    I joined 168477, which is the code you gave to Daniels Riches. If that is the wrong one, I can drop out and join a different one. On the cash, I thought I processed Thursday but not in my statement. Must not have clicked 'confirm'. I just sent through cash now. Receipt number 178111, Reference...

    Analysis Defensive Stocks.

    Agree with your midfield issues but not all of the moves. M Crouch needs to come in, not just for his clearance work, but his defensive work. He keeps the ball in the contest and stop it from leaking out. However, sloane to half back won't achieve much because he's not fast, nor is he a long...

    Review Good Bad and Ugly V Western Bulldogs - R21 2013

    I prefer the Popovich approach. Doesn't matter if you're Leonard or Duncan. Nobody is above the team and if you deserve it, then you cop it. No doubt that other players deserved a spray so Rutten took one for the team, but someone had to.

    What was your lowest point this year?

    Tex - just felt horrible for the guy. WC game - i was in a bad mood for days after that. Port game - more in shock than anything. With our finals chances gone, the one thing I wanted before the season ended was to beat Port. Then my brain had to try and process what the hell happened in the last...

    Chokers!

    So the conversation can't evolve? Didn't know we were restricted to one topic. Total effective disposals: GAJ is 3rd, swan is 4th, Fyfe is 67th Eff disposals per game: GAJ is 3rd, swan in 8th, Fyfe is 63 I sense you edited your post to include fyfe to support your argument. What is your point?

    Chokers!

    They may have same clanger to possession ratio, but where pendlebury excels is that he is 1st in AFL for total effective disposals ans 2nd in effective disposals per game for 2013. By comparison, thommo is 30th for total eff disposals and 66th in AFL per game for 2013. This is also in a year...

    Chokers!

    If you checked my history of posts, you'd see I'm far from a negative poster. Agree that less possessions for him are a good thing as other players are sharing the load. But based on watching the 4th quarter again, I'll still stick with what I saw, which was Thompson being a step behind in...

    Chokers!

    Around the stoppages, it was Thompson. And noticed clearly that he was a step behind Boak at every contest. Boak continued to lead him to the ball and once he has it, has the running power to get away from Thompson. Boak's last 5 mins were incredible and even if he didn't get clear possession...

    Chokers!

    There was also some decision making issues. On this image (sorry about the quality), Smith was pushing the Port player boundary side. You can see Grigg running past the port player with the ball to man up his player, who was also boundary side (I assume this is the case given he is sprinting...

    Chokers!

    The game was so close that it was always going to come down to the team that finished the game with the momentum. Port got it back with 6 mins left and we could do nothing to reverse it.

    Chokers!

    While the Monfries bounce no doubt hurt, there was another really bad bounce just before wingard kicked the sealer. The ball was near the port 50m arc and was knocked into their 50. The ball was carrying toward smack and should have comfortably bounced toward him but it hit the ground, bounced...

    Player Watch Rory Laird

    I do dread having him as an analyst for crows games. Then again, we've had Roo the last few weeks so it tends to even out. I don't think Crouch or Laird are the type of players that will every get much recognition in their careers. Not flashy, no nonsense. But the kinds of players every team...

    Player Watch Rory Laird

    'On the Couch' last night were talking about Tom Mitchell, saying he could win the rising star award. No mention of Crouch or the fact he's averaged more possessions over more games. I know disposals is a simple indicator but for all rising stars, Crouch tops the list for possessions a game...

    Changes Vs The Crows in Teal Est 1870/97

    True. Hoff dominated everyone in the first 4 or 5 week of the season. But I'd still back talia in. Unfortunately as we did with grigg, I'm expecting hartigan to be dropped after a promising debut for rutten.

    Changes Vs The Crows in Teal Est 1870/97

    Rutten on Shultz, hartigan on butcher, Talia following hoff. Otten will get dominated by westhoff around the ground. Talia is not highly mobile but feel he'd be more effective than otten.

    Give us 26 set shots from 20-30m out directly in front and you might just get your wish.

    Changes Vs The Crows in Teal Est 1870/97

    Whilst I'm all for developing the kids, I'd rather drop otten and bring rutten in. We need some experience in defence. I wouldn't want that same back 6 to play every game for the rest of the year. Especially someone like Hartigan.He needs Talia and Rutten there as support.

    How about the crows learn to kick the ball straight?

    The only points you should be concerned about is the 4 premiership points you are ahead of carlton. Because if you lose on the weekend and carlton win, your only hope might be taking essendon's spot in the top 8. :eek:

    Changes Vs The Crows in Teal Est 1870/97

    I reckon it was a throw-away line from VB in suggesting we have flexibility and options. He also said LJ can't do anything more to earn selection in the same presser. It was a typical interview where the footballer remains cagey and gives a general, diplomatic response.

    How about the crows learn to kick the ball straight?

    Probably my biggest frustration in an overall frustrating year. Freo game was a reflection of our season. We needed 6.5 inside 50s to kick 1 goal. They only needed 3 inside 50s per goal. We work so hard and have multiple 50 entries to get in a position to score (and miss the goal), only for the...

    Changes Vs The Crows in Teal Est 1870/97

    85.7% DE, equal 4th highest in the team albeit with only 7 possessions. Not sure what we're doing with Tambling. He played well enough last week to get a full game. I dont think anyone is expecting a late career surge from him. What we've seen from him is as good as we'll get. So either play...

    When you say "bottom 8 club" are you referring to teams like Melbourne and the dogs who leave youngsters in week after week, ultimately destroying their confidence and hindering their development with loss after loss? Because I'd much rather we blood youngsters slowly next to our more...
