Do we win that with Jake and Harley? Or Yeo and Allen?
I don’t know. All you can do is put your best team of that week out there and hope they turn up, regardless of who it is and who they’re against.
**** me, the boys turned up. Had an absolutely massive dip against a side that has been rampaging far better teams than us (if you can imagine such teams existing).
Not buying this “they have no idea how to win” shit. McCarthy’s exiting 50 creatively. Hough’s brilliant kick with all the pressure in the world. They took it on, they didn’t go into their shells. They tried to open the game up which had been working for three quarters. Sometimes when you’re 18th and missing all of the pillars of your team, you lose to the best team in footy.
A bit shit, for sure, but it’s turning. Hang in there.

- Hewett and Kelly both massive in different ways. Both have had arguably their best two games of the season in the two weeks Reid hasn’t been there to bail our mids out. Hewett’s hands, Kelly’s contested workrate (lol?). Don’t shovel dirt on him yet? Maybe?
- Shanahands. Crows backline eating people alive this year and he looked nothing like a 19 year old leading the forwardline for one of the first times.
- McCarthy, tick, makes it happen.
- Ginbey. Bloke’s 20. 200+ gamer and, when I mentioned earlier we’re missing our pillars, we’re sort of not anymore given what he’s shown this year.
- Baker, next captain, how many times can it be said
- Flynn busted his ass today. Need to address the ruck stocks badly, but it really isn’t for a lack of trying from these blokes. Archer’s cameo in there also very good.
- Didn’t get the result, a bizarre thing to be saying in a game we were 10 goal underdogs. A $1000 bet on the Crows netted you $20, that’s how heavy the favourites were. Really would have been special.
- Chesser started like the best player on earth then faded. Davis needs to pick up the speed and physicality of AFL footy, but who cares pump games for now.
- Gross one touch. I get why they subbed him off, nobody needs to like it but you tie the coach’s hands somewhat when you’re that quiet. Big offseason for him and hope he can finally get some midfield minutes because he’s wasted as this nothing HFF.
- Reid presented hard but really never gives us much as a forward. Good in the ruck though.
- Backline inundated late and we completely ran out of legs again. Such is life in many ways, but we’ve got one win and it’s almost all down to an inability to run out the last 10 minutes of games every week. Flood gates territory.
