Touch Of The Fumbles: Glass Half Full

It may not have been pretty… in fact, it was hideously, egregiously ugly. But for the first time this season, the Crows have won in the same round that Port have lost – an event so long coming it’s almost worth raising a glass, if only our Fumbles correspondent could.

Touch Of The Fumbles: Fumbleland

Between keeping track of the Crows rescuing their season from the brink, Port’s continually-annoying rise, Carlton’s questionable tanking and Paddy Dangerfield’s Brownlow-baiting, our Fumbles correspondent is losing sight of what constitutes ‘normal’ football-watching behaviour.

Fumbles Friday: Crows stalwart puts the ‘F’ & ‘C’ in AFC

It’s apt that the Crows have chosen their bye-week to wave ‘bye-bye’ to their increasingly wretched season. Fans want answers, and our Fumbles correspondent has found them – in the form of an incredible, never-before-seen spray from an architect of Adelaide’s premiership double.

Touch Of The Fumbles: Reality bites

The Crows are in freefall, as the almost-champs of 2017 risk becoming the chumps of 2018.

It’s a noisy place to belong – on the Crows’ bandwagon, where the revellers sing and the hamstrings ‘ping’. But even more frightening for our Fumbles correspondent than a burgeoning injury list and Rory Atkins’ hair is the ominous prospect that Port Adelaide appear finals-bound…

Touch Of The Fumbles: A potential state of sunshine

This is going to get fairly tedious fairly quickly if things keep going as they are.

Touch Of The Fumbles: '97 all over again - and not in a good way

It wasn’t all beer, skittles and premierships in 1997.

Touch Of The Fumbles: Being Corey Enright

The Crows’ winning streak is over, cruelled by a lacklustre third term and a sea of Corey Enrights. But Tom Richardson is looking on the bright side. After all, it could be worse. We could be Port Adelaide.

Touch Of The Fumbles: Spring forward... fall back?

The Crows won, Port lost – and both at the same time. And Paddy Dangerfield’s Cats went cold to boot. Who said a week wasn’t a long time in football? Certainly not Tom Richardson.

Touch Of The Fumbles: the post-Paddy era

The Crows lost, Port won and Paddy Dangerfield played a personal best against the reigning premiers. That sounds like a cue for Tom Richardson to return for another season of grumbles – and Fumbles.
