I'm shocked that the Crows are 0-3. They were a bit of a weird team last year, but I thought they deserved to beat us, they almost knocked off Collingwood twice, and were robbed of a win over Sydney. Just two of those would've seen them finish 6th.

I haven't watched them this year, but their supporters would know their team best, and everything they say makes it sound like they've been terrible.

We just need a fast start, put the crowd to bed and we should be right.

 

Turning the ball over at a frightening rate.  Also their midfield is very one paced so they have been exposed for leg speed.  If they fix their turnovers they will win games sure enough

Pressure their midfield they cough it up. Let Matt Crouch kick long all day

I reckon they are really setting themselves for these 2 games and will be looking at it as a positive i.e. rather than making two trips to Adelaide throughout the year we knock them both off.

Both are going to be tough games, but I'll back the boys in and think they will steal themselves to try go 2-0 in Adelaide.

As they should - at our best no one touches us.  If the club is taking that mindset I applaud it! 

Injuri3s are part of the game, never let them sour a win. Great test for the remaining defenders. Hawthorn were well on top for parts of qtr 2 and 3, just couldn’t score. Our ball movement is great

Petty back settled the back 6 yesterday. Tommo in and ultimately it’s about how easy the opposition get it in their 50.  Lock them down mids

How far St Kilda this year?

Prelim final?

You would be a fool to underestimate them. Some great talent coming through and well coached. 

If you have to provide excessive concessions for new clubs at this stage it says little for why you need the club.  

The answer to all your questions is money

Really enjoyed watching him today - great talent

May, now Roffey there seems to be an obsession with Collingwood 😁

Need BBB or TMac in to at the least take the top defender ala Frampton in the GF last year.

Indeed, Grundy led all players from both sides with 9 clangers.

He was good, don't get me wrong, but he was nowhere near as good as most are saying. 

It’s been a long term tactic to let the less efficient users get a lot of it. So,metimes it’s hurts the team

Give me more of that disposal efficiency

why? Why didn’t we try to get a mature physical 2nd ruckman who would be happy to play the relief role. 

Totally agree - maybe though Fullarton was the only one that was interested 

Grundy - woops

Will get worse until we address the physicality on Gawn. Clubs know there is no ready made backup.

Very funny thread this one.  Really hoping Tom goes next level and he has that opportunity.

Changing leaders would have likely brought even more external scrutiny imho.  Stability is the message here and agree with view one captain is on field focused and the other captain is off field focused. 

This is 1% about Petty and 99% about McAdam

Inspiring game - enormous

Takes the game on. Leaving him on Charlie in round 2 paid off. Well done Judd

4.5 to 1.1 in the last. If they have got the fitness program right we are every chance in September. Lions are an exceptionally good team. 

Tommo for Petty if Petty doesn’t come up.
