Rubbish. Most of the list hit the gear, getting caught is the only variable. Wake up.
I wouldn't say "most" of the list hit the gear but if he was the one who got Stengle involved knowing Stengle was on his last strike with the club, very poor character and leadership from a senior player.
 
A certain poster was up and about last week when Brad was eased into the game with his new club on a HFF and the result didn't get a hell of a lot of it in a badly beaten team, different story today when he was one of the Saints best contributors playing inside mid in the team's big win over the West Coast Eagles, crickets from that poster tonight.

Very low metres gain considering 50% of his 26 possession were kick so only average 20m per kick.

Well looking at prior histories and more recent events I think that might be a clue, don't think there's any "if's" involved.

So? In this instance this might have been B.Crouch's decision and got Stengle involved since he was on his last strike with the club why would he had initiated this stupid decision?, you don't know what happened or do you have insider information?

And neither do you but hey you have an agenda. History both past and recent tells you what the most likely scenario was.
 
Honestly who cares what Brad Crouch is doing now? He's gone, we've got Sam Berry as his replacement which at the moment isn't looking too bad. Time to look forward not back imo.
 
From a list management perspective, he's the mid I'd have tried hardest to keep. But the getting on the park perspective does have something to say as well. But you don't shed mid your best mid that's in their mid 20s during a rebuild based based upon good list management. You force out your Sloane's, Lynch's etc. Guys who have value to someone but will definitely not be around when you're genuinely contending again.

Idea was good, execution was terrible.

If we got pick 2, it’s genius - we just made a mess of it all and basically gave him away as a result.

Seems like the difference between Brad's best and worst is widening. He's a tackling machine when he's on, but doesn't have much impact on the game on his off days

He's still miles better than Ross/Dunstan though
 
Tigers coming off 2 losses so they hit the panicky Saints with a finals type pressure they couldn't handle. I think it's a fair result of where the two teams sit at this stage. Maybe Ratten can take them to another level but it's hard to see where the improvement will come from.

Ch7 also deserve a special mention for their post match 'entertainment', just electric, with Darcy, Selwood and Watson.

David King showed a couple of clips from the game of saints players cheating ahead of the contest ... Looking for the easy give.

They all included Brouch.

I bet Nicks would be nodding his head to that tune.

I love Brad when he is at his angry competitive best. Unfortunately, he seems to be picking and choosing when he brings that beast onto the field nowadays.
 
What's really fascinating is Brad ended up being forced out of a shitshow in Adelaide, only to end up at the team which is probably the story of the first month with how much they've imploded onfield.
