Round 10 - Blues v Crows - In game thread

[laj]

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.

19 points down, making stupid mistakes BUT we are actually worth watching!!!!

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.

OMG this gameplan is so damn enjoyable!!

Blokes like Curnow and Tutt are liabilities, Everitt some efforts are pathetic. Other than that very happy!

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.
