Other club may have numerically more unavailable but given how few KP options we had that was a fair effort.
That hit from Fogarty is exactly the kind of crap the MRO is supposed to stamp out. Grow some Christian - just do your job and suspend him. The crows clearly didn't get the memo when McKay shamefully got off.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Dow looks so much a better player when he is allowed to play on the ball. Let hope he spends the rest of the season there.

Can you find one other one that swings and roundabouts our way? Yesterday was as one sided officiating as I've ever seen. Adelaide weren't even disposing of the pill correctly and play on was the call. One of TeX's goals was an incorrect disposal against Liam Jones and the reply shows he got the handball away.
I can think of about 6 decisions where the crows were effectively gifted goals and about 3 where we were denied goal scoring opportunities but I can't think of any other gifts we got aside from cripps running 30 metres without bouncing.

You’re right Thry, the Cripps run and goal was the only one we got away with.
I do get annoyed at how often the umpires penalise Cripps and Walsh when they are trying to take on the game.

Yep, he sure did. But cameos won't cut the mustard if we're to be a top side.

Apparently Jack complained to Teague that he was only credited with one hitout when he actually got two. He was going to confront Champion Data and demand that his second hitout be added

I noticed when they were singing the song after the game that Eddie didn't link arms with the players either side of him. Plowman on one side made a couple of attempts to engage him but Eddie just gave him a tap and a nod.
Maybe he's protective of his personal space ;D ...or did he hurt himself (shoulder perhaps) in one of the contests (maybe the high flying landing). He was a bit sore after taking a mark at one stage and came off for a while but that looked more a hip or groin.
Just on Eddie
We're all expecting him to finish up at the end of the year.
Maybe he's not influential in every game.
But it looks like he still has a good spring, and his pace hasn't dropped off a great deal.
And you could probably argue that without Eddie, yesterday's second quarter burst doesn't happen.

Just on Dow, Kennedy etc.. Crows have a thin midfield with just Sloane, Laird, Keays and some kids.. It was encouraging but there were not the opposition big bodies or depth you find in other teams so we need to be careful before thinking everything is looking fixed.
