Murray would have to be in the top 5 of our B&F to date.
Could win a few AA jumpers in his career if he keeps up this trajectory.

Good:
4 points against a top 4 side after getting thrashed the week before.
Pedlar going to be our DeGoey - so damaging when he gets it. Big thing will be getting more of the pill as he becomes used to AFL footy.
Keays - played well in the middle...
Walker - So impactful when he gets and so important for all the intangibles. Probably 3rd on all time Crows players now behind Macca and Roo.
Bad:
I don't know whether to be happy about winning because we had less scoring shots - so I think that means our development is stalling?
Most of the 3rd quarter - Brisbane kicked 1.9 to our 3.1 - that was the difference in the game.
Ugly:
Murphy - Get him out.
This boards obsession with Sholl and his physicality. Is quietly putting together a decent season. Was very good tonight and used the ball extremely smartly in the conditions. Adds a real point of difference in our squad that isn't easily replaced.
Doedee - We need to get this guy 12 inch cleats or a test for vertigo. I didn't think he was that bad tonight, but its agonizing watching him constantly struggle to keep his feet at key moments.

Brutally tough on Sholl.
He is an incredibly intelligent and clean footballer. Thought he used it really well tonight and definitely deserves his spot in the back end of the 22.
There should be absolutely no thought to dropping him whilst Murphy and Ned are near the 22.

Age profile is far less relevant than many think. Out of the 9 games - 7 of the teams that won were younger in both Age and Average games.
Adelaide - 24.6 average age, 76.6 games v Brisbane - 26.10 average age, 132.6 games
Fremantle - 24.4 average age, 75.4 games Beat Melbourne - 26.1 years, 118.3 games
Port - 24.11 average age, 81.0 games Beat Richmond - 26.10 average age, 119.3 games
Gold Coast - 24.11 average age, 78.2 games beat Bulldogs - 26.1 average age, 102.7 games
Essendon - 24.11 average age, 79.5 games beat WC - 25.1 average age, 87.3 games
GWS - 24.11 average age, 74.9 games beat Geelong -26.11 average age, 120.3 games
Hawthorn - 24.1 average age, 67.2 games beat St.Kilda - 25.6 average age, 94.4 games
Rough on Doods everyone was slipping over lol .. felt like he brings a lot of organisation and leadership down back.
Mostly all played well really. Next week going to be a challenge against a tough Suns team.

Our best football is premiership quality.
But to win a premiership you'd need to produce that for 4 quarters, almost every week, and in finals at the MCG. We can't do that yet, but we're still building (and developing) a list that can.

Someone said last week after the Port v Melbourne game and that horrid final boundary throw, that the umpires don’t have the ability to call it back and throw it again
But it happened yesterday. And fair enough too.
Has it ever happened before?

Really good post.
To me, it was a reminder to be patient. I want good things, more wins etc, to happen more quickly.
Nicks has shown that it's a Marathon, not a sprint.
I think Nicks has been amazingly patient with the group and might even have had a five-year plan to get the team into the eight, then seriously contend. It's taken 4 of those years for the Crows to earn the respect and accolades now being shown them.
Nicks was confronted with a mess in 2020; a disunited group and Assistants not of his choosing.
He has worked through the development of players like Fogarty and Jones and shown great patience with Milera who's much better now than 10 weeks ago (he's done more with other players, too; these are just examples).
I'm having trouble to wrap my head around the long-term patience Nicks has shown.
Respect.
I've slept on the win and feel even better about it than last night.
I was thinking that their 1.9 might have been 5.5 or 6.4 on a dry deck, but that's unfair on our defensive unit and floaters like Keays who worked very hard that quarter. I think the 1.9 had a lot to do with the pressure they were under, which caused a lot of hurried kicks and miskicks. Our defence just kept at them, like a terrier. Then, we did to Brisbane what others have done to us after a lot of misses.
Brisbane was in excellent form, like the Pies and PA are now.
It was a tough, hard-scrapped, pressure win which will produce more of the same.
I just gotta be more patient.

Rarely ever B4 this year ....but has happened 2-3 times this year already
Some are claiming the Rucks are almost starting in the centre square & are too far back .....central umpires have noticeably sped up their ball throw up routines ....boundary umpires however are getting slower & slower ...and physically smaller & smaller

Its strange though..
Why wasnt it 50m?.. as soon as a player takes a mark all other players not standing the mark need to start clearing the area immediately.. the lions player stayed in the area, well over the mark, and then deliberately made contact with the player that marked the ball.
Thats 50m. It gets payed for far less.
The dive was shit from tex though..
What he shouldve done instead is just “accidently” drop the ball when the contact came pretending the contact helped knock it free from his hands.. then it wouldve been 50..

Flogs can’t help doing flog things.
Daniel Rich is a bloody cheat.And who was numero uno and numero duefor the Crows for metres gained at Adelaide Oval this afternoon/evening.....Josh Worrell and Chayce Jones that's who..
Edit
Daniel Rich went at 735 metres but 10 turnovers..
Its not fair he gets included in metres gained stats cos he kicks the ball 80 metres every time...to someone, on someone's chest, or to exactly the right spot or to a teammate's advantage. CHEAT!!
But thank you Daniel for the only two shanks in our forward line, I've ever seen you kick.

How about 50 to penalize Harris but give the free to someone else to penalize Tex

1 week sample when there was record set for upsets
Ask west coast if they’re worried re age profile
Just saying the age of our list isn't as big of an issue as people on here make it out to be.
*and it was also in response to someone saying how good it was beating an older team in a one game sample size.

Agreed. Doedee did well and Gunston had zero impact.

Someone actually posted it in the game day thread, probably tongue in cheek but it was said.
