Not a chance.

No been average last few weeks. Viney will replace him. Prefer Nathan Jones

[Chook 15,068]

I don't post much on gameday threads. Wow you're a negative bunch!

[Jaded No More 68,976]

Are we just exhausted? Because these sloppy skills are a big worry.

Or Oliver kick for goal

[Deesprate 1,324]

Has there ever been a more depressing 21 point half time. Team changes and travel last week has to be a factor. 

[Mickey 4,777]

We are messing around with it. Dropping marks, missing kicks. We are lucky they can't kick straight

[loges 6,767]

Gee we have some lazy players when we're favourites.

Disposal has been 💩 in perfect conditions. 

Strong wind out there. Doesn’t excuse all the kicking but some

[von 1,580]

Decision making/execution/game awareness forward of centre is a killer. We need a bowey/Salem like half forward. We cough up what would be simple possession chain goals or set shots kicking or handballing to the wrong spots a lot.

Could be better, but if you said 21 point lead at half time, I’d take it.

Better decision making moving forward will be the cherry on the sundae.

Subconsciously keeping a bit in reserve. Not surprising given the turmoil of the last couple of weeks, and the big games to come.

[Webber 10,650]

Our inability to defend their running short possession game through the middle is almost comical. They’ll lose the sniff in the second half I suspect, but it’s very frustrating, and offers a lesson in how to play us. When our all court defence is right on, it’s harder to execute, but the Crows (again a shadow of their best personnel) are making it look very easy at times. If I were Brad Scott, I’d be liking what I see.

...wait till finals

[Mickey 4,777]

Max couldn't catch a cold at the moment. His contested marking has gone backwards

Clarry needs to stop talking about what an ordinary kick he is. It’s becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Or he could work on it. Probably doesn’t see it as important. If his hand balling started go awry.....he’d then probably work on his game.

Oliver a great player but unfortunately the criticism with his kicking is 100% true and and accurate. 

Its why petracca has passed him. Trac was a sho ker too and did something about it

Clarry a brilliant engine room player though. Just dont kick inside 50.
