Hold it up, let the Pies flood back before bombing it in long.

Open up the fwd line and get it in there quickly. JVR, Fritsch and Kosi play deep, kick it long, low and direct. We know the Pies will bring manic pressure early, so ….are we awake….

I thought we were past all that.

Totally agree, we destroyed all before us.

Were the qtrs shorter in 21?

It’s almost like unless we have a full list to chose from we’ve always got an excuse. If only we had a gun key fwd we’d be unstoppable, Carlton have two (McKay hit and miss but having arguably his best season to date) and there 5th. Pies won the flag last year with Miohcheck as their big man. Our gameplan is not working, we can’t score, we’ve gone from bombing it long to a congested fwd line to kicking it with more purpose to a congested fwd but so wide a lot of our marks our deep in the pockets. Our smalls have a habit of not being in the right spot.

Collingwood’s fwd line on Friday night, Hill, Schultz, Harrison, McCreery, Lupinkski & Frampton. Now compare our gameplan to theirs. Yes McAdam needs to go back to the VFL.

We’re overthinking it, I don’t think it’s our fitness or president, it’s our game plan. Yes defence is important but we have lost the ability to score. In 3 weeks we’ve gone from potentially 2nd to outside the 8. If we’re not going to change the way we play may as well shut up shop.

How did the Hawks and Tigers do it then? It’s more than that.

To me it can only be one of two things, the coach has lost the players or the gameplan is outdated and not working and the coach / coaches are doing nothing about it. The players know where they’re at in terms of premiership window, i’d be frustrated if I was playing at the club. We can keeping citing top 4 finishes the last 2 seasons but that’s starting to wear this. Again as an example, look at the way Collingwood took the game on in their on Friday night.

Considering our list, last 3 seasons including 1 flag and two other top 4 finishes (the back to back straight set exits were hard to swallow) today for me is on par with 186. Today’s result was more than embarrassing, we are a joke of a club right now. Our last 3 weeks says a lot, beaten by the Eagles, a scrappy win over the hapless Saints and today’s destruction at the hands of Freo. As alluded to by others there’s something not right inside the club right now because we are obviously not as bad as we’re playing. Todays lack of effort was a statement by the players, todays loss requires more than just a review of the game. If Goody has lost the players he has to go straight away, we are currently spiraling out of control. Look at how many players Collingwood had out on Friday night and look at how the played, speaks volumes. Absolutely no excuses, none.

McAdam couldn’t make the distance the last 2 weeks but that was put down to learning the Melbourne system.

I’m tired but that mark just taken by Daicos looked like it traveled 10 metres.

Just having a little dig WCW at you and our other resident wordsmith @Demonstone. At times like others I find it amusing when people are corrected on their misspelling of players names and other times I’m simply too tired to care. Please go easy on me as I had a sheltered childhood, I’ve spent my whole life thinking laconic was another word for lazy, wearing grey on grey was socially acceptable if you were going to the gym and in primary school I was chess champion only to have in my late 30’s, my 15 year old stepson return from school one day to challenge me to a game and perform a move known as En Passant. I had never before heard of this and thought I was being duped, a quick google search proved that this was something else I’d gotten wrong my whole life.

I’m nine years away from having the time that some on here seem to have, by which point the game will probably be stuffed anyway.

In the post game thread a couple of posters mentioned that he had 6 tackles, I was actually looking at that myself because it didn’t seem like that. He comes across as very laconic, I was hoping for another Flash. As for flying for marks, during Sundays game there was one instance where Kosi flew first and McAdam flew next and both were nowhere near it, comical.

Crows 71 Eagles 22

Stop the press Eagles have kicked a goal.

2 air hangers….🤦🏼‍♂️

Had McAdam not been spoiled by Sparrow would he of made the distance?

Sick of us leading to the pockets.

Crows doing to the Eagles what we should have.

3 players couldn’t handle the Higgins miss kick.

Very lucky Kozi dropped it cold.

Are we leading the stat for most goalless qtrs for the year?
