Autopsy Good win against Tricky opposition.

[Grand Uncle Horace]

You reckon he'd get dropped over Roberts?

Roberts played well in Q4 when given a decent run at tog.

Stephens had a pretty good game yesterday. 8 intercepts (#2 behind Blakey), 9 contesteds (#7), 6 tackles (#5), 2 clearances. 1 score involvement. Won 2 frees (should have been 3), didn't give away a free. Handy contribution.

I think we were down by 14 points on 3 different occasions in the first half. But we kept at it & reeled them back in each time.

I thought Stephens showed a fair bit when behind the ball (that missed fist excluded). Maybe he'll be the next struggling mid to benefit from a shift down back?

another indication of the improvement in mental toughness
more composure, less panic

I don't think Adelaide can realistically make the finals anymore. 12 wins is unlikely to be enough. Could be a good time to play them. They'll probably be flat knowing they've missed their chance.

Depending on Giants v Port, they will only be 1 win outside the 8, with us and WC in last round.

Unfortunately due to hawks upset, I think they will still believe.

In any case, crows have been hard to win against at home.

I tend to think the opposite - when we nail the set shots it builds the teams confidence and gets them up and about.

I think we are saying the same thing, just in a different way.

Good goal kicking certainly builds confidence, similar to when we miss shots (eg - Geelong game) seems to impact on confidence kicking for goal.

It’s a good thing in any case and does point to a team in form. Executing in front of goal.

Agreed was one of his better games, defensively solid and had some moments of real hardness that I haven’t seen in his play previously.

Heart in mouth stuff with him intercepting in front of key forwards. Hopefully that helps to build his confidence, doing that dirty work but having a greater impact on the game than easy touches.

Rowbottom might be one of our biggest barometers in the team. When he plays well we play well, stood up in the third and our mids followed suit.

It’s not rocket science.

Structurally we are struggling to consistently win the contested ball and clearances.

When he plays well in those two areas, it helps us immensely to play the game in our forward half.

Interesting comparing to 2017. The 0-6 start disguises the fact that after Round 14 we were 6-7 compared with 5-8 this year.

If we make finals we are actually coming from further back then we did in 2017.

Remember, after that 0-6 we only lost 2 games for the rest of the H&A, both against Hawks
