It's been such an unusual season, but if you break down the Crows games it's pretty much:Looking at Adelaides list I just can't get my head around how they haven't won a game
Sure there are some holes in it but a team with Sloane, Crouch x2, Laird and Talia should be able to at least win 1 game in a season

That's almost unbelievably bad. Translating those stats into an average scenario: They're usually (well) behind at half-time, then have a good go in the third quarter before falling off the cliff in the last.
Their fitness is barely SANFL standard.
Hawks 39+ points.
Have you seen the team we selected? That's a very generous prediction.
Ricciuto should declare himself captain/coach and supreme leader for life.
Hawks 39+ points.
Our first half stats are distorted by 3 really poor games against Port, North and the Bulldogs and the Suns, Eagles and Lions games weren’t much better. Outside of that, we have been within a goal or two or slightly ahead in the rest of our first halves (Sydney, Saints, Melbourne, Collingwood, Essendon, Freo and Geelong). Our 3rd quarters are mostly ok too (except for disasters against Port, North and Bulldogs), but our last quarters completely fall away (worst fitness department in the league).That's almost unbelievably bad. Translating those stats into an average scenario: They're usually (well) behind at half-time, then have a good go in the third quarter before falling off the cliff in the last.
They have been games away from AO though, our performances at home outside of the Port game have been average to ok.You could be correct. Adelaide has failed to show up vs some of the lower ranked teams this season.
Looking at Adelaides list I just can't get my head around how they haven't won a game

Including losing to Melbourne by 51pts?They have been games away from AO though, our performances at home outside of the Port game have been average to ok.

For a team that were monsters in 2017 to this must be the biggest fall off the cliff in AFL history.
feel for the players who no fault of their own were subject to a career ending and team ending pre season of 2018.
How to get back, playing ok this year, but its obvious the line between losing and winning is blocked by a force field at the moment.
hows the culture at the club?
Have people been held to account ?

it has to be more than that, cant go from monsters to duds in one season and stay limp for another 2.As you pointed out our 2017 team was solid
We obvioulsy have recruited poorly in the last 5 years for the team to drop away so quickly

Sure the GF loss was a disappointment but bloody hell, you had the talent to continue, this was no fluke.
So what im getting at is has a full inquiry been made?
And where to from here?
Unless the Crows can beat the Hawks tonight (they might have a shot against the Giants) but after that it would seem likely they'll be the first VFL/AFL to go winless since Fitzroy in 1964 (good omen)?
Whilst they've gotten progressively worse I don't think they're the worst wooden spoon team I've seen. Obviously, Melbourne in 2013 is the worst (and even then we finished 17th), which shows you how bad the Giants were in their second season.
Then everyone always invokes Fitzroy's final season to compare how bad a team is going, which terrible as they were is not fair considering their predicament at the time.
Adelaide this season remind of Freo in 2001 a bit. That season Freo lost the season opener to Carlton by 1pt at Subiaco. From there they lost some tight games between 3-4 goals, then Drum got sacked midseason and they started getting walloped, but ended up winning a couple of games including against the Hawks who nearly made the GF that year.
I've seen many worse Freo sides than that one. The Crows this year are obviously transitioning and lost their first game which was very winnable, another against Essendon where they bottled about 4 chances in the last three mins. Basically, they've lost confidence and forgotten how to win. But I dont believe they are such a bad team. Not as bad as their winless record indicates.
