If we're going to stick with both Kreuzer and Phillips, Kerr must replace Levi.


Phillips has given us 4 possessions. Screw this 2 ruck thing. Levi is a far better player as a forward/ruck than he is as a full time forward.

Missed the first half.
The thing that stuck out to me that third quarter was the possession game of the Crows down the line. When we had it there was nobody positioning for that twenty metre kick forward. Crows just go one two three four and then an easy F50 entry. We have to bomb it.The other thing that stood out, especially late was the short handballs to someone in traffic or flat footed in a worse position.

Marking everything in reach inside 50 certainly helps as does the face that the umpires are being influenced by the home crowd.
That McGovern mark might well have been disallowed because Rowe (I think it was) was being held down and couldn't run at the contest. Also Fisher was tackled twenty five out before he took possession resulting in the ball spilling and a goal. in a goal.

Darcy Fogarty will be a star. Dow is a long way behind at this early stage.


Believe it or not, we are down 98-50 after playing our best quarter of footy (2ns quarter) for the year.

is there a more over-rated player than Levi ?

He's seen as essential to us.....but he actually holds us back to spud level. If we're serious of improving he must go now.

It doesn't feel like a 48pt game, they are just cleaner.

I never had any hope of winning coming into this game and first quarter confirmed it was going to be flogging. The 2nd was much better and gave me hope that we could be competitive. The third was a shocker and we reverted back to old habits of loose checking, turning the ball over and wasting shots at goal. I inow we won't win but I hope we can show something in the last. Simpson has been off a bit but good to see that some of our underperforming experienced players have been dropped to show that there's some semblance of accountability emerging.

All night I've watched Cripps not handball properly. Is he injured?

Poor Curnow looked so disappointed his good work is unluckily tarnished.

Just watching the screen and putting the cursor on the best option and the players can't see it. Players running free ahead and yet it takes three or four sideways passes while the Crows are setting up.
Also, I wonder if the boys have got soap on their shorts instead of sticky stuff.

Simmo and O’Brien literally turn over the ball with every possession

Are we ever going to score 100 points in a game?

Stuff this idea of winning a game. Let's target scoring 100 points in a game.

We are a rabble.
