Wouldn't worry too much Crows just looking for preseason wins and playing harder last qtr. 

Happy we got some games into our young guys.
Excuses year 1, blame year 2, contract extention year 3........

30 points down, ring the bell, this one is all over.

We've added 1-point to our three-quarter time score.

I know its only a pre season game, but 2 weeks in row we've capitulated in the last quarter. I don't like it.

At least we know that we can't really afford to have McLean, Curnow & Cachia in the midfield all at once. We also know that we can't afford to see much of Rowe and Bootsma  anywhere on the field - hopefully MM has seen the same thing.

And Kreuzer needs to take some marks.

Cripps was standing Dangerfield at the last centre bounce, they looked like twins  :o

He wouldn't have been there in a H&A round which clearly shows that  MM is using these scratch matches as he should.

That is a worry, but then we don't know Buttifants training load now and practice game strategies.

true - but I suppose running around in circles on the park will put more miles in their legs < me being positive

King reckons we need to rebuild, I'm sure that's why we have a $1M coach FFS.  Lucky he gets it wrong more than he gets it right.

If it was for points we wouldn't have rested Gibbs who was one of our best. The difference in the two squads we have fielded also shows that's not a consistent factor.

Concerns for me:
Rowe - No good (got out run by Rutten FFS and gives away silly frees)
Bootsma - No Good
McInnes - No Good. Looks slow and also gives away silly frees
Buckley - Quick but tries to do a little too much. Having said that, cant strangle natural desire to take em on.
Fringe guys who should do a lot better when fighting for a spot but they just dont.
Overall, didnt really seem to be trying. At least DT got through a game.

Granted first game back but struggled to outmark Sloan on the wing at one point.

Quite happy not to have them peaked on Feb 24.

Result is totally unimportant at this stage.

Not overly concerned, we had more than a few of our best out and it was more about getting games time into players. But must admit am getting restless waiting for signs that Kruiz is getting closer to being a key component of the side.

One point up at the start of the last quarter and lose by 38. Something doesn't sound good. I didn't watch the game, but I assume we will have far more negatives as feedback than positives in this game.
