I think people are focusing on the wrong issues. Our ball movement on the outside has been quite good this year and our ability to score is good (set shot conversion is horrible though).
Our work without the ball is the major issue this year, I’ve only seen it at a high intensity in two quarters (the 3rd today and 1st last week). Until that improves opposition will continue to score easily against us and it won’t matter if we have 20+ scoring shots. It won’t matter if we play two KPDs if our pressure up the field remains poor. I know we have the ability to apply good pressure as it was our strength last year, but something just isn’t clicking in 2023.
Couldn't agree more. Last year team played with defensive fight despite the talent deficiency...many opposition sides said how tough it was to beat the Crows.
This year they introduce a more aggressive ball movement at the expense of the defensive pressure.
Its like they can't do both. That's on coaching.
