AFL Fantasy News: Something To Crow About
In the first half, it was the new Crows on display with a greater emphasis on creating scoring opportunities. They went a bit more defensive in the third quarter before things opened up again in the fourth. Welsh and Bock combined for 9 goals. Both teams went into the game missing a star, Goodwin was out for the Crows and Wells wasn't ready to return from his injury.

The Bulldogs ran over the Dockers in the second half of their game from Darwin. While Pavlich did kick 3 goals, he was double and triple-teamed and often when the ball was sent in his direction it went right to a Bulldog, usually Harris. The Dockers had their chances but kicked 10 more behinds than the Bulldogs. Robert Murphy was injured again, and even with the extra week to recover he may miss a game, while Luke McPharlin didn't play for the Dockers.
