Good thing the Blues boosted their percentage so much against the Eagl-oh wait that doesn’t matter because of the draw. We still believe in this team as a finals contender. On expected score Adelaide deserved the win and they were certainly the better team for longer perhaps this is just the rebound loss they needed after the somewhat fortunate comeback against Hawthorn (given how tight Darcy Fogarty’s game-winning shot on goal was). In a way this is a good thing goalkicking (as we’ve seen from the variance from the Crows themselves) involves a heaping helping of luck. But when you go into three-quarter-time with 11 more scoring shots than Collingwood yet just a 16-point lead, that’s just not good enough. And it’s weird that goalkicking cost them the game against Collingwood because their efficiency was one of their great strengths over the opening six rounds. It’s pretty simple - the Crows should’ve won. Next game: Essendon at Adelaide Oval, Sunday early It almost sounds like this guy who’s led the Power to two top-two finishes in the last four years might be an alright coach. which is a credit to Ken Hinkley’s coaching. They seem to be the first team that has really found a way to work out the Ross Lyon game style, which is a credit to Ken Hinkley’s coaching, and the players clearly love playing for him. So let’s instead praise the Power, who produced a brilliant win last Friday night, going on the road - admittedly to a ground in Marvel Stadium which they seem to really enjoy - and upsetting the then-ladder leading Saints. We’re not quite at the point of the season where we can point to a gap between a team’s percentage and their win-loss record as a reason not to believe in them. The Crows are another intriguing test this week - definitely a finals contender, but one they should dismiss given the game’s at home. His 15 inside 50s on Sunday were one off the AFL record, and he did that from just 64 per cent game time. We still have some concerns about their defence but clearly the attack was working and, after some early-season wobbles, Patrick Dangerfield has been utterly brilliant.

They look a far cry from the side that trailed Hawthorn at halftime on Easter Monday, becoming the first team to score 120-plus points in four consecutive games since Collingwood in 2010 (who, you may remember, won the flag). Next game: Gold Coast Suns at Heritage Bank Stadium, Saturday twilightĮvery contender for the third seed behind the Magpies and Melbourne remains flawed, but the Cats’ brilliance over the last month has to be respected. While the Suns and Hawks should pose more of a threat over the next two weeks than the Kangaroos did, we’re not expecting the Dees to face any real difficulties until Round 10 in Adelaide against the Power. As we often say, good teams win but great teams win by a lot, and Simon Goodwin’s men have won four games by 50-plus points this year.
