Crows v Freo

[GWW]

I would like to see Bock follow him all day although he probably would not have the fitness at AFL level to do this at the minute. If it is Stevens then Pavlich will have minimum 6 goals for the game

I'm sure the Dockers would like to see Bock stand Pav as well

Bock at full fitness could go with Pavlich

Josh Carr Vs Goodwin looks like a crucial battle - Carr always played well against the Crows for the Power - usually having a crack at Riccuito at the centre bounces!
Headland also loves playin at AAMI and can kick some very long goals!

what the **** is Craigy thinking letting Maric play for Port yesterday now he has to front up for two games of footy in a weekend not to mention the fine for naming a player who wasnt in the original list of emergencies

20 mins in to the last qtr, 17 pts down, Time for us Crows supporters to batten down the hatches, after last night I'm sure the Port supporters will be keen to remind us of the weekends results.

Thanks Adelaide NOT. Teams that lose to Freo at home don't win premierships. You blokes are as gone as us, you just don't know it yet.

I lost count how many times we handballed to a player in trouble after taking a mark...very disappointing game.

REB

I would like to take you up on that

All credit to freo and i hope eveyone jumps off the crows so I can get better odds with the bookies

No doubt our last three weeks have been disappointing, but I hae been in Adelaide the last two weeks and seen quite a few training sessions and believe me they have just completed a mini pre-season..... I have no doubt this has taking the edge of their game and only time will tell if this will benefit their finals preperation.

Let's face it, their are 14 other clubs that would like to be in the crows position, top 2 spot guarenteed with 6 weeks to go, this has allowed craigy to start preparing for finals now, even if it means a loss or two

BUT their are still some concerns, it is time for Clarke to go we need more agression around stoppages, we need more pace in the midfield and the forwards are a bit of the boil, my mail is Burton is gone for the year.....

REB I have quoted you that the Crows are gone, no panic stations here

I think SD is right the Crows appear flat after mini pre season
training sessions.
Interesting to note that when the Crows dont flood back just
how ordinary some of the defensive actions look.
There are some players underdone at this stage.
Pace is a problem, time for Skipworth to supplement to
the midfield endurance.

The crows are very fortunate to play a weary Bulldogs outfit this week.

Mal,

We agree on something

If you have a look at the last three weeks, the crows have been run down and caught holding the ball on numerous occassions, their not getting to the uncontested football and their timing is out just by a fraction, their missing targets by hand and foot but not by much......

Personally I think the crows will be extremely well prepared for finals and if their needs to be a hicup now to achieve that success well it's a no brainer.....

The main concern is Craigy needs to settle the side down, McGregor and Bassett are obviously in some doubt for next week, Craigy needs to make a decsion on Perrie and Hudson if either of them are in his best side well play them now and their are other players knocking on the door like Torney and Skippy.......

The biggest challenfe now is to settle the side down, get his structure right

Positives for today, Welsh, Macca and Bock will all be better for the run, Hentchel got back to some form, Bode, Doughty and Mattner were fantastic and we have Biglands, Roo, Hart, Perrie, Torney and Hudson all available for selection

[mal]

We may be right SD but dont forget that AC
is WC bitches.

[sydney-dog]

Agree west Coast do have it over the crows but for some reason I do not fear them if we have to play them in Melb. subi is a different case of course

[mal]

And once again there was a stampede of Crows supporters leaving
when there was 5 minutes left.........fickle fickle............................

[sydney-dog]

mal, actually with about 90 seconds to go, but mate i have been to every ground in the past 18 months and it happens with all supporters so lets not single out the crows

I was at TD lat year when the crows smacked the saints and the saints supporters were leaving at 3 1/4 time

SD my gripe is that the Crows supporters stampede is when its
a close game which is pretty ordinary to leave.
When its 10 goals the difference fair enough.

You are right you have no reason to fear them in melbourne. After all you have nothing to fear. You havent played them in melbourne yet.

[sydney-dog]

Mal

it's the same at all clubs and grounds, at the scg this year the swans fans left early in the last and it was only 4 goals in it

for years we heard port supporters stay until the end no matter what, yeah right, and it is the same at all clubs

[mal]

Further elaboration, i have seen Crows supporters stampeding
when the game is less than a kick the difference.
For example the AC V CO game...thats p..s poor.

[sydney-dog]

Mal, did you do to the game today

[mal]

Mal, did you do to the game today

SD i go to nearly every game PP/AC play at aami staduim
and fair dinkum they run out to their cars to beat the traffic
in the very close games, to me thats sus, I say get home later
and enjoy the thrill of a close game.
