Man that was frustrating to see. Doggies seemed to stop running and went into go slow mode. Crows only one taking it on in the last quarter. Not a good start to the year.

We have to ask is it personnel or coach
We were told that Mark Ross is a recruitng guru ,so far nothing suggests that
If it is the belief that we have the right players then questions need to be asked about Thommo
a lot of supporters thought that he wouldnt be there this season
Unfortunately with the boys club mentality from those that were there when Lairdy was coach it wont change
Unless we start to win games soon a wooden sppon is very much on the cards
Also can someone explain how Ethan East was dropped when we continue to play Tattoli

We play a shit brand of footy,slow and boring.
Who's fault is that?
Finn Reed another who shouldn't be playing league footy.
Posthuma is not upto league standard also.
Wooden spoon is looking likely after we've struggled against 3 of the bottom teams.

Very disappointing last quarter fade-out again, even with whatever breeze there was at our backs.

Statistically we had around the same amount of the footy but for me the game was won and lost in the centre square. ROB dominated hit outs and fed Draper, Jones and Drury all day, winning centre clearances and clearances in general handsomely.

Despite that, we had opportunities late in the 3rd and early in the last to apply scoreboard pressure and get the game on our terms.

So many unforced errors and missed targets cost us dearly. Hard to see how we recover from this poor start having dropped points in games we probably banked on winning.
Players win touches, Teams win matches, Clubs win Premierships.

Simply it starts next week
if we lose to south we are done
The week after we have Norwood and will lose that
Then Port at Alberton which will be 50/50 at best
Then Sturt at Unley where we never win and we never beat

Centrals had a relatively soft draw to start the season, and have gone 0-2-1.

Each game they’ve lead late only to roll over and let the opposition overrun them.

As I’ve said several times already this season, they play to not lose instead of winning.

Next week, Tank Bowl at Noarlunga. Lose this (and that is likely given how badly we’ve played) and a wooden spoon is very much on the cards

You’re not denying Port another spoon.
