Good:
Brayden Cook’s decision making and skill level
Luke Nankervis is elite
Dawson’s first qtr was as good as it gets
Jordon Butts is playing really well
Schoenberg made excellent decisions with ball in hand and proved he belongs in the side
Smith played well I thought, although he almost always does in 90+ wins
Sholl - see Smith, but tbh I thought Sholl’s ball use was questionable
Crouch was very good
Berry didn’t impact as much as he should have with ball in hand, but I’m genuinely not sure I’ve ever seen a better tackler. Good luck breaking out of one of those
Jones kicking 3 must surely have been paying 1001.0 - nice to see him impact a game and hopefully gain some confidence
Bad:
West Coast taking the piss away from home
Laird and O’Brien’s decision making
Rachele getting caught holding the ball a minimum of 3 times in situations where high quality players should not be getting caught holding the ball. Plus dropping uncontested chest marks.
Tex took the piss a bit too much
Keane seems to morph into a complete lair every now and then
Hinge lost his mind a few times
Ugly:
Watching Sholl try to tackle a human person or halve a one on one aerial contest
Our draw from here on is savage

Should have rested Tex against WCE. Maybe they were toying with the idea but in the end they didn't.
I laughed at the Port supporters who claimed that Todd Marshall had finally arrived as an AFL player after his performance against the Kangaroo's yesterday.
Sorry but I'm doing the same here.

Plenty on this board thought we might actually lose that though, Eagles just came off their best win in 3 years and haven’t really been blown off the park all year. First quarter is the best quarter we’ve played all season.
Best part about this win is grinding them into the ground early and then not giving them an inch to get back into it.
I'm just pissed it was 99 rather than 100

I’ve mostly been a Sholl questioner in recent times but he’s definitely improved this year
Contract year, mind you

Why ? ....and how do you know they were toying with the idea of resting Tex ? .....where's the evidence, or just madeup ****

Fair. He needs to show this form against top 8 opposition.

Oh lawd. I remember that guy. Took it real serious and got rather upset when he got pipped. I think at one point he was putting up gameday threads the night before.
Anyway: go Crows. Dawson beast.

Can't take much out of that, the opponent completely no showed. Thought basically everyone played their roles today so no one much in the bad category & that's probably reflected in the fact we never let up & won by 99. That's probably the main important thing, we didn't cruise to a basic 40-50 point win or sink down to their level.
Next week against Hawks is probably pretty close to make or break for our slim finals chances. They're in good form & at home, plus our last few meetings have been real arm wrestles.

Something to do with shape, I'm sure you can explain it better than I can.

Yeah probably
He did, he was good in the Showdown.

The Crows did what they had to do.
West Coast were so abysmal the game was over 20 minutes into the first quarter.
We even switched off for a bit but even then West Coast couldn't get anything going.
They were completely flogged by Collingwood 2 weeks ago and by GWS and Port earlier in the year. If they played like last week there would have been a contest, but the witches hat version showed up

Forgot to mention Butts’ job on Waterman (5 touches, 1 goal, worst game of the year)
Apart from a couple of small decision making errors, we might be back to 21-22 Butts
