Look, I get that we are thin on KPDs atm with Murray and Butts injured, but that is no excuse to waste Curtin in this role. Just use Madgen for that. Get another top up to fill the role, we know that our KPD stocks are fine now with Keane developing well.

What happened to Himmelberg and Burgess being able to play down back?
Yep, any glimpse you get he does something good. Really neat little underground handball there on the boundary. The guy has supreme talent and has shown he can play midfield. Fitness couldn't be the issue given he is very diligent with diet and does Muay Thai.

No way we debut anyone after this flogging

Another option is to use Burgess down back.
Wasn’t the plan for Himmelberg to develop as a CHB preseason?
That didn’t last long at all.
Should be Magden at FB, Himmelberg CHB, Burgess CHF, Murray FF/2nd ruck and Curtin on the wing.
It’s not that
hard!

Atleast Strachan uses the ball ok and is of use at ground level.
Am baffled how ROb is seen as a clear #1 ahead of him

We have Welsh up forward as well, no idea why Himmelberg has suddenly moved there again after trying him for one game in defence.Wasn’t the plan for Himmelberg to develop as a CHB preseason?

Me thinks the issue might be that we have the dumbest group of coaches in the comp. And that includes the sanfl level coaches too (ours and opposition)

Edwards and Welsh unsighted. Edwards very slight: gets pushed around by the oppo.
ROB dominates SANFL level a lot more than Strachan. Honestly, we need to get another ruck, Strachan aint the answer either. There are plenty floating around at the end of every season for cheap.
I don't blame the SANFL coaches here tbh, I am guessing they're following a directive from Nicks and co.
Only going by Stats, but Shoey seems to be okay?
Its obvious we're trying to let him learn to defend. I think at AFL level, its time for him to play Smiths role but even smith still had to defend one on one contests all the time.
Of course they are, under the directive of the senior coach
Welsh is still 17 and Glenelg are one of the better defensive combos in the SANFL. Clearly going to need time to develop, better learning it here than just dominating a bunch of 18 year olds.
Smith defends one on one contest.....???
He grew up playing as a defender, that was never going to be a problem. His offensive weapons and ability to play as a mid are why he was such a valuable draft commodity last year. There is zero development in having him destroyed by the best KPF in the SANFL.
At every level the club is in dire straits.
AFL, SANFL &Ops...we are a disaster.
The coaches have no imagination, the players have no confidence or direction and the off field staff are potentially worst in class.
This organisation is an embarrassment.
And we are the idiots who look for any glimmer of hope to support them.

I’m at the game. From ground level it just looks like it’s a mixture of poor skills, particularly with our top ups, and poor work rate/fitness, some of that our top ups too. Schoenberg lively in moments.
It’s the same issue with our AFL side though, not working to support the drop of the ball, or each other around the stoppages. Nicks keeps talking about us only bringing energy in some quarters, and that’s obvious to see. There’s no consistency across either teams.
Oscar Ryan not bad. Curtin playing Full Back. Laughable for anyone to suggest him playing on McBean isn’t anything but a pretty standard opportunity for him to build his 1-1 defensive skills. Move on. (That being said, wouldn’t mind giving him a crack literally anywhere for a Q or two)
One thing he needs no development in is his ground work, and being able to accelerate away whilst wheeling around other players. Always looking to attack, and has great sense in where the ball is going to be, or where it’s going to drop.

Crows thinking.
Lets reinforce our focus on his weaknesses instead of building on his strengths
