Such a shame only 1 team rocked up tonight. Geelong an absolute mile away from their best, fumbly, panicked, unpressured mistakes everywhere, lots of static disposals, defensively not killing the ball, allowing the Crows man-on-man method to stop their ball movement, etc.

Yes it's as much as them being crap as it is about the Crows being good.

NUFC, YES.

There's a gaping hole in the deef named Corey Enright.

They've developed to the level where their efficiency with the ball puts a lot of inferred pressure on the opposition. Pressure that isn't actually there, but makes teams fumble and lose their structure against them. That pressure creates a vicious cycle with scoreboard pressure when you don't convert chances against them, because the Crows will score. That's a given.

Basically their reputation gets into the oppositions heads and when they get ahead and are playing well they're near impossible to stop.

I think they'll make the GF. Anything else will be a massive failure from here.

Crows are the #1 team when it comes to setshot accuracy and it shows the fruits of it tonight,
Easy to be number 1 when you're taking so many shots from positions I'd back the local under 12s in to kick it from.
