Brereton and King talking on Fox about having to take resposibility for the health of the player you are tackling. Whats the view like from the moral highground, you freakin hypocrits!!,

Who would you bring in Jaded when a small fwd goes out?

Bedford

In my 100% honest opinion I'd say we are a 10th place side. A perfectly average team. Nothing more, nothing less. 

I’d argue less.

Surely a Bedford couldn't do worse.

But it really is like switching witches hats at the moment.  We don't really have anyone better than ANB in the magoos right now.

but could he play whatever ahem role Brayshaw is currently not playing very well?

Tracc has had two times he should have kicked for goal from 55, went for the pass and stuffed both up. 
He’s had 7 touches and I know he’s not on his own, but Dusty he ain’t. 

He's been quiet these last couple of games.

One of my daughters, a keen Harry Potter fan, reckons the umps are under the Imperius Curse. A few Snape-like Crows fans with wands in the crowd, shouting ‘imperio’! As good a theory as any.

Adelaide are absolute puss. They are easily the poorest team in the competition right now and we’re just fluffing around  with it. If we don’t come out with some killer instinct in the second half and put this game to bed, this game and season is dead.

Yep, we have the players to just run right through these soft clowns but they just aren't really interested.

I expect no likes ...because most of you guys would be happy for the big H to fail.

Not me

I'm not happy to see any Melbourne player fail.

However, the bloke looks very, very timid tonight.  He needs to lift the urgency and contribute more.

Crows leading clearances

Brayshaw is like the kid who's old man drags to play footy and he's picking the daisy's from the grass.

Doesn't give a phark.

Yeah the umpiring sucks.

But let's talk about us.

We suck more.

We're barely up in CPs and down in clearances to the 0-9 basket case whose biggest weakness is their midfield.

Gawn isn't dominating hit outs, so maybe that's impacted our ability to get on top in the middle. Who knows.

I can't stand vandenBerg's OTT faux aggression. His free reversal is inexcusable.

ANB and Bennell are giving us nothing, and without Hannan and Pickett we have no forward 50 pressure.

And WHY is Brayshaw playing? 4 touches, spending time on the bench. I just don't get it. What is the point?

Have you opened up anything good yet bbo? 

Yeah a decent Coonawarra. 

Face it, Goodwin is [censored] if the highest stench.

I think most on here could play the role Gus is playing right now.  I'd be a chance of getting four touches to half time.

And people still rate our mids? 

Im rating JV.

Trac having a bad night.

We would struggle to get a third round pick for Brayshaw at the moment.

3rd in the Brownlow two years ago. How in the...

Norf will eviscerate us.

Goody pre match presser where improving and he has a plan for a premiership. There are more than half this side that are not AFL standard. It is so sad after seven years of a rebuild where back where we started. 

How's this for a number:

11 of our 'players" have had less than 5 disposals.

Bennell 1.

Are they actually doing any training while in these hubs? Or is it all golf and surfing? Skills are deplorable.

We're seeing two bottom 3 or 4 teams tonight. It is depressing how terrible we've become.

Crowns have 9 changes and multiple first gamers. Mind you we have an almost pristine injury list. This is the worst Crows side in their history and comfortably the weakest list in the league atm.

And yet we are staring down the barrel of a loss.

Unforgivable.

Yeah, "Dermie what would you.do facing this young fella Jackson in the ruck right now. Well I'd lead with the knee and make him earn it."

True, but at least I won't have to watch that [censored] Ben Brown do it.  I couldn't handle that.

Team responding to criticism not with skill and commitment but with cheap shots.
