Roast Matt Hass is garbage and the Crows fitness is below AFL standard

He only lasted the weekend
We won't get back to normal until the 2022 season so can we really judge him where individual players might have return back in less ideal fitness and are now playing catch-up in a shorten season where being unfit will affect your performance which will loss you game which will than affect how mentally hard you want to train....

So you analyse data, provide information, and then the decision makers act upon that information. Kinda sounds like KangaTech to me.
Hasn't seemed to have affected the other teams
Hass can’t be the problem as we have the best people in the right seats?
Right?.....
Right?.....

Killing with a smile
It's a BS excuse.
We got overrun in all three pre-season games before the pandemic hit. We're easily the least fit team in the comp.

Matt Haas only works for one team......Guess who?
The gulf in fitness differential was too hard to ignore last night, especially after 3/4 time. Literally 90% of our team, and particularly the younger players, looked like they had just run a marathon after every contest. Whilst I expect some drop off in energy levels if you are chasing your opponent all day, we were actually pretty even for most of the game and should never have dropped off in our energy levels that much.
Even if we had the talent and skill to win right now, this level of fitness would make it impossible.
On that alone we will not win a single game this year.

Are you sitting down...?
Of course it matters. He sets the program and the standards.
Of course it is. They overcooked us in the 2018 preseason and had to wind it back and they've still not got it right. Hass was with Burton cooking the Lions players, he doesn't know anything about programs that get players fit enough without causing soft tissue injuries.

I think the inefficiency / weakness in our game plan is making our players work harder.... which makes them tire more quickly.
We seem to be doing a LOT of chasing this year instead of structure based defence / offence.

It's amazing how difficult it is for professional athletes to reach a competitive level of fitness - and how easy it is for them to lose that - without the right guidance. It goes to show how skilled a good fitness professional is.
Hass' clear unsuitability for this job is just another item on the laundry list of Adelaide Footy Club failures in recent years. Such a problem would be THE major problem at many other clubs if it was happening to them. But for us it's just one of the list. That's sad.

do we have anyone on staff who hasnt been a disaster at a club at their crappest? why do we keep bringing people in who have overseen bottom dwellers? hart was useless at collingwood, lets get him! burton was useless at brisbane, lets get him!
All comes back to Roo (i.e. Haas package deal with Burton). Job for the boys!
Of course it matters.
This isn't park footy and they should 'try harder'.
Do you reckon they get to this level without being driven and competitive?
They're required to follow set programs and if the programs don't have them fit enough and added to that the 'coaching plan' exposes this weakness the whole thing falls over. We get there through sheer will and then skills and decision making compromised by the petrol tix already spent.
The players should drive the standards. Hence their culture is shit atm. Hass is small problem atm and will get replaced. Example of this is the players have returned to training unfit for the last couple years. This was last season and this season including the COVID break. Hass can give them a program but it’s up to the players how hard they want to work.
Golumless
A bigger deal out west.
The problem is you think you are working hard if you are meeting what is set out for the program.
Hass is not some great manager and this is an aberration. Unfit sides are Hass legacy in this league.
How many turned up to training for after the offseason? How turned up worst off after the COVID break? Nearly the whole squad. ATM there is no internal drive to improve and work hard.
Football is an instinctive game and players need to show some initiative. Hass training methods appear to be not up to standard which he will be replaced as everyone is replaceable. This stems deeper to the coach to allow these standards to be the norm. Nicks needs to stop the Mr Nice Guy persona. How many successful AFL coaches were a nice guy? They were pricks, got under players skins and drove them to improve. But at the same time they cared about every single individual.
If the players turned up fit and not be lazy, they might have won a couple games. Blaming 1 person is the easy way out. The players and Nicks are partial blame why they are so unfit.

They are, but we've had a bunch of guys leave us after training in the Burton/Haas era and become better and fitter players.
