I get that people feel affinity for the players at their club, but Crows fans getting shirty about players leaving is so weird. If ever there was a season that sent a clear message that big changes are needed, we just had it. And you want big changes while keeping the same list?!
We need speed and youth. The last 2 years we tried to keep a window open by pushing on to maintain the list that made the 2017 GF. 2018 was cruelled by injury, which probably hid the fact that we were too slow to compete in the modern game in 2019.
Fans complained about Pyke's 2019 style, but it's all he could do. We had to play a possession, key position style. We couldn't have 30-year-olds in free-flowing midfield footraces with 20-year-olds over 4 quarters. These days, a lack of flexibility is too easily shut down.
I don't think the rebuild will take too long. We have good young talent already. Doedee's already a gun, Jones is a future Dangerfield, and Fogarty is Tom Hawkins 2.0. With a good spine and a few fast midfield ballwinners we'll be back before you know it. #weflyasone 👍
Anyway, this was just a long way of saying I don't think I can watch the #AFLGF today because football is pain.
