Clarkson doing some bizarre stuff. McEvoy as a key defender? Come off it.

Puopolo is cooked, shouldn't be picked. And a lot if their older guys like Breust, Shiels and Stratton look just about done too

Also, O'Brien really sucks
I was going to mention Poppy, he looked cooker the last 2 years and yet he survived. Strange decision by Clarko to keep him on, but he doesn't make many of them.

Breust still has some decent footy left IMO.

Stratton has always been a good average defender but he isn't aurrounded by a lot of quality anymore to make him look better.

I had high hopes for O'Brien, and he's a beautiful kick of the footy..... But that's about it.

So, how would this board feel if our coach described his midfield as fourth-rate, like Clarkson did? Do we want the truth told publicly, or do we prefer Gibbs' game to be praised? :think:
Clarko has runs on the board, his players respect him and his record is nearly impeccable.

A first time coach doesn't get away with that.

Gibbs got dropped, that's the action I care about.

I reckon Poppy would be gone if Cyril stayed on

if we know the midfield is 4th rate and they are telling us its 1st class - thats when I have an issue

If they said we still need to add pieces then sure I'm fine

He saw Jordan Roughead for the Pies and thought that was a great idea to try. Plus their other options currently are blokes like Sam Frost or Michael Hartley, who aren't that good.

Poppy definitely shouldn't be playing though.
 
Fyfe looks gassed already...Reckon he might have slacked off during the break if his efforts so far are an indication.
Doesn’t seem like the type of bloke to slack off.
Might just be an off day.
Sneaked a goal.
 
How that hack keeps his job while guns like Pyke themselves on the scrap heap after 4 years is one of life’s great mysteries.
Does everything need to be turned into a negative that relates to the Crows? What does Pyke remotely have to do with the post you quoted? No one is saying Clarkson wasn’t entitled to try again the formula that won them 4 flags, but it doesn’t appear to be working this time. People can be critical of Clarkson and still appreciate that he’s the best coach we have seen in the modern era.

Someone else referred to the maestro in an earlier post on Clarko. I continued the vein.
