This club hasn't shown an ounce of an idea when it comes to list and coach management since Titanic was in the cinema and Bill Clinton denied having sexual relations with Lewinsky.
We're stuck in a repetitious nightmare with no-one at the wheel to get us out.

Was really disappointed about that you know. Should have played and hopefully he does next week. Problem with Pyke is the more experienced you are, the better chance you have getting into the team. So guys like Mackay will always have that advantage.

We know Matt Crouch can play very good football in a well functioning, well drilled, TEAM.
He was our best and fairest and an All Australian in 2017. Yeah, we might have failed in that season too but it's the best we've had recently and he was one of our best players. His best is good enough.
But Brad? Aside from his very early seasons, before some serious injuries, he's never shown he is a proper bonafide match winning All Australian type elite midfielder.
I'm off the Brad Crouch train. He's miles off where he needs to be.

Walking past on old biddy on the way home who was getting stuck into O'brien?? Reckoned he was out worst. Honestly couldn't believe it so I decided to have an argument. Some people are so clueless.
I'm not his biggest fan as his foots kills are pretty average. I'm willing to give him another season to make proper judgement as he's still pretty inexperienced in the scheme of things. We've seen many players of his ability tidy up that area after 100 games.
As it is now he's another non damaging mid unfortunately

Sorry for intrude I mean no harm.
What happened to the young Key Forward you guys had early last year?
One observation on your midfield, they are individually very good and smart footballers, the brothers, Sloane etc, however they are very one paced. Once sides get you on the outside and second halves when fatigue sets in, they seem to get blown out of the water.
I wouldn't get too worried, there's a pretty strong list there, might just need to rearrange a few deck chairs and use Carltons pick wisely!

Don’t mean to intrude but I live in Adelaide and while the crows and port are everywhere Don has become our Brad Scott unfortunately
How players are being gifted games after so long out of form, injured or underdone is ridiculous.
It will ruin the culture of the group and it looks like that is already happening. As a north fan I absolutely feel the frustration you guys must have when a coach is still living in the past and is too stubborn to change or take a risk! Unfortunately the list is at the end of the point end as well (betts, walker, Lynch, Jenkins, Douglas etc)
I had a bet on crows top 4 this year
Have to give it to bombers though. With their multiple injuries they are playing very well

Too Sweet
We refuse to play him.
A lot of the board will now pretend they understand why that was stupid, despite having spent the whole season defending it.

He's wasting away in the seconds. meh aggression, skill, toughness and X factor are overrated. Why would you risk it when you can play an inconsistent plodder.
You mean those few that stand out to you?
This - B Crouch is a white whale - needs to be traded

Can you blame them.

What explosive pace? He doesn't have any, and didn't demonstrate any tonight. A hollow impersonation of a star midfielder, 35 largely meaningless touches in a bad loss. If the club doesn't finally bite the bullet and trade him this off season, they ought to be marched out into a field
Well the secrets out - this PG is finished
You’re right
