          The second high given to that crow when he ducked into the tackle

            Ollie's defence on Dawson was average then....but we're back in this.

              To be fair, there was no help from any other defenders. But I agree - a great job to close the gap, and to do it so quickly. We've got to go on with it now.

                I thought he threw his head back, when Rowbottom got him around the waist. Though I might be biased?

                  Amartey party well and truly started. 4 kicks, 4 goals.

                  We did well to get back to within 4 points at half time after being down by 23 points midway through that quarter. We need to stop giving the opponents early leads.

                    +1 why not downfield ?

                      I was worried when we were 4 goals down especially as we weren't playing that well. But we stuck at it and thanks to some Amartey magic it's now only 4 points.

                        Glad Judas didn't kick that late one. This side continues to amaze. We looked a fair way off and then went bang!

                        I know the commentators and everyone else thinks we'll continue to do what we've done in previous 2nd halves. I just hope the boys don't just think it'll happen as we need to really bring the pressure to knock this side off at home.

                        Come out hard boys and break their spirit!

                          Crows the better side so far … but signs of Swans lifting at the end of Q2

                            Everything went right for the crows yet they’re only 4 points ahead. Feel they’re in trouble in the 2nd half

                              Go Joel. What a quarter of footy.

                              I guess the good news is we’ve largely played like trash, some of our other talls like Logan and McCartin have had total stinkers, Chad looks more interested in picking fights and sledging, our halfbacks have been quiet, our mids aren’t defending at stoppages . . . and we’re still less than a kick off it.
                              'Delicious' is a fun word to say

                                Thank goodness for Amartey in that quarter - without him we'd be in a 4 or 5 goal hole (and to some degree deserved - we've been fairly average for large chunks of it).

                                As it stands - the Crows had a pretty good first half where everything in their forward 50 turned to gold, yet just a few points up for all that hard work. Hopefully a few of our boys wake up at half time, and come out with some renewed energy in the second half.

                                The umpiring is just all over the shop - they are letting Crows players scragg, hold, push, whatever they feel like at will in marking contests - yet we've had I think about 2 free kicks all night related to it (the Heeney one surely should have been downfield), when if rules were being applied we could easily have been awarded 7 or 8. As for the inconsistency in Holding the Ball/tackles - it appears to be getting worse, not better.

                                For all the ball he has had, Gulden has been well below his best, and with the exception of Amartey (gosh he is kicking well for goal at the moment), not sure there is anyone you could easily conclude played well in that first half.
