O’Brien had a massive game.
Done some nice 1%ers.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

All their great picks have won how many finals the last ten years?

Reigning May premiers

 

[Moonwatcher]

Gibbons on Harbrow precedent. Gibbons got off without hands on the ball. D-Mac safe. (or should be)

Youtube just gives me a lot of monkeys

You have to have Sloane in there

 

[Damp Squarie]

Thilthorpe is already proving that the "never bottom out" crew are full of sh*t.

Another top five pick this year will help greatly.

Need a midfield maestro.

Bad: The pretend Crows supporters that only ever post on the main board and never here and are always negative about the Crows.

 

[SugarShane]

The Mackay collision is very similar to Jack Viney breaking Vince's jaw in 2014. He received two weeks.

Do you mean Lynch? Viney got 2 weeks for making mashed spud of Lynch's face but the VFL humanitarian committee immediately launched a "Free Viney" campaign, because it wasn't fair for Viney to miss 2 weeks for causing Lynch to miss 8, and ultimately got him off scot free.

That was the ugliest, most beautiful game I’ve ever seen. THE FILTH!!!

My bad. Lynch couldn't catch a break with injury at that stage.

We limped in. Players injured. Continuity blah blah… Lost Smith. McGovern. Bunch of things. Don’t think we were 5 goals better on neutral ground.

I'll agree, also from memory Cameron injured first quarter.

But we still win at neutral ground or AO. And that's the AFL problem. Highest seed should have home GF.

 

[jo172]

Also notable, after that start we lose that game by 15 goals last year with Crouch x 2 and Talia.

Huge improvement

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

We never won those games under Pyke.

 

[WetCrow1991]

St Kilda parked the bus, and then the bus exploded.

 

[CrowBloke]

Riley Thilthorpe. Literally that's it. A win but let's not put a band aid over the obvious cracks.

Yeah, I feel the same.
First 1.5 quarters were abysmal; fumbly, hesitant, woeful skill-level, soft in contests.

But the steady fightback of the last 1.5 quarters was completely the opposite. At 15 points down I thought "They might pinch this" and they bloody did. I am still in shock.

In no sport does defense win games. Maybe soccer.

 

[WetCrow1991]

I may have been too harsh on Nicks last week, but * me talk about whiplash going back and forth.

Brad Crouch 36 possessions in a loss

... and still wants to play in a better (decent) side

At the time I might have agreed. But take that game aside. We lost to a team that goes on to win more flags. Martin is an unbelievable player. Big game player too. Hopefully RT is our version of Dusty. But we still need to surround him with quality. Especially in the midfield.

Unlikely in the wet but I get your point.

 

[SugarShane]

Concerning: In our last 2 first quarters we've scored 1.1 to 9.3 against some average opposition.

 

[spenze]

Why go over to their board. Who cares what they think.

It is comedy gold

 

[Moonwatcher]

... and still wants to play in a better side

Found one!

 

[DaKids]

Don’t normally worry too much about anything other than watching the kids play BUT - if you ever want an example of why Brad Crouch isn’t what you need. Here you go. Look at this smother attempt of the winning goal. I’d be be rotten if the U12’s put that effort in

 

[Ozzie]

Making the contest was.

The outcome wasn't what you want to see and he'll be suspended.

I agree because his legs were off the ground and they take a dim view of that. That said that's the hardest I've ever seen him hit a bloke.
