Few people have said this tonight, but fact is we nearly beat freo by double teaming Sandilands with Maric and Hampson... in fact Hampson going off swung that game. Hardwick's reasoning was ok, it was the execution by Hampson that let us down.
Only just watched the game. They beat us at the contest for intensity and composure all night. Rattled us early and we fumbled and rushed our possession for the rest of the night. They did to us what we did to Hawthorn, except if they'd kicked straight holy *smile* it would have been a monster spiflication! Dimma is lucky, that could have been a front page demolition.
Reiwoldt looked very underdone. No run and no intesity at all. Vickery was the better forward and that is really saying something. Hammer I can't see the point of. I don't know if McJeebus would have made a difference, but I'd like to have been given the chance to find out.

Maybe questions on Clarko from last week too .137 point win to ordinary loss .Tigers of Old said:
Crows brought intensity and determination last night after being given a massive grill due to the lack of it over the past few weeks. Blew their average tackle count for the past month out of the water. They were their to play after ha pathetic showing against the swans.
We looked like we did in the final last year. We were rooted. Happens sometime coming of a massive win. Just have to turn it around next week and I have no doubt we will.

Yep the reasoning was ok but the problem is Hampson is just a fringe player and has never been consistent so is more likely to pull out a game like last night than Freo game. We actually squared hitouts but the hitout to advantage is where we got killed. But to square the hitouts we needed two players to their one which robbed us of another small. But no matter what team we brought out last night we were going to get smashed, we weren't on our game and they were. There was something amiss. Flu symptoms is a possibility, it was not Richmond like. We move on and look to next week. We must as a finals place is on the line.
I'm sure we'll rebound well against the Suns.
Particularly after a nice rest with Edwards and Deledio returning.

Re: Game Day
Crows seemed to use the "uncomfortable" comments after the Hawthorn win as motivation. No way were we going to waltz into Adelaide and push them around. After the siren, Walker hesitated just long enough when describing Richmond as "a great team" to give away his disdain.
Dimma may be coming up against the remnants of 30-odd years of spotty culture.

Being immunised against influenza won't always stop you getting the flu or another virus like the common cold which people often call the 'flu'. Lids could have had a virus with chest congestion, headaches, muscle aches, etc. but not necessarily the flu.JimJessTorp said:
Yes they looked tired, spent. I saw the punishment Miles was getting last week and thought he would be lucky to get up this week too and I was right. I suspect there were quite a few like that, mostly midfielders. We didn't get first use of the ball all night and that was where it was lost. Focus this week on recovery and move on. In a way I'm glad we lost one before the finals. This could be a blessing in disguise. Won't make top four and probably won't have to travel two weeks in a row to the west.graystar1 said:
Amazing the lack of tolerance with Hardwick even after last week's performance. Even if there were genuine reasons I don't think Dimma would use them as excuses bc he has some class. They will keep it within the club and we should have more faith in what they are doing. On paper we still have a way to go, some players are not quick enough or skilled enough and Betts loves playing against our slow backline (except for Rance). Good thing Morris was not brought in on Betts or he would have kicked more.Tigers of Old said:
There was hesitation and second guessing going on all over the ground at the contest in the first half. I recon we just hit breaking point with sore and missing players and the team knew it.
