So…
First half was wild, second was appalling.

Two thoughts:
Was it because they were completely outcoached my McRae

Or

They lost every single bit on presence & intensity they had in the first half?

Overall: when the odds were in their favour, they lost.

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@VardyMagic I am well thanks VM.

I’d like to call out second efforts in the match - the sheepherding was great, continual chase, I’ll be locked in on Thursday night.

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@VardyMagic
Well, it’s been a while again VM, how are you?

Why is Adelaide looking half slick? Sticking tackles, consistent effort (throughout quarters) minimal drop in pressure per quarter & increased cohesion?!

Sort of excited & have some hope! Here we go Pies!

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@VardyMagic

Well…. Always hopeful… but I think it’s time to turn off.

Haven’t been overly impressed with Charlie Edwards this afternoon.

Also noting significant ball handling issues.

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@VardyMagic VM! You Couldn’t have said it better.

There’s a very odd dynamic in that team at the moment & lack of execution.

I’m not really sure what to say?

Blues v crows on Thursday night.
My feelings: 🤷

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@VardyMagic
A big game tonight VM, big outs for both teams, embarrassing record against the cats at Skilled…. Should I even watch?

Who am I kidding, I’m a tragic Crows supporter. 😂🫣😂

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@VardyMagic @Adelaide_FC VM! The only reason I get on twitter is to see your tweets & say hello!

Firstly, that was impressive on Saturday night. I had no enthusiasm to watch that game, but did in the end.

New ruck looked solid and I thought there was good dash about them.

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@VardyMagic Ahhhhhh….. whoops. 😬
Might have been my bad interpretation at the time of writing.

😂 Sorry VM 🫣
Who would Rash replace?

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@VardyMagic Monday Night Chat VM!
Rach at the potential expense of Laird?

Hasn’t played since round 17.

Not sure how I feel about it. No pressure, but Rach would want to have an absolute blinder…..

@VardyMagic There has to be something said for the pies coaching staff. They shut down every player on the crowd has had or had the potential to impact the game. Thats genius and what is required for finals football.

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@VardyMagic VM…. That was rough.

I love Max, but his time out showed last night. My concern with Rash is simply that he always runs HOT or COLD. After being out for an extended period, he will be like Max - rusty.

Rash is not the answer.

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@VardyMagic another big couple of weeks!

How do you feel about Thursday night? No Ranks, pies probably learnt thier lesson, McRae knows how to coach!

Not sure how I feel. 🤷‍♂️

I’ve got my order in; chicken wings & beers on the couch, whisky if they win!

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@VardyMagic Been a while VM. Don’t get on X a lot, but interesting few weeks been & an interesting few ahead. Really impressed with their ability to turn it all around in Q2.

Spectacular individual efforts too.

Keep Calm and carry on…. 😉

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

Alright @VardyMagic
I hope you are well mate. :) Onto the Showdown;
This is a massive game for both teams.
The first 10 minutes will decide the game.
If the crows don’t match the physical intensity early - they will lose.
Butters, Francis - need to be shut down early. 😬

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@VardyMagic @Adelaide_FC @GWSGIANTS Nope, nope and….. nope! 😂
But it will be good to see them, be at the Adelaide oval and experience the crowd.

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@VardyMagic

Bit the bullet VM. Drove back to Adelaide from Canberra to watch @Adelaide_FC clash against the @GWSGIANTS

Going to be a tough game, tough assignment, but really looking forward to seeing them play.

Hope you’re well VM. #aflcrowsgiants

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@VardyMagic There were so many great signs, intercept marks were insane, reading the play in general was unreal…. But to Geelongs credit, they just rose to the occasion.

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@VardyMagic
Well VM……..
Hard to sit still on the couch.

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@VardyMagic VM, welcome to 2025! I hope you are well mate.

So….. the debate begins! I’ve watched the two first games against undermanned sides. I will say that they look alive for once. Sure, let’s see them against hawks/cats/gws.

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@Gillythedog @VardyMagic Just for my New Year’s resolution VM…. Start reading my tweets before I send them. Lol. 😂

*The Crows don’t have…..

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

Hey @VardyMagic
So…. I hate did you think of last night? Should I ask for your thoughts in emojis only - just for some fun? 😂

Nahhh…… buts here’s to a very long off season hey. 😒

[The_RushFire @TRushfire]

@Gillythedog @VardyMagic It’s an interesting point & I’ve said this to VM for a couple of years now….. the crowd done have enough blue colour in them and when they come up against a physically harder side, they crumble.
