Don’t despair
This was always coming. We ran until the end against Sydney last week. Young team, travelling to Adelaide where we haven’t played well in a long time, against an Adelaide team looking to cement a spot in the top 6.
The Crows are a good team and they’re on their home deck. It’s disappointing that we are getting completely cooked, but sometimes that happens. The team is growing. Young teams rarely travel well.
The important thing is that this is the first game this season where this is happening. We had 2 bad quarters against West Coast and ran out of legs against Geelong at home. We’ve been in every other game.
Two years ago we lost, what was it, 20 games in a row? Most of them were by 10 goals? The club has come a long way.
We will take our lumps today, head into the bye for a much needed refresh and I actually believe we will come out of the bye with some good performances. Just gotta survive and put in a good performance against GC next week first. I haven’t felt like that in 10 years.
Don’t despair. Ignore Caro and Cornes this week when they start spewing their nonsense about “Clarko might be fired” or “north haven’t improved”. Lies from hacks. We know better. Improvement isn’t linear but the trajectory this year is well up.
