I have just watched the game for the first time and my initial impression that it was a high standard game. We always looked (except for the last 10 minutes) to be about to tear the game open but the Crows would always answer. This game had finals like intensity,
The Western Bulldogs game was a scramble, a race to the bottom, but this game was between two sides playing well.
Hipwood is starting to look ominous and McSpray had a good game but I still think that the Big O needs to lift as a forward.
Another comment on Oscar: have a look at the effort that Martin puts into getting in front at boundary throw ins. I wish Oscar would start to do the same. Being so tall he often can reach over the top but in front is where the free kicks are and he could really start to tap to advantage.
Cam Raynor's effort to get completely under a simple high mark in the first quarter summarises his lack of possession for many weeks now. Because our games have been tight they haven't been able to 'gift' him some junk mid field time and his output is declining and his confidence may be shot. A game in the Twos? Depends if there is someone in the Twos knocking the door down.
Next four games have one at home (Hawthorn ) and three away (Freo, Blues and Saints ) Win three and finals here we come
