Adelaide's players are shouldering blame for consecutive losses which have burst the club's AFL bubble.

The Crows opened with a six-game winning streak but the two defeats have sounded alarm bells for forward Tom Lynch.

"We are obviously concerned about it, the boys are disappointed and frustrated in what we dished up," Lynch said.

"That can only rest on our shoulders. So we are going to have to do something about it."

Lynch said the Crows had slipped in contested ball numbers in both losses.

"We pride ourselves on being that contested, hard-working team and that hasn't been us the last couple of weeks," he said.

"I'm sure the review will be pretty intense ... we will review hard and take some strong learnings out of it and hopefully rectify that this week."

The Crows, who travel to play Brisbane on Saturday, copped 10-straight goals in their loss to North, then conceded nine in a row in a defeat to Melbourne.

"It's usually a real strength ours, being able to refocus and reset during games and swing back the momentum in our favour," Lynch said.

"But over the last two weeks we haven't been able to do that, so it's obviously concerning in that aspect."
