Dees vs Crows Game Thread

thats it Newton is officially the worst player in the AFL

[Junior 46]

Newton cannot handle the pressure of top level football. Wona, Robbo, Watts etc. etc. as soon as one of those are available for selection Juice needs to be dropped. His effort is OK, he's just not up to it.

We just need to stop bombing the ball long and start playing smart patient football - we are getting plenty of the contested ball. Dees need to lift in the last QTR especially for Bartram.

[The Lobster Effect 888]

Anyone know our lowest ever score?

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Did we just win a quarter? This might be the weirdest game I've listened to...

Thomas said at one point that "Melbourne won't know this, but they have Adelaide if they want 'em."

The umpires have been crucifying us, particularly in our forward line.

On one hand I feel for the demons, as they have tried hard, gotten first to the ball, worked hard. It's just our forwards may as well not be playing. I've never heard a forward line with so little likelihood of scoring chances.

And then when we get a shot or two, we can't kick them from the square... more than once!

I'm not sure whether or not to be completely [censored] off... I might leave it to those who were at the game. Jaded and others, over to you.

The thing is, IF, and it's a HUGE if, we could possibly kick the first two goals inside the first 10 minutes of the last quarter we are only 2 goals down!! Wishful thinking after only kicking one goal for the match but we certainly aren't out of the game. But you're right, our forwards haven't had a sniff today, although I guess the weather hasn't helped. It's not like the Crows have kicked 12 goals themselves so it's not just us.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

And they kick the first goal of the last quarter. Game over.

Sad to say, I think the same can be said of Miller. Big on effort, sadly lacking in execution.

Back on the bottom.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,031]

Dunn kicks his second!

[RalphiusMaximus 6,031]

Goal to Brock.

[tez 6]

good on you

[DemonDan... 77]

dont anybody even think about it!

[tez 6]

MAAAAACCCCCCAAAAAA

[RalphiusMaximus 6,031]

Goal to Junior. 15 point margin.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Haha, 15 points in it! Stuff you Melbourne, stop getting our hopes up!

[RalphiusMaximus 6,031]

Haha, 15 points in it! Stuff you Melbourne, stop getting our hopes up!

Sounds like Adelaide is taking it seriously now.

[DemonDan... 77]

Haha, 15 points in it! Stuff you Melbourne, stop getting our hopes up!

exactly.. mongrels

[tez 6]

you are an idiot

[TheOx05 1]

The frustrating part about todays game was that we had opportunities but just don't have the polish yet. It will just take time.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

I honestly don't know what to make of this loss. Kicking 4 goals is far from good, although the Crows kicked only 7 and we lost by 17 points. Compare that to last years game where we lost by over 10 goals and it seems we have improved... yet we haven't really.

Backline stood up well, midfield had a crack and our forward line was terrible. Bate, Newton and Miller all had under 10 touches each and neither of them kicked a goal. That just can't happen.

[H_T 3,043]

good on you
