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
We dominated clearances after half time, out tackled them, and out ran them even after a 6 day break and 2 weeks of travel. Only poor conversion cost us the game.

Re: R12 Game thread v Adelaide
That's fair enough. Couldn't see how there would be anything else but a rout when they lead by 5 goals half-way through the last. Amazing to get within a kick. But of course. we shouldn't have been 5 goals down with the chances we blew. Having said that, Adelaide missed a few as well.Austinnn wrote: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!

Their fans are a-holes. Would've thought they'd lost the way they were booing at the end. What a pack of...

Milera has played only about one good game.

St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: R12 Game thread v Adelaide
Hard to know what to take from that.
We have so much character - never say die. It's great. But in reality all we did was hang on all game...again.
Given our schedule I can't really criticise that effort.
But I do question the gameplan, and our kicking for goal. The first because getting into a shootout against the crows, who these same players have easily locked down time and time again, was always playing into their hands. The second because we've seen it in crucial games time and time again. It's a massive handicap.
Anyway, exciting to watch (although not so tonight i felt), and hope we hit round fourteen fresh and hungry and sharp.
I want to see us in the finals. More than once.

Yep disgraceful behavior, booing all night, rage and hate on their faces- yet they probably had 4-5 goals directly or indirectly from frees/50m pen, not to mention frees not paid....
