In terms of on field leadership, Sloane is the one that has gone missing and I never thought I would say that.
It's those around Sloane that aren't doing their job, he needs some protection, he cops a heavy tag and there's no one looking after him to enable him to get into the best position to get the ball.
Crouch or someone need to crash into the player who is trying to crash into Sloane, he is the engine but he's not getting any help, he is still the leading tackler in the comp.
Which one?

The Crouch brothers and Adelaides other mids just need to get more agressive. We all know Curnow will go to Sloane and be in his face all game. Before the first bounce as a group go after Curnow. Then spend time on Murphy.
Everytime you are near Curnow, get in to him.
Its been a while since I was good enough to play football at a high enough level, but things never change. We hsed to give taggers so much stick it wasnt funny. Everytime you go past him, youn are into him.

Wow I hope Ed doesn't read this!
He won't be able to sleep knowing the Crouch brothers are coming after him!

He isn't the quickest bloke, but his stoppage work has been as good as anyones in the comp over the past 7-8 years, and he is a seriously strong unit.. I imagine Ed Curnow wouldn't be enjoying the treatment he could cop from him.. We got bullied around the contest in our losses, and I think it will be a blueprint for sides moving forward against us. Especially finals when its accepted that it becomes a brutal contested style of play

If finals are what the crows are looking to play this year then surely Thompson comes back in to give some grunt in your midfield.
Who cares how old he is, he's clearly still better than the Crouch brothers IMO.

They won't drop either Crouch for Thommo though, that's why he won't play cause that's just adding more slow inside types into a midfield who needs some poise and polish with the ball.

Lynch ruled out.
Doesn't look good for Cameron.
