GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Adelaide

[BDA 20,623]

Viney is being well shackled. Badly need Oliver back in this team to drive the team forward 

[BDA 20,623]

Kossie unsighted that quarter

Thank goodness they can't kick straight 

They would be ahead if they kicked straight.

Momentum swings so much. Need to be more consistent.

[Gawndy the Great 7,693]

I tell you what watching live is far less stressful than TV.
 

We look far more superior in structure but have been a bit clumsy with disposal and i50 entry. Nothing that cannot be tidied up.

Lucky to be in front at halftime. BBB's AFL career must be very close to the end on that showing.

Both Brown and TMac are at the end. Both contracted for next year. Expect both to finish up then or retire early. Their bodies are shot sadly. Both great servants of the club and will be fondly remembered premiership players once they hang up the boots.

[Webber 10,181]

At the game, and the lack of (defensive) pressure in the forward 50 is staggering! Ugly signs, and we’re going to get run over if we don’t improve our contest and pressure, Jack Viney excused, and assuming Crows have the legs. Can’t exit defensive with any conviction, can’t keep it in our own. Awful football, except for that bright 10 minutes. 

[Demon Disciple 11,133]

Hope we don’t let this turn into an arm wrestle. Need to come out and make a statement early.

[Demonsterative 2,101]

I hate jumping on the bandwagon when it comes to our KPF’s, but BBB is not providing a contest. 
 

 

[Boots and all 910]

Lever has also been quiet today.

I don't know why they persist with BBB

He's been lacklustre. No doubt about it. I think Petty is a better option. But it won't happen. 

I think Bbb gets another half a quarter before Smith is subbed .

Good to see Chandler back in the goal scoring.

We need to biry this side in the third. Are we seriously competing for a cup this year. No more just scraping in fgs.

I think Max is tired from last week. Nice goal in the first but only three touches since. Lever not doing much. Anb needs to lift again.

Milk is continuing his good form thank goodness

This game is poised at even money right now

Yep, coming out way too quickly/easily.

Whats so hard to have our talls bring it to ground with our smalls locking it up?

[Nicko 1,271]

Keep M Crouch and rankine quiet in the second half and we win comfortably

All about starving supply, but they’re attacking much more than us, just have wasted shots.

Has definitely been the case today: reckon he’s been better in the previous few weeks 

[sisso 2,401]

Grundy would offer a lot more than Brown in the side

M crouch hadnt been able to get an AFL game, we should be able to quell his influence but I agree keeping rankine quiet is a challenge

Maybe it is time for Petty to play forward and make Tommo a permanent fixture down back. I thought BBB was turning the corner a bit last week but he's off the boil today.

Adelaide desperately need the 4 points to stay in the finals race. They're not going to go down easily

[dees189227 11,016]

Hopefully Goody straightens us back up at the break.

Gawn has only 4 disposals to. Our midfield haps to do better to.

Trac very off today

Yep, I think we have to have a tall beside JVR to give him that help. If not BB it probably has to be Grundy

[The end is nigh 298]

Minding their pacy forward is proving to be testing and the hit up mark on the wing hasn’t been there. Need the forwards to rotate up to be that option. Brown, trac, melk and JVR.  Adelaide doing lots of block/grapple work to keep them quiet. Umps will chirp in if our forward go the ball in air (as they have a couple times already)
