This was handballs only, we obviously handball backwards a lot.

We do a lot to Dawson
I’m assuming meters gained for handballs also includes the next possession which doesn’t add up.
We must be handballing backwards twice in a row a lot
Seems odd
Well I thought that’s what the meters gained stats includes?

We focus on Tex a little too much, a few times Thilthorpe was the better option but our first instinct is to kick to Tex

Who was it that kicked straight over a free TT to Walker in a 2 on 1? That was criminal!
It wouldnt surprise me if the game plan is to get it to Tex and he either marks it or brings it to ground for Rankine and Rachelle. Like all things its an imperfect system because its a balance. The crows game plan and fast ball movement actually suits the lead up players better than the skyball to tex. Hopefully we lower the eyes more in coming games.

It was amusing when Tex and TT both marked the same ball. Perhaps, there should have been much better separation?

Must be when he was about to take a kick in and lingered staring at the cheer squad for a while. Could tell there was some kind of untoward interaction (assumed it was a comment made)
I agree but the opposition coaches would instruct defences where possible to double team the sky ball to tex and not allow him a 1:1. So naturally this sucks other players into the context especially if thats the instruction.
Ah right i swear I've seen someone post that it included the next position, which i always thought was strange.

We badly need to give Rankine, Rachele, Pedlar, Soligo more time in there, to improve our skills and composure.

I commend the club for finally calling the AFL out about something. Pies fans saying 'get over it' like they didn't sook the whole week following round 7, which didn't even affect the result.

I think it was a pretty good sign. We were all over Collingwood at that point. My worry was that we couldn't repeat the 3rd quarter in the 4th. Sometimes you learn more from hard losses than wins. I hope we play them in the finals.

Shame you didn't get the points v the filth. Umpires made sure of that.
FWIW I enjoyed seeing Keays pulling off the big oaf's glasses.

Interesting bench
ROB actually isn't that bad a kick (results wise). It just takes him so long to kick it and he struggles to kick past 40 meters.
I think I’ve found the issue.
He’s too busy worrying about trying to do the Shaka hand signal when he kicks.

The best thing about his kicking is that he (correctly) opts not to kick it unless he absolutely has to. Other than that it's a massive drag on his game.
He's fit and imposing enough that he could play 100% game time with stints 'resting' forward. Except his kicking is so bad that he could almost be completely ignored by the defense.
