AFL Toast RND 6: Win Against The Crows

[Dave]

So it’s both? Quantum free kicks now

Schroedingers Free

 

[Duckworth]

So it’s both? Quantum free kicks now

It looks to me like Draper was already on the ground, and the ball ricocheted underneath him. I interpret the AFL as saying it was line ball and accepting of the umpire's decision (either way it was paid)

 

[astrowizzle]

LOL let’s look at the last incident, not all the goals gifted to crows, those HTB goals the crows got need a please explain from the umpiring department

This is what dioes me it happens 100 times and no one gets pingreped. Call all of them or call no-one of them

There are core and non core free kicks. This was a non core one.

To be fair to Crows fans, I just read first 2 pages of their autopsy thread and most were saying they didnt deserve to win and criticising Nicks and their players rather than referring to the umpiring right at the end. And one fan who said despite that decision at the end, they had the better of the umpiring over the night. Expected much more vitriol.

the campaigners blaming the umpires after they couldn’t seal it made me laugh the most

 

[jannissary]

had it on at the gym, really noticed the efforts from heppell all night, can’t be understated imo, i also think that the more midfield minutes that calders gets, the better off we’ll be

 

[CBombers17]

Loving the effort. Importantly the armwrestle won by the younger players with strong support from some of the new additions.

Bring that on Thursday and we can all be proud win loose or draw.

 

[Cold Sober]

If Crows had spent less time playing for free kicks they may have got a couple of points closer.

 

[astrowizzle]

Just for the record, the AFL has come out & said it should have been a free.

Providing it's against Essendon

 

[Kong]

Jon Ralph saying jones could make way for wright. Guy has no clue

I watched the game with sound on for the first time in literally years.

I heard James Brayshaw say that Langford has spent most of his career in defence.

I'll go back to no sound next week, thanks.

did you hear the McGrath free kick call as Merret took it ?

 

[jannissary]

also; how good was our forward pressure early, if only we’d have been able to convert, we’d have done well.

against an arguably worse opposition we really covered a lot of our weaknesses last night

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Another solid win but I'm not getting carried away. We are finding ways to win with lots of holes so its a good sign.

McKay has made the backline much more solid.

Gresham has added to the forward line and is dangerous alongside Stringer and Langford. When Wright comes back it may be a better mix but we need that electric small forward to really set us up as a genuine finals side.

Improvement from a few others has enabled us to get some wins so this weeks game will be good test to see where we are at.

 

[Squeaky]

Back when we had the polished ball movement, we had no grunt or substance.
Now that we are working on the grunt and substance and making some steps forward, we have lost the polished ball movement. Some of the ball use was disgusting for this level. Iron that out a smidge and we win comfortably last night.
But I think Brad is working on the correct areas.
More strength to his arm

 

[Rick Ross]

It was dumb & highly risky. I think we'd all be very happy if he never does anything like it ever again.

I think the hamster inside the wheel inside Draper’s head may have been on nangs.

Got to keep Davey in to keep his progression moving.

Re: above post.
He has to use his God given speed.
Like that late run down on the far side flank last night.

 

[Mercurial89]

The umpires called McGrath that wasn't on the commentator.

apologies

 

[Agronomus]

I think I’d trust a chimp with a machine gun more than Draper at this point

What have you got against the chimp?

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Draper won't be dropped, he was not that bad, and I reckon he could be handy in the wet weather predicted for Thursday.

 

[bommer16]

a great win in that away jumper

 

[I Remember Bluey]

Think we can lock in Crows v Ess to open Gather round next year.

Hope not. Same team shouldn't have one of the Adelaide teams two years in a row.

I think that has been declared hasn't it. Wouldn't be like the AFL to change their mind...
