The renaissance of crofty

[still_believe]

the man was on fire last night..looked like he had accidentally eaten some of kritter's angry pills...in the last quarter he was inspirational, just had that look as if it would be a personal insult if the ball got past him.

He is so under-rated. What great service he has given us. Crofty is a legend!

He was incredible, the last quarter he played was outstanding. By far the most under rated player we have had since Steve Wallis, Crofty does not get beaten

Last quarter stats

Broken Tackles-10
Blind Turns-54
Baulks-15

They just could not tackle him.I cant understand how he doesnt get more publicity for his games.

number of palpitations caused to bulldogs supporters awaiting another blind turn or "crofty moment"........priceless!

Matthew Croft
Superstar!
How many baulks have you done so far?!

The man is a genius, the grace of Glenn 'Galaxy' Coleman and the speed of the great Stuart Wigney!

Seriously though, he has become so important to us and has matured as, in my opinion, to become of the best defenders in the country.

Matthew Croft, Superstar!

Its not so much of a renaisance -- Crofty just keeps incrementally improving every year. He is now 30 I think, but I reckon he has another 2 or 3 years left. Its not like hes getting any slower or anything. Good experienced backman.

Crofty

After a sluggish start to the year Crofty form over the last 5 to 7 weeks has been fantastic. Confidence is up and he is getting to a lot more contest and keeping his feet better.

Have always like Crofty away from the full back line as he needs space as he is a natural runner and prefers to keep it moving.

Need Hunter to find some form now.

Upon his retirement, Croft should immediately be appointed as head of Australia's defence forces (and Kretuik a head of the SAS)
