Hope you keep this one going, just did the maths, you've done 29 stories and 6 of them have made it past 4 pages. Sad truth is that's probably better than my strike rate.

Also, is this the old NAB cup system or something? Because I thought it was all elimination these days. I remember because it always gets me all depressed when Sydney, seemingly deliberately, bomb out first round every time.

The Crows move onto the next stage of the NAB Cup, while the Power wil play practice matches against other teams that loose this weekend.


New Player Stats: Power: David Rodan: had a good game for his first game in the Power colours. The ex Richmond midfielder, played in the midfield for the Power today and had 15 possesions and kicked a goal. 7/10

Matt Thomas: Had a reasonable game off the wing. Also had 15 possesions, but the kid needs to bulk up heaps to reach AFL standard. 7/10

Nathan Lonie: Didnt really get much game time tonight. Only had 9 possesions for the night, needs to work on his play. 4/10

Robert Gray: Had a terrible game for his 1st. Needs to work on alot of play for him. 3/10

Travis Boak: Played a good game off the half back flank. 17 possesions. 8/10
