The Crows

2009 marks my first year in a few years I haven't had Foxtel and hence the ability to watch all the Crows games. Here's how I've gone so far.

Rd 1- Crows v Collingwood
Had the ability to go to this one but thought we'd get flogged, so stayed home. Listened to bits on radio and sounds like we played well and had some nice promise shown by the young guys (Petrenko in particular).

Rd 2- Crows v Saints
Dean came over and watched the 7 coverage. We couldn't get into any flow and the Saints were very impressive (there's a phrase I don't think I've ever said before). Not much too like.

Rd 3- Crows v Dockers
Headed down to the local pub with the father-in-law to watch this destined to be classic. We were the only ones watching it. Frustrating at times, but plenty of promise. The best patch of young guys we've had since the mid-to-late 90's (Petrenko, Dangerfield, Walker, Vince). Added bonus was the $4.95 dinner I enjoyed.

Rd 4- Crows v Geelong
Watched at home on my Pat Malone. Geelong just killed us at the start of the term and we clawed our way back too late. Again some promise from the young guns, but Geelong way too polished. Robert Shirley again proved his lack of skill.

We play the Demons this week and considering the weather and late start, will probbaly go to the local again to support the boys and bend the old elbow.
