Sauce didn't make it easy for Charlie however he showed his class in the end

 

[billy fragos]

At least accuracy is good

 

[RePete]

CHARLIE!!!!

Dear, Brown, Gallucci, Poholke, Mackay, Milera, Douglas, Wigg, Lynch, Jacobs, Greenwood, Knight, Gore.

That's 13 players who had next to no impact in the first half

Greenwood started nicely.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Based on today Douglas shouldn't be getting a game let alone the middle.

Was fine last week, so I'm not too worried.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Wigg with 4 clearances

WOW

 

[Huntercrow]

Better start.

 

[rocket18]

Dougy and DMac with all their experience should be leading the way however both have been disappointing

How many years/finals games have we said that.

 

[Golumless]

The problem is we should be experimenting primarily with midfield structures to see what is going to work in the AFL season.

So far, any contest that doesn't involve Matt Crouch, we are hopeless.

The only positives I've seen from the pre-season matches so far is Hampton looks solid, and Milera has been productive (just not this week). Otten also been very good

The bold point is not surprising seeing we don't have many players who are very good on the inside, and most of them are injured/raw right now. This is something however that should not be as prominent when Sloane gets fit.

Hampton is the big one from this preseason, which is good to see as he has the potential to be a very exciting player.

Except we are using this to find midfielders and we've found one, Hampton.

For now, yes.

Hopefully the 2nd half and the Brisbane match (which i think is our JTL 3 matchup) adds another one.

What does worry me is his inconsistency

Last year he was good for a week then poor for 2-3 weeks

Matt Crouch with the clearance to Hampton to Sauce to Cameron : Goal.

 

[Golumless]

Yeah, but to see them play so poorly is annoying. The Crows players look like witch's hats at times. Poor positioning, poor decision making (too many hand balls in a chain). Chasing tails. Very disappointing.

Better to break down now then when it matters.

 

[Scorpus]

Luke Brown is back

How much has Douglas been in the middle today?

 

[Vooligan]

Great play by Browny

 

[MRB37]

Two leads to Charlie that have been smothered

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

That's the Brown of 2015

 

[Elite Crow]

On ya Brown.

 

[Tadpole]

You beauty!

Sauces new theme song "fly like a turtle"

 

[Jeffcrowe]

& for Jeffcrowe he is playing in the middle & has matched up against Dangerfield & Selwood at times.

Atkins looks more switched on today than last week & also had time in the middle.

So I think Douglas, Hampton & Atkins likely to be in the middle with Sloane & M Crouch come round 1.

For those criticising JJ, there is a huge performance gap with Dear. He is enthusiastic, but still very raw.

Our rucks could be a concern. Well beaten & given away silly fees.

Otten's composure & class showing again, but can we play him with Lever also in the side with Talia & Hartigan?

Hopefully some players blowout some rust in the 2nd half.

Good !!!

Clearances and contested possessions ?

Only seen 5 minutes so far so will watch later , saw Wigg win 2 clearances and Hampton hit up Menzel which was good

 

[Scorpus]

Should have been 9 points, Walker played on

 

[jenny61_99]

****ing hell Lynch. This is so unlike you.

Luckily we got it back and Tex gets a goal. We are in front!

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Starting to play with better method and defensive pressure
