see how many goals FOg was involved in though

4 score Involvements

 

[kirky]

Most of the team was good, even our weaker players had some good moments.

Defence was terrific, Worrell keeps building and is having an elite season, one of Soligo's best games, Fogarty and Walker were good.

On the downside, thought we really lacked fluency in the second half. But we still took our chances and overall dominated most of the game outside of late in the first term and early in the last.

Also... two tricky games coming up, but if we can split those and get to round 10 at 4-6, season is not quite done.

We have then West Coast (H), Hawks (A), Richmond (H) and Sydney (H) - need to win one of Brisbane and Collingwood.

One week at a time as the saying goes but the season ain’t dead.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

McHenry was goo…..

He was goo ……

He was goo…….

He was good. s**t that was hard.

He was good in the first quarter and then proceeded to fumble for the rest of the game.

Yeah, it isn't hard to figure out, have a think.
