Adelaide v Melbourne POST MATCH DISCUSSION - ROUND 3

[Guest]

Loved Bernie's mongrel today and the fact that he just isn't an ex Crow looking to get out a few more years at another club while pining for his old one. As he said in the interview 'I'm a Melbourne player now and if they boo me here, who cares?'

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Just watching North vs port and wow Goldstein is exactly what a ruckman should be. His follow up tackles and lots of possessions etc.. Unfortunantly jamar is the best tap ruckman we have and the others don't get enough of it around the ground to justify their inclusion .

We had one of those types of ruckman, but Neeld got rid of him...

[Moonshadow 17,676]

hey i saw Vince punch someone in the face during the brawl. I hope he doesn't miss....

Open hand, was going to push him on the chest, or grab his jumper on the front. His hand appeared goalie up and clip his chin. Nothing in it.

Jackie boy unfortunately is not a footballer

he's got a brain, but unfortunately he seems satisfied with just having that one dimension, when in reality its a full contact 360 degree sport which requires vision, courage & passion to perform under physical pressure, and as '86' says, "Loving It".

better he goes, & tries again elsewhere.

Red if you think Hogan's set shot action is ok and can be addressed later you should be following Hawthorn. They can wait, we need goals, now.

I watched Hogan all through his year at Casey he rarely missed from set shots with that action. Just because he missed a goal and has a weird action the immediate response from people is to change his action.

Check out the Crows coach having a cry about Bernie Vince destroying Dangerflied

Have a sook you [censored

I listened to the interview. I heard little resemblance between Walsh's words and his intent and the text provided by the reporter regarding Vince and Dangerfield, there was no whinging, (or crying), about Vince's tactics.

Really poor article where the journalist has put his own spin on the comment.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Vince has a big lump on his face in the post-game interview.

[Moneider96 1,045]

compare Rory Sloane's interview with Phil Walsh. Boy..not hard to tell which one was more humble in victory.

Did anyone see Kent absolutely ragdoll Jake Kelly during the scuffle?

This is what the club's been lacking since the Northey years.

Bring on more of the fight both for the ball and defending the club and fellow players in a mellee.

Anyone calling for Kent's head after today needs a brain transplant. Haven't seen a Demon player ragdoll anyone since Jakovich

Was just watching some highlights on fox Footy,I don't think Danger has an acting career after he retires.

[Gator 17,383]

I love Brayshaw. I love his genuine class and preparedness to put his head over the ball. And he makes good decisions under pressure.

To think that so-called knowledgeable supporters wanted him at Casey. I still shake my head in disbelief.

He makes us better.

[Moonshadow 17,676]

You might be right red, if he turns out as good as Buddy, I don't care how oddly he kicks it. The speed and pace of Casey would make set shots considerably easier than at AFL level, I suspect. He would be blowing harder lining up for a goal now, which is where technique comes into play more. My point was not made because he missed one goal, more because his set shot technique is flawed. We shall see in time, of course.

[Dr. Gonzo 24,234]

He decides to drop Toumpas after one game for a fumble in the goal square

I dont necesaarily disagree with you though Dawes is not going anywhere now that Frost is injured. But Toumpas was not dropped just for a fumble in the goalsquare. I'm a Toumpas supporter but he made several mistakes and really looked out of his depth, that's why he was dropped.

Agreed,I don't really feel bad after today's loss.Seeing the Demons showing some balls and fighting it out to the end kind of felt like a victory.Kent should go into pro wrestling after he retires from footy.

[Emerald 1,744]

Just saw a replay of Howe sending Dangerfields head into the fence.Haha

wasn't a big deal. Did you see Vince's bump on Sloane? Hope he doesn't get anything.

If only he could consistently kick a bag like Jako used to...

Credit to the coaches: quite a turn-around in effort this week, and for (almost) 4 quarters as well.

The first 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter was going to the usual script but nice to see the players fight back.The last part of the first quarter after Watts dropped those marks was a bit of a worry too.Besides that and the missed opportunities it wasn't that bad today as compared to last week.

[dees189227 12,394]

well I flicked it on the radio when I heard we were 3 goals to 0. Then all I heard was JKH get run down twice watts dropped his head in a contest and cost us a goal and Hogan kept missing. I eventually saw the 2nd half. Hogan I know its only his 3rd game but he should be kicking those goals. We need to sort out that kicking out. We dont want a levi casboult on our hands. Someone who is a beautiful mark but cannot kick straight.

anyway next week we are back on the G. If we kicked straighter today it may have been a different result.

Id start Brayshaw on the ground next week. The kid is a tackling machine. Just gets in there.

Bernie has worked his way into fitness and form, he will be let off the leash and smash the Tigers next week

I hope you're right but it looked like he elbowed Sloane and may cop a week.

[Deecisive 1,709]

a lot of positives out of today, the first quarter other than the last minute was fantastic to watch, the second was also not too bad. This is the sort of football we all want to see. I think we are all being a bit hard on some of the players they all made mistakes throughout the game, but at least they all looked like the tried. Dawes is constantly double teamed, and delivery is often not the best, I thought from what I have seen so far his chasing and tackling were good. Watts dropped some but then so did the opposition, Sloane did a notice miss that resulted in one of our second quarter goals. I loved our attack on Dangerfield, it was a bit Ablettish and was great to see.

we are building a team for the future and I think things are looking a lot better, Adelaide is tough in Adelaide the umps are obviously swayed by the home crowd which meant they got a few extra frees and we missed on some. Our kicking let us down not only for goal but some of our kicking around the game where we kicked it directly to the opposition or out of bounds when not under a lot of pressure. At least this year we are seeing forward 50 entries and scores, even if they are not all goals its an improvement. The team still has a lot of new players getting used to our style and understanding their team mates. all in all not a bad performance.

Chris Dawes?

Probably Tex. He was smashing him during the brawl.

I loved Bernie's game and have massive respect for him now.

What the stupid Crows supporters didnt understand is the booing was making him go in harder.

He's cocky, and I love it.
