Kudos to NC

[Damp Squarie]

No doubt Craigy would've been hung, drawn and quartered by now had the Crows been beaten; even by a small margin.

So good on him for getting the boys right for a damn important game and giving them the faith to on with it without Rob and Stiffy.

He gives the players credit for our mental state but if he didnt have an impact on our third quarter where we carted 7 goals to one Id be very surprised.

I hope he gets 'em in the same frame of mind this week.

I was impressed with whoever put Goodwin to the BP

 

[Mad Dog]

Made a couple of good moves...

I must admit - being an old coote.....I quite like the idea of a ruckman resting up forward..........

I notice that when Huddo rested up forward - it threw the Dog defense out as they battled to cover Huddo, Chicken Man, Perrie, Stevo and Welsh.

The shorter defense was exposed even more and while Huddo didn't contribute directly while resting......it gained a 5% advantage on the ripple effect as each defender had to move up one.

Worth trying every now and then IMO

The Huddo move would have appeard been better if he kicked straight. He took a few good marks but missed 2(?) kicks at goal IIRC. He played the game out to our strengths very well.

was perrie playing in defence ?

was perrie playing in defence ?

No. He played CHF.

No. He played CHF.

not sure what i was drinking then - the bundy must have been a bit stronger

I do realise he kicked a couple of goals, however he seemed to be forever on the wings and inside the centre square

Good bundy then... thats his brief... to drag the CHB out and make him accountable and to open the forward line up

If the CHB stays home then Perrie is a loose man..if he follows Perrie the FB has little protection

This is why it was annoying that Perrie didnt drag Michaels out last week against Essendon

I quite like Perrie further up the ground - gives you that strong marking target and leaves him away from the sticks for set shots. I've noticed that he seems to be a better kick for goal on the run as opposed to a set shot.

Someone said to me before he took his first set shot at goal that he is the worst she has ever seen at set shots..............I said to her 'worse than Clarke' she said worse than Clarke, sure enough Hudson puts it OOF...........Marty admits that he is worse than Clarke
