Any win in the rain I'll take as it can be a bit of a lottery
But a win that now sets our season up ......equal 4th at the halfway mark .... who would have thought with all the youngsters played this year
3 Players out of last weeks team .......replaced by Reilly, Petrenko, and Shirley ......all contributed with Reilly the pick till injured .....will he ever get thru games un-scathed.
We fumbled a lot early and bombed the ball in to Tippett ........really dumb footy and something we have be proned to do all season.
New dry ball in last qtr and suddenly handling was sure, movement good, and we actually started to look for players in the forward 50.
Thompson: superb game, at the bottom of packs getting and distributing the ball and looked dangeroius all night.
Mackay: just getting better and better .....is now starting to string more qtrs of good footy rather than flashing in and out of the game.
Still only played under 40 games so his best is still a way off ........and that's an exciting thought
Dangerfield: fell away as the game went on but in the first half was every where and really tantalized us with his brilliance.
Reads the game well , lopve how he stands up in the tackles, can mark strongly and has a real burst of speed .........rare for many players to have all those attributes and the ones that do are champions of the game.
Maric: A return to form ....and maybe that gaol last week was a turning point. Still a ways to go but we saw some of that real agression tonight and he looked a very different player to a few weeks ago
Moran: Wanted to rub his old clubs nose in the proverbial and IMO he would be satisfied with his game tonight.
There are signs of his development albeit really hard to specify in any particular area ........IMO its coming with confidence in getting regular games and the clubs confidence in him, more experience, and some good coaching by the club dev team
Porplyzia: Class act .....has been down in recent weeks, but todays conditions suited him and he was our most dangerous forwrd
Rutten: The rock of our defence today ........didn't put a foot wrong and really glued the defensive team together.
Bock and Rutten make a great defensive backbone and with Otten who must be close to favorite for the rising star gives us a formidable unit.
Petrenko: Looked all at sea for the first 3 qtrs but with the game on the line in the last qtr he put in his best effort in when most 1st year players would be tiring and falling away.
Like Mackay in his first season Petrenko flash's in and out of the game tantalizing us to his potential ..........he will be a very good player going forwrd but he may only get limted game opportunities in the second half of this season.
Shirley: Work horse who did what was expected ....but not enough to break the preconception he is a tagger and only a tagger at AFL level
Walker: Is brilliant in flashes as with Petrenko and Dangerfield .......he may lose his spot when Burton returns to play and in form, and that may be good for Walker to not have a full season with the Crows but have to go back to SANFL to work on his obvious weaknesses
