It’s gonna be a long season.

That is a horrible mistake

I think this is the case. They were told to review any scoring situations that may looked close… after Adelaide missed out on finals in edition 55 of the crows were robbed right in front of me, haha

So a dangerous tackle is when you hold a players arm, you drag them down and they hit their head on the ground? Is that a technically correct decision?

Would it be any different if we had Caulfield? If a player is 50/50 on us and another Melbourne club, does Casey Fields turn some players off a bit? I don’t know if it does or not, just curious.

Huh! I thought the same

Crows are awesome to watch. Fast, hard, 3 big forwards kicking goals, good skills.

That is just a crazy decision

Fogarty has the best kicking action

Yep. Reminds me of Nathan Buckley toward the latter years. I actually loved watching him played forward. So natural

I’ve always thought Ben Keays is like a bizzaro world Fritta.

It just feels so stale to me. If the changes would make marginal difference, then by that logic, there’s no harm in picking one/two of them? And it isn’t just about this game, if we have zero players in our VFL side that Goody deems worthy to reward form and develop at AFL level, even after 0-4 with seemingly zero chance of contending this year, then we are well and truly cooked.

We ranked 14th for goals per inside 50 and 12th for marks per inside 50 in 2022. Our entries were not good. Our defence was ranked #1 and it papered over the cracks we are now seeing. Even whilst we were winning 5-6-7-8 games straight, the one knock against us that footy analysts in the media pointed out, was our lack of efficiency going forward. I remember it clearly as I was waiting for us to click and it didn’t happen. It’s been a problem for years.

I’m talking super Roccas. Roccas times 10. (I’m actually just talking garbage as Demonland is very heavy at the moment, to which I’m contributing too I’m other threads truth be told, haha)

Couldn’t handle Tracc. Couldn’t handle Oliver. Couldn’t handle a player I can’t mention. Let alone ALL the other issues this club has had for years. But we can definitely handle JUH. Just mind numbingly dumb.

The next evolution of AFL will be specialised ultra long kickers. Steph Curries, but for AFL. Players that nail goals consistently from 60 meters.

Mate we’ll romp it home. Double our scoring and tackle stats from the Geelong game. 6 behinds, 4 tackles. Let’s go.

It’s settled. All training from now is to be done with one of the following parameters: smaller/bigger thinner/thicker lighter/heavier longer/shorter courser/smoother louder/quieter wetter/drier more physics/less physics hyper realistic/abstract hyper gravity/microgravity Getting good at one game means playing the same game, but different.

Used to practice on king sized snooker tables so pub pool felt like a kids game. Smashed everyone. Goal kicking practice should be done with posts half distance apart. WE’LL NEVER LOSE AGAIN.

We didn’t have to look for better options because Maxy was there so often to mark it, or we’d count on it being a ball up/throw in. Didn’t develop our decision making skills in our senior players as a result.

Still moves pretty bloody well for an old big fella. Marks it right at the apex of his jump too!

I fully agree with both halves of that glass. We’re obviously winning enough ball to get it inside 50, we just butcher it or continuously burn better options. Our forwards are also in terrible form obvs. So that doesn’t help. But we really don’t (and haven’t for years) maximise their chances of getting a clean grab either. And I ask this genuinely, does Goodwin look like he’s tried to address the F50 connection problems to you?

Huh, maybe just a weird software glitch then with the stream output. If nobody else was hearing it, then the signals up until that point were all good. That’s weird.

Didn’t Goodwin say we’re getting ‘high quality entries’ (or something along those lines) after the Geelong game? 50 inside 50’s, for 6 goals. 16 scores. Geelong had 49 inside 50’s, for 12 goals. 25 scores. It’s hearing him say this that confirms to me that he doesn’t reckon the vast majority of our entries are an issue which is WILD. Must just solely be an issue with the forwards then I guess? 50 entries, 6 goals, but nup, if we only kicked straight for a spectacular 14.2, we would’ve belted them by 1 point. That’s the logic. 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

That’s really strange. It was a slap back delay sound, so either another microphone somewhere was picking up on a sound source or a secondary output was directly feeding audio into an input. The delay sound wasn’t degraded though, which makes me think it was the latter. It sounded like the same signal repeating itself? Audio stuff just does weird things sometimes.
