Forward entry hasn’t been flash for Weid and Tmac

At this rate the dogs midfield will smash us next week. 

It's the game we need to lose to beat the doggies next week.

I'll show myself the door now.

Signing off for the night.

The lack of pressure from the mids and high half forwards is the problem more than those missing from the backline. 

Yes that too. But Crows have also gotten more goals from clearances. I don’t think we got our match ups right. May needs to play high on Walker. 

It's half time. Take a chill pill. If we don't turn up in the 3rd quarter then I'll be worried. And then there's always the fourth.

Yep especially in our forward half.  Kozzie & Spargod rarely sighted.  Both having a mare need to get VERY busy in the second half.

Once again, Lever doesn’t take the simple first option and butchers it.

They're in his head today.

Getting beat on the outside back line seems to be not gelling tonight. Bombing ball into fwd 50. Just need to reset 

Not enough our small forward pressure players:

Spargo

AnB

Pickett

Need a ton more from them.

May be the slump we need to have. Can't see us beating Doggies on current form. It's all good.

Just remember how much this mob were up against Hawthorn some weeks ago and still ended up losing. Look at how Hawthorn have gone since too. It was level-ish at half time when we played Adelaide last season and we ended up flogging them (even though it wasn’t a real season). Let’s see how we adjust in the second half.

They are cutting up our zone 

Their footskills having been really good for a bottom 6 side. Not allowing us to set up our defense.

Delilah?

If there's any consolation, we played like rubbish in the first half and are level...

Were we too confident dropping Brown?

The bombing inside 50 in good weather would actually suit him. He has a great reach. 
 

I don't think may has been all that great today either. Dropped a sitter not manning up properly and not being as reliable today

the problem is starting in the middle Our pressure just isn't there. We need to lift because we've allowed the Crows to play their game, they're now up and about and full of confidence. 

We do like a challenge but if you keep tempting fate eventually you'll come undone.

100% Some of their youngsters coming through are really good kicks. If the ball is coming through that quick no defence will stop it.

Considering Adelaide's transition and pace, I think it was the right call. Brown's defensive deficiencies are no secret.

Trac makes up for his error. Well done.
