When exactly did Joey become such a sh!t kick? Just roosts them lately. Cost us any chance.

Massive lost opportunity.

Cannot fault their effort and intensity, but so many easy missed shots cost us the victory.

Proud, but extremely disappointing


it has been around this time that "Kosi" will headbutt a fence, rip a hamstring or belt someone.

Another loss by under a goal.
Gee if we could kick we'd be a real chance.
Great character in this team, but we need to do something about our goal kicking.

Played well, kicked like a mule - used to be a beautiful kick.
I guess five years of no skills training does that?

Unbelievable. We got outplayed, made shocking mistakes and errors, and lose by less than a kick. What happened?

We've got something no doubt, but can't quite close the deal. 6 Day breaks, inaccurate kicking, sloppy handling...not sure what to say. But great heart and fight. I'm perplexed....

Great effort just poor conversion cost us. Very positive going into second half of season given game plan and ball movement coming together. We will definitely make the 8.

Fkn DISGRACEFUL.

Fkn butchered that game.

Milne is a s.hit kick when the pressure is on.

Should retire.

Kosi is a waste of space.

Gram REFUSES to put his body in.

Terrble kicking at goal.

The score DOES NOT reflect the dominance of Adelaide.

Really pissed off at this team and their terrible, TERRIBLE conversions.

Really disappointed


Lance or James??

lost opportunity no doubt, but if there's 1 thing you can say about this group they've certainly got heart. Hayes was enormous those last 5 minutes, and kicking a bit straighter we would have pinched that one. Confusing mix of emotions right now, hugely disappointed yet fiercely proud of the way the boys showed heart in that game. Seriously have no idea what that means for the rest of the season, I had this game as being make or break contention wise, write us off at your peril but jeez we used to win these 50/50 games, unfortunately haven't been quite there this year to date, need a massive second half of the year. I still believe!

4 point loss. Good last quarter, lot to take out of it, had a few lucky decisions, few poor ones. I think it's clear that we have the measure of the Crows, and just threw it away with poor kicking. Adelaide aren't that great, we're certainly not that bad. Despite the loss, despite the poor play, we saw 20 mins of a team with a hell of a lot of spirit. Not enough for success but more than enough for hope. The rest will come. Bring on the bye then bring on the 2nd half of the season. I'm excited!

Isn't he....was a waste of space out there. Hate his gutless efforts. His tackle at the end was substandard, a pathetic effort. Blokes like him need to be turned over. Would have rather had Simpkin out there tonight instead of this piss weak dud. Embarrasing that he has Trevor Barker's number.

What about the free not paid to milney for a push in the back? Or the legging on Steven? Inconsistency was frustrating.

And the crows fans were still thinking they got the rough end and were booing even tho they were in front at the siren.


In fairness tho we played like gimps for most of the game and bad kicking cost us. To think we were 5 goals down shows we have heart, just lacking the polish.

If he'd found a target and we'd scored, we had a chance. He didn't we didn't - slim chance gone. ffsysm.

Joey kicked a few high in the air when he has to get rid of it quickly....not ideal, but there are worse things. Thought he gave us something toward the end. Hard night, because Adelaide were good for most of it.

Bloody good effort....just count up what they were up against, and got within 4 points. I hate losing to those goat f*ckers too, but go easy on the boys, great character.

Tim just said how tough Adelaide were. Didn't think they were that impressive.

Fought well, but missed kicks in that 2nd qtr, could have been worse and to think we didn't play that well and lost by 4 pts.
