Wouldn't put much stock in anything from that halfway through the 3rd onwards. After the half time break the line in the sand was drawn and we came out with even less intensity than the first quarter. Hawks were 100% in cruise control after they walked in that first few goals.
You think you know more than Burgess...I don't think so.
There's something on the nose .....one of the most important games of the season & we come out to play like meek lambs
Interesting, similar comments were made about some of our players in the SANFL ??
That said, there's a tipping point with injuries .....Milera, Thilthorpe, Rankine, Pedlar, Worrell, Himmelberg .....then add Walker, & Dawson
8 players missing !
Smith is gone, is running like a Draft Horse, and he was directly responsible for half a dozen turnovers in that 1st Qtr and half
Don't be fooled by Crouch's disposals .....it's fools gold ....each time HAW broke clear at CBA's, it was Crouch languishing back in the centre circle
It's foolish to think that getting cheap disposals, with zero impact, compensates for his snail pace & lack of any form of defence
Laird also, as I indicated last year, has slowed down .....and his #1 wood, his 2 mtre circle speed has gone
Telling that Laird was sent to DEF ....so there's a recognition of the problem .....you can't hide Crouch, and we truly have no-one in the SANFL capable of making a significant in-put
Anyone saying we don't need a Stiffy Johncock type BP ...and Michalanney can do the job .....BS
Michalanney needs to be played higher up the ground, to use his pace, and replace Smith .....not be dragged back to the goalsquare as he was today
Full of admiration for Soligo, Hinge, Keane, Nankervis, and Cook .....growing admiration for Butts
Burgess, simply a fill-in, not AFL standard ....a FWD line of Burgess and Fog .....man, that's ugly
Dawson couldn't run
But yet again, the root cause of all our problems is a slow, impactless midfield
That post is to defend Crouch. It definitely isn't defending Laird with those turnover numbers.

Actually try watching the game, without your biases ....we're judging Rachele on now, not 15 months ago
He spent the majority of the game as our deepest forward, the ball didn't get down there that much
Not really, he was put out to dry by the club, let go like his brother for any takers, he had none. It is a systemic of the issue of our club, we can't make clean breaks when we want to
Not playing Hamill was a massive error.There's something on the nose .....one of the most important games of the season & we come out to play like meek lambs

You don't think how Nicks treated him with no midfield minutes this season has affected a young and developing midfielder? All Rachele did was attended a majority of CBA last week and then played forward even when Nicks said Rachele will play midfield.
It's definitely a list weakness .....we've had Stiffy, and Laird ....and now no-one to close down small fwds, all teams seem to be focussing on

Crouch would be a far better player with Laird out of the midfield.
"That game" actually had ceased to exist and was fully completed as a sporting contest by the time he entered the statistics in a numerical sense. And in spite of these statistics, they had no bearing whatsoever on the result of the contest.
