Time for Laird to replace Smith at half back.

[@MI1984.]

Always a better player in the backline

[@trevorbower4716]

I hope you're playing at half back this week.

[@gusstarick657]

back pocket

[@vitamind338]

He doesn't read these comments you know. SMDH.

[@dan_the_man18]

Put him back at half back

[@gusstarick657]

this man must have a long mewing streak

[@jkandte]

This guy is a huge issue, needs to be put up for trade while he’s still worth something. He’s not a first choice midfielder anymore. We don’t need more 30 possession useless stat padded games

[@Elite23440]

“A huge issue” get off it you gronk

[@el-violador]

While I've been for Laird spending less minutes in the mid this season, with Crouch down he is going to be important for pressure and distribution. Now that he's not having a(nother) B&F quality season the whingiest fans have turned on him pretty quick but he held our midfield together during our deepest rebuild years. We also need to pray that Tex and Dawson get over the line. Our side is really struggling to cover the injuries/form this season due to the relative lack of depth. Hopefully we can get a couple at the trade and free agency table this off season to take the strain off of that in 2025

[@mikethomas4842]

Kane Cornes identified the issue. Our midfield have no impact on the game.

[@margaretskuse4281]

Cornflakes wouldn't know don't read or listen to him

[@jeffreysteelflex8155]

Also due to nicks gameplan by not being brave enough to adjust the midfield mix

[@williamporter2867]

The crows have a pretty good game plan/ style to watch when in full flight but when off 5% it is crap. Playing catch up footy makes them look loosers and they lose badly. In my view no game cs

[@markneville9723]

Smith has had a poor season so far.
Time try play the younger players.
Kieran Strachan plays a block
of games otherwise this time
I know Collingwood will offer
him a significant deal to move
at the end of the year.
Kieran as a player is not valued
by the Crows Coaches.
Time to leave KS.

[@grumpyoldbum]

and dropped to the 2nd too laird waste more kicks than anyone in the team
