Game Day Crows v Dees - Gather Round for a Crows Win

[cleanhands]

Rachelle still no CBA?

 

[CroCop]

We just don’t run in waves from defence , no overlap run or what they call in soccer terms no one , two punch. We need to have running players with speed to play that way which we don’t have enough off .

 

[WetCrow1991]

So ******* sick of Laird.

Investing in developing the midfield is not what the rebuild was about. Midfield is stacked, just ask them.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Rachelle still no CBA?

Bizarre... just bizarre.

 

[cleanhands]

Bizarre... just bizarre.

It’s almost like they are teaching him a lesson for speaking out wanting time in there

 

[Sanders]

2020 had an excuse. The list was horrific

Disagree

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Yeah, you get that feeling.

 

[GameofSloanes]

That’s a structural problem, I don’t remember our forward line all just moving to the same area last year.

We had a different forward coach last year

 

[cmndstab]

It is not excusing some just plain bad kicking as well. There is a lot wrong right now and it’s not a quick fix.

Yes, the kicking inside 50 has been bad. But let's be honest - the likes of Michalanney and Rachele are not poor kicks. The problem is created because 90% of the time we go inside 50 there is nothing whatsoever on offer. And all of those intercept marks and wasted opportunities start to create pressure to nail the next one.

Every other side in the competition is able to find a bunch of opportunities to hit up a player in motion in their forward line. Melbourne did it repeatedly tonight. Simple, easy kicks to advantage. That option isn't going to be there every time, but other clubs seem to be able to manufacture several of them per quarter.

Whereas it feels like we've barely had a handful of them all year.


Tonight, Laird was fortunate to receive the ball at one stage, and looked up to see Walker streaming towards him, and hit a simple 15m pass to advantage. How easy is that - even a garbage kick like Laird can nail it! If we could just create those opportunities more often throughout the game, we might actually manage to kick some goals.

 

[crowker]

(Benny Hill Music) Burns maybe a touch out of his depth , bugger all structure .VB’s an imposter -and what’s happened to the “Burgess fitness edge “ . Some better signs tonight , though by and large, it’s as if the whole team’s lost confidence in themselves.?? The dodgy decision with Rachele completely took the wind out of our sails , (and put a gail in Melb’s). Our issues are between the ears and surely that falls on the coach and assistants.

2020 had an excuse. The list was horrific plus covid. 1996 had a shocking coach and selfish players controlling the club.

If you look at it, the team wasn’t hugely different to what put out last year.

 

[Crowstar]

If you look at it, the team wasn’t hugely different to what put out last year.

Quite a few games in experience though.

 

[ams4crows]

Laird was weak as piss in the contest multiple times, playing like he's already been paid so couldn't give a stuff as he's never losing his spot.

Keays skills seem to have fallen even further in the hole almost at McHenry levels now.


We just don't move the ball quick enough and have zero run from defence. We are such an easy team to defend against only need a well drilled zone.

 

[maxlilly]

Should be playing his 50th game or so

He's not rated only by a few poor judges on here and unfortunately by our coaches

Can you imagine the player he would be if he had the Murphy's games and the coaches confidence.
He is still a classy forward though

Keays hasn’t changed he got away with it when we are playing better,

 

[maxlilly]

cook not going for goal has Nicks all over it.

The same instruction that Pedlar got

 

[maxlilly]

We've still got Ned and Smith playing.

And both of Crouch and Laird in the same midfield.

Biggest spud sits in the coaches box.

It's the Trifecta
Even if we fixed the first two, we would be a lot better footy team

 

[MsTopG]

Nicks doing a good job of making the next coach look even better than hopefully they are.

 

[AmericanCrow]

It might have even reached the US?

Another L certainly reached our shores indeed

Haha how good - this was definitely me at the time

******* baaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllll umpire!

So why the drop in skills? This is what I’m not getting. Last year it felt like we were improving. This year we have gone backwards so badly.

What’s happened, and whatever they’ve done, can’t they reverse it and go back to last years game plan?

How do you go from the most prolific scorers one year, to struggling to kick goals the next?

That mark that Ned took just outside 50 then fell over and still had time to handball to Dawson running by.

...only to ice 17 seconds off the clock, allow Melbourne to send about 8 men back... bomb it high... and turn it over.
