How about missing a goal from the goal square?

Yep and nearing on 40 goals for the 5th consecutive year. Thanks for reminding me. :lol:

I was talking about him to a mate who is a Crows supporter yesterday and he has copped quite a bit of shit this year and a lot of it has been unfair criticism IMO. He has done a hell of a lot better than a lot of other players on that list

How has Motslop been this year? I have taken no notice of him whatsoever to be honest. He does my lid in and is so frustrating. He used to frustrate the shit out of me when he was at Geelong.. Has he been handy for Port or did he just have his usual one decent game in 10?
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
No
Well you haven't seen everything then have you.

Think laird probably wins it, even though he’s dropped off a bit in the second half of the year, he’s been the most consistent.

After that it’s tough. Probably crouch, even though he’s missed a lot of footy

Next would be Gibbs - purely for durability and consistency, even though he hasn’t really been a standout.

Next group would be Seedsman Jenkins dodeee Milera

Probably a good reflection of where we are at this year, Milera might be the only player who has improved significantly from last year
I would have thought Doedee has improved a fair bit. Be handy.

He's been good in the last half of the year. Getting near 40 goals again is a reasonable able effort I a side that hasn't had a great year.

I didn’t really count him given he didn’t play st all last year

But yep he’s been massive. Don’t think we really missed lever at all. Missed Charlie Cameron way more

At least Douglas was open and honest, Burton and Pyke could learn a thing or two.

RICHARD DOUGLAS: I feel we held onto the disappointment of losing the Grand Final for too long & some of us didn’t come back in the condition we’d hoped which put us on the back foot & the camp was a disaster for us.

In light of current political events : :lol:

https://westlakesjournal.com/2018/08/23 ... oses-2-42/

Retiring Adelaide Crow Sam Gibson has today shocked the nation by calling for a spill of the team leadership before nominating for captain.

Gibson announced his intentions at the at the traditional Thursday morning opposition strategy meeting, claiming that he had the numbers to overthrow current Captain Taylor Walker.

Gibson lost the ballot 2-42.

The fallout from the spill has far reaching consequences, with Adelaide Reserves ruck man Paul Hunter offering his resignation after supporting the failed Gibson bid.

Walker was said to be surprised by Hunter’s offer, mainly because he didn’t know who he was.

The Gibson camp is said to have ruled out further challenges to the captaincy.
PAFC. Forever.
