Why does your team suck?

[Roobs321]

We haven't beaten Essendon in the last 2 years (and 2016 Essendon doesn't count). Same old suck.

Joint longest AFL suspension this millennium.

We beat Carlton by 10 pts, St Kilda by 13 pts (conceding 7 goals in a quarter), and Freo by 8 pts.

We still have soft second halves when we play away in miserably cold and windy conditions.

We almost had a perfect record against the top 6.

Can't even crack the top 10 in the Brownlow or Coleman in a flag year, let alone get Gary Ayres, AA Captain or AFLCA Coach. Rabble.

Too old, Too slow and Two...... Straight Sets.

2016/18.

 

[HAPPY BUDDHA]

Can’t handle the pressure of big games.

 

[Cyclonus]

My team is perfect, clearly, and only fails due to:
1: Vicco bias
2. Mummies boys
3. Umpires
4: Naughty mindfulness trainers

 

[Burzum]

Adrian Dudoro.

 

[Crankyhawk]

Not able to get free agents
Cooked premiership stars not worth any draft picks

 

[MWPP]

We're arrogant, we boo, we have a culture problem and most of all, our club doesn't sell adult-sized longies

 

[Sentinel]

After winning the flag in 2016 with such a young team we looked to have a great opportunity to establish a sustained period of success and compete for years to come. Instead in-fighting, injuries and players losing focus/hunger has seen us fall off a cliff since.

I wouldn't take it back because 2016 was so great and it was something I didnt think I'd ever get to see, but it'd be nice to be the best team out there for a while rather then just a month.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Crows have a bad tendency of playing spuds into form, like Troy Menzel.

Even worse still, we traded for Menzel. Dude played one decent game against the Crows and our list managers got a hard on and thought he was worth a trade.

In all fairness our recruiters go okay, probably the only really well run part of the afc.

 

[north_lad]

We're pov

 

[SBYM]

Can't think of anything at the moment, will get back to you.

 

[WHOME]

No leadership, terrible game plan, horrible selections, horrific skills and the dumbest collection of footballers ever assembled. Other than that we're going OK.

I might sit this one out ;-)

 

[kickazz]

Our "effort optional" approach to first quarters of finals.

 

[mxett]

Our Full forward cant kick straight, most of our midfield are slow and chop the ball up, our ruck is inconsistent, and our backline is meh. Plus we cant even win a final even when we're juiced up to our eyeballs. Also, our ex coach is a drug dealer, and our current coach is a pharmacist

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Went hard topping up in premiership years and now have few good young players

 

[ManOfClay]

We haven't won a flag in my lifetime and I'm old.

I’m youngish (late 20s) and we are shit again. I tasted it and now our lack of output irks me more

 

[tigertigertiger]

We haven't won a flag in my lifetime and I'm old.

Got a feeling one is just around the corner, don’t die yet

 

[magpienato]

We are so bad that we get into Grand Finals so often but lose them.

I'd happily take that.

 

[Rotayjay]

Most of our best players are getting old or spent the whole year out of form or injured. The age profile and game plan clicked in 2017 (and not even for the entire season). We have now passed that sweet spot and it will be a big challenge to make another window of opportunity.

Our football department is highly questionable, with that 'mental toughness' camp being an embarrassing symbol of a wider problem in the department that saw us destroyed by soft tissue injuries. Our on-field structures broke down - as someone on Bigfooty said, the Crows trying to score is like pulling teeth.

Pains me to say this but there doesn't seem to be a good culture within the club at the moment because a gun player or two leaves every year. Seem to be a few egos walking around and a strong team bond isn't evident very often. When players lose faith in the fitness staff, lose faith in their bodies and are subjected to a silly non-scientific mental toughness program despite protests, everything that makes a footy team good breaks down.

 

[Troglodyte]

On paper we have one of the best midfields in the comp but a lot of the time we get smashed at centre clearances

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Drug cheating and then pointlessly pretending for 3 years we hadn't been drug cheating. I'll never forgive people such as Lance Uppercut for encouraging the latter.

Ah this makes my day! I couldn't be more contemptuous of this if I tried.

You piteous buffoon

 

[Blackas87]

We sacked Norm Smith in 1965

 

[Masher]

All the other teams cheat

 

[Blackhawk42]

We'd consider trading a 21 year old gun for Chad Wingard
