The one wood not going well today.

23 clearances to 15, including 8 to 3 centre clearance.

Bombing down the line and then getting opened up when Adelaide win it at ground level.

Poor delivery going inside 50.

Walsh and Cerra need to lift.

Hewett and Cripps mostly delivering but need support.

Crows have thrown Rachele in the guts and he's winning his fair share of clearance.

Rankine slicing through at around the ground throw in clearances.

Motlop
Lord
Carroll
White
Ollie
Acres

Should I keep going? It might be easier to list the players who don’t need to have a hard look at themselves

Our midfield are stuck at the Tulla boarding gate... hope they arrive before the start of the 3rd qtr

Crows marking everything (we seem to be helping them out)... total control of this game

That last goal seals the game imo... damage control from now on

They are absolutely slicing us up. We look clueless.

Some of our ‘efforts’ are disgraceful.

Midfield getting slaughtered and forwards not doing enough.

Can’t move the ball. Be the same next week against St K.

As soon as the expectations rise they produce this crap.
It happens time and time again.
Most mentally weak group of individuals playing in the comp.

This will be a slaughtering after half time

I think I could count on one hand how many possessions our small forwards have had inside 50. Not getting involved enough.

Why are we so uncompetitive against Adelaide in Adelaide

There should be an inquiry as to why we hardly turn up when playing them over there

We can't move the ball quickly, because no one's running. Clearly we're missing Cottrell more than we realise.

Getting monstered in the air and on the spread. Makes it pretty hard to compete.

Charlie seems to have forgotten he's a tall forward. Keeps sagging out the back and refuses to compete in marking contests.

Crippa and Saad have been good. Weiters, Elijah and Haynes alright. And that's about it.

Running players with 5 disposals or less: Durdin, Lord, Carroll, Docherty, Motlop, Fogarty, White. And Fogarty is the only one laying any tackles.

Opposition getting a lot of frees at stoppages. It's one way to hinder our strength. Get the crowd and umps involved.

Motlop 1 (from a deliberate free kick)
Durdin 0
Lord 2
Fogarty 5
White 5

Trash. How many of these guys would get a game at other clubs?

Lot of pushing out in the marking contests being permitted as well.

Pretty sure we've seen this game plan before. Flood back. Wait for the long bomb. Win the footy and take off forward. Rinse. Repeat.

Also they are chipping the ball no more than 20 metres at a time through the middle of the ground and we are completely out of position in the backline

Also some pretty average individual efforts. Acres in prime position, outmarked. Cooper Lord just had to spoil that ball out of bounds in the last 30 seconds that ended with Dawson marking on the boundary line.

Couple it with Tex, Dawson and Rankine having their usual picnic on the Blues and we're 6 goals down and seemingly without an answer. Let's wait for Keays to start kicking them from his anus to complete the day

At least it hasn't been the Ben Keays show as usual. It's usually either him or Tex. Often both.

It'd be nice if our coaching panel showed they could come up with a new plan against Crows. Obviously missing SOJ who would have taken Tex.

On the bright side, we never again have to hear commentators start a sentence with "they've won every first half, and yet..."
