That's not really positive
We'd be ranked #1 in lots of things. Not many of them would be positive.What are you on about? We're the best at it. No one does it better than us.
That's not really positive
It’s also Positive that Silvers admitted as much during the mid season review.It is definitely positive that Nicks is badly in need of assistance.
Who?# 1 rule from a Doctor
It actually takes 3 Positives to negate one negative in the human mind. Our brains have been hardwired through evolution to focus on the negative. Traced back to prehistoric days, primitive man had to be able to register threats to avoid danger and increase survival rates. Individuals who were more attuned to danger (negative stimuli) stayed alive longer and passed on their genes
A player could kick a very low percentage goal from the boundary, and miss a very high percentage goal from dead in front. We will remember the miss even though going by the percentages we are still 1.1 from those shots. Had the easy goal been kicked and boundary shot missed, no one remembers.
There are plenty of Positives from Nicks time at the club. I'm sure none of us want to go back to 5 years ago. Our brains just focus on negatives a lot more than Positives.
Yes. I am sure.Hmmmmm - ya sure about that?
2019 - Rd 17 - 9 wins, 7 losses - 7th spot on the ladder.
2024 - Rd 17 - 5 wins, 10 losses and a draw - 15th spot on the ladder.
Our worst season and Nicks first year we won 3 games from 17 games. In 2024 we currently have 5 wins from 16 games.
Thats a long bloody time to only improve 2 or 3 wins.
What’s this now?I can guarantee we wouldn't have tried Hombsch's gameplan against Carlton.
I can guarantee we wouldn't have tried Hombsch's gameplan against Carlton. As long as a bloke is willing to try some new things, there's potential there, once he does a few he gets used to it and does more.
So nicks isn’t running at 3:1 then I’m guessing.It actually takes 3 Positives to negate one negative in the human mind. Our brains have been hardwired through evolution to focus on the negative.

So he’s departed from the winning game plan?Another positive is that, despite the delusions of this board, Nicks is way more open to change than a few of our previous coaches. Now, he may still be a bit too slow to change, even for me, but he does change, unlike Pyke or Craig.
I can guarantee you if Pyke or Craig were coaching this season none of Curtin, Dowling or Taylor have debuted. I can guarantee we wouldn't have tried Hombsch's gameplan against Carlton. As long as a bloke is willing to try some new things, there's potential there, once he does a few he gets used to it and does more.
We're only three ladder positions above where we were in 2020. That was a covid season, which frankly no one was really paying attention to.It actually takes 3 Positives to negate one negative in the human mind.

I don't think I'm better off.
We've had one outlier season, and it was a low outlier without even making the finals. In a full AFL era.
But hey, it's just evolution making us think we suck, that's probably it.
I'm pretty sure even the hardest-bible-thumping, creationist, evolution-denying Crows supporter would also think that we suck, so I don't think we can blame evolution.We're only three ladder positions above where we were in 2020.

This at least feels like the place for positivity?There is a time and a place for positivity. This isn't one of them.

This data shows that this year is still better than 2022, which was better than 2021, better than 2020. A dip below last year is obvious, but tied in with our new players in the team this is not as bad as you say.
The positive is we’ve had an extra home game these last 2 seasonsWe're only three ladder positions above where we were in 2020. That was a covid season, which frankly no one was really paying attention to.
