Not entirely fair. Top of his highlight reel is when he injured his neck in the Showdown and came off to let Dawson kick the winning goal after the siren. Magic stuff that.
Crouch was poor in early 2023 and rightly dropped, but to his credit knuckled down and was killing it for months before his recall round 19. Nicks payed no attention to this and was playing lesser players in the A’s for many weeks before picking him again, which came too late for us to have a...

You're right about minimal changes occurring on game day, apart from swapping defenders when one of them is getting towelled up, but I think its more about collective mindset (think no tagging a few years back, which is slowly coming back in vogue) rather than any great body of evidence that...
It's called rivalry. Port and Crows hate each other as most crosstown rivals around the world do.
Whether the other teams and supporters love, hate or are indifferent to either of us doesn't really matter that much.
The difference between his good and his bad games is stark.
Not saying he doesn’t try but he needs to get his self motivation pendulum swinging the right way
There was a story that the club had been tracking Pavlich closely for years but Blight didn't rate him, and as a dual premiership coach he held sway and we picked Ken McGregor.
Whatever the reason it cost us at least 1 if not more flags, as we had a gun midfield kicking to Ian Perrie for years.
