    Not that I rate GWS hugely, but the Crows are running all over them atm. Intercepting nearly everything and using the footy really well.
    Himmelberg (GWS one) took a cracker of a grab. Shame nobody was there to see it.

    So far my tips are up the creek, but I did pick Crows.

    Mine are a mess. Went GWS but not with any confidence.
    GWS pulled back a bit there but Crows have been far better. Love Rachele in the midfield. Rankine’s been dangerous up forward. Really like their ball movement and play style.

    A similar incident to what Picket did just happened in the GWS/Ade game.

    Didn’t quite launch himself up like Kossie Pickett did, but McAdam absolutely smashed the GWS player. Reminded me of Byron Pickett.
    In fact both incidents did. Which isn’t good

    Giants came back hard to take the lead. Crows up by 5 points at 3/4 time. Pretty entertaining game. Tom Green having about a gazillion touches.

    Giants will be lucky to finish with 18 fit players in a heat wave. Players down with cramp everywhere. Crows still a huge chance

    Just having some looks at the stats between Essendon and Hawthorn and only 9 Essendon players have laid a tackle by half time.
    While they're leading on the scoreboard that isn't a great stat.

    I'm not watching the game but at half time the scores were close and that stat stood out.
