Round 10

Janet led the way this week with 7 followed by Ausi, Gaynor, Grace, Hudo, Jeremy and Sal with 6. But at the top of the ladder it’s the youngsters showing the rest of us how it’s done. Brothers Ausi and Hudo now share the lead on 59, one ahead of Rob, Dee and Janet. Way to go Ausi and Hudo. It’s going to be a tight race through to the end of the season.

What can you say about the Crows. Jeremy and I were in the cheer squad giving it our best but all through the game (and even before) there was a sense that they would put up a great fight and fall short again, which is just what happened. I don’t think we can blame that free against Rankine with 20 seconds left. We’re a good side but something’s missing. Matthew Nicks ticks all the boxes as a coach but lacks that little bit of mongrel that can add a bit of fire to a team. Maybe that’s what’s missing. Who knows.

Meanwhile, what an escape for Port and the Harley Reid show in the west rolls on. Next week West Coast play the Crows at Adelaide Oval! We better win that one.
