but I think its clear why we weren't 'fully awake' in the 1st Q....

Been involved in programs that have used mindfulness and sports psych, maybe I'm jaded or something, literally seemed to make every player worse around me and the more they lent into it the worse they went. I'm probably just jaded...cheers 99...interesting to know what goes on behind the scenes.

Yeah I was at that game - we were standing still - felt a lot like crows game actually.
If we were winning the midfield battles CB/Stoppages contests like we were for large chunks of games last year, then we’re definitely putting ourselves a much stronger position to compete and win games, this year we’ve been mostly soundly beaten…
We badly lack midfield diversity, of the quality kind same issue with our medium forward flankers, teams will start to expose us more regularly if left the same…
Having all of Cripps Hewett Cerra Kennedy Walsh will work fine at times when they’re dominating, now that we’re getting comprehensively beaten it’s our Achilles heel, it needs to be sorted out along with a few other key areas of issue too…
This year has completely exposed a few key deficiencies in being easily beaten, leg speed is an big issue particularly when we loose the contest and the ball gets outside, the other is we have been poor in general without the ball, a lack of defensive pressure, at times players looking poorly drilled in basic scenarios and structures…
With the ball we can and have been just as bad…
Dow provides a point of difference, like some of our other mids he doesn't defend that well but he does have burst speed. Hope they try something as it's been a slog this year.
The article in the Age was spot on. I reckon losing Cuningham for so many games over the past 3-4 years has hurt us more than Martin/Williams being regularly unavailable. He really showed glimpses of something special.

My comments....
1. Apart from continuing to persist with Cripps going H2H with Dawson, rather than not trying to contain him with a better match-up, the article does not elaborate about any other coaching panel's baffling calls.
2. Article has a real crack at Cripps who the author claims that he refused to chase. Almost inferring he looks disinterested, maybe playing injured?
3. I'm personally concerned about our perceived lack of preparedness match day , our game plan being exposed by the opposition. Our transition from defence, run & carry and disposal into the forward line. (We apparently had only 39% I50 efficiency, to 64% Crows) (why can't our small crumbing forwards get front & centre for marking contests like other clubs. It's always been one of the basics of this fabulous game.
4. I'm hoping most of these concerns can be addressed this week.
Stocks up, stocks down: Long live King Charles; Swans choke at home, again!
In Round 7 of the 2023 AFL season, more than a few key forwards kicked career-best bags -- none bigger than King Charles -- but the Swans choked away a lead at home ... again.

cripps can't chase......he's as slow as brock mclean was......quite an issue when he's not bulldozing through wreckage and shoveling the ball out........
We seemed to have the problem solved last year to be fair, he played as the modern centre forward. It won him a Brownlow and people were lauding Voss for turning him into arguably the best player in the game.
Fast forward to this year and it seems he's gone back to being a traditional midfielder who has to do the things he's not good at i.e. defend once the ball leaves the contest and track back into defence - as exposed by Dawson.
Wasn't the genius that we managed to maximise Cripps' assets and minimise his weakness? Why has that changed? It's as dramatic a change backwards as it was forwards last year.

whoever says weits isn't the general down back, is too quiet and not a leader has never paid attention at a game of football. 100% the leader. Brings guys like young right up.

Ross, SOS, Voss and the sliding doors moment that changed Carlton and St Kilda history
In The Scoop this week: a look back at a sliding doors moment in football history, a very exclusive drop at last week’s AFL Gather Round function and the golfer who barely got a look-in in Adelaide last week.
Good job Charles.
