Pros: I reckon 12 wins and 7th is way more than what I thought we would win and finish given my doubts over Ratts's ability so job well done to him and the boys for the home and away season. Cons: We really had a chance to lock in a home final but looked disinterested. Thought we would be beat this mob in Melbourne but were very lazy. Is it a reality check or is it a preview of an early exit from September??? The former would be nice. |

Pro I thought fev was good considering delivery Gibbs was our best Cons Worst performance of the year in round 22 difference between best and worse of team shocking Gartlett Betts and Cloke hang your head Kick oouts from points constituted a 7 point play for Crows |

Good season by us. Anything that happens from here on in is a bonus. Crows are the best team we have played this season. I hope they win the flag and not collingwood or St kilda. |

Pros - Gibbs fantastic - Yarran's defensive efforts and some nice touches. Can't wait to watch him play next year and beyond. - Stevens, Scotland, Walker and Armfield tried hard and were effective. Cons - Pretty much everyone else - insipid effort. Hardly noticed Murphy and Judd quiet. - We really need a tall forward option - Defence very ordinary without Waite and/or Jamo |

PROS Hampson - Still can't hit a Blue coloured person with his taps, but he's coming along well. Has a real go. Yarran - Not quite the finished article and lacks confidence to take the shots that he will in time, but has answered my knock on him from what I saw early in the year, that he's soft and lazy in mind and body. Some great chase and tackles. Fevola - Kicked straight from set shots. Solid. Russell - another solid effort, with a few clangers Gibbs - Good game, when the rest of the stars were nowhere Joseph - wait till next year - a gun of the future in a wide variety of roles CONS Bower - has been ordinary in recent weeks and was bloody horrible tonight Judd - has dropped off markedly in recent weeks and you can go on and on about him not getting protection but great players stand up and don't wait for help. Needs to impose himself next week Murph - no impact, lazy Kreuzer - has dropped off - the kid must be exhausted. Bring in Warnock or Jacobs and play him forward next week. Thornton - first bad game in ages Scotland - beaten when it counted. 34 touches...pfft Of course there were many more but CBF |

How anyone can praise Russells post 1st quarter performance bewilders me, he was terrible. Just plain awful. |

The thing was that he didn't learn from his mistakes.. How many times did he try bombing it up to Kruezer which resulted in a turnover? I counted 3 |

Not really sure how anyone can find that many pros to a team that was smashed by 72 points a week before their first final in years. Although, I am guessing if you're putting Russell's performance tonight as a pro, the glasses are well and truly red. I think the only pro I could see was forward pressure. we actually kicked an ok score and our forwards for the most part worked hard. i do not really think we missed any of the "club enforced outs", but we definitely missed someone feeding the ball out. We have a week to fix a lot of problems and i think tonight really highlighted exactly where we are. Kick-ins are just plain ugly and we would have been better just conceeding a goal. How many times did we kick in only to see it sale back over our heads for a goal? I think I counted 7 times, which is at least half the margin we were belted by. I think we can still beat Brissie, but there is a lot of work that needs to be done between now and then. |

I counted 3 Well no one was giving him a decent option anywhere. And despite having plenty of time to setup front and square in front of Kreuzer as the ball came out, no one did. Piss poor lazy undisciplined efforts. I actually liked what I saw from Russell today, he tried to do the team things and get the ball moving when most of his team mates were half hearted, lazy and not presenting. Yes he had a few skill errors, but he tried damn hard. |
