33 tackles between the teams by 23 minute mark.

How many did we lay Q1 last week? Was it 1?

I hope our 'far too comfortable'  mob are having a bloody good look and maybe feeling ashamed of themselves  

 

how long should they be 'ashamed' before they're allowed to move on out of curiosity? is there a peak shame period that converts to desire for the following year?

    Gil will be unhappy.....his baby is looking sick. 

    (Though the Crows did blow nearly as big a lead in round 8 v an opponent who missed the finals.)

    Gil will be stoked. The only way to get to a GWS vs Essendon grand final was a Crows win tonight.

    GWS play the winner of Port/WC

    The winner of that game plays the winner of Cats/Tigers in a prelim.  A lot to play for tomorrow night as the loser will almost certainly have to front up against Sydney and then the winner of that games faces up to Adelaide.

     

    What a shame. I wanted to see The Swans smash these Fraud$

    It was Bruce McAvaney level delicious.

    It's amazing to see how disciplined Adelaide are!  They're very well coached and led on the field.

    Yep. The MFC must learn to tackle properly, otherwise everything else is a waste of time

    The AFL will want a Sydney team and a 'fairytale'.  Watch the umpiring assist on this basis.  Now Adelaide got up, the Swans should get the lollies from the maggots.

    Personally, I want the Bombers to get such a flogging that Daniher thinks he is in the showers with Jobe.  Adelaide let us down last week (bastards).  Port are pretenders, and the [censored] away from Symons lose their three best players (usually wearing Yellow) and will require Dangerwood to be prolific.  

    WCE are flat track bullies and likely straight set losers, even though Port have no chance in later rounds.

    Richmond are an interesting case study.  Ninth last year, flag this year sounds like a trend I could follow...

    So,  Sydney,Richmond, Port.

    Tackling would be a great start...but the positioning and overlap of the Crows was outstanding.   That requires both coaching but also application and determination.

    Do you really believe that Adelaide let us down?  Really?  How about our entire team in the first quarter.....our fate was in our own hands and we didn't want it enough.

    Agreed but I think its pretty obvious what Adelaide could have done to WC if they wanted/needed to. Our fault yes, but no denying WC had it way easier than they should have.

    Yes agreed. But i was thinking more of Round 23. 

    No tackles in 11 minutes and we could be 9 goals down in a final. 

    WTF was said before the game to fire up the Demon list??

    Leon Cameron's body language is atrocious...looked dejected & a loser in the 3rd Q with plenty of time left in the game.

    And experience of applying it over and over, both individually and across the team.

    Onto the next match....Since 1980 Geelong have won 45 games Tigers 14. Cats have won the last 5 matches, biggest margin 157. Think on those stats id have to go for the Cats...

    How about the way the crows played. Gee they looked good. Hardly wasted the ball, kicked it long and did not overuse the handpass.  Itwas actually nice to watch a team just kick and not just handpass handpass handpass.  

    Even when it was wet they used it well.  And now they get Sloane back for the home prelim.

    I agree about Leon Cameron.  He does have negative body language.  Look how he carried on when they played us.

    What a terrible game was looking forward to a contest and got an ordinary team in the crows playing simple overlap footy and winning . Gws trying to chip around and control things was a crock and reminded me of times we tried to play like millionaires. Only takes 2-3 kicks if you run and win the ball in the right areas on the ground.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
