for an excellent defence, there weren't very many tackles laid... only Mills, Parker, Wicks, Kennedy, Warner and Papley laid more than 2... perhaps that's why they had so many shots on goal. Our defenders weren't actually tackling...It's a luxury to have an excellent defence with Ling, Melican, Fox, Gould and Brand still waiting in the wings.
Agreed our defence weren't at their best in this game but the ball was coming in very fast at both ends. Hopefully we can learn and adjust before the Tigers game.for an excellent defence, there weren't very many tackles laid... only Mills, Parker, Wicks, Kennedy, Warner and Papley laid more than 2... perhaps that's why they had so many shots on goal.

Yep, it was very fast, and it was better last week... but lots of missed tackles in both games.Agreed our defence weren't at their best in this game but the ball was coming in very fast at both ends. Hopefully we can learn and adjust before the Tigers game.
We still laid more tackles than Adelaide (55 v 50) with 6 of our players laying 4 or more, but there were also many missed tackles.
Ideally over the next season or two Ling will move into Campbell's position playing back and Campbell will move into the midfield.I think Ling will become our lock down defender, if he shows it in ECFL or 1sts

Fair enough. I must've interpreted your post wrong.
I agree with you about everything else. Blakey's such a unique player that the ebbs and flows in his form are always gonna be more noticeable than most other players. Just out of curiosity, who would you take out for Rowbottom?
I paraphrased you. Perhaps you weren't alone in underrating Tex. He made our defence look silly. I felt for HewettI didn't say "I don't rate Tex at all."
I said, "I don't rate him at all."
I would not refer to a player I don't rate by their nickname.
I agree completely. What Kennedy lacks in speed he makes up for in smarts and he tackles like an octopus covered in super-glue. One finger is all it takes. He directs the young mids constantly and always seems to be lurking, encouraging them to have a crack but ready to provide an out if they get in trouble. Any half decent you mid would benefit from that sort of schooling and support. Kennedy has plenty of good footy left in him but when he does finally retire he'll leave behind a cracking young midfield with an incredible ethos.Yep, it was very fast, and it was better last week... but lots of missed tackles in both games.
For all that Kennedy had some poor kicks and handballs, without him things would have been a lot worse... led the clearances, laid 5 tackles and gained 423m

Was pretty shocked too see so many people banging on about McCartin being too slow! Has all the qualities to be one of our best key defenders yetMcCartin to slow lol
Not only that, he seems ok with being down back.Was pretty shocked too see so many people banging on about McCartin being too slow! Has all the qualities to be one of our best key defenders yet

Why do the AFL send an Adelaide umpire with the Crows' team ? The guy has at least a 50% chance of being a diehard Crows fan and travelling with the team must make him feel almost one of them. We should only get Adelaide umpires when we play a Victorian team and vice versa. The AFL don't even bother to disguise their anti-Swans bias anymore.Agree with all that especially the umpires comment. Do you know that one umpire was a, South Australian? Do you know he did not give us even 1 free kick?
