Here we go again. Have we learnt anything yet?
I learned how to scream Baaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!
Kick the cat
Punch the wall
Diagnose heart palpatations
Treat a sore throat
Crush a TV remote one handed
We have learnt failure until it becomes a tradition.
Pittonet wins a free in a ruck duel, takes the set shot about 35m out on a 45 degree angle, kicks it out on the full.
Best of all, he laughs about it !! >:(
Why do we attempt to handball when we’re being tackled across the line. So dumb.
Ainsworth has had 2 shots on goal and they never looked like missing.
Need to feed him the ball
First of I predict many atrocious free kicks to Adelaide. End result a goal
That was a screwin disgraceful decision
I typed screwin not screwin
He got hit late, sure. He grabbed his head despite not getting hit there though.
Should get a free from diving, not a 50m
Walker holds his head after he gets hit in the back!!!
We're playing ok
*Checks what half we are in*
Yep....for now.
At least we're not embarrassing ourselves (at the moment). Our backline is really struggling.
Couldn’t ask for a better start.
Ainsworth v impressive, Walsh 🔥, pitt pretty good.
That free against Haynes just pathetic and speaking of pathetic, the racist tool Tex putting on an Oscar worthy performance 🙄
Haynes looks horribly off the pace..
Jagga less than 50% time on ground...are we holding him back for a second half.
Cripps started quarter on the bench. Smashed!
Cripps starting on the bench was a mistake
Starting to fold. Umpires impacting. Backline crape
We can't stop a run..same old story
Boyd is a huge liability, he has to go - permanently !!!
When he makes a mistake, they cost us dearly.
That's 4 of 6 goals from attrocious decisions.
I don’t understand this team
Oh my god?
Same story.
We dominate the clearances. Even match.
They dominate the clearances we get flogged.
We only have won way to win. Dominate clearances which is not sustainable.
take the whole defensive 6 with him. seriously 6 duds who have no fking clue
Elijah has been good but hasn't earned daicos show boating status yet.
Haynes is not up to it any more, Ainsworth is a very limited highlights reel, Cerra looks lost at times & Young is caught out of position too often.
There was a glimmer of system and intent early but once the Crows started to apply some pressure, we have crumbled & fumbled.
When you see players high-fiving, showboating to the crowd, laughing & poking their tongue out very early in a match, you know they don't have the substance to take it with them for the whole game.
thats coaching my friend. no other gameplan and every other team knows it
No other game plan, sure.
Cause and effect though.
What game plan do you want us to have? One where we bring on an abundance of fast, running ball users to mix it up? We don't have them on the list.
We are handcuffed to this game plan because we don't have the troops to do anything else.
When Cripps takes a set shot for goal, he doesn't even get close, they are bad misses.
I still can't see what others see in Evans, massive spud !!
Comes back to rubbish list management once again.
100% it does.
Which is why i defend voss. You can't polish a turd.
Sack the recruiters, before you blame the coach.
kruddler look at the lack of defensive structures how many goals from loose defending - no system at all from kicking in
we are one trick ponies sure we have slow midfield but fmd the lack of system is for 5 years is too much.
he has to be replaced with a modern coach. or we are going nowhere regardless of the players we have
Nah dont agree. its not all or nothing. the list is weak but that lack of moves when the game changes is like not having a coach at all.
our list is better then what we have shown
Agree. And I think the Frank the Tank show has ended also.
Newman back and Florent further up the ground is a better look.
Gee we make Ben Keays look like a star
Emotive BS.
In that 5 years we made a prelim. It is NOT all doom and gloom.
Lack of defensive structures.....
We lost Jack.
We are without Weitering.
We are without O'Farrell
We are without Dean
Thats our 4 best KPPs
Our next best would probably be...
Kemp - required forward
McGovern - required forward
Which leaves us with....
Young - who we asked to look elsewhere
Derksen - who was free to a good home
Haynes - a 34yo playing his first game back from injury
Gee, i wonder why our defense is struggling.
Can we please remember Boyd hasnt really played much and Derks is in game 2. Give them a chance to gel.
A few errors but more Adelaide not getting closely checked enough, or our players both going for a player and both being taken out.
Im a little over Harry not keeping his feet but i get hes got 3 against him each time, rarely a free kick 🙄
Agree whats going on with Evans, he needs to do much more.
HOK has been ok!
Also is it a work experience kid on cameras tonight? Shocking.
Terrible 2nd qtr, umps did us no favours. The Walker 50m was a disgrace. Walsh 15 in the first, 3 in the second. This is the difference between say Diesel and Walsh. Diesel would get 15 in the first and his mind set was Im on for 60 today. Walsh's mindset appeared to be Ive done my bit.
I'd put Harry back for craps and giggles.
Free kicks 14-7 adelaides way
Our backline is shizen. Haynes is reminding me of his 1st game v Richmond. Young is a ragdoll toy for Thilthorpe. Boyd is making shocking decisions. Derksen is out of his league. Cowan and Newman battling hard but they are under the pump so much. Starting Cripps on the bench and suddenly they smash us in the middle and we just fall apart. Something definitely wrong with Cripps' right hand. Walsh on fire in the 1st and unsighted in the 2nd. Smith hardly touched it. Cerra hardly touched it. Williams ditto. Kemp and Evans, zero impact. H is at least bringing the ball to ground but not much else. Hopefully as we're down at halftime we're saving ourselves for the 2nd.😝
Pissing down now
Rubbish and more excuses.
We have never had defensive structures and missing 3 defenders 2 of which have played under 10 games if not the reason mate.
