When the Tasmanian team comes in, it'll be pretty easy to guess the "family reasons" when they want home

Murphy in the presser hyping up their late season form as a positive sign for how they'll head into 2025. Where have I heard that before?

We're 4-4 over the last 8 weeks, 5-7 over our last 12, so not even like we've set the world on fire at any point this season.

Looks like he’s no good at speaking either as well as football.

I guess the teams level of quality of performance gets a bit distorted for you when you are told yourself, from your club and your ongoing selection, that you're also doing a good job and playing well.

the team lacks on-field leadership, how many games have we lost by under two goals in the last two seasons, it would be in double figures?

I can’t recall when we have got on a roll and won 3, 4 or 5 games in a row, our pattern is win, loss, or it’s losing multiple games in a row

We just don’t have players that stand up in key moments, and it’s a repetitive narrative “it’s another lesson” but no it’s a repeated lesson that we are not learning from.

That’s quality not necessarily leadership.
We are overall not good enough
Leadership is vastly overrated and why we are stuck playing Murphy and Rob.

We call them leaders but they aren't. Footsoldiers only. High effort, high professionalism, low skill, low impact.

The size of the leadership group talks of its quality.....

I think this is a good point.

We misunderstand leadership as "someone who'll always do the professional thing".

Well, that's fine, but you're not describing someone who'll actually lead change at moments of adversity.

Adelaide have asked the question.
Pickett would laugh at us.

Lol.
Small forward. Pickett.
Third tall forward. Lukosous.
Tall back/tall forward. Petty.
Pressure forward. ANB.

Any chance of us asking the question of our actual problem.. MIDFIELD.

 

[Shifty Crow]

lol that’s not happening

Do clubs think Melbourne are just going to willingly give up contracted players?

Pickett is like Rankine.. runs through the midfield and is bloody dangerous when he does.

See if he laughs at a million a year contract.

I would hand over our pick 4 in an instant if he took the bait.

Imagine rankine and pickett in our first 18 each week. Tag teaming in the midfield/forward line.

Be brutal.

 

[Peter Doherty]

I support this Pickett play.

 

[El Doederino]

Any chance you could pop that on the Non-Crows forum. This rumour has nothing to do with us. Mods?

"Understand Adelaide & Freo have asked the question ..."

Did anyone ask him why he keeps getting subbbed off in the last quarter ?

"Adelaide have asked the question" tends to give me the impression that has something to do with the Adelaide Crows

I reckon the problem with an in-contract Kozzie is that the Dees would want pick 4

I’d give up the 2025 1st for him, but no doubt the Dees would want a premium return

Future first would be Max.
If there's no mids available to come to us perhaps we just have to accept another mediocre year.

I heard about ports interest through a port mate with connections a while back. Don't rule that out and it would suck if they got him as his best is elite
