Gees I reckon Harry gets tough treatment, fancy being a marking forward on a wet night, fronting the worst ball using side in memory.
For example, last week,  "Mensa" Hayward, under minimal pressure, gets clear at half forward and misses Harry by metres when he has his opponent cold....not once but Twice.  Yes, I know it was last week but clear example of what Harry has to deal with. I think his resilience is underated given the way he continues to front up with the numpties "delivering" the ball to him.

Suggested in the in game thread he probably should have gone back to help stem that 6 goal run. Stopping that sort of crap is a team defence thing though.

We do have to get the bench rotations right though, at one stage we had Pitto, Harry and Gov on the bench, created turnovers on our HBF but had nobody to distribute towards.

I'm gobsmacked some of the media is still going on about Cripps bench time, they must think about as deeply as a sheet of paper, I bet this week Sam McClure or his ilk will try to make an issue of it. We have a team that has been overrun 4 out of 5 games, finding some way to make the likes of Cripps and Walsh more competitive over 4-Qtrs is going to be down to player management and a big part of that will be appropriate bench time. Even possibly bench time against their will. Now someone will carry on about "appropriate", as for them the best solution would be an inhumane never!

If Harry had marked everything he got his hands to last night he would have just about set league marking record.

The goal he got was setup by Kemp who could've had a shot himself. 

Umpires should be ashamed with themselves, some bewildering home calls that require some explaining
Not sure what happened with Cripps but someone in that tangle should be getting a week.
Not a very likeable mob the crows, lot of showboating from a mob that struggled to beat a depleted cellar dweller, won't be winning a flag this year either.

Thilthorpe had a pretty ordinary game but still had twice as many disposals, twice as many marks and double his supercoach score.
Harry was poor last night.

Thilthorpe was paid marks for attempts that were less than what H was called to play on for, multiple times one of them at the top of the goal square was seconds after the very same mark had been denied to H on the wing, and that's not counting the chest mark Thilthorpe was paid that basically come off the ruckmen's fingers, yet no Review. In the end even BT became embarrassed about it which forced him to later utter his "umpires have become lenient" remark, and BT hates us with a passion, he was probably holding back a giggle as he said it. I think at one stage, I can't recall if it was Fox or 7 because I've watched one live and the other as a replay, said something like "They better hurry up and kick before the review happens."

btw., I thought the AFL was supposed to be reviewing the whole scoring chain in 2026!

Nothing but silence on Haynes taking the footy in the air over the boundary line, goal Crows, imagine if that had happened to Pendles or Dangerflog, it would be front page news.

None of this is a conscious decision being made by anyone, it's the result of subconscious anticipation of events, and we're fostering that environment.

Shhh, don't mention the war!
