From the Northern Stand: R16
In order to be any chance of September glory you need to win in Melbourne against a quality side. This weeks task was St Kilda at Docklands. After a percentage boosting win the previous week and Collingwood’s loss on the eve of this crucial clash we had an opportunity of finishing the round in 4th position one game clear which would assist us in earning an all important double chance.

From the Northen Stand: R15
Football is a game which is quite often won on 1% efforts. Looking at the efforts of the two respective teams who squared off on Saturday night we can see the enormous gap that exists between the top and bottom end of the premiership table.

Crows Forward Line Analysis
FACT: We need the Tip to stay at Crow land for glory in 2009 and beyond.
Kurt Tippet typifies today’s modern footballer. Lean, tall, athletic and a powerful overhead mark. He is a player which a coach can use as the foundation for a solid forward line and team. Surrounding him are various other stars, both young and old. The Crows 2009 Premiership Assault has begun with a 7-0 record over the past 7 weeks. They are spelling all the danger signs of a team that’s about to unleash the fury similar to the Crows and Kangaroos in the late 90’s. The roaring Lions of the 2001,02, 03 seasons. The great West Coast or Geelong that have reigned supreme over the past 5 seasons. So where has all this come from and why are they going to the top?

Weekly Punt: Week 7
Well after last weeks bruising encounter with the Saints i’ll be staying well away from the Cats this round. Last minute omissions of Ablett and Varcoe add to their 6 man casualty list from the game. I’m staying away from the Saints as well even if their injury toll ins’t as bad, there is always a big chance of a letdown after such a huge game.

Writing on the Wall
This year we have already seen two retirees after coming up against the tri-colours. This should serve as a notice for all teams to beware when facing the mighty crows. Could we claim another scalp before the season is done?? Maybe the biggest prized scalp of them all would be the power head coach Mark ‘Choco’ Williams.
