Game Day Round 12: Crows vs Freo @Perth Stadium (4:10pm Live; 6:50pm on 7mate)

Lol, and Richmond still beat us to the next premiership.

Hardly surprising when you’re s**t for so long and get top 5 picks year after year, it’s bound to come together eventually.

Bit harsh on Rat when he didn’t play today.

Cold blooded.

i feel like akins dropped that ball to intentionally avoid any contact forthcoming

Almost single handedly brought us into the game in the second quarter and got absolutely polaxed in a contest in the forward line. Spent time in the rooms and came back on.

thought jenkins had a few important flick ons and contests in the second quarter before he was polaxed.

Such a frustrating player that boy. I think the self preservation thing is strong in that one. It’s a shame because when he wants to, the lad can play.

Craigy had most of the group, as did Sando.

Players played for Walsh although tragically we never got to see for how long. If this group is as soft as we think, they wouldn't have dealt with his intensity long term.

Walsh reminded me a little of Brendan McCartney. An astute strategist, mentor and coach of young men, but potentially too intense and overbearing in the long run for many.

Unfortunately we'll never know for sure.

I've said before the vibe I got from him was he'd burn himself out in the first 3 years, but it's almost what we needed because he would have totally shaken up the joint in the process. We've gone back to the same safe, mediocre and insular ways again pretty quickly.

I think it’s all a bit easy down there at the moment. No one getting dropped because of too many injuries.
I think It also might be getting a bit chummy too.

Gaemplan just exploited massively.

Hasnt changed since the GF - not much to exploit
