Tackling.
Aside from Col and Bartram, our tackling has been atrocious. Our tackles are constantly broken (That is when we actually can lay the tackle) and other sides just get through us far too easily. I also want to see the midfield push back defensively because we have been even worse with the accountability in our midfield this year.

Fair point, although we were only out tackled 52-46.

Bartram is a good point, he had 6, but Bruce layed 5, TJ 4 and a few on 3 (which included Sylvia and McLean). I think what I'd like to see is the team winning some contested ball. We improved with our clearances, which we won 43-31, but I think we lack the ability to win the disputed ball.

Tackling implies that we don't have the ball.

What I want to see is us winning the clearances, in any game, ever.

Miller will probably be down back this week. I didnt know he had OP in the preseason until i read the sun today

Hopefully Danners brings in Rivers and Nicho so Miller can stay at CHF.

I doubt that. The Crows are a fantastic side, make no mistake about it, but without Welsh (and thank goodness for that!), they do not have a great deal of tall forwards.

Except I am having bad... very bad... visions of Nathan Carroll playing on Ricciuto this week!!

Perrie, McGregor and Hentschel are half-decent

McGregor will play at CHB, Mullet Carroll and Rivers for the other two.

Yeah Hentschel is in doubt.

Hope i don't see you guys dominate the clearances this week. Adelaide already haven't been as good in this department as we used to be.

Hope to give you guys a good pumping but I do wish you were performing better than you are at the moment. You guys worried about the spoon? (asking with all sincerity not trolling)

Not yet, but a couple more losses and we will be.

We still believe our list is good enough for a finals spot, we're not as bad as we have been playing. Hopefully not anyway.

What about your coach? The most significant thing I think I saw him ever do was whinge about Adelaide getting a second chance in 1998 after you BELTED us in the semi. Whats the general supporters feel on how he is doing?

99.56% want to burn him alive, 0.4% want him sacked while the rest are undecided. I feel that if we are say, where we are now (15th) at the halfway mark then he shoulld go then, and if we end up missing finals, then he should go at the end of the year

We should have dumped him 2 years ago and got Eade.

We wouldnt be sitting in 15th now, thats for sure.

Burning sounds like a quick way to end our woes... bring it on! :D
