Sloane
Danger

Douglas a shadow of his former self since his ball slice - just a step too slow and those up and under kicks ffs!
Our small defenders in Jaensch, Brown and even Laird are being caught out especially on the rebound -keep your feet and watch where your opponent is!
Ugly
Rutten -mate I love you but what's happened?
Those three guys in flouro
Porps another club legend, sad to see how it's turned out.

Ok, a real early call, but Brad Crouch must be some sort of chance to become one of the greatest Crows of all time. 40 touches. That was his 19th game all time, and his 3rd back from a broken leg.
Has any player got 40 touches in a game in one of his first 20 games? Let alone against the Premiers?
Stamp his contract now with WILL PAY WHATEVER HE WANTS.

3rd quarter, 11 scoring shots to 0 at one point? not good enough.
Porps out for M.Crouch next week. P.S. I hate the sub rule. You want to get full games into Lyons and Crouch rather than being sub fodder.

189 kicks 221 handballs
Handball under pressure .......Hawks composed under pressure .....Crows handling hot potatoes, no composure
That's it in a nutshell
As much as Sando keeps saying to penetrate deep into the forward 50 , we KEEP ON going shallow and turning the ball over
Players under pressure choosing to kick short OR bombing aimlessly into the forward 50 .......just lack of composure
There's no doubt the Crows fell out of the game coinciding with Scott Thompson falling out of the game with injury .......he's a super clearance player and with him gone Hawks got easy clearances and scored heavily
Martin ......best game for the club EVER ...if there was any doubt about getting another contract, that was dismissed tonight .....for a player living on the edge of getting delisted was super composed and made good decisions
Sloane ......That's leadership with capital letter LEADERSHIP!!!
Podsiadly .....Elite Crow you wanted to know when JPod EVER took a contested mark & to let you know when he does .......did you watch tonight
Dangerfield ......obviously playing under duress and unable to use his pace .....he gave everything out there
Douglas ......... a long way off his best form ...just not running the lines and his pace is not being used ...poor game
Otten .........what do you say, game from hell ...his confidence was shot halfway thru the first qtr
Jenkins .......I'll be the odd man out here, but does 5 goals outweigh his NON EXISTENT DEFENSE?? .....maybe just
Crouch .......just confirmed tonight HE IS or WILL be our best midfielder ...yes better than Sloane & Danger....just makes the right decisions every time
Wright .......one i think floats in & out of games and kicks too shallow .....stand by my view he is tradeable & has good trade value ...not essentail moving forward
Jeansch ......for all his good disposal, under pressure he makes bad decisions & panics
Smith .......the debate rages, HB or midfield? Sando in the last qtr screamed when Tex marked the ball 25 mtrs out due to frustration of us NOT going deep into the forward 50. If anyone will consistently kick it deep, low and accurately it's Smith ......get him on a wing permanently
Henderson .....2nd game back ...enough said & he'll be better for the run
Defense ....The whole defense minus Rutten & Talia showed a distinct lack of composure, panicking, and constantly turning the ball over with wrong options. How about snappy handballs rather than loopy handballs.
Finally ...about 20 smothers to 2 smothers by the Crows & shows a whole different level of pressure. We conceded possession to easy, a big lesson to be learnt from tonight .....IMO we'll be much better for the rest of the season from tonights lesson.
No doom & gloom

Gold Coast, North and the Pies win this weekend we're gone. Simple.

Yeah fair comment and that's just it - we don't really put a hard tag on anyone. While Dangerfield was great tonight he didn't really hurt us significantly, if you went back and watched our game against Gold Coast you would see Ablett gets a heap of it but his possessions were not that influential. We seem happy to let players rack up touches as long as they don't hurt us. Conversely we never seem to have anyone that racks up large numbers (even over 30), not sure if this is a conscious thing. I guess it used to worry me but not anymore and it certainly isn't something that is spoken about as a concern amongst our supporters. Hope that answers your question.

Douglas - what's wrong as cost us 3 turnover goals.
Hendo - gave up 2 turnover goals.
Rutten - should not have played as unfit when we have lt & Hartigan.
Otten - got murdered early by class of gunston
We were desperate, hawks were classier.
Btw.
Pods - monstered hawks defenders.
Jj made most of his chances - no waste.
Lynch - cost us 2 scoring shots with dumb decision making - very UN-lynch like.
Crouch & sloaney tried their guts out in the midfield.
Hope hawks win the flag.
Hendo - gave up 2 turnover goals.

A bigger deal out west.
Good:
Danger: Inside work was dominant, but even then that would of been the least damaging 40 disposal game he had. A shame.
Sloane: Was everywhere, his defensive work is great.
Crouch: 40 disposals for a 20 year old... what, even.
Smith: Pretty strong game, got heaps of the ball. Seems like a dominant wingman.
Jacobs: did his bit
Pods: First half was great, faded a bit though.
Jenkins: 5 goals, thought he'd end up with 7-8 before Hawks turned on the screws.
Points of that game we really took it to the Hawks.
Bar 1-2 decisions, umpiring was good. Well... good considering who was out there.
Bad:
Henderson: Just made bad decisions all game, cost us a couple of goals and his good kicking was notably absent.
Douglas: Was very sloppy. Needs a week off to get his head right.
Porplyzia: Shouldn't of been picked. Had no impact and had no chance to.
Lynch: Love the guy but that was a pretty terrible game.
Hawks: They are a very classy outfit. How i wish we were at their level.
Ugly:
Jenkins being nearly injured... glad he recovered though.
Oh Ray. Got spooked about the siren eh?
The way we were suffocated, two big periods of time they were murdering us.
Rain coming in 45 minutes after the game.

Hawks were very good. Even under strength they cut teams up with their disposal. We were also very good, for the most part. Just couldn't match it with one of the best in the comp. Played a risky game plan, which we played very well. We just didn't have the same class and Hawthorn capitalised on our errors.
Good:
Crouch. Bog for us. Guy had a lethal handball. Maybe searches for it too often. Excellent in the midfield tonight against quality opposition.
Sloane. Arguably bog with crouch. Effort is ridiculous every week and his disposal has improved. Excellent defensive work and contested marking.
Dangerfield. Wasn't highly effective but kept in the game and won a lot of important contested possessions.
Jacobs. Some excellent taps and great around the ground touches. Would be up there for the bnf.
Brown. Wins one on ones and was composed with the ball. Except for that one handball.
Jenkins. Took his chances. Good haul for him.
Pods was good.
Was Talia on rough head? If so good job.
Bad:
Jaensch. Poor defensively.
Betts. Couldn't get near it.
Otten. Getting beaten so often.
Hendo was good and bad. Some poor kicks, which he is known for. Also makes some really good decisions and will get better with more game time.
Douglas. Hard to summarise how he is going. Just doesn't do anything effective. Can't get space, which has always been his strength. Wish he could find form.
Martin wasn't great. Just ineffective.

The club needs to make some clinical decisions or we will continue to hover around the bottom of the 8

Not quite good enough I'm afraid. One thing that is really a concern is our continued lack of ability to clear the ball from a opposition behind. This whole process needed a complete rethink.

I'm still gutted that we missed our chance to land Gibbs. Tonight showed - again - how badly we need quality disposal like his.
Betts and Douglas were terrible tonight; awful, awful, awful. Their turnover just after Jenkins had put us in front was a game changer; we were never in it after that.
