North Melbourne's kick in the guts after another close loss A furious Brad Scott leaves the field. FURIOUS North Melbourne coach Brad Scott has accused his players of being mentally weak after they surrendered a 30-point lead in the last quarter to lose by a point against Adelaide. The Crows, who booted the last five goals of the game, hit the front with 16sec left on the clock. Scott said he would "hammer and hammer and hammer and hammer" his players until he saw who could stand up. "At the moment it is not good enough and we are not putting up with it," he said. It will mean we will put them through tough situations repeatedly and see who can stand up. Those who get dropped will drop themselves. After one-kick losses to Geelong (four points), Hawthorn (three) and West Coast (two) and now Adelaide, Scott promised to turn players over in a bid to find those with the mental strength after he said they lost the "unlosable" game. "If you weren't there watching it first hand, it's unbelievable," a shaken Scott said. The ability to lose the unlosable is just absolutely diabolical in the end. Crows stun Kangaroos Scott said the question would and should be asked of his players if they were mentally tough enough. "And the answer to that at the moment is a resounding no," he said. It was abysmal, following a pattern of being able to put ourselves in winning positions regularly and getting five or six goals up and not be able to do what good sides do and that is put the foot to the throat of the opposition and start squeezing. Good sides do it and we don't so that pretty simply doesn't make us a good side at the moment. Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson admitted after the game that he was still in shock as he tried to explain how his side had won. "It's a bit of a blur really," Sanderson said. He said there was confusion with the scoreboard showing that the Crows were two goals down when they were only one goal in arrears when Sam Kerridge kicked his sixth goal of the game at the 26-minute mark of the last quarter. The Crows had two heroes in the end - Kerridge whose goals all came in the second half and Jared Petrenko who hacked a ball out of mid-air through for a goal which gave the Crows the lead for the first time in the game with 16 seconds to go. "I almost panicked really," Petrenko said. I didn't know who was around me so I thought I'd kick it out of the air. Thankfully it went straight. Make: CanonModel: Canon EOS-1D X
