Putrid half.

How can we be lacking intensity? Soft, dumb and lazy in that half.

Everything about this game is flat. The players look like they can't be bothered. The crowd is bored. Cripps leading the way with the disinterest levels. The purple patch is well and truly over. He can't run again. Back to the Cripps of the last 3 years. Can't get near it and when he does it's 50/50 whether he'll do something with it or cock it up.

Very average first half and don't look anything like a top 8 side right now


Half time last week. Cripps has been better this week, but pretty much the same team performance.

Fox showing the rooms with Cripps and his top off.

So many bandages and patches looks like he has been shot.


More than once.

I'm clearly not missing anything not being there or able to watch it on TV?

Cripps??
Seriously.
I can't recall one touch with any hurt factor. The guy is overrated. Grossly so.

I’d throw Williams or Saad in the guts for a bit of zip and intensity except Indont have the luxury of both.

Fish in the middle?

Our forward entry is so predictable.
A B grade defense can cover it.

Find another way Blues.

Same as last week. GWS came to play, we wore down and come home in the last 40mins.

For those of you whinging about our lack of pressure because of the usual suspects, I will give my usual bleat.

Give Dow a run, because we simply need more 1. run. 2. more pressure

Only had the most contested possessions, clearances and centre clearances on the ground. And the most goal assists on the ground.

Is anyone going near Brodie Smith? 700 metres gained to half time.

Would it be captain obvious to say need first goal this half?

And delivered the ball lace out to Harry after winning a contested possession, resulting in a goal.

Young has had a terrible last few weeks after being rock solid all season.
I think he is adjusting to JW being back and playing a different role. They don't have the cohesion yet.
Mitch comes in too and it changes things again.
