Dont want to sound one eyed

But Grundy has quite legally with superior strength pushed Jacobs out of the way at ruck contests numerous times

But if Tom Hawkins does that - like last week against Nataniu then hes penalised - in fact he is allways penalised - the umpires are just plucking that because Hawkins isnt a bonafide umpire - which is totally unfair

So unless the Crows are playing at the Adelaide Oval under perfect conditions they really aren't anything special are they.

Missing the crouch boys hurts massively tonight, and Charlie Cameron leaving is hurting them more than they will want to admit.. Especially with the end seemingly approaching Eddie at a rapid rate.

Also they can only play one of Jenkins or Walker, both only play well when they are winning, can't afford to carry them both.. Better off playing McGovern and Fogarty who are young and both try their arses off

True story about Grundy.
He met with Melbourne before he was drafted.
One of the coaches said his long hair made him look soft so he said "I'd fit in well here then"
They didn't take him.
I'd heard stories about his interviews and how there was talk he deliberately was a ******* to some clubs so they wouldn't draft him

Tex is one of the most overrated players I have seen, must be a good leader, but for his reputation, doesn’t do enough when the heat is on at the moment. I think he has the ability to take the next step but just doesn’t seem to, but doesn’t get any heat for not.

Bit like Andrew McCleod - Neesham the Fremantle coach didnt like his ear ring and his ccock sure attitude - and traded him for Groom - that was a monumental feuck up that

One thing I heard was that, even when being belted, Collingwood still kept working hard. And from what felt from Buckley over the past few years, was that he really preached the 'play for each other' ethos. If they ever get the cattle, they could be tough over a whole season.

Bit of a Hardwick thing going on...

I listened to the 1st half on the radio in the car - and M Blight was doing the special comments with Hudson calling

And he was scathing of the Crows - his exact words - Grundy has smashed Jacobs in the ruck . He mentioned that Sloane 1 kick to half time - had gone missing in another big game - and in the 2nd half - should be played as a tagger against Pendlebury to learn a bit about accountable football

I like his special comments - got a very sharp tongue
