Sadly, that points out how ordinary ROB has been the last 2 weeks. That was also against Burgess, not Witts.

I wonder how Nicks and the coaches will review that first 15 minutes? 10 scoring shots to 2 plus a goal disallowed and one of the misses was from 10 metres. Could have been all over.
Sloane got the next centre clearance and really willed himself on the contest from that point on, dragging our midfield with him.
Our defenders lifted their intensity after being led to the ball and reactive early. We conceded 10 scoring shots from the first 13 I50 entries... and only 13 from the next 45 for the rest of the game.

ROB started to get a little more involved in the game this week at least
Still looks down on his best

I did laugh when the push and shove was going on at qtr time, Rowe singled out Rankine and gave him a mouthful. Then after the final siren he chased after him and shook hands.

To be fair to Tex, he's in the kind of form where he legitimately thought the he could score from back there
I'd probably back him to do it at the moment, actually 
I just love how Tex gives it to the opposition
That stoush they all had at one of the breaks, some players are trying to break it up and move the groups apart but Tex goes around the other side of the Suns to keep it going and get in their face
He’s just a big passionate kid

A win is a win. So can't take that away.
Good: character to fight the game out.
Bad: beaten badly in contested ball at times.
Ugly: it really was a game we were lucky to be still in at quarter time. Could have easily kicked 8 goals and killed the game before quarter time was even out.
Our tackling was worse again. Missed alot of tackles that killed us. Not sure whether a few players have got a bit cute and stopped trying to do the pressure acts as well.

Interesting hearing Sloane and Nicks talk about backing in the system over individual effort.

I think we are on the right track.

He knows a few of the boys from the underage days.
I think a few players all over the ground will be told their efforts and decision making were poor in that first quarter. And again after half time. I would like to see some players dropped after this week. We need to set the standard that sub par performances even in a win is unacceptable

I don't think they'd be overly happy with the start to 3 quarters TBH.
We should have been out of it after 10 minutes

Framptons a one trick pony ....can take a mark, but no better than Himmelberg
Once the balls in Framptons hands his reaction times are too slow ......he has no footy IQ

Not many put their hands up yesterday, as in they were very poor against South.
I'd pick RT for Frampton, and maybe Hately as the sub to give Murray a run in the 2s

So we need to make changes... none of the reserves players really put their hand up yesterday
Which means...
Thilthorpe and Hately? We can't reward sub par afl performances just because players in reserves played poor. I know what you are saying though you want players to earn their spot.

Apart from Frampton, it was ROB that frustrated me the most ......his rucking was horrible, no strategy with his tapping .....if you can call what he does tapping
His attack on the ball at throw in's and in the air for marks, was half hearted ......no real puposeful intent
McPherson having a typical 2nd year blues ....just looks off the pace ATM
Thought Hamill was much better ...and Ned starting to have an influence
Lots of things to improve upon ......but the Crows intent and never give-up attitude is praiseworthy

I'm not unhappy with our top picks earning their spots ......is Talia back this week or week after ?So we need to make changes... none of the reserves players really put their hand up yesterday
Which means...
Think the North game would be a good opportunity to bring in Thilthorpe for Frampton .....we don't lose out on that change
I think he’s saying...prepare for the Return of The DMac!
Golumless
A bigger deal out west.

I look forward to Mackay cementing himself as the key forward to lead this rebuild for the next decade.
His tap work in the 2nd quarter where we made a come back was more to advantage of our midfielders.

I maintain any selection of dmac should be a emergency only. It was bad to select him against Sydney. We are either in a rebuild in playing for finals. Thilthorpe was selected at pick 2 because he proved that he should be playing afl. Not sitting in the reserves. May as well just pump games into him and if he falters then put him back to reserves. As for any of the others I guess do we want to pump games into them or just select ok form.

Tex takes the ball-ups closer to goal as they are trying to turn him into a Hawkins who uses his body... but not the boundary throw ins & those further away from goal.
I wasn’t happy to see DMac picked vs Sydney but I’m heartened that as soon as Kelly and Brown came back he was dropped
He used to get into the team then we’d adjust other players’ roles to keep him in. Right now he’s clearly straddling the line

Frampton's ruckwork was actually better than his forward work...
