Interesting comments by Bartel on the radio about the Crows and why they've imploded since the 2017 Grand Final.
Paraphrasing but he said, "Since that GF, the Crows have viewed it as a game they lost. Richmond didn't win it; they lost it. Ummm, no you didn't. Richmond was the better team and beat you up. Dusty had the season of all seasons, Cotchin had a great year as captain, Rance was the best CHB in the comp., and other Tigers stood up. Richmond did a number on you. And you can't blame it either on the game being played at the M.C.G. It wasn't as though it was a 5 or 10 point loss. Richmond not only won but they won it running away from you."
Lethal added that a GF still needs to be treated like any other game when analysing it. You review it for a week or two and then move on. Adelaide haven't stopped talking about it.
