Ted Lasso

still a couple of years off I think

our first rounder is probably going to be towards the pointy end again so gives us a good position if these blokes stay up for grabs

I just think it's nerves trying to carry the team in his first 3 games, his kicking is normally very solid.

Have it on decent authority that his issue is to do with a his back/shoulder, had a bit of strapping there on the weekend

Our midfield is so one paced it really worries me, we are stocking up on inside players but have no outside speed

9 of 12 quarters this year we have either seriously competed or been the better side, we need to identify the lapses early and find a way to avoid them or at least limit the damage til we can get out [censored] together

Michie would surely be next in line for us.

How about... Adelaide football club a team that thinks they are a premiership contender were pushed and out muscled on their own turf by a team with 10 players of 40 games or less playing, if not for some Melbourne skill errors the crows might well have lost

Depends which Melbourne shows up, strong 4 quarter effort means we should push them

Hahaha I cracked up when I heard Walsh say that, your best player danger got smashed In every sense of the word. Tex your captain was soundly beaten despite his goals You never got your system going against a side who finished 17th last year at your home game We take our chances and we probably won that game. Claps for phil.

Reckon bernie might get looked at for a couple of bumps? Start brayshaw on the field and swap frost for michie or grimes

Jack has been better this year, not great today but his work rate has improved.

Umpiring was awful. Danger takes three Melbourne players out of play with an unrealistic marking attempt that got nowhere near the ball, and he didn't even put his hands up to mark resulting directly in a tex goal, apparently that sort of thing is within the rules. Watts dropped mark was huge, he marks that and it may have saved 3 Crows goals at an important time, maybe the crowd shuts up a bit and jesse and jeff aren't as put off by the crowd

I like the aggression by our boys! To become great again every other team needs to hate us and hate playing us.

How good has bernie Vince been? Love him getting into danger!

For sure, he's a quality ruckman, clearly an area we need to improve. If he didn't cost us much is jump at it.

Nathan jones is a far better leader/ captain than Ablett imo, not in the same league as a player though. He is very good but Gary is something else.

Too top heavy, frost needs to either play a key post or be replaced by a genuine runner imo

I'm sure his off field influence and experience has been huge for the club, and he is a good bloke but he frustrates the hell out of me, he's paid big dollars to take marks and kick goals, he's not doing either, and I get out delivery isn't fantastic but hogan is already averaging 2 goals a game at AFL level, I hope Dawes can lift his game and start having a more serious match day influence consistently

Toumpas is also 21 Dawes is what 27? Reckon 6 extra years experience, 6 pre seasons and 6 years of good coaching probably makes a slight difference.

F$&@

He did just give Jeremy Cameron an absolute bath in a game where he had enough quality inside 50's to kick a bag against a lesser opponent, he exectued the basics beautifully and consistently and for mine is playing the sort of footy chip did in his AA year

Tommy Mac vs tex should be a fantastic contest

I just hope brayshaw starts, give the kid 3 quarters he's already winning his own ball and making an impact

We have been chasing Dylan Shiel hard over multiple seasons, fair chance we go again at seasons end
