Round 18 Discussion

[LostDoggy]

Early start to this weeks the thread.
I saw Peter Faulks has been picked on the extended bench for Freo so good on him, wouldn't mind seeing him getting a game

[Remi Moses]

Adelaide are just awful! Neil Craig has to be goneski,they've become uncompetitive.
Stop start game plan, very safe and conservative and awfully frustrating to watch.
Think I'll watch the cricket.
Crows making Stkilda look exciting on the eye:eek:

And even that mangey dog kicked 8 what's the world coming to?

As much as he is an annoying little toe rag,he's one of the best small forwards in the history of the game.That performance has a lot of "Sack The Coach" midweek about it.

[The Adelaide Connection]

Will Riewoldt be looked at for his head high bump on Symes? It was clear he got his face and it hasn't been released yet but Symesy came away with a broken jaw. Inflicting injury usually = games. Will be interested to see if that will be the case with the poster boy.

He'll be looking at about 4 weeks based on the injury = games philosophy, but as we know the MRP is a lottery and I won't be surprised if he gets none.

Given that it's Remi Moses' favourite 'German Diver' Symes is more likely to be charged with heat butting!

Neil Craig has been coaching the club a few years now and they havent produced anything in his time to suggest they are building a team or have any upside
.
Adelaide crows have always been arrogant and to admit he wasnt the right coach isnt going to happen so they keep him on longer sending them further down the tube.

Coaches are judged nowadays on team lists and results, Neil hasnt been succesfull at any of these.
Watched Tippet last night, what a gun he could be but that silly thing he goes through before he has a shot at goal looks so amatuerish and its sending him backwards.
For a start while he is doing that how can the other forwards lead and expect toi get a pass in a better position if the opportunity arises?
Neil has some strange ideas, the Ben Hudson one still bewilders me, he wasnt allowed to kick the ball??
Neil the game is called FOOTball !!

Heat butting, that sounds nasty and more like a Saints off season activity:D

Haven't seen it CD. No doubt they'll evoke the AFL Bum Boy top bloke points off classification.
Juergen Riewoldt:mad:

Bit of man live with Craigy and Steven Trigg I'd imagine

Andrew Walker will have to go close to taking MOTY. That was awesome.

Yep big mark.

Chris Judd can play - what a game by him.

[Remi Moses]

Gee who saw that coming? Bombres got pantsed. Still not sold on Carlton as a top 4 side,if they knock over one of the big boys I'll concede.
When Walker and Betts tear up decent opposition, then they can carry on.
Great Mark, reminded me of Michael Roach's classic in 79.

There was a small window last year to pick up a very talented 24yo at significant unders but that window has since been slammed shut emphatically :(

[Remi Moses]

Umm have Channel Seven stuffed up?Melb Hawks game live on 107 but delayed on FTA version!! Gremlin in the system

[chef]

What a game to finish the round. Eagles by a point with Ballantyne hitting the post after the siren.

Should have he got it?

[Maddog37]

Not really. 50 out on boundary. Given as post but looked touched to me.

I went through the game analyser on t-box to look for the incident. I looked for a free kick to Symes but there was none. When did it occur.

Nice elbow to the head of Ward from Goodes, I wonder if that will be looked at?

It clearly hit the post.

I don't think he did get a free kick. I am pretty sure it was in the second quarter.

I bet it doesn't get looked at. No way will they allow Riewoldt to miss the Gold Coast game over there.

[The Adelaide Connection]

Nope, probably not.

[LostDoggy]

Question -- can we get him or Taylor Walker for unders during the trade window? Both their stocks have dropped DRAMATICALLY, especially in Crowsland but there is no doubt they both can seriously play. Cloke was struggling a couple of seasons back too before it all clicked. Kurt will be a serious upgrade from Minnow, and go some way to filling the Hall hole.

What would it take to get a trade done? A late first-rounder that we'll get from Wardy's trade may do it methinks. Or is Tippett off to GWS?

[Topdog]

Apparently Walker is off to GWS.

[LostDoggy]

Apparently Walker is off to GWS.

So Tippett is still available...

This -- there was a sizeable contingent of us on this forum last year who would have easily preferred Walker to Sherman, if only for his attitude. It's funny how some things are so obvious to some, yet not to others (I think we all can be blinkered sometimes, so not having a go at anyone specific).

It goes without saying also that we would have much preferred Walker to Hill on our list, but that's a whole other can of worms.

Sherman has been a good pick up and has contributed more than posters realize. Up until his indiscretion he was the 9th overall player in the AFL for score assists. Sherman has the running speed to develop into a good outside running mid. I don't believe we erred in picking him up.

[chef]

Apparently Walker is off to GWS.

Apparently it's the Swans who have made a bigger play for Walker.

[chef]

No, he signed a 3 year contract last year.

[bornadog]

Nope, probably not.

Your right. The trouble is cement head Ward keeps getting hit in the head and keeps getting up.
