6. May 5. Petracca 4. Salem 3. Langdon 2. Oliver 1. HIbberd Honourable mentions to Viney (for shutting down Steele after half time), Rivers (seriously impressive youngster) and Wagner (thought he didn't do much wrong on return).

I'd happily trade another 4 first round draft picks for May. Holy (censored), this man can seriously play.

Another ripping set shot!

4 goals from 4 set shots. Great start from the Dees!

That's a ludicrous finish from Petracca.

Just finished watching the replay. Honestly, that was one of the better games I've seen Nathan Jones play since the Swans game last year where he snagged three. He only had the 16 touches on Saturday, but its great to see him back and contributing to the side. Not sure whether he goes on and plays in 2021 yet, but you can't deny he's playing his role quite nicely at the moment. Also, this play was vintage Jones.

Aside from one six goal game against the struggling Kangas, Bruce has been dreadful this year. You wouldn't think there'd be much chance of Bruce coming into a team that kicked 110+ points yesterday. His only shot might depend on the fitness of English who rolled his ankle at the end of yesterday's game and may not be 100% for this weekend. I think Macrae was rucking for them at times yesterday, so they could definitely use some extra assistance in that department.

Incredible talent, and I wouldn't put it beyond his capabilities to launch a Jayden Hunt esque torpedo, but considering the situation of match and despite how cliché it sounds, a simple drop punt to the top of the goal square was surely in order.

I've been really happy with how Langdon is progressing. How long has it been since we've had a proper winger running up and down the ground? Obviously, yes, his disposal isn't great, but I've noticed that if his kicks don't hit their target, they at least have a knack of finding players in space. Just needs to start nailing some of those goals he's been missing this season and he'll be right there as recruit of the year. EDIT: Out of curiosity, I checked Langdon's AFL stats page and believe it or not, he's actually tracking pretty close to 80% disposal efficiency this season!

17 Disposals at 71% and a goal. I was quite impressed by his game.

6. Gawn Whoops, force of habit. 6. Petracca 5. Oliver 4. Brayshaw 3. Lever 2. Weideman 1. Langdon

Someone better start the 'Will Tom Sparrow win the Rising Star nomination this week' thread.

Massive game for our midfield. With no Gawn, our boys will clearly need to readjust their strategy considering I don't see us winning many hit outs let alone any to advantage. Saying that, I think playing without Maxy makes us a much more unpredictable side. I can recall the side having a great patch of form when Cam Pederson was playing as an undersized ruck back in 2017. It could be how we're planning to use Tom McDonald today. Also, anyone know who'll be skipper today? Seems we're without both our captain and vice captain.

6. Oliver 5. May 4. Viney 3. Petracca 2. Gawn 1. Jackson

Kudos to our backline after a bad week of press. May in particular was outstanding. The Crows starting forward line (according to the AFL website) of Himmelberg, Walker, Lynch, Murphy, McHenry and Kelly combined for a whopping one goal.

16 touches in the second half for Brayshaw. Started in a lot of centre bounces as well.

Gee, Jackson is class.

If you had told me at 3/4 time that this would be a 50+ point win, I'd have you committed.

Anyone notice how Brayshaw's best half of footy this year coincides with him playing in the guts?

Amazingly, Brayshaw has had a pretty solid second half. Can't underestimate the addition of the Weed over the last month. 10 goals in 5 games now.

Well done Clarry. Been fantastic tonight.

Gee, that was a great grab from Sparrow. Worth persisting with.

Free kick count now 23-11

How was that not high on May?
