Game Day Crows v Essendon. Friday Night Footy at AO

[Crow_Magnon]

Lucky to be in it at half-time. Need to change that mix again...Rankine hasn't looked like it...thank God for Dawson late in the qtr. I'd almost throw Tex in the middle, his ball-handling is elite and he nearly always finds someone either by hand or foot. Reckon we tag Merrett...stick Keays on him...he's getting too loose. Gollant to HF for Tex. Who is teaching our guys to kick...some absolutely horrendous entries, mis-kicks...Esp the one from Jones under zero pressure...our shanks are killing us.

Has Brodie Smith even had an effective disposal? I get scared every time he gets the ball, because it often ends up in a direct turnover.

His one wood is metres gained - 95m so far tonight.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Nankervis is actually trying to take the game on at times which is a lot than can be said about a few others having s**t games.

I like that he is attacking it with attitude. He will learn from his mistakes but you can see what confidence can do and he is getting around the ball brilliantly.

Ned mcspud is the best shape shifter of all time

 

[Owen_AFC97]

I don’t know if you guys realise where we would be if it wasn’t for McHenry.
I know you may point to his 4 disposals, his 2 effective disposals, his low pressure rating and generally minimal impact on the stats, BUT have you seen his shape?
He keeps outstanding shape. No one shapes like he does.
He is the shape master.

Hopefully we find another gem in the first round like him again at the end of this year.

 

[cleanhands]

Cant be any worse.

But we want to be better

 

[BACCS]

McHenry is just so bad, this has to be it for him

 

[imagifED]

Fogarty is playing in the wrong era. Think he is a player that needs everything lace out rather than creating for himself.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Can’t play much worse. Problem is they can’t kick much worse for goal.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

51 tackles so far essendon, wonder if they can keep it up

 

[King Of Money]

Can we bench RoB immediately after a ruck tap?

No. His other role out there is to make the rest of us look skilled and fast.

 

[Bob Neil]

Smith is beyond cooked. Just looks panicked whenever he gets the ball and has no burst to get out of trouble.

Nicks has got a hard on for him, not likely.

Ned watch - 49 minutes TOG, 4 possessions (2 of which were free kicks), 2 turnovers, 0 tackles, 0 one-percenters, 6 pressure acts

He's a great bloke from a great family and he ran from Warrnambool to Brisbane one afternoon for fun just before he was drafted.

We spent pick 16 on him, that sunk cost means we'll keep playing him (and Jones).

He keeps his shape

Fogarty is playing in the wrong era. Think he is a player that needs everything lace out rather than creating for himself.

He took 2 contested marks when he was stationary.

 

[King Elvis]

So once again in the pregame interview, Nicks states that we've studied hard, realised our problems, addressed them, will be better today, etc.

Blah blah blah, what complete and utter bullshit.

We clearly have no idea what our gameplan is, or what we're supposed to be doing - we've gone from stupidly defensive, to trying to play aggressive, yet kicking to the pockets and getting hemmed into the boundary again.

We look confused and devoid of confidence and method.

 

[dogs105]

He's been running lines, circles, triangles, even squares out there

Mostly circles.

 

[Faaarrk]

We would almost be better with only 16 players on the field. Take off McHenry and Smith.

 

[Rank]

I'm almost glad Fog didn't kick it. We've been putrid and dont deserve to go into half time on terms

Nah, I hoped Wes hoping He kicked it. We're gonna need all the goals we can get.

Nicks can join him. Not AFL coach material.

We are better in our come backs when the umpires gift us decisions that aren't really there. But remove the decisions, Essendon kick just a fraction more accurate, we are 5 goals behind.

 

[Slime Roy]

Anyone else loving the "Carlton Crows Commentary Crew" tonight?? I've had a gut-full of Campo talking us down (after last week & just in general) so switched to SEN only to be blessed with Bryce Gibbs! Two champs who heralded the beginning of the end & were essentially fired from the club.
For the biggest club in the state... on a stand alone Friday night match, Is this seriously the best we can do.

 

[chazwazza]

Adelaide home game and it’s all about glib Essendon interviews and schmaltz

McHenry is just so bad, this has to be it for him