Voss is a 2 time failed coach and will
never get another senior role after he sacked later this year which says it all.
Pouring with rain now. Not sure if this will help or hurt us?
Funny how you dismiss the defenders missing, highlighting how few games they've played........which actually backs up my comments about how its a list management issue.
If 2 of our best 3 defenders have played about 10 games between them....how the hell are you still blaming the coach for lack of defensive structure??
That is NOT what that rule was brought in for.
WTF was that free for may I ask ?
Do we get these free kicks or does it just work against us lol?
Cerra is getting worse the longer the game goes, is he hearing footsteps or what ??
Why wont they kick down the guts when its so wet?
I really enjoyed how the umpire called "stand" twice and Taylor kept running on yet they didn't penalise him - WTF ??
Because they are dumb footballers.
you cant polish a coaching turd
so the genius coach has no say on list decisions ?
none at all.
and none of that dismisses the fact we are the most disorganised non structured team in the comp.
list management and coaching are both below par
Ollie Hollands works hard. If he could tidy things up 10% he would be a very good player.
Why was that tackle on Taylor not rewarded ??
The non calla and missed calls by rhe umpires are obvious. Nothing from the Fox commentary
Exhibit A on why this rule needs to be changed. Thats BS.
The umpires have really reamed us
I think we should do a Collingwood and say we're not travelling for gather round next year.
Blaming the coach for list management decisions is showing your bias.
We have 73 guys involved in scouting from all corners of the globe......but Vossy is to blame. Pretty sure he doesn't get to local footy a couple times a week, every week, for years to do the scouting required.
There was a clear throw by the Crows out of defence after Cripps was ripped off the ball in the goal square. Nothing to see here...
he will be gone before the year is done and will never get another gig.
end of story.
No better on 7. A few ‘oh he was lucky/unlucky there’ yet every lucky is their way! So fking annoying. Walker gets to run 4 steps get tackled, not holding the ball - some leeway given im the conditions. We get pinged immediately! Wtf!
We need to just kick it down the middle this quarter. Chaos ball after chaos ball. To do that we need centre clearance, so start Cripps on the ground Vossy. Pitto needs to ruck all quarter ala Max Gawn.
I forgot. Before all that H had his head smashed in by 2 Crows defenders in the marking contest...play on
Where's Walsh gone...disappearing trick again after a blistering start..
Bounce in the wet by Florent is coaching is it?
Walsh had 15 disposals in the first quarter, 5-mins into the last and he has had 21, how can a player be so damaging in one quarter and then put the cue in the rack for the rest of the game ??
Look at the field kicking by them versus ours. Poles apart.
OMG, Harry and Kemp did something.
Florent is a disappointing acquisition...
OK, 4 goals....plenty of time.
Time to get a few lucky free kicks, a nice bounce and its game on.
Footy gods owe us a few, so i'll cash them in now please.
I watched him up here a fair bit and he was always very dependable at the Swans, he's not the same player down in Melbourne.
I'd like to think so, because based on his efforts here, if he was doing that before, recruiters deserve to be shot!
Umpire gave him the 'talk to the hand' for talking back.
Could be the spark we need.
That's great that the umpire pinged him for dissent but why didn't Worrell get pinged when he gobbed off earlier in the match ??
Byrne has a nice left foot
Sorry but if I see Boyd play ever again Ill throw up.
WTF was Kemp thinking
Can someone explained how that was touched.
THe ball was hit forward.
Now either it crossed the line first,
or
It didn't cross the line at all.
I believe the latter, which should've meant that it was a deliberate rushed behind.
But no......
Gee the Crows like to stage, good at it mind you.
All over red rover !!
We were always looking for a 'hail mary' in the last quarter though.
Too many soft free kicks had us done from the start
Kemp wasted a minute was never going to kick it..dumb
Just a bit player. Nothing has change. More the side he is playing for.
Cripps misses again, time is up for him too.
I'm sure it was Vossys fault he missed though.
Shawny, care to enlighten us as to how?
We tried hard, but we seriously lack quality and class.
They have a stink of being coached by a Scott brother. The arms out constantly.
Give it a rest. The man cannot do everything ffs.
Crippa still has a big role to play, just need to surround him with the right players
They were clinical and cleaner for 3 qtrs. I think they got an arm chair ride from the umps but that massive 2nd qtr was the end of the ball game. Again our blokes (the mids) stood by and watched.
So glad we went in with all those tall players to help us in the torrential rain. ??? ::)
First game this year we have outscored someone in the last.
He's given everything he has over the journey but he's now banged up and spent.
He doesn't have anything more to give.
We fought it out I suppose but we just didn’t have the class, at least tonight.
It looks that way, but you'd be surprised what a couple of wins in the trot could do though. Everyone looks banged up when you are losing.
I've suggested similar.
I reckon he is carrying a knee injury and hurt his thumb tonight.....may have a hurt wrist as well.
This is what we can expect from him until the end of his career. We've used him as a battering ram his whole career and its starting to take its toll.
Let him go home to WA and lets get something for him while we can.
No harm, no foul.
Win-win.
Only thing we got out of that is we didn't die on our arse in the last qtr.
Pity the 2nd qtr stunk.
And when we started with him off the ground we got trounced.
If I squinted whilst looking at the TV, I could have sworn Curnow was still out there, it was McGovern though. Three times I saw him just drop off like Curnow used to, gave up on the second effort.
We can look good when we want to be. Same every week for a while, then it stops.
Equal leading goalkicker both tonight and for the year.
Got 4 tackles tonight which was in the top half of Carlton players.
Not sure he is the one i'd be singling out.
