Perfervid scrutiny of Round 15

[bennymacca]

Never mind Lyons kicks one

[Jim05]

What excellent play by Cameron. Could be an all Australian winger if he keeps doing stuff like that

Can't believe that no one apart from the Hawks have worked him out. Is great at getting into space and running but is the softest player in the AFL. No surprise that the Hawks players threw a few gut punches in early and he went missing. Teams need to be physical with him or he will cut you up

Plenty softer than him jim. Especially for a 37 gamer.

But yep hawks are great at putting work into guys like that

[bennymacca]

Kent craps his dacks. Great handball from tex too

Not sure about plenty softer, Hill from the Hawks is probably the only one close in the softness stakes but he knows his strengths and weaknesses and plays accordingly

[bennymacca]

Haha Hartigan had the stupidest grin on his face

[bennymacca]

Pretty proud of the boys today. Thought this was a danger game and we haven't really played well at all but found a way to win relatively easily in the end

[Robran]

Think we may have got away with one. But happy to get exact margain lol

The very best teams do - look at hawthorn this year.

So I almost see it as a positive that we didn't play that well and still win comfortably

[Brodlach]

Played ordinary but take the win

You Crows guys crack me up.
Money for jam today, this rabble of a side lost to us so should hold no fear for any half decent side.
Pissed off that they cost me a multi though as I had them for 40+.
There is a huge gap between the top 8 and the rest this year

[bennymacca]

We were never winning 40+. Not sure why but I was always worried about this one

[MW]

Played like shit today and still won on the road, good sign but won't win against better sides turning it over like that

[carey]

Wow.

[LaughingKookaburra]

Yes a bit ambitious.

The thing that sticks out to me about the Crows mainly is that they are bloody well coached come match day. Every game this year they have played they have been in a position to win each game during the last quarter. Their top end talent up forward, majority of their defence and ruckman are upper end quality. The next tier mainly are very well organised and know their roles very well. There are a few that would struggle to get a kick at other clubs. Also been incredibly lucky with injuries so far. But let's also be honest. Last year they had a good run too so there could be something they are doing different with player management compared to the rest of the comp. If they lost kpp long term they would be stretched.

The Crows remind me kind of WCE of last year, however last year I questioned how WCE would go in a deadset 1 on 1 street fight come finals time against seasoned, proven opposition rather than rely on their on field structure and positioning to pressure opposition in to coughing the ball up. I think this would be a fair critique of the Crows until they prove otherwise. This year however even though they are top, Hawthorn appear not as strong but I'd never write them off. We'll know more in 2 weeks I reckon with the Hawks.

Yep if we win our next 2, you can give us the 4peat now, will finish top.
Lose our next 2 and its almost season gone, wont make the 4.
Im very worried that we are sitting top a game clear and the players might get ahead of themselves and not realize how important the next 2 are for our season. Reaching the top could be the worst thing that has happened for us this year as we are not going that well.
Really want Swans to beat Geelong this week, will give us a better chance next week against the Swans, also means it would open up a 2 game gap on these 2 teams who imo are our biggest challengers

[MW]

That is gold...never heard a supporter disappointed they are a game up sitting on top of the ladder

As opposed to Crows fans who throw Premiership parties when they are on top, circa early-mid 2000's, how did that workout?
Hell they dont even have to be on top, just put a couple wins together and the lids well and truly off

[MW]

You continue to be disappointed in top mate, you'd be much better off down the ladder lol my god
