Game Day Crows V Giants

[Rabish Binney]

Has Jordan Butts gone backwards? He seems to be fumbling almost every ground ball contest and seems lost a lot of the time.

Mind you, after being our fullback for the past 3 years I couldn't blame him for that thankless task.

I can understand being fatigued but that doesn’t excuse losing every centre clearance practically after half time. Hell given the conditions we at least needed to break even in there to give our forwards a chance and conserving energy

It’s just as taxing on the team chasing arse when you control the ball like we did in the first half

The AFL scheduled the match for 1:00pm in the afternoon, in Canberra, in March - the chances of it being hot were always pretty high. Disgraceful scheduling.

Game was in Sydney. Not that it would have been any cooler in Canberra, as it was flappin hot here.

Agree with that , the fatigue was more present in giving them the corridor nearly all 2nd half more than the actual centre clearances where we were just no good for a half

Be careful. I tried to point out that Butts has regressed and copped a barrage.

Definitely hope so too even if it costs the odd 50/50 game in interim it will pay off long term if some guys emerge

What to do with Schoenberg ? How did he come on tv because he was awful live . Ball take , kicking and defensive running all sub standard

We have to give him a chance to redeem this week but running out

Taylor if his running is going ok is closing in on a debut , still think he’s potentially the best mid on our list but needs to get appetite for the work

Taylor as tactical sub?

Might be suffering from long COVID-19.......but yes. Not only fumbling but not reading the ball to allow him to take marks.

Crazy hot day, you can expect that in round 1 anyway. All I can say is that second half was a disaster. The players just need to forget about this one really really fast.
