The former Hawthorn skipper, premiership player and Brownlow Medallist was charged with reviewing Richmond's surprising loss to Port Adelaide. He shirked the task completely.
Instead of identifying the Tigers he believed had let their teammates down, he urged viewers to watch the first five minutes of the game and make their own decision.

Who was Crawf referring to?
-
The effort of the team. Was noticeably pitiful early, we couldn't get the ball past the centre and Port were doing nothing special.

So Crawf wasn't really referring to any specific individual Tigers smokey; the whole team was basically to blame?

If he refers to the first 5 minutes then that's my assumption OE. We were shocking early in the first quarter, it's like we just couldn't be stuffed trying and we never looked like getting the ball forward. No run, no pressure, no back-up, no intensity. And it's not like Port we playing out of their skins, their intensity was average at best but it was miles better than ours. That's what I take him to be referring to.

In the first five minutes it looked like we had no appetite for the contest. Port won all the hard gets while we were standing around waiting for the loose ball to come out. No one wanted to be the one who actually went in and got the pill.
We were satisified being second to the ball and then trying to win it back via a tackle. The tackles weren't particularly successful either.

Our slow starts this year have been generally poor. Par for the course unfortunately.
Only this week it didn't improve.
