Actually heard at the Eagles game today that they're considering pulling out due to the abuse they're copping and that Harper may have said as much at an SANFL Club meeting this week.

Did they expect any different when they signed the agreement? Surely they didn't expect to be welcomed by SANFL fans given the vibe leading up to this agreement being reached. Are they allowed to pull out given they have signed up for 10 years? We should be so lucky!

Crows over used the handball and kept handballing themselves into trouble. Norwood got numbers to the contest and tackled and harassed ferociously often forcing the error. Crows made a lot of simple mistakes and skills were fairly ordinary. The two big boys up front in Newton and Davis had a field day with both having 4 at half time. Newton ended up with 6.0 and Davis 5.2. K Mac and Chippendale also had very good games.
For the Crows, Crouch was head and shoulders above anything else they had and I cant understand why he isnt playing harder. Graham was very good in the Ruck but everyone else was fairly poor. The Crows attitude stank, several players sulked and moped around game, Johnstone and Petrenko especially were not even remotely interested. Disappointing we put the cue in the rack and didnt turn a 9 goal halftime lead into a 100 point hiding.
On the crowd, could hear a pin drop when they scored a goal, went for a walk at 3/4 time around the ground and counted 43 people wearing Crows paraphanalia, no doubt there was a few more around the place but would be really suspeised if 200 were Crows fans. Bumped into a lady I used to work with and she couldnt understand the hatred and venom from the crowd tonight, she has been to plenty of games this year but thought tonights was the most abusive she has witnessed.

Did you watch the game. Crouch had a heap of it but it was one of the worst 35 touch games i have seen. He was terrible.

I was at the game. Yes he turned the ball over a bit but he was still their best by country mile. Got a heap of little dinky kicks and overused the handball but atleast he had a crack and was willing to go in and get it unlike most of his team mates. And I still think he is better than a few of the guys who played in Hobart yesterday
