I just looked at the free kick count, 14-28, absolutely disgusting.

Apart from that, need to get quality players into the team over GOPs. Billings and King straight back, need grumpy Ross to set a standard.
It could be 14- 100 all I see is a side that has been consistently outperformed
Sorry, I got confused, it’s actually 15-14 our way, my bad, still disgusting tho.

Again there’s nothing written that frees should be even , you win some you lose some …..we lost because we can’t hit the side of a barn even when it’s not moving ….crows had a poor couple of seasons but got game time into their kids . Our kids will be much better next year but they better learn to kick.
And some on here drop this guy drop that guy but you’ve got to have something in Sandy to come in and really they haven’t been much better

Ross’ kicking inside 50 is shocking.

Butler marks Crows player belts him in the face

Clear 50 no the umpire pays high so there’s a free.

Yep, squeezing passed a putrid North team wasn’t any win to celebrate, we haven’t earned the rights to a “ugly win” yet.

So CURLY ...

You think maybe if the umpires favoured us we'd improve our kicking?

Maybe we'd be only 40 points down you reckon?

Bailey Smith, The Bont and Petracca ... all 3 would have helped.

Recruiting is key.

Crouch is our highest possession winner

Going 50% by foot

Ross probably highest metres gained. Keeps giving it straight back to opposition when going i50

Not only that but it's demoralising for the forwards and their team mates

It's not like they were in ripping hot form. Why do they get a game for 22 rounds of home and away?

Imagine going to Adelaide and coming away with an 18-14 free kick count in your favour, yet still blaming the umps for the 9 goal loss.

We were slow, didn't combine like a good team should and our skills were lacking.

Time to change uo the side a bit

King has to be ready surely ... straight back in

Windhager in ..... Webster in ..... Billings in

Sandy up by 21 half way thru 3rd quarter .... Windhager with 22 possies


The Devil makes work for idle hands!!!

You gave enough quality in the second half for me to easily figure out what the first half was actually like :)

85pts from turnovers...by far our most shocking capitulation all season.

Truly pathetic...not blaming one or a coach...the team as a whole were insipid.

They should hang their heads in shame at the disgusting, weak lack of effort.

Doesnt have to be this way next week or any other...so lets hope something happens...but honestly we have been nose diving for 6 weeks.
