Rob Courtney Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 I'm just over the whole "so we have drafted young mids and our midfield gets consistently pantsed but we won't run any of those young mds through there, they have to learn how to be a forward pocket until they are fit enough to play in the middle. Not sure why we are rebuilding if we are not actually rebuilding, we just seem keen to limit the losses and hopefully jag a few games along the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The better team won. Can handle that. I'm usually not one to say anything about the umpiring. 31-9 free kicks ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably works better in 2 team cities with a captive audience like WA and SA. Doesn't explain why Port and the Crows can't quite get it right though.

I can’t see why it should be two Victorian teams and fail to see what Mothers Day has to do with it. The game starts at 4pm and to the best of my knowledge people usually go out for Mothers Day lunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I’m saying is if they had swapped swapped with the 12.40pm slot, besides the two VIC clubs being able to celebrate Mother’s Day am and after the late afternoon match, the Crows players and staff could be home in Adelaide for the evening. Would make sense to me. Now let’s face it, it’s not the AFL, it’s the VFL with invited guests. Everybody or nearly all outside Victoria know of the bias, like the use of the MCG, the 50+ years the Grand Final must been played there, and the Anzac Day match, always for ever Collingwood and Essendon, not the grand finalists of the previous year?

Rob Courtney Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Someone is up and about today Shouldn't even be a close match, Carlton should win but I just want to see us bring some competitive spirit to the game. As for the boo hoo towards the GF being at the MCG for the next 50 years...tyeah, that sucks as it was a deal done on the AFL having a government commit to building a stadium for them, so the AFL get their stadium and the other teams suck it up. It was a corrupt deal but nothing that is a surprise from Vlad and Hamish over the years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all mate. I was keen to highlight what I think will be a good game of football this afternoon and I reckon the Crows will be more competitive than you might expect. Being Carlton, almost anything could happen. Sadly the massive South Australian shoulder chip came out and there was a sook about issues that are essentially non existent. You South Aussies seriously have no idea how good you have it here. Stop your bloody whinging! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Depends which team turns up today, the "no sir after you" Crows from last week or the ones that played the week before. We are still a project in the works because finally, we have acknowledged that we can't play with Sloane or Crouch in the middle. The game has gotten faster and if you are going to be...well not fast, you can't be 180cms and 81kgs, you need to be 193cms and 93kgs. We do noit have that 190+ player ready yet but we can put more pace in there which should be interesting but may not come off this week. My fear is that we get smashed in the guts today and the coaches immediately hit the panic button and bring Crouch back in. I understand it is a harsh call on an AA player but it is the right one. Laird plays his role (accumulator) and frankly, does it much better. If the Crows are going to take that next step, we need to start blooding more youngsters through the CBAs (centre bounce attendances) because we are currently the worst in the league at it and that isn't developing anybody. Hopefully Tex kicks a dozen today though, just love the guy and get really narky when people have a go at him because he isn't the smartest person in the world...you only had to look at him to see that but he can footy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
