Starting to get close to the pointy end .... While none of this weeks matches spell success or failure from a final 8 perspective they are very important

Adelaide v Geelong in Adelaide and Geelong possibly without Dangerfield... Will the Crows be affected by the dreaded Darwin Legs syndrome.

Just to mention another couple of key games... Sydney v Saints at the SCG.. a win for either team means a strong chance of September action. (Sydney for mine)

And my favourite non MFC match.........  Toiges v GWS at the MCG. Go Orange Men !!

Finally has North got one last hurrah left against the Bombers... (probably not but I can still hope.)

Ideal results from this weeks round of footy...

Adelaide Vs Geelong - Geelong loss as their percentage lower and more likely to fall. Plus the Cats are smug.

Essendon vs North - Any Dons loss a good thing, a loss makes it harder for them to catch us.

Western Bulldogs Vs Goldcoast Suns - A GCS win would almost put Doggies out of the race

Sydney Vs Saints - Hard call, but if we are bold and capable we'll be contesting with Swans for spot in top 4, so Saints to win.

Freo Vs Hawks - Both teams out of race, higher Hawks finish lower their gift to the Saints is... 

Richmond Vs GWS - Want Tigers to lose as would open up 5th spot, and a Tigers end of H&A flame out would be poetry..

Collingwood Vs Westcoast - Want WC to lose, pies to start their EOS celebrations/palpatations asap 

Brisbane Vs Carlton - Go Lions!  ... it's Carlton

Given the evenness of the competition its actually hard to pick which results would benefit us most...

Adelaide to pump Cats because the whole Cat team is up themselves, including the boot stud person and especially the coach. Gods gift to the AFL...... 

Dangerfield to receive a bad injury tonight but no one to offer him assistance or help him off the ground.

Has anyone ever played the week after being shot by a sniper?

I hope Adelaide dish out 10 goal hiding tonight.

will have a pretty sweet media gig retainer....

Well I hate Geelong but tonights result means stuff all. However the 2 games that mean a lot for us are the druggies and North as well as coll against west coast.  Hopefully North and as painful for me to say it Collingtrash both win. Probably not however.

I really hate Jeelong  would love to play them in September

 

Julian Smith from AAP could possibly have the "photos of the year" of Dusty "clean punching" that poor player from Brisbane in the head last week, thus making a bigger mockery of the AFL's double standards, even though the player had already said that he was barely" touched"

I really hate Adelaide. Geelong doesn't worry me. Wed smash em on a good day...hope Tex has an argument with a goal post.

Crows seem to get a great run from umps at home.

is there a link, most of this year I haven't got worked up about the MRP but since Oliver I am totally over it as a even handed process because the precedents are so inconsistent  and media driven.

Our wins in Adelaide over the past few years have been some of our better wins I have seen. The umps were against us both times, and we just ignored them and played hard contested football. We broke Adelaide. Geelong would have to do the same, but with Danger and Selwood not at 100% it seems unlikely.

Right after we get rid of the Dustmen

I'm sure Sportsbet will pay Julian Smith a hefty sum for the photos.

You are correct, It made our wins even sweeter. The umps do get swayed by 45999 screaming idiotic fans.

Five times as many frees to the crows at this rate could be 30 frees to 6. Hard to beat those stats.

These umps are atrocious 

That was a shocker to Hawkins!!!!!
