Right foot is his preferred but also proficient on his left.

I think i'd take his non preferred over a lot of AFL players preferred

So Brisbane went from basketcase to overflowing with talented players who can't get a game within the space of 2-3 years?

Yes they have. This outcome to be known forever more as the Burton Hass Exit effect.
The most amazing part to me (apart from how amazingly bad the kick was, I mean) is that he didn't slow down, didn't break stride, just did his little party trick at full speed. One of those things that just happens in the spur of the moment and he'd look back on it afterwards and think "how the hell did I do that?". You could put him in the same situation again a hundred times and he wouldn't be able to repeat it on purpose.

Should have gone with a look-away/no-look handball that bounced off the ground between the legs of a GWS player to a teammate who subsequently goaled.

Someone must have given him a rocket or maybe caffeine pills. He was basically sleepwalking through games until a couple of weeks ago.
To be fair, the ball was never down his end, and when it occasionally got near, it was a 2 on 1 and kicked to the defender's advantage.
Not sure if this has already been posted but this article is very refreshing to read

Crows' first win keeps the circling vultures at bay
Crows have enough positives to take from season 2020

A real shame that he is "too short" to be a good midfielder !!
Bad? I hope he gets 2 weeks and then retires. Noted, he has been playing better, but we have plenty of kids who can get 14 touches and then spot up an opponent with no pressure!
Maybe we should draft Will Phillips as well?
Really, in a horrible year, we have discovered some very unpredictable yet positive things about our list.

It has been a very long time, perhaps its never happened, since I have seen a Crows side play with the pressure that we have in the past 3 weeks. It hasnt always been pretty but its been rather effective.
Jones - As I mentioned in his thread, he had a 'nearly' game. Ran to the right spots, put pressure on his opponents and took a great contested grab. Just didnt have the polish required.
Brad - The last 2 weeks have shown that we really cant lose in the Crouch situation. If he stays and plays like this we win, if he leaves and these performances drive up his price we win. Another really good game
Murphy - As usual, if he finishes his work it probably ends up a big game..... but he didnt and he keeps himself on the edge.
Matt - Fantastic again, playing like the leader he is meant to be.
Kelly - Not awful, but still not very good.
Sloane - Kicked a goal right when we were being challenged in the 3rd, and once again pushed the ball forward however he could.
Talia - Seems more proactive this year, I wonder if the rest we gave him has anything to do with it.
Tex - Yeah not a great night from the big fella but he still did a couple of nice things.
Mackay - Customary shank at goal aside, yet another pretty good night out for DMac.
Hartigan - Not as good as the last couple but he didnt do a whole heap wrong.
Brown - See above.
Stengle - Another solid night for the Wombat, just looks so creative and composed with ball in hand, and marks the ball in the hands very well
McAdam - Just keeps getting better and better
Schoenberg - Much like Jones, had a 'nearly' night. Still kept hunting the ball which was good to see.
Keays - Close to the recruit of the season IMO, considering where he came from.
Laird - Midfield maestro, why has it taken so long ??
Fogarty - Presented well, pressured the ball carrier as good as I have seen in, just didnt finish his work.
Smith - Another solid game off half back, will go close on MB Medal night
Himmelberg - Well, well, well - I am very sorry Big Easy, youre finally doing what we all hoped you would but feared you wouldnt.
McPherson - Didnt put a foot wrong again, has a wise head on young shoulders.
ROB - Flukey snap that shouldve been stopped aside, ROB showed everyone just exactly why hes the No1 man. Absolutely dominated Sauce around the ground and in the middle. FWIW I didnt like the smattering of boo's Sauce got either.

You're bumping posts from 2016 where you call for Otten on a flank and bragging about it?
Bravo.
My thought: some of our fans are really going overboard getting punch drunk from a few cheap wins at the back of a 13 loss season.

I'd be OK with Lynch back in but to replace Tex. In some of our shockers he was the only one with play making ability that resulted in our goals so I don't think he's been as bad as many suggest.

Live it felt Jones was ordinary but watching the replay and looking for him a bit more he wasn't too bad. Certainly puts the body pressure and looks to hurt the opposition. Sure he still blunders some things up but I think he will get it together.
I remember most of this board getting frustrated to hell with Milera in his first couple seasons then his move down back he showed what he can really do.
I'd back Jones to start looking like an AFL player next year. His pace will be beneficial once things really click.

We had a chance to cash in by trading Lynch last contract. No one will take him now on his full wage but if we pay half his wage next year we may get a late 2nd round pick similar to Jenkins.
