He is the best runner at our club and one of the best in the AFL. He had a game high 27 (running over 24km/hr for more than 1 second) sprints last week which is actually low for him. And he'll be better for the run.

One of the footy shows showed them at work the other week. Pendlebury, Sidebottom and both Daicos bros are constantly rotating between half back and the wings. They're making it incredibly tough to match up on. We can put a hard tag on Nick but the other 3 can chop you to pieces as well.

They run them through the middle too at centre bounces late in games too when the pace is off the game, Sidebottom and Pendleburys disposal is at another level in terms of setting up other players.
You need your own large group of mids to keep up the pressure, the Crows had that and youthful legs which evened things up....

I agree, but the subset of supporters who think players should "bleed for the jumper", or hang their heads in shame, or self flagellate and apologise profusely every time they lose, will probably not want to waste their time.

I thought that was excellent from the Skipper, honest and to the point. As supporters, we ride the wave of emotions and probably stay flat as tack after a series of losses. These guys need to stay positive and move on pretty quickly to focus on the next opponent all the while getting battered from pillar to post in the media. Not easy but that's life for an AFL footballer and coach. It will turn.

Wouldn't it be good for the worm to turn in our next couple of home games against the Filth and Cheats over the next few weeks, and if we can steal an away win in between even better!
You just know, as always, they will be hell bent on kicking us while we are down. Sheedy will be handing out free lectures on how to defeat Carlton, McGuire will be telling everyone the competition needs a strong Carlton, only to shiv us off camera. Balme will be barracking for another Carlton bashing, with Clarkson cheering on, while muppets like BT and Darcy struggling to contain their shameful joy.
We should take no higher joy than to collectively sit these luddites on their fat ar5e!
Wouldn't it be nice if our current "Wobbles" turned out to be contagious?

re: Cripps Presser........Dorothy Dix contrived event that probably wasnt needed. Just win the game this weekend and give us results not excuses and I am sick of hearing the same "we are working hard BS" especially on our execution. Think we have executed poorly all season and are about 15th in that area. Only thing missing was the " green shoots" and we are sticking together routine.
If he could have explained why only Cerra is in the top 100 mids at No 52 for disposal impact that would have been more enlightening and why he was at around 360 on that list himself.
