Then please tell me how did we improve on our negative inside-50 differential in the early part of 2016.
there are a few articles about it. Kingy was very vocal on it in May.
Even a few on BF mention the same, Crows did cop a bit of criticism about that,
What do you mean by defensive forward?
Did he play on the opponent's most dangerous defender or sid he play a more Matty Wright type role?

Pyke seemed very conservative last year.
If its because the players have gone through heaps in the last few years and it was all about bringing a calmness thats fine.
This year will be interesting. Hes made the finals after losing a brownlow medalist so no job security pressure.
He bloods a heap of guys and finds out whose up to it all bodes well for the future.
If he truly is conservative then it will be super frustrating.
Its amazing how a team considered slow transforms when Van Berlo Thommo McKay Lyon are replaced with the likes of Knight Seedsman Hampton Milera Menzel
Yes as he should be unfortunately.Is Otten the forgotten man?

I disagree. Gunston humiliated Otten 1 on 1 a couple of years ago. Every defender gets beaten occasionally but that was embarrassing.Otten runs on a treadmill
Cheney is quick
Hartigan is quick and big
Talia, well theres ho way he replaces him
lever see talia
1 on 1 hes good but the cheney spot seems most likely but don't see him being quick enough.
He would replace a talia or hartigan if injured i reckon
Hawks really did a number on us that game. They used Roughy as a decoy all night and had him drag Talia away from the contests so they could isolate Gunston 1-1 with Otten. Was very frustrating to watch.I disagree. Gunston humiliated Otten 1 on 1 a couple of years ago. Every defender gets beaten occasionally but that was embarrassing.
Definitely was a thing early in the season,The Crows were leaking Goals from our Forward line early in 2016 Pyke tweak the game plan part of that was playing Douglas as a defensive forward, with the occasional run in the middle.
I will be more surprised if MacKay and Douglas are left out of the round 1 team than picked to play in it. I think if they have both have a good pre season with no injuries they will be picked and younger players will need to be in ripping form in the twos to force them out.
I think Dougie is 100% selected with more stoppage midfield time a certainty. Mackay is 0% IMO, unless there's at least a couple of injuries to players ahead of him. His 140th-165th games had him 22nd in the b&f after his best year since 2009 that had his fans foaming at the mouth. He's the definition of the player that needs to go if a team is to take a step forward. He's done.
100% agree with you, I'm not sure the club do. DMacK seems to be a favourite at selection.
If we breakdown the selection into the 3 different areas. Firstly the backline.
The 7 from last season probably pick themselves.
Talia
Hartigan
Lever
Cheney
Smith
Brown
Laird
Expect we will see Smith again play sometimes on the wing & would also good to see Laird with spurts on ball, with other players rotating through hbf. Could we also use Brown as a cooler if an opposition mid starts influencing a game too much?
The issue may be whether we have enough good dangerous kicks coming out of the backline if Smith is shutdown. If Seedsman is in the side, then we have options.
Expect Cheney or Brown may be in the gun if we become too defensive.
Hopefully Doedee gets a go this year, along with others as we utilise our depth.
Now at least not as susceptible without Talia.... though wouldn't want to miss him for long.
