It would be very welcome don’t get me wrong but away games are much harder

It's actually the anniversary round of that decision.
Remember that shit eating grin of Smith's almost like he knew it was never going to called.
Were the Crows robbed in dying stages against Hawthorn?
Fans and commentators were left gobsmacked when Hawthorn's Isaac Smith was not pinged for holding the ball late in their thrilling win over Adelaide.

Looks play on to me:It's actually the anniversary round of that decision.

Should Isaac have been pinged?
Controversial decision in the dying moments goes the Hawks' way

He literally pretended to handball. That's prior every day.Looks play on to me:

Sloane should have slung him...was legal back then.
The one eyed Crow in me sees prior opportunity, elbow to Sloane's head, takes on tackle and then drops it cold.

Nah. That’s play on.
I can see why it was not called (the same reason Murray wasn't called for deliberate against Melbourne) - it's a tight call that would decide the game. It's not as obvious as Blicavs vs Bailey, for example.
But he had prior and didn't dispose of it. Any 'play on' call is only spirit of the game stuff.
I think he plays more like Petracca at the same age.
Small tank, booming kick, goal sense, burst of speed and a few injuries early.
Did a stats comparison and they are almost identical except a few less handballs.
Burgess built Petraccas tank so hopefully he can do the same with Pedlar.
Probably needs two or three more preseasons before a complete midfield transition

It was the Hawks.
We played the Saints there in '04, but lost.

Yep agreed things are just getting silly now with Matthew’s comparisons.
Should have stopped with the more believable likeness to Hodge, Macca and Oliver

Murray wasn't called deliberate because the ball went out of bounds from a deflection off a Melbourne player. the TV angle didn't show it, but the umpire could see it.

Pedlar has finally cracked 15 touches in his 10th game. Next stop 20 touches. If Pedlar one day gets 20-25 touches in games regularly, we probably don't lose games. His touches are that good.

Club stalwarts Walker/Laird/Sloane got us through that scrappy fumble-fest.

No Coach-love for Soligo, about whom several posters in here have been very effusive.
I don't care about Hawthorn, but I'd like to see Adelaide Coaches' BnF votes for this game.

Prediction: if it looks like being close, the Umpires will get Collingwood over the line.

Rankine, Betts-like-freakish, only 23. Best yet to come.
Michalanney, only 19, stunning first 6 games. Will be our defensive line-breaker for years.
I'm also very keen about Rachele, Fogarty; both on the way to AFL elites.
But Pedlar?
So many people in here are really keen on him and I just can't see it. Yet.I'm not trolling or trying to provoke; he might be a rough diamond but no more than the 4 above.
Anybody --- what am I missing, please? Is there a best-of-Pedlar highlight reel?
I am happy with his clutch in pressure moments. Reinvigorated without the added pressure of captaincy.
Do you even football? Watch the match again.
Can't buy experience. He is valuable and he has always been clutch.
I was much the same when I played gave 110 % and expected the same from my teammates. It was like going in to war with my 21 other brothers.

2017. Paul roos said it was the worst free he had ever seen. I remember the section of Crows fans went absolutely bananas around us. Anger from 5 years of ridiculous decisions favouring the Hawks spilled out.
The umpire gave Puopolo an eternity to dispose of the ball and after 5 minutes of trying to fend of McKay just through himself forward. The umpire was a disgrace and was obviously looking for any excuse to not pay holding the ball. Clearly a home town decision.
Check out the 1st half reel I put on his thread. I'm a big fan.
Damage per involvement is really important these days. Low hurt factor players are today's list cloggers, and Pedlar is High hurt factor!
