He is, it's Crozier that needs some of it.

Ah I see your intent now..apols..
Crozier is a massive recruiting fail.

Jayz. I think we kicked more in worse conditions in a tight loss against Essendon in either 83 or 84.

Well that was painful.

It's such a concern that our key players like JJ and Hunter are also our most profligate.

Our side 2.14. TWO FOURTEEN

Adelaide 9.9

We've got to make some big decisions going forward if we're to address the major problem of our side.

Just completely disfunctional going forward and in there . Broken record
Over handballing in wet weather . It’s just bizarre

Bit part forwards and putting backs forward isn’t working . Recruit or draft smart forwards who put pressure on

Yikes. Really starting to develop a bruise free tag. Just pushed off the ball a lot tonight and all season. Needs to strengthen up a lot.

I’ve been banging on about this for years.

We simply refuse to draft and develop forwards. We’re more likely to draft the boot studder and try him at half forward than draft a natural forward.

As poor as tonight has been (and large parts were shitful), I wouldn't be using it as a microcosm of all our woes. We played dumb wet weather footy and we selected a dumb team for the conditions.

I'd almost be inclined to throw away the tape and focus on next week.

The forecast showed some showers and then clearing by game time. Yes we ended up a little top heavy, but didn't we all expect to lose this one?

Nah, this was a very winnable game. Teams after a Showdown normally have a let down the following week, and they clearly had injury woes tonight (that were masked by the conditions to be fair).

We shot ourselves in the foot with really dumb set-ups and dumb ball use. And we picked 3 ruckmen tonight after going in with 1 ruckman the week before at Etihad.

We played dumb wet weather footy against Freo. Every time its wet we should expect the same result?
