If you look at raw numbers, which our coaches do, it'll say we won clearances easily.The classic is we have Godden stating we won’t see Crouch, Crouch and Sloane again and Hart saying we like speed in there. So what do we do for practically the first half? Crouch, Crouch and Sloane. In the last qtr when we were desperate we rotated Atkins, Milera and Smith in there but for only one bounce and kept at least 2 of the 3 in there.
They provide no spread and hack it.
I would trade Matt.
Could see it early.Quick attacking handball killing us
And inability to tackle.
When is that rule coming in????

Tackling has a lot to do with mindset. We tackle when it's easy to do soCould see it early.
When we got 5 goals up Essendon flicked the switch and went hard with the attacking handball and forward movement.
Our biggest issue is the lack of defensive ability among our mids.
Sloane
Crouches
Milera (hate to say it)
Atkins
Et el
None of them can physically stop a player.
I am not talking about a slow tackle in a stoppage. But when one on one on the fast break hitting a guy and stopping him.
Has nothing to do with age or body speed. It is poor technique.

Yeah could agree with this more and unfortunately not many blokes that play for the crows have the mindset.Tackling has a lot to do with mindset. We tackle when it's easy to do so
Against Port you said our midfield was putrid because the clearances were 45 - 27 in Port's favour....and i50's were 66 - 42 in Port's favour.Can we agree now how putrid our midfield is?
im putting the house on b, nothing will be.If this isn't a catalyst for REAL review and change at all levels within the club, then nothing will be.
I’d love to see the stat for effective clearances, they win it and spread, we win it and hack.If you look at raw numbers, which our coaches do, it'll say we won clearances easily.
Stats lie
nah way to simplistic. We have a guys like MCrouch who does nothing more than hack kick it around the corner everytime. Sure its a I50 but its rubbish. It the whole reason why Smithers, and Jnr have had to go into the middle as they can actually hit a target.Against Port you said our midfield was putrid because the clearances were 45 - 27 in Port's favour....and i50's were 66 - 42 in Port's favour.
Tonight you're saying our midfield was putrid when the clearances were 50 -28 in the Crows favour , Centre Clearances 17 - 9 in the Crows favour...and the i50's were 52 -50 in the Crows favour.
Think tonight's loss was an indication it's not the midfield that was particularly putrid, but our forward structure....and I think you'd have to agree apart from one gem of goal Tex was largely putrid tonight and Talia and Hartigan not far of it.
It’s more than just winning clearances it’s using the ball.Against Port you said our midfield was putrid because the clearances were 45 - 27 in Port's favour....and i50's were 66 - 42 in Port's favour.

You're ******* delusional Brad was our best mid by a country mile tonight.Really need to do is rebuild and have the balls to trade both the Crouch’s while they still have some value
Great. Lets trade him to gc for pick 1.You're ******* delusional Brad was our best mid by a country mile tonight.
No will be be giving a first rounder and god knows what else for Lukosius.Great. Lets trade him to gc for pick 1.
I am losing a lot of faith in Pyke, I think we need change to spark this club into action
No we dont. Even when we are winning our tackling is poor. Has been for years.Tackling has a lot to do with mindset. We tackle when it's easy to do so
Third week out of 4 with exactly the same script. Dominate the F50 entries in the first half but don't punish the opposition, then after half time we don't come back out and our total lack of a key forward who leads combined with lack of speed in the midfield means the opposition is practically begging us to kick it into our 50 so they can just walk it back past us for a goal. Also, as in the West Coast game, we give up 4 goals in the last few minutes of the game.
Commentators all say the same after the game:
The cold hard fact is that our key forwards are letting themselves and the team down, and our midfield isn't fit enough, fast enough or good enough to run two ways for 4 quarters.
- "On paper it's hard to see how they lost this"
- "Geez they dominated the F50 entries and had more scoring shots in the first half but it was a different story after half-time"
- "They'll look back on this one as a missed opportunity Adelaide"
- "They really lost the uncontested possession count and that's what hurt them"
- "It's rare to see a team win so many of the key statistics and still lose like Adelaide did tonight"
Carlton will use the same blueprint that Essendon, Port and Geelong did to lower our resistance and then smash us after half-time.
Not if we are "lucky" to kick straight for goals in the 1st half......Third week out of 4 with exactly the same script.
