No-one seems to have figured out the Crows tactically yet, which is surprising. You'd think someone would work out by now how to stop them getting goals out the back. I think with a fortnight to prep they could be in trouble first week of finals.
Give me the end to end angle and I reckon I could have a stab at it, helped steer the Uni Footy Club second Colts team to a flag a few years ago. I'll crack the code.

North would have to be my second favorite team this season. After watching them go through the first half of the year undefeated now I get to enjoy watching the not win another game and hopefully finish about 12th.
This is very much a "always look on the bright side of life" moment. Yeah we aren't too flash, but we're better than North
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also on Dangerfields performance last night..Adelaide had him turning in performances like that and couldn't go anywhere with him. I reckon a certain amount of cohesion goes out the window with his one man show routine and the team gets locked into waiting for the next Dangerfield moment.

Must suck with this fourpeat anyone here like bored if hawks win it again
If we can't win the GF (doubtful but hopeful;)) don't care who else wins it with the exception of the Hawks, Geelong or Swans in that order, as they have all had their share of winning the big one over the last 10 years. Probably will go for Adelaide if it's beyond us??

I agree is it really simmo? What about bevo hes doing well too
It's never just all one person that helps a team to win a flag. It's the combination of everyone involved. Think Pyke complimented Simmo's game plan and requirements. Unfortunately Coxy (not having a go at him) is just not in the same ballpark. Pyke was a smart footballer, businessman and now coach. He most certainly was a big loss though with all his attributes. That's why Adelaide head-hunted Pyke, as they knew all about his attributes due to him having been an assistant coach at Adelaide previously.

Cox was a smart footballer, is a businessman and an assistant coach who pretty much was at every Eagles stoppage discussion for last 15 years. Is cox not better only because he looks more goofy? Why wouldn't he be in same ballpark. Stoppages aren't some rocket science thing to be honest. U can't make up some special moves as opposition will catch on.

For me it's just lack of ability. A number of players are down this year, we tried other players in there like redden who haven't worked out and missing players like sheed.
