    They generated more chances i'll give you that..but like a missed kick anywhere on the ground goal kicking is part of playing well.

    Crows were robbed, there was a clear 50 they missed v Cox running through the protected area and then that last decision wow that's a season killer.
    Both are true. Bombers were +20 for inside 50's and dominated territory - they should have almost been out of sight by half time.

    Crows were also robbed late as you mentioned.

    Ah yep.

    Dons have done well with some lesser light picks. Hobbs, Durham, Martin add a lot.

    Theyre looking ok.

    Draper might've dragged it in but Walker also gave him a Randy Savage elbow drop posing as a tackle. Also skill issue if you don’t wanna lose then don’t be behind at the end.

    It will be interesting to see the level of scrutiny on Nicks. A team that should be pushing for finals is at 1-5. Not good enough considering the talent.

    What talent apart from Dawson? Everything is overhyped in Adelaide. They have an unhealthy reliance on past it players like Walker and O’Brien.

    You could insert any two teams in here and the picture would be unchanged.

    They look like baby birds begging for a feed.

    The Crows supporter base has been pretty critical. Especially regarding his unwillingness to play the younger guys, which they have started to do more the last few weeks.
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    Especially after extended him early which is what we did. There is nothing wrong with a wait and see to earn that extra 2 or more years.

    They've got too many similar types and lack a real spine. Walker is ancient.
    They are missing Tilthorpe for sure.
    They have so many flanker types Pedlar, Rachele, et al i think they are a fair way away.

    Port looked awesome for 20 minutes and then 2023 Collingwood showed up and have absolutely pulled them apart. Pies have gone from 5 goals down to 33 points up in 2 quarters. Port are absolutely rattled.

    Five touches, only two kicks, in nearly a whole game of footy. He gets some hit outs for sure, but doesn’t do much more than that.

    Edit:

    Averaged 8.18 touches and 21.36 hit outs for us at AFEL Level.

    First up, 5 touches and 21 hit outs.
