Yep, said that at the start of the year. Should enquire on Jordan Sweet's services, been dominating the VFL and he ain't getting a game as long as English is fit.

Jonas and Jones continually get shown up for pace, Jonas isn't as bad being a key defender but Jones is exposed when he plays on small and quick forwards. I'm still not convinced he's in Ports best 22 (or 23).


Add Lord to my list.
Lord only young though and as plenty of improvement in him you'd think. Potentially (and hopefully) a long term replacement for Dixon as a key forward/second ruck.

I've said this before but I value winning above draft picks. Glad we won, should have won a few weeks back against the Bombers.

We have definitely had some shit weeks, no doubt, but getting that win was great. Not worried about not having pick 1, look we can normally hold onto our players well, we have only lost a few over the years like and tend to keep us players. Ried may or may not have been good for us. Who knows, but there was plenty o noise coming out like a Cerra situation, not so much JHF.

Most of it was probably noise but we are keen on Curtin. He would fill a definite need for us in that area.

Midfield isn't as bad as it looks. But next seasons improvement will strongly depend on what happens off field. Basically a full clean out of the football department is needed.

Whilst I'm a huge critic of the incompetent goal umpiring decision on Saturday night does it really warrant 5 pages including the front page of the Advertiser today? :lol:
I haven't even got to the Sports section yet!

I heard a small portion of Rowe's call during the incident, was pretty funny.
The word cheat was yelled a few times. :lol:

Funny part is that goal umpire was the best man at one of our teammates wedding. The goal umpire is one of the biggest Crows supporters you will ever meet.

Bloke at work told me Port supporters were ringing him post match giving him shit. Apparently he ended up saying “I hope Port go out in straight sets” :lol:

Swans to challenge McCartins report. No outrage about the cows not checking McAdam after a head knock. Broke his jaw. Unsure what Tom was supposed to do. Shane ran into him turned to protect himself
