Clearances 15 Crows Dees 4 Q1 25mins.

Davey 4 disposals.

Two steps forward, eight steps back. Very Melbourne.

Only bright spot of first quarter is Grimes.

The guy is A - Grade material

might just tune out til the 3rd quarter when we play well for 20 mins before eventually losing the same way again...

hopeless - bailey should be embarrassed.

Does it worry anyone else that our coaching staff have been talking about our starts all year and there has been no improvement?

as soon as we highlighted in the press about our poor starts and inter-state record, I had a bad feeling

19:3 clearances Adelaide's way what a f'cking joke this absolutely crap.

Just no confidence in their team mates.

It shows up really really bad.

Smaller bodies; flogged at the clearances; not taking chances; outnumbered all over the ground; players not going hard enough; system in the toilet; losing out on the 50-50 decisions; missing targets by hand; missing targets by foot; Crow nobodies having a field day; game over in the first - just another day at SHAAMI.

What could that word you've 'censored' possibly be??

Is this a new swear word we've yet to hear? Please share..

If Miller can't kick a goal from there after 100+ game, why is he in the frigging side?

I don't buy the "we are not good enough" excuse anymore, because a team doesn't come out and draw with Collingwood if they are not good enough.

We are not just switched on, period. And for as long as we use Bruce and Bartram to deliver the ball out of the backline, we'll continue to lose with horrible, embarrassing turnovers.

Oh and Adelaide have worked out how to ruin the Jamar/Moloney ruck rover combo and so now we are screwed.

Seriously can't handle this it's dispicable an embarrassment in effort I cant handle this pathetic excuse of

a side. We deserve to be flogged relentlesly with this absolutely crap effort makes you want to rip your f'cking heart out

and stamp on it.

Deserve better from the footy side we support.

How about they all change their boots at quarter time, because nobody can stay on their f***ing Feet!

Horrible first qtr. Surely we could only get better!

I thought Davey was god trying to create. There were little positives but with a lot of players having a bad quarter there is plenty of time in the game to improve!

Thank god for Grimes. He is the only thing keeping me from ripping the TV off the wall and throwing it out the window.

So which retard in the coaches box cannot realise that Symes is absolutely smashing us and getting possesiosn at will.

Bruce is getting beaten, Scully has fallen over more times than touched the ball and grimes has missed the target more today that all year.

And please can some one tell me what Jetta offers the team? I see him running around, his tackles don't seem to stick and I have not seen him do anything worthy of being out on the ground.

Disgraceful 1st quarter. We are getting slaughtered all over the place by a very very average Adelaide team.

Gee! Don't we always look great after a bye.

"Freshened up" must mean "ready to cop a flogging".

Their poor kicking has kept us in it, still some chance, we are notorious slow starts, surely we can improve!

Surely it is time to just get take the axe to Bruce - he is wll past his best. Miller too. Bailey needs to make some hard decisions. Bartram makes too many costly mistakes every week.

You know why players slip over? Because they change directions when they should be running straight through to/with the ball.

I really do not like slagging one of our own, but have to agree, the more disposals Bruce gets the worse we are.

The stats that count

clearances 19:4

inside 50: 16:7

Contested pos 46:33

Not the young player that concern me most.

We are not going to make any real progress until we cotton on that league football is a contact sport.
