Lock in Crows for bottom 4.
I've seen enough. They are going backwards. Look lazy, unfit with not much going around the ground.

Crows aren't making finals. Got Melbourne and Carlton next. Can't see them winning either of them.
Adelaide officially score less than we have in a game this year. They tanking?
Crows were the highest scoring team last year and still missed the 8. So their defence is awful.
Walker was lucky to still be on the list last year after some really poor seasons and had a career year but has reverted and they've lost Thriller too.
Seems obvious in hindsight they might struggle

Didn't Walker kick close to a third of his goals last year against our spudly team?
Think the Crom (and most of SA) were convinced they would continue to improve and drank a fair amount of their own bathwater during the offseason.
What they forgot was that R.Sloane and T.Walker would be 34 before the end of 2024, with B.Smith, R.Laird and M.Crouch 32, 30 and 29 respectively.
And they never addressed any of the existing deficiencies in their defence - indeed they let it get weaker when T.Doedee walked out to join Brisbane.
Rather than take another step up, they now look very slow, can't defend when the opposition gets momentum, and without much in the younger ranks breaking through into the midfield, they appear at real risk of falling off the staircase entirely.

Even without that he was still 50 + goals so good for 2-3 per game.
That nearly doubles their score today
It's not being shut down by the Lions board gestapo, so I'd say there's a fair bit of truth to it. Looks like Rayner has split from his mrs. Some conjecture whether Hipwood has split from his mrs, but they listed their place for sale recently.
Cameron has been a shadow of himself this year.
Separate to this. Also a rumor that Fagan read the riot act to the lot of them this week, as off field standards are rumoured to have slipped.
Finally, Fagan has never ever thrown a player or the team under the bus in a post match press conference. He sort of did last night.

A team that fractures off field is screwed
My long held belief is that issues developed within the West Coast playing group during the first hub in 2020 that by the midpoint of 2021 became festering sores. What followed was us tumbling out of finals and a 2021 B&F speech by Simpson talking about unity/having each others backs
If the rumours are true, Fagan has a massive job on his hands

We're 3 rounds in, mathematically if you win all 3 games its likely your opposition has lost all their games too.
Just seems like a meaningless point to make so early on.
Like wow GWS beat Collingwood and north at home as well as us and Port have beat us and checks notes Richmond!
Oh the inequality
I have a different opinion on that, but that's for another time.
Fagan might not be the man up for this job. And that's scary for a lot of Brisbane fans.
Things have slowly gone down hill since Noble left for North. First problem was appointing an assistant coach under Fagan, as Noble's replacement, and in theory Fagans direct boss.

OOC - Have you guys checked your trophy cabinet recently?
I noticed Freo were waving 3 flags on the roof of the stadium today, but I didn't think they had any.
Did they steal yours?

Fremantle are sloppy but they back each other in and work their arses off to make the poor handball or kick work. They run hand to give their team mates an option..a fair bit of "making their own luck" going on.
I think they will still be bottom of the 8 or just miss but they are light years ahead of us.
Really like Amiss. They have landed a good one there for sure after a lot of misses.
Called it early when we played out preseason game. Crows are going nowhere again this year.
