Talk on the national game

round 8 v Carlton

Postby OnSong » Mon May 21, 2012 8:55 am

Three things stood out to me in yesterday's superb win.

1) Speed

2) Attack on the footy

3) Disposal efficiency. Seemed to continually hit our targets.

Marvellous display. Loved hearing the Blue Baggers in the stands whinge for three quarters.

I only saw bits and pieces yesterday but spoke to 3 passionate crows about the game and they all said the same thing pretty much word for word.. I have never seen the crows attack the footy so hard.
Stick with it and the gameplan will stand up in finals

Really enjoyed yesterday's game, not because of the big margin but the way we went about it. We absorbed their pressure early and stayed in touch. Then flicked the switch and it was a complete team effory, blokes like Mckay, Smith, Porpas stood up and really contributed after being reasonably quiet in the first part of the year. Some of Porpas touches in the middle of the ground that set up scoring chances were A1. Jenkins is impressive, bloke seems to be a natural and more exposure at the top level and he could be very handy... Did anyone else notice when he ran into goal he bounced with his right and then left hand. Great to get Vince back as well, if he can slot across HFF and in a rotation it adds another dimension to the MID.

Danger, Thomo and Rory seem to be getting the press but the reason we are winning is we arent carrying anyone atm which is great.

when doughty missed that goal, and they went down and scored one themselves, i instantly thought here we go again, and last year i think we would have panicked. but yesterday we kept the desperation right up, and continued to attack which was the most pleasing thing imo.i wish nutta was 25 years old and not 29, but can see him playing another 3 years atleast. his contribution so far this year has been fantastic. i thought they pulled the wrong rein in keeping josh jenkins in and left out mkernan out, but that was the right decision. one of the best games ive seen the captian play aswell,reminds me of bickley the way he plays.talia whilst he didnt get much of it himself, what impresses me about this kid, is he hates his opponant getting near it. old style of player.

I reckon Shaun McKernan would've been face palming a few times yesterday. He will be rueing the fact that he gave this bloke a chance by getting suspended.

Thought it was gold how Chris Judd gets a stream of plaudits from commentators for taking an overhead mark. :lol:

Good to know that mckernan was good but he isn't getting into this team anytime soon. Its great when u got guys like Douglas, mckernan, symes, Martin and Lyons all playing well in the sanfl they can come into the team andplay there roll.

The other who would have been a chance if injuries had hit the Crows is Rory Laird. He is going to be a star.
