Afl 2010

[SLED]

Why hasn't anybody posted in here today??!........too many Crows supporters on this site me thinks!

Seriously though, one thing they have going for them (as Craigy said) is that it's only February.

On the other hand, Port have to maintain that thru the season proper.........I'm yet to be convinced

[writeoff]

Port were way too good yesterday. The score actually flattered the Crows as I think they were gifted 3 goals by the umps. I'm not overly concerned except for the attitude and approach of the Crows to the game. As I said in my OP this is the Mickey Mouse Cup, it counts for 0. But well done to the Power as they needed to win given the current situation with both the PAMFC & Power.

Not sure who was missing from the Power line up as I was really only paying attention to their youngsters for DT & SC purposes but the Crows had Bock, Tippet, Scott Thompson & Porplyzia missing. Those 4 will make a difference to the team but if they approach any AFL game with the same attitude as yesterday then they will get flogged like they were yesterday.

But it is only February and I remain confident that it will be a good year for the hoops (depending upon injuries).

[SLED]

didn't see the game Dave, but I don't think Tredders and a few other seniors were out there.

I reckon it was more important for Port to win yesterday than the Crows given the current situation at Alberton.......a loss to the Crows will be swept under the rug and be referred to as a loss in a Mickey Mouse comp, but on the other hand, if Port lost yeasterday, the ramifications would've been far greater.

At the moment, Port needs to win regularly in any comp just to appease the supporters and the money men.

Poor Ben Nason, sickening to watch!

Very true. I must admit I'm a little shocked by the result although I didn't think the crows would piss it in either.

Huh!!!

Who are these people?

Where were they last year?

No Warren Gary, Mots or Broges (amongst others) and still able to manufacture watchable footy for the first time in over 12 mths!

Not to mention that 4 of 5 of our BOG's were part of the old brigade....again, where were they last year, lol?

I'm thinking Boak, Cloke & Carlile will be players to watch this year.

Not alot of my attention goes into this competition. Was good to see Port manufacture a decent win tho.

[ISC-Performance]

Just thought I'ld bump this thread and say GOOOO FREEEOOOOOO!! Was good to see them play well (has been a while). Looking forward to seeing how there new players go for the rest of the season seeing Barlow had 34 disposals and 2 goals in his AFL debut! Morabito and Silvagni also played well in there first game.

[Damo_R34]

yeah well done to Freo, they played well and showed it to an undermanned, underperforming crows.

6/8 for me, and 1843 in DT, spewing, couple of key players didnt get a gig.

[SLED]

Ryan, I can see your mob doing great things this year if they can keep up that sort of intensity.

Their harrassment of the Adelaide boys was relentless....they can and will upset some top sides with that brand of footy.

Big question is, can they maintain that form interstate......history proves they are one of the worst travelling teams in the comp.

Crows fans....still too early to judge IMHO.

[TALBO]

Adelaide simply didn't even deserve too win yesterday, no real excuses either!

[SLED]

I'm pretty sure most sides will have games they'd rather forget this year......how frequent that occurs is the key.

I reckon Adelaide coaching staff will be studying that video all week...........and Port boys will do the same re the last quarter.

[Damo_R34]

Crows just didnt play well, no excuses apart from having a couple out. They are capable of playing a far better quality of football, but isn't that the trick for the other 15 teams too

Pete, Port just cant shake that last quarter slump that has almost cost them plenty of games.

Pretty early days, can't really tell who has the early jump on the competition. Look out for the Hawks, Lions and Dogs. I have a feeling Crows will be sub par this year, not by much, but enough to see them out early in September again. Itll be a real shame because some of the older guys havent got long left.

[Luciano]

collingwood are looking tough too

[SLED]

yeah they took a gamble by hanging onto all the old fellas this year cause by September they're gonna see a mass exodus me thinks.

[SLED]

There's a few tough ones this week:

Crows vs Sydney........AAMI

Eagles vs Port........Suby

Bombers vs Freo.......Etihad

Hawks vs Cats......MCG

Thoughts??

[TALBO]

There's a few tough ones this week:

Crows vs Sydney........AAMI - Adelaide.... BUT, will be close if Adelaide play like last week.

Eagles vs Port........Suby - West Coast (they're at home)

Bombers vs Freo.......Etihad - Bombers ( Freo might get cocky and don't travel well)

Hawks vs Cats......MCG - Hawks

Thoughts??

I don't know shit, so don't go by any of the above

[SLED]

those boys were trying to give me a coronary last night!!

Pies v Dees....should've been 100 points, NOT 1!!!!

Collingwood deserved to lose that no doubt...talk about injustice.

Kangas....bottom 3 material....maybe even bottom 2!

[mid life crisis]

whoooo hoooo go the power :-)
