Great seeing Fog arrive as a key forward. 4 goals, 20 disposals. His break out game.




My main negative is the use of Dawson and Doedee.


Dawson has effectively replaced Dawson as the loose defender. Did we really want that to happen.

This was needed when Doodee had to be a KPD with either Butts or Murray out. They are both back now, what is his role? He looks lost he what he is doing.


Time to play Dawson up the ground and give Doedee his role back. Otherwise we really have not gained anything trading in Dawson as Doedee is a very good Interceptor/Loose Defender.

Pretty mature performance from the baby Crows. Danger game at a ground that brings out the worst of Adelaide, brought it to a grind after North got a bit of momentum, outlasted them and turned it into a pretty big win.

Fogarty:

Darcy Fogarty - Breakout game with a capital B.
Tex absolutely cashed in with a 6 goal haul.

Good:

Laird, Dawson, Keays, Butts all had pretty standard performances for this year.
Murray had some pretty top notch moments throughout, and honestly looked alright in his little spurt in the ruck. I'd probably be for experiment as a centre mid sometime in the future after that performance (though, not for another season or two).
O'Brien probably played his best game for the year. Looked good in marking contests in particular.
Schoenberg had a good 2nd half. Kicking, composure and awareness really picked up as well which is very promising going into the last two months.
Jones looked good in his sub performance.
Soligo, Berry, Rowe had some nice moments.

Bad:
Milera just is a baffling footballer at times.

Ugly:
Hamill and McAdams injuries. Especially Hamill, poor guy just can't get a run at it.
 
Want to know why Matt Crouch's disposal numbers are meaningless? Look no further

Crouch last week - 5 score involvements (31 disposals)
Schoenberg this week - 4 score involvements (13 disposals)
People bagging rowe, 14 disposals 7 score involvements.
 
Club's going to get a please explain about the phone in the rooms.
Parnell a non-entity. The Hamill head-knock could help his career ascend from Jono Beech level trivia to Tongerie/Mail levels of "What could have been" at least.

Meh. Calling your parents after a serious head knock should be ok.

It's only when you're forced to watch North Melbourne for an entire match that you realize how bad they are.

Terrible list, good players playing like s**t, no gameplan at all, bizarre coaching moves... rabble
It’s not surprising Horne-Francis wants out. He trains with these guys day in, day out.
Hopefully he was watching Fogarty thinking he could lace him out ten times a match for 9 goals.
 
Not a lot of good from this game.
Walker, Dawson, Fogarty.

Bad
ROB
McHenry

Ugly
Where both clubs are at.
A perfect summation. North are a basket case. Our skills were not good, it was just that North are too hopeless to make us pay.

Let's measure where we are really at against the Dees next week, suspect they may have us under a bit more pressure than North.

For the AFL - WTF can you do about North, only have a first and a fourth rounder this draft
 
Aaron Hall from North had 38 disposals and 1171 meters gained and, I felt, no influence on the game whatsoever
Probably because he took the kick ins.

If JHF stays there, he will be as disinterested as Taryn Thomas in a couple of seasons time.

A wasted talent.
