It’s pressure but we are just handball 3-4 chains under pressure and fumbling

Byrnes and Crouch watch
Ronnie's had 12 touches at 92% disposal efficiency
Crouch has had 18 touches at 50% and 3-4 direct turnovers.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 7 2023
That's an overstatement. But I do think Billings might be a better option next week.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 7 2023
How many times has he fumbled or turned it it over?
How many times has he burned his team mates by being hungry in the forward line?

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 7 2023
Crouch not had his best that’s for sure
But it’s clear AGrade midfielder quality we lack
There is no Saints “Bont” to go into the middle and turn the tide
Middle we look like losing most contests
8 points but feels more
Their goals coming easier

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 7 2023
Crouch is playing against one of the best midfields in the comp. Your hero Bytel played excellently last week against the Carlton VFL team. Try to get a bit of perspective.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 7 2023
He looks very flat footed out there and quite frankly offering less than Caminiti.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 7 2023
I can't understand the choice of Windhager over Bytel. Bytel is faster and taller. You don't need in and under players in the last quarter - you need run.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Power Round 7 2023
Don't make excuses for him 2 weeks in a row. Most of his fumbles and turnovers are when he was freemeher baba wrote: ↑Fri 28 Apr 2023 10:52pmCrouch is playing against one of the best midfields in the comp.

Here's some perspective
The whole team was winning but that doesn't mean you look at individuals and do whats best for the team
People talk about not flirting with form. Trev from the Bush reckons they're like thoroughbreds and you just keep playing them until they show signs they need a spell
Crouch showed signs last week.
On the other hand you have a guy in hot form who is finding the footy and you don't play him. That's what I call flirting with form
Fkn Ridiculous
