The Crows are lucky their first 10 rounds are against teams who mostly will not play top 4 footy. The next 3 weeks will see where we are at. Good thing is that Pyke is a sensational coach who seems to change the plan week to week making them unpredictable. The injuries could be forcing this....
Can you bring a man to his feet when defeat is on repeat?

Otten have the pace to not get exposed at the back?

GWS will be top 4 Port are quite good this year too
Crows fans bothered by the lack of defence? Still letting big scores get kicked against them despite scoring big themselves, seems there has been little improvement in this area since the year they beat the Bulldogs in that 1st final. They remind me of Geelong in the 90's

Personally enjoying the bigger scores & think our boys back themselves in a shootout. When an opposition gets the better of our forwards or our forwards have an off day then yes it will be a concern

Yeah dont get me wrong i love the high scoring games just not sure that it wins premierships, history tells us it doesnt often come out on top, defences win flags

GWS 91 points the highest against them the other 4 in the 80's. I can't see what you're talking about.

Hawks, Suns and us are garbage and shouldn't be scoring 60 let alone 80 against them

When youre dominating as much as the Crows in both general play and on the scoreboard i dont think the opposition should be scoring 80+. They are easy to score against, they just score easier themselves at the moment. That will change as the season wears on

Yeah keeping this form & game style going for the whole year will be next to impossible. Must admit I didn't think we would have been 5-0 at this point, was of the impression we were going to be just outside the top 4.
At this stage of the season I'm not worried about the opposition scoring 80 if we are scoring well over 100. I think the attacking gamestyle they are playing is allowing the opposition to score more. It will get tighter as the year goes on, especially in finals. The key will be if we can transition this gamestyle from regular season pressure to finals pressure.
