Slovenia have been watching old tapes of the Crows and come up with their own power stance for the anthem! Wish Kayo and 7+ had split screen sharing.

wonder if they will go on a camp after the Olympics

Defence has been immense. Butts has just replaced Talia seamlessly.

Fog and Jones had some key moments out of the youngsters.

Sberg been great (midfield in general been very good).

Cook looking comfy in his first game. Don't think he'll hang around in the reserves for very long.

Lynch probably bog. Not sure how he gets such a bad wrap.

Tackling much much better.

Mackay has been absolutely woeful. Not even just the usual non event. He's providing well into the negative.
Dmac might as well be wearing a powa jumper.
 
Best David Mackay moments:

Running towards goal, then tries a snap and stubs his foot on the ground and it goes nowhere

Misses from 5 metres out slight angle

Big play running towards goal so he hospital handballs it to a team mate 10 metres ahead

Running forward with players in the open and kicks it into the man on the mark

Cook has had a great debut, and I absolutely loved Jones owning Fantasia on the wing earlier.

Mackay has been a complete liability aside from one good pass to Fog - the man just seems to exist to thwart any positive build up.

Would have to hold the AFL record for possession chain breakdown contributions by now.

For once in a way, I'm actually getting a chance to watch this live! Kids all in bed, work can be put off until tomorrow, and have the loungeroom to myself. Glad they've put in a good performance for me, otherwise it would be painful without being able to fast forward between goals :p

Quality pressure across the ground. We're lacking class but have the sheer want to affect the ball. Loved McHenry and Fogarty, they've had a quality half. The forward line has shown it can function without Walker. Cook has been good in his debut so far. Doedee exceptional as always, Butts solid as a rock. Haven't minded Kelly's game either. Schoenberg has made the most of limited opportunities and has been classy. On the other hand, Sloane is just a shell of himself at the moment. It hurts to watch. His pressure has been decent, but any time he gets a chance to do something with the ball he just can't quite do it. I wish he had just taken the rest of the season off. And Mackay has had an anti-Schoenberg game, plenty of opportunities but has wasted most of them. Decent kick to Fogarty's lead though.

I know I'm in the minority here but I still like Lynch and think he has a place in the side. In general I always think a side can turn things around from wooden spooner to premiership contender in around three years if everything goes right, so the question is, could Lynch still be contributing for us in three years time? I think so.

I went early (rare for me :p) this year to say that McHenry did not have an AFL future, and almost from the week I've said it he has been on a steady uphill trajectory. One silly free kick aside, I've loved his game today. Set the tone early with some important tackles/smothers and has worked his backside off. He thoroughly deserves his two goals.

I'll admit, I've been watching the matches lately not really caring if we win or lose - but this is a Showdown! Of course we need to win this one! Get over the line boys :thumbsu:

Edit: Oh, one more - Chayce Jones has been excellent down back. His elevation from fringe midfielder on the cusp of delisting to high quality backline player has been so fast, it's almost hard to remember when we were talking about trying to salvage a mid-draft pick by trading him. He's looked confident the last few weeks, which he never has at AFL level before.

Half time thoughts:

Schoenberg is my new favourite player. This kid is legit.
Jones getting better and better. Been really good
Ned's getting rewarded
We are getting to paranoid about kicking to Aliir that we aren't kicking at all!
Fog!
Thilthorpe getting beat but needs games to learn
Umpires in a massive circle jerk with Power players. We've been robbed on multiple occasions.


Bring in another half like that
