This week on Proper Crows, we break down Adelaide’s clash with St Kilda, and it’s one that leaves us with a few questions.

We dive into where things didn’t quite click, whether it was a structural issue or just one of those off nights, and which players still stood tall despite the result. Was it a bad game, or are there signs of something bigger we should be paying attention to?

There’s plenty to unpack, from effort and execution to selection debates and what this means heading into next week against Brisbane.

The Crows got the job done against Carlton in Gather Round, but it’s fair to say it didn’t feel completely convincing.

This week on Proper Crows, we break down a win that probably raises as many questions as it answers. There were patches of strong footy and moments where the Crows looked in control, but also lapses that kept Carlton hanging around longer than they should have.

We chat through the inconsistency, the key moments that papered over some cracks, and which players stood up when it mattered. Plus, a look at what still needs tightening up if this side is going to take the next step.

A win’s a win, but there’s plenty to unpack.

This week on Proper Crows, we try (and fail) to keep our cool after one of the most frustrating losses in recent memory against the Fremantle Dockers.

From the all-too-familiar slow start to yet another “almost” comeback, it’s the same script that’s driving Crows fans up the wall. We dig into how this game was effectively lost in the first half, why we continue to get smashed in the contest early, and what it says about this group right now.

Of course, we couldn’t go past that moment, Reilly O’Brien’s costly late turnover. We break down not just the error itself, but the bigger question: why was he in the side to begin with? It opens up a wider conversation around selection integrity, accountability, and whether the coaching staff are sticking with players out of loyalty rather than form.

Plenty of heat, plenty of frustration, and a brutally honest look at where the Crows are at after a 1–3 start.

If you’ve been yelling at your TV, this one’s for you.

In this weeks episode, Ben and Matt go through the loss to the Cats from last Thursday night including the controversial ARC decision that has been a wide talking point in the AFL Community.

We also look forward to our Good Friday clash with Freo and preview where we think the game will be won and lost!
