SA Footy

love to write something about the game but if u suffer from insomia get a video of this game

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

Listening to it on the internet - Come on CROWS! Dont let a team of scrubbers with wank tactics get on top.
It doesnt sound like the best of games. Im not even pulling in any winners on the nags.
Squillani about to run in Melb tho....come on!!!

West Adelaide V Eagles on ABC is more exciting, even though it's a flogging.

Richmond should be reported for bringing the game in to disrepute, as should have the Crows when they did the same thing earlier in the year.

Wallace is doing exactly what he did in 2000 when the Dogs played the Dons at the Dome, denying the opposition the ball, slow the game down and creating space when the defenders attack the ballcarrier and the chip kick is on to the free teammate. The result of that game was a snooze fest and a win to the Dogs.

It's De ja vouz all over again.....

well well well.... the crows lose at playing at thier own game...

to the ch10 commentators who says its a world recored in regards to most makes in a game..... u want to hang ur hat on the one...

to kg and cornesy dont winge about that u applased against collingwood

Crows were utter shite today, too many soft performances with slack arse efforts to man up.

Thanks for an appalling game Wallace.

Oh and STFU Anthony Hudson, you useless tosser

Where do you start
Richmond over 170 marks for the day, 90% of these would be uncontested, and about 60% kicked backwards
I think this game will force the rules committee to make rule changes "no mark to be paid if kicked backwards"

If the rules do get changed, coaches will again come out bitching but as coaches they also have ownership of our great game so if they implore such negative tactics for an entire game, the AFL will not let the game die in this manner....

In 2000, a Walace coached side executed the super flood against the bombers, this particular game changed the manner in which our game is now being played which 5 years later resulted in significant rule changes....

Today, a walace coached side had as many kicks backwards as forwards, 170+ marks, most uncontested and won again, my prediction is will again change the way our game is played and will result in rule changes......

So what do the AFL do?, do they let the coaches find a way in over coming this negative tactic or do the AFL force the issue with a rule change......

If it is the latter coaches will say, leave the game alone, but my memo to the Coaches, maybe the AFL have no choice in thiss manner

In regards to the Crows performance....

Around the stoppages, we were a bit soft today, our boys have stronger bodies but we got smashed...........

Memo to Craigy, it's time to replace Clarke with Maric, I agree Clarke is a good tap ruckman but we need a big man that can do more around the ground, Symonds killed us around the ground in general play........

Stevens is not up to AFL Footy, I don't want to attack the bloke but he lacks aggression and got pushed off the ball in couple marking contests by young inexperienced players

The way the crows moved the ball forward was old school footy, we just kept on bombing the ball in and we made it easy for the tigers defence....

Finally we could not think our way through the tigers tactic, we let the Bowden players roam free and take uncontested possessions and this kikked the crows and the game.........

Structure, the crows have concerns, Stevens is not up to AFL standards, I would prefer that McGregor at CHB, Biglands forward and Maric in to the ruck

Yep, Stevens to be cut at the end of this year, not up to it.
McGregor tends to be overrated -as a forward anyway.
Just not aggressive enough and pretty dopey too.

As far as the rules go, the 'kick backwards, play on' rule has been trialled and the VFL have it in their comp.
For the sake of the spectacle and producing competitive footy, something like this must be brought in.

A harsher version would be similar to Basketball's 'Front to Back' rule (once past half way, you can't go back),
except footy doesn't have a half way line of course (yet!). Soccer should have that rule as well.

Perhaps a combined version of the above would force sides to attack immediately.

LMAO. Geelong were bagged endlessly for winning by less than a kick against Richmond who did the same thing at Cat Park last year but it will be strictly 'hands off' for the Crows by the Vic media I feel...

This can be only good for the SANFL!

Adelaide did the same to Collingwood in round 1.
Geez Crows, your own medicine didn't taste nice, did it?

The crows did play slow temp possession footy against the pies, but for a 7 minute period, the tigers did it for the entire game, you can not compare the two games, today's game took the tactic to an entire new level

Winners are grinners and losers can go...........

Only got our selves to blame because from listening to i on the radio when richmond turned it over we were slow in the transition so and that is when you bust open a team that wants to flood as they can get behind the ball.

So we coouldn't win it at the stoppages and we didn't work hard enough.

Not that it was unexpected as poor sides will always try to drag a good team down to their level through flooding tactics and keepies off.

WE have to expect those sort of tactics...

Spot on mate. Reading Ian's whiney posts is the only thing that can cheer me up on a night were the Cats are getting done by ten goals in one half!!

Why didn't the Crows man up then? I had a crack at Collingwood for not doing that for that 7 minute period, yet the Crows failed for an entire game?
