Yeah a week on from the Adelaide game I'd like to think the loss has blown away any semblence of laziness and all 22 will be primed for 100% effort.
If we give that I'll be happy regardless of the result.
Who can ever forget having to beat 13th placed Collingwood to make finals for the first time in 11 years and we didn't even lay a tackle in the first 20 minutes.
There's no coincidence.
Personally I'd keep Goodwin away from them pre-match. They're half asleep by the time they hit the ground. Takes them a quarter or so to wake up after being put to sleep.
I'd have Williams fire them up
This is not so simple either.
People would argue Spargo touched it and it was a Crow free. What do you do then? Go to the video review?
Not practical at all. The game would go for 7 hours. And a similar issue would arise about who touched it last....
Simon Lethlean from the AFL when they cracked down on deliberate in 2017 said all players must have endeavour to keep the ball in play.
“It is really a genuine intent to keep the ball in. Players must make every endeavour to keeping the ball in and if they haven’t they are likely to get a free kick paid against them.
The free should have been paid against the Crow player not Lever
