Another win for the Crows when they didn't really play all that brilliantly. Was a good start, but then dropped off badly and Freo had plenty of chances to win it.
Johncock has to be close to the best small defender in the AFL right now. He's played a couple of great games this season, and tonight was the best, with 25+ touches from the back pocket, at least 10 rebounds out of defence and a good defensive job on Farmer (even though he kicked 4). McGregor had the best of Pavlich, Rutten was excellent and Hart had a big last quarter. Really, it was just the Crows defensive effort that won the game. The run in the midfield was about even, and the likes of Goodwin were pretty quiet. Massie had another good game though, and seems like he might finally be developing into a decent player.
Grover was awesome on Ricciuto, and Shammer and Bell had good games too.
