Autopsy Crows thrash swan (don’t worry tho, this game won’t define us)

[The King!]

Grundy well done

If the fans drop off the second we get shit, thats a bit sad

Probably the most difficult market in the world tbh with so much sports happening in the one state. No excuses tho, other fans like those of the Dees and Tiges have stuck through hard times

 

[TasSixer]

Curious the positive spin the True Bloods boys will put on this

Watching the last 2 excruciating games, I don't blame fans for dropping off

we were more watchable in 2019-2020

honestly i cant believe i watched the entire ****ing game, ive never been even close to turning it off until todays game

 

[TheGoatBaron]

I can relate with this parrot right now

 

[GoulburnSwan]

Credit to the crows by the way, don’t want our doom and gloom to take away from how good they are

to be honest the game between them & lions next Friday will be a ripper.

 

[Citrus22]

Chad had the worst 12 clearance game ive ever seen, it’s actually kind of impressive

 

[strauchanie59]

The bronx cheers when we scored a point in the 2nd quarter says it all about where we are at.

Nothing to get excited about, no visible game plan, no changes from the coaching box, no promising youngsters coming through, senior players coasting by because they know they won't get dropped.

It's all a bit dire at the moment.

Don't get me wrong Adelaide played some class football tonight. We didn't look ever like competing with them in any facet of the game anywhere on the ground.
The players should get dragged down to Cronulla tomorrow and forced to run the sand dunes until they are in serious pain and throwing their guts out. And that's the standard ongoing , you put up that sort of crap you get punished every time.
Dont give a s#$t if anyone does a hammy or injure themselves.
Took the absolute p##s out of the supporters tonight.
Grundy only one that looked in the contest.

 

[Bloods86]

Out: Hamling Lloyd Bice Corey
In: Buller Mills Leidler Hanily
Sub: Not Cleary

Play Adams in midfield or don't play him.

 

[Citrus22]

Grundy, Melican and McInerney are probably the only ones who played consistently all night

I do , i don't disagree it's shit, but you suffer through it, we have been mostly good for decades

 

[Bloods86]

Rubbish. People here during the week were saying that as bad as we were we were still only 2 wins away from the 8

That's not what you just said though. You said people were saying "all is good". No-one was saying that.

 

[strauchanie59]

If the fans drop off the second we get shit, thats a bit sad

It's not even that we are shit, it's the fact we're so uncompetitive and unwilling to contest the ball.

Pay so much for membership and so much on gameday just to get there. This team is just so unwilling to do the hard yards and show that they genuinely care.

 

[GoulburnSwan]

Our team did well when we had crap training and club facilities. Now we have facilities that like a fancy day spa with 5 star everything. We’ve gone soft. They need to train with the Goulburn swans in arctic conditions. No fancy air conditioned sheds here in Gtown.

 

[MF]

The list is in this situation now

West coast years await us it is that bad.

That's incredibly pessimistic. Our list really isn't anywhere near that bad.

 

[grimlock]

Chad had the worst 12 clearance game ive ever seen, it’s actually kind of impressive

12 clearances
7 turnovers
21% disposal efficiency

Yep I get it but thick and thin, I think we have a strong core

 

[BarneyBent]

I don't think dropping players en masse sends the right message after a night like tonight, because there's no way we can drop enough players that deserve it. Plus we don't have enough players to come in. Also our failures were ultimately structural across the whole ground, not really down to a lack of effort per se.

Instead I'd prefer we keep changes to a minimum and instead put the onus on the players to respond. We saw a glimpse of spirit at the start of the second half. Challenge the team to build on that and respond next week. Swinging the axe would just be shifting chairs on the titanic.

 

[strauchanie59]

At least in 2009, 2019 and 2020 we had some green shoots to get excited about when we had down years outside the 8. There's nothing to be positive about looking ahead, apart from Errol returning.

 

[Tommy221987]

I'm trying to think of a positive or some upside to come out of tonight's came. But there's literally nothing.

 

[kickthething]

Losses are not the problem….the way we look is massively concerning. I would be more excited as a Norf supporter right now. We are being so easily outplayed it’s looks like effort and competitiveness are out the window

 

[The King!]

The worry is chuck Paps Gulden Mills Mcdonald etc out there and it's not going to be much different , this is a bigger issue , maybe i'm wrong , but I am doubting it's going to matter as much as we hope .

 

[WillHayward]

Remember the "GF was just one game". narrative

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

No the baby is ****ed.

No idea how we fluked making that GF.

The list is so cooked. Too many mistakes.

In a close competition you can't afford to **** up so many draft picks and then not recruit anyone good in a decade.

I mean what do people think is going to happen?

 

[The King!]

Longer contracts suck
