We are much better than last year. But I do agree we need to find a way to win the grinding games because we don't seem capable

I believe a tough draw helps you more come the business end of the season than a soft draw. Reality check, the GF tends to be played at the MCG, if I'm not mistaken, an away fixture. Win at home against the also rans all you like, win away against the contenders then you actually have something.

Only the GWS win from that lot would be considered impressive, Benny.

Richmond are still Richmond. Freo are 8th by default, and Port still can't beat a top 8 side.

Haha yeah whatever I was just trying to point out a soft/easy draw while it helps get you there is probably counter productive in as far as you don't play under constant pressure. If that's a troll, then yep I'm guilty!

Yeah Benny is spot on Corona Man

The Crows have beaten those teams and then also lost to the 9th and 13th sides.

The other issue us you all need to realise Geelong just arent that good.....we are a 6-12 team at best

It shits me how the Crows zone off the opposition when they have the ball, they refuse to come at the player and make them make a quick decision that can lead to a mistake. Cats have used that extra time to cut them up with great skills

Nobody is that good this year. It's wide open and the crows still have as good a chance as any

Thats crap they have plenty of leg speed, problem is the brain tells the legs to run and if that aint switched on you are gone.
