We are a dispirited bunch.
Spirited start, good to see.
When SImmo went off, they get 3 in a row.
I wonder if that knee injury will cause the finish to Juddy's career?
Judd's career just ended, got taken off with a knee injury, if it is a reco, then he won't come back in 12-months time.

VERY VERY SAD WAY TO FINISH> :( :( :( :( :(
Unfortunately, I think we all had the same thought, hope it's not as bad as it looked
Casboult's witchdoctor is working wonders !!
Cannot believe he just nailed a banana from the wrong pocket.
There is something very wrong with Henderson. Liability at present.
Welcome back Ratten style of football. Just with more mistakes.
If Judd is gone can he please take Carrots with him because he's too slow.
Rowe back to his old mistakes. Dropping marks and not defending his man.
Murphy great quarter. Like Everitt as a permanent forward. Buckley very good. Same goes with Cripps. why was Simmo off for so long?
Definitely improving, but can't sustain the pressure and make stupid mistakes.

They're playing no worse and some may argue better than when they had super coach O:-)
Yes some silly mistakes but when they put it together and it works I think they look good - come on boys lets turn it around!!!!
Funny seeing the players trying to adapt to having more freedom. Now to improve disposal and decision making.
Any thoughts on Kroooz'z first 1/4 ?
Any word on the Juddman?
Henderson is a liability.
Geez Docherty FFS.
Murphy loving the freedom of running through the middle.
Geez Tutt is just not good enough.
Henderson is a liability.
Must have heard you the his last ten minutes have been good lol
Rowe fumbles the mark, drops it and stands there.
If that was Kruezer doing the same thing, he would have jumped in as a second effort to try and get it.
Have not seen us crack in this hard for God knows how long.
Sheesh Hendo has really lifted.
Sorry Levi , had to chuckle lol
We must hire a Hollywood script writer to find new ways to screw things up !!!!!
Sorry Levi , had to chuckle lol
Ain't laughing
Regarding the mistakes like anything you do over and over you become seamless at it - it will take some time to get MMs bullcrap game plan out of their system.
crap Levi's confidence must be getting lower....
Patrick Cripps is the most exciting player to walk through the doors of Optus Oval for years!!!
Ain't laughing
It was a sad laugh , but good to see a renewed vigour there in general
19 points down, making stupid mistakes BUT we are actually worth watching!!!!

This is true. If he keeps going like this, he will be a genuine champion and a successor to Judd.
OMG this gameplan is so damn enjoyable!!
Blokes like Curnow and Tutt are liabilities, Everitt some efforts are pathetic. Other than that very happy!
If it wasn't for horrible, dumb blunders in front of goals we'd be near to near in front. or at least awful close.
That smothered ball in the goal square, turnover a Crows goal was a killer 12 pt turnaround. Not to mention Curnow's miss.

It's the run, run, run ethos all over again. And I'm loving it, even if it means we are making some horrible mistakes and still can't get it out of defence from a kick out.
And they're tackling again. 32 in the first half, similar to last week. Proof positive that MM had lost this group.
We might lose by ten goals again, but this first half has genuinely excited me for the first time this year.
17 scoring shots to 8. Lucky to still be in the game.
How was that bit of play where we ran it down the wing as a group of five! The players have been released and allowed to play. Thank God the Dark Lord Mark II is gone.

Curnow could've looked alot better if he kicked that goal. Actually had 15 touches. Not sure of the efficiency percentage though.
Good to see them run. Be a couple of weeks before we get the idea on how to do it properly again but as we get better we'll start to win a few again, as a team with this ability should. Mick killed us and it'll take a few weeks to properly rid ourselves of what he has done.
Top quarter from Henderson, great half from Murphy, Tuohy and Walker much better this week, Buckley showing he'll be a good player when he learns to settle, great to see Kreuzer moving well.
White outclassed but there's no one better in the seconds, Curnow's foot skills mean he can never be better than a scrubber, Armfield started well then disappeared, Graham hasn't shown much.
We're having a good crack but it will probably translate into a 6 or 7 goal loss, we're just too far down on skill.

Add a few out on the full and kicks smothered in the goal square then the 17 to 8 isn't such a true reflection. Take away the 12 pt turnaround and Curnow shocking blunder and we'd be right on them.
There's a few blokes having trouble with a slightly more offensive style... particularly the slower blokes.

We have to "re-learn" it after Mick ripped the run and flair out of us.
Offence isn't the problem.

Good first half summary. Hope you're wrong about the loss aspect though. We really are a few blokes down on skill, composure and run. But you can't fault the attitude.
Andy McKay just said most likely ACL for juddy. Gone to hospital and we'll know by the end of the game.
Walsh to be elevated from rookie list.
We're coming.
Soooo bloody proud! Love the way they got around K!
Wow Tutt is just awful. Blokes like this holding back the team.
FK YEAH!!
Murphy so strong!!
Where has "this" Marc Murphy been all year ??
Also, nice to have a big bodied player in the forward line who can take a pack mark and kick straight, Kreuzer has been badly missed.
DING DING DING!
DO NOT MAKE BARKER COACH BASED ON EMOTION WITHOUT DUE PROCESS >:(
(do the due process and then make him coach ;))
There is NOTHING like bein at the G and cheering on the Blues when they're playing decent footy!
17 scoring shots to 8. Lucky to still be in the game.
Think of it as a just reward for good goal kicking.
FK you Malthouse!!!!!
If we can get that last possession right as we get near goal. It'll make all the difference.
What happened to Hendo in the goal square??
Win, lose or draw, just want 30 min out committed, hard running, exciting footy like we've been seeing.

Agree fully.
24 inside 50's to 12 our way in the 3rd. Premiership quarter here we come.
FK you Malthouse!!!!!
Yeah don't see other clubs lining up to sign him
Time to give Sav Rocca life membership!!
Pinch me, I'm dreaming ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Time to give Sav Rocca life membership!!
I think Cas just proposed.
Peppering the goals at the moment.
listening on the radio, we sound full of energy and very lively at the moment.

On TV Eddie's head going to explode he's barracking that hard for Carlton.
Cripps and Carrots cramping up by the sound of things. Not accustomed to running.
FKING DOG UMPS
Adelaide back in front - don't drop your heads lads. Keep running.
Rubbish free against Murph.
Was always going to happen wasn't it? Thanks Mick and Swann.
Docherty had to go harder then.
This is a disgrace.
Reminds me of geelong game last year, where umpire decisions will kill us.
No free to Doc. Thanks umps.
3 points down - 19 and half minute mark. Graham goal.
2 and a half to go and down by 9. Cmon Blues! Fight!
Damn - players cramped, not enough on the bench.
All over - Crows by 9 - Eddie misses - he still loves us.
Eddie shanked that on purpose I reckon
Beaten but far from disgraced !!

Agree- were the Crows pretty much full strength ?

Was thinking the same thing.
Put Juddy and Yazz in that side today and we win.
Hard to believe that was the same side that played the first part 8 rounds.

Agreed!

Absolutely. Couldn't be prouder of the effort today, sure there were plenty of errors, but they played their guts out.
