AFL is similar to the RAA, different tiers of membership.
Teams like Geelong have Gold membership while others like us have basic cover, no extras.

One thing I noticed on the weekend of other teams, was the ability for the Crows to just bail out long down the line and their players to find a way to mark it. Dawson, their talls, RoB, etc, theyve got a lot of bigger bodies who can mark. Thats something I feel we are sorely lacking.

We tend to draft the slight build quick moving types that chip the ball around.
I’ve always believed that’s why we get monstered in finals.

Yep, not enough ball winners. Too many outside users.

It's not a player issue it's a gameplay/decision making issue. When crows do it they make the decision quickly and directly - they are set up to have players ready to mark a 'bail out' kick.

We are so focused on the corridor that we spend way to much time assessing options, so that when we finally decide we need to 'bail out' the oppo have achieved full defensive ground cover and can intercept or at least compete for the bail out kick. It's the same problem at Port that we've had for nearly 2 decades - the collective IQ of our playing group is in the double digits and the coaches have been utterly inept at drilling them to make quick decisions.

Whoever is in there is going to need some serious physiotherapy by the end of the game.

Hinkley-era training sessions are earmarked by laughter and friendship. The only person who knew how to push them was Darren Burges and he's long gone

When Carr takes over, I would love the club to release photos of a training session where the players are visibly uncomfortable, or at least sweating

What a sad tale.
It makes complete sense but what a joke of a club.

The Tasmanian Werewolves.

It walks like its just been on a three day bender.

Had me guessing also.
The old Taz from the Bugs Bunny cartoons would have packed some punch.
Maybe there is a problem with Disney using him but that motley moth eating shit is crap.

Is it the job they offered Ken?

I would trade him for Ken for the remainder of the year.
