Talia's in great form at the moment. Moving a lot better than last year and covering more ground.

Not sure how much was due to the loss of Tex, and how much was due to the decreased output from Greenwood & Crouch in the midfield (due to fatigue). With Greenwood & Crouch virtually disappearing, the Coasters got well on top in the midfield - particularly in the first half of the 3rd quarter. Not much forwards can do when the midfield is being soundly beaten.Losing Tex hurt the forward line. He rely runs that group and makes a lot of our poor I50s better just due to his be demands guys position themselves.
When he went off they were lost.
I'm just surprised that people would choose to dwell on these mistakes. Every player makes mistakes, let alone 20 year olds with less than 30 games of experience. Bit harsh in my opinion.He had a bad patch in the 2nd quarter, where he basically gift wrapped one of Gold Coast's goals - not once, but twice. First he kicked it straight to them from one flank, only for his teammates to rescue him. Then he repeated the dosage from the other wing, this time gifting the goal directly to the Suns.
That said, these were almost the only blunders in what was a very, very, good game from him. Overall, the good far, far, far outweighed the few bad moments.
I get frustrated when bad play by a Crows player leads directly to an opposition goal. Milera did it twice in the space of 30 seconds. It's no surprise that people got a bit annoyed with him at the time. It's no difference to Laird kicking it straight to Buddy last week, or McGovern dropping an uncontested mark, both of which led to Sydney goals last week.I'm just surprised that people would choose to dwell on these mistakes. Every player makes mistakes, let alone 20 year olds with less than 30 games of experience. Bit harsh in my opinion.
I was in the southern stand and I kept a special watch on Jenkins. Apart from his poor kicking tonight I thought his overall game was great. He was all good around the ground. Some of the delivery forward was poor.Good
Bad
- Gooch and Milera very good.
- The backline was solid- Talia, Laird, Doedee. Usual suspects really.
- Lynch getting back into form (our Lynch, that is).
- Seedsman, Greenword, and CEY in the middle. Matty Crouch just slotted back in nicely.
- Dougie.
- Even DMac was okay.
- If Tex is injured will the Fog come back?
- Have we ever had a deliberate rushed behind call go our way before?
- Knight kicked a couple and got his hands on the ball a bit more than last week. There's some suggestion he'll still get squeezed out for Betts in the changes thread, though.
- We won.
Re: Milera, he had a great game but there were still a few moments of hesitancy- trying cutesy little chip kicks when he could have taken off and gone longer. I think that's the issue some people have?
- More injuries!
- Ordinary second half. Think we eased off a little.
- Gov is still very iffy. He took that one big mark late and kicked the goal, hopefully that gives him some confidence?
- Poholke didn't do a great deal, but it's his second game so don't be too harsh on him.
- I think Jenkins was back to being soft? And maybe he should play on and snap for all his set shots, even (or especially?) when he's twenty out directly in front?

Have to agree also. His tap ons and putting his body in front of the ground ball was good. His positioning for the mark let him down imo and made him look ineffective in an area he should break evenI was in the southern stand and I kept a special watch on Jenkins.

The Bad
Poholke went missing in the stats dept apart from I50s. This is to be expected and not a career ender in no way. Continue to develop and be the best
There was a bit of that but i thought GC did some really stupid stuff tonight.Got an absolute ride from the umpires.
They should be ashamed of themselves.
These are the pathetic type of gutless wonders we then cop in Victoria who are scared of the crowd booing them and shaft us.
It's not that hard.
Umpires who lack the courage to actually be an umpire and make decisions based upon what they see need to be weeded out.
They joined in for the songI thought the umpires liked us a lot.
No chance Hooch is heading to Hindley St after the game....We drafted Gallucci
Could have had SPP
I’m happy with our bloke
The issue is the terrible quality of the top up players. When half your team is made up of sub par players, it is hard for good players to play well (especially outside players).I think this question now needs discussion. To me, none of Gooch, Poholke, and Milera had done enough in the seconds to justify being selected on form. However, their AFL form belies this. Why? Is there something very wrong with the seconds? This is beginning to look like a systematic problem. Others have mentioned this before, and I now tend to agree with them.
Alot of people here dont appreciate what Knight brings. Workrate, pressure, hard at the ball, can tag someone out of the game, and when let loose he can be a very attacking goal kicker. Those stats are more impressive when you consider he didnt have a full preseason and has been injured for alot of the year so far. Kid has one hell of a tank on him.Seedsman slightly off with only 604 metres gained tonight.
Knight working hard a lot it seems too.

Gooch has a long, long way to go to match CC. I hope he does, but to early to call that yet.How good are our Lever & Cameron replacements.
Doedee and the Gooch are just starting their careers but are doing a bloody good job - you could argue better than the originals.
