probably better to make that assessment in a few weeks when B Crouch has had some games into his legs, but in general i agree, our midfield looks decidedly average now that danger has left

Might be right, although it's hard to have any confidence in his body and he's still well below PD level (albeit %95 of the competition is).

Crows had a pretty strong side in the SANFL yesterday, would imagine they'd have at least a couple pushing for selection?

Thought M.Crouch was pretty good. B.Crouch started to work his way into the game. I think you need to look at more guys sharing tbe load rather than looking for another gun.

All the running, 9 more inside 50's, killing them at the stoppages.
Probably should be 3-4 goals up.
