Loved some of the stuff Croc did today.
Some excellent defensive efforts.
Kid's on his way to being a top tier player.

That's exactly how I saw it. If he was having a ping it would have gone through post high.
The best option was the pass to dear but he saw it too late as the instinct when you find yourself 40 out straight in front with space is to have a ping.
If he had the shot it would have been fine. Problem was he tried to change his mind after dropping the ball and it shanked forward.
There was a passage on the wing in the third where he crashed in really hard and then followed up again locking the ball into the contest. Was the toughest passage of play in his career so far. He's not known for that but absolutely put his body on the line for the team. You could feel the whole teams pressure lift after that. There wasn't much scoring from it but we really hunted them hard for 5 or so minutes.
Also shoutout to Dear for a repeat efforts a few minutes later contesting a mark, chasing, tackle, tap out, tackle.
Just needs a bit more size, kicking improvement and endurance to stay involved longer. Star in the making, looking like he'll win a few Coleman's I think.

He has and awesome contest on the wing in the 3rd, was ferocious. Adelaide player equally so, and they collided HARD. Awesome football.
Must be broken … or too many players who killed it !

Nah the rating system just penalises inaccuracy and unforced errors a lot more than other systems. He had 2 goals from 7 shots and 6 clangers.
Yeah, I know. Was there live; he moves up the ground a lot. He’s got a good footy brain.
You calling out the player you think wasn't putting in or just cowardly sniping ? Please tell us what we all supposedly saw...
"Catted the place up"? ?
All while our backline is working beautifully too. Their ability not only to defend oppsition inside 50s but rebound with precision has become regulation over the past month
Bailey smith isn’t far away from this pic… next year

Mate, you are trying too hard to make woke sound cool again.. this is the 3rd or so time you have tried to drag the word in to a unrelated issue. Bit too desperate.Just think, there are blithering morons out there right now labelling Sammy as ‘woke’….
What a bloody luxury he was. Feel like Chol is the closest we've come to replacling him in terms of that goal kicking, ruck relief role.

Worps has always bbeen good with the 20-30m darts. He struggles with the 40-50m passes. Not sure if it's his vision, or execution.

What was the racism incident that Mitchell was referring to in his post match presser?
One negative I did notice today was that we lapsed back into the old habit of kicking straight to the opposition repeatedly. We'd improved that area significantly in recent weeks but had a relapse today. Lucky it didn't cost us too much, and hopefully it was only a thing this week...

It helps that we have talls contesting so the ball isn't swept away easily by the opposition.
This bring our smalls into the game and that puts immense pressure on the opposition.
Chol and Dear are giving us so much value.

I know some expect more from croc but have a good look at him up close, we forget how ' Young' some of these kids are! Need to relax a bit when things aren't going our way. I for one, think opposite, playing a high half frwd role, linking up between the arcs and at the same time asked to hit the scoreboard! Not easy. Coming along nicely for a 21 year old .
Remember, analyse his game as a half frwd not a inside/ outside mid. That's when perspective can help.

Doc was busy too
For any youngsters, that’s what 80’s footy was like

It’s not that surprising tbh. They are fairly disenchanted with their coach which is totally fair enough. Today they were so off the boil. I don’t believe they are as bad as they performed today personally.
