If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Ah, good old Brad

Comes out in the after game presser and cans the senior blokes (who were pathetic) then says change is needed. Selection comes around and he drops 3 kids

I’d keep Brad before I ever got Hird back.

I hope we look at a no nonsense assistant and get a decent football boss in place if we can’t get an experienced coach in

Don't worry, he has potential, big blokes take a while to grow into the role, etc etc etc :roll:

Needs to drop 10 kg if he's remotely serious about being the second banana in that forward line. Turns 27 this year, zero excuses

At least they have to cross to Mooney, they can choose to ignore him. When he was about to describe Thilthorpe as one of the greatest goalkickers, before catching himself, is just embarrassing...

The Sherminator, on the other hand. If I have to hear about DEE-fence one more frigging time. Last week he was talking about how players have to DEE-fend their opponent... :Hangman:

Have to agree, add the quality that was out to that side and probably would have taken the points.

Thought that was Rachelle's best game for the Crows

I’m sure I might cop a bit for this, but I couldn’t help noticing last night that the Crows, across the board, seemed to go to ground or drop at the knees fairly quickly once contact was made. It stood out to me particularly with Berry, Rachele, Pedlar and Worrell.

I can’t help but wonder if that contributed to the lopsided free kick count.

Genuine question, is this something they’ve been doing consistently, or was it more of a tactical approach going in low, possibly due to the weather conditions?

For what it’s worth, I thought they responded well and played the game out strongly after a poor start.

I don't really pay attention enough to Crows games to notice.
