Ellis-Yoleman has been ordinary in the 3 straight losses, he had 2 quarters on the weekend where he didn't touch it, Greenwood hasn't been anywhere near as effective as he was at times last year and it all stems, I think, from Jacobs' form.
All of Jacobs' workload over the last 4-5 years looks like it's coming back to bite.
Does that conversation have to be had, Crowfolk, Jacobs out, O'Brien in?

Tough road ahead right now - Hawthorn (A), BYE, West Coast (H), Richmond (A), Geelong (H), Brisbane (A), Port, GWS (A), North (H), Carlton (A) to end the year.
6-6 now, I can only pencil in Brisbane and Carlton as wins right now.

Maybe everything has caught up with them...No leaders, many Injuries, expectations, being 'up' for so long, the disappointment of last years GF, many players undecided (or maybe decided...) on their future...

Smith back in would make a difference.
The crows are missing genuine X Factor.
Smith provides that from the back with his ability to run.
McGovern provides that in the air mainly up forward but around the ground.
and Sloane provides that in the form of an inspirational effort when its needed.
Not too many out there at the moment with the capacity to change the momentum and direction of the game such as a 10 minute burst from a Robbie Gray.

The AFL should let this mob play with 36 on the field.
