They've been down by 3-4 goals in the first quarter nearly every week and are 6-2. Not sure what you mean.

All in all very good numbers, but you don't notice him because he's not in there winning it for himself as the gun midfielders do.

We certainly moved the ball quicker than previous years in the GWS game but Cameron and Milera have added some good speed through there when they go through.
Crows are certainly a quick side these days, but without trying to be a downer, how much of their perceived speed on the weekend came from the fact GWS lost two rotations in the first half on a hot day?
i reckon its been gradually improving since Pyke has been coach. He immediately brought in Knight and Atkins at the expense of players like grigg who we all thought would be next in line.
And adding cameron and now milera has just added to that.

There was a lot of talk on here recently about viney being a bully and not finding the footy and it costing them the game in the last qtr.
It was great to see that unsociable footy work for Melbourne on the weekend and get one back.
I didn't subscribe to the notion "he's all talk", "he's a crab", "one dimensional" etc...
The bloke can clearly play & is a good fit for those around him.

Nothing happens with his possessions, if the opp were concerned about him he wouldnt be getting 35 touches. Alot of Licuria about him.
