Their supporters are going to be insufferable if they win this.

And I'm not talking about the other mob

I'm surprised people continue to underrate them. They win out of defense, and their midfield pressure is elite. That's where you win flags. And to think people are crying about Watts being traded ffs. 

ACCOUNTABILITY

Absolutely. But if Watts does go, i want a good player

otherwise he stays

he is an elite kick

Hence why I want the Crows to win.

If you think they will be as gracious as the Doggies last year, you are kidding yourself.

PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE.

Forget about the free kicks. Our game against the Bulldogs should set the standard. Manic pressure.

Crows need to play the corridor and rely upon their superior skills.

They are falling into the same trap as GWS last week and playing the boundary which allows Richmond the easy stoppage.

Why play their scrimmage style

Crows are a liability when the ball is up forward, Jenkins and Walker are having no impact.

Tiges on the other hand, their back line is standing up and their midfield is slightly ahead. Their mosquito fleet are putting on the pressure both on the Crows and the scoreboard.

Tigers will run away with this if Pyke can't fix their forward problems.

Terrible second quarter by Adelaide.  Could not score a goal.  Walker, Lynch and Jenkins needto lift big time.  Done nothing. 

Spot on DJ and those Adelaide talls are looking like the Parthenon columns.

Lynch has been good, but he's impacting the game further up the ground

Crows gone unless Tex steps up.

They've been poor up forward.

Expect it of Jenkins, I don't really rate him...watch him win them the game now that I've said that.

...but seriously he plays like a rover in a big mans body. Looking for the crumbs.

Not too far away from my 39-36 score prediction for half time. Still too close to call the game but Tiges pressure did lift in the 2nd quarter.

Houli and Sloane have been very, very good.

I still see the Crows winning from here.

A major selection fail by Adelaide. What were they thinking taking that big cumbersome forward line into a day that was always going to suit a smaller set up, weather wise. Walker, Jenkins and Lynch have been useless. Thanks Don, now we'll have to put up with at least a month of turdmond supporters

I want Adelaide to win for several reasons, but the main one is that I'd much prefer a skilful team to win than one that relies on relentless pressure.  I don't want to see endless scappy football because everyone decides that is the way to win premierships.

Forget about the free kicks. Our game against the Bulldogs should set the standard. Manic pressure.

Any nuffies that can't chase, lay a tackle, or compete in packs needs to be shown the boot. Two years in a row now we're seeing a team with a flag drought absolutely dive on the ball like a live grenade. 

We can't even lay a tackle in the first 10 minutes of the most important game of a decade. 

Today pisses me off.

It shits me too.

Two things come to mind.

First, we started rebuilding at roughly the same time as the Tiges. I remember many Demon supporters were claiming victory as the better team one year into the rebuild. How has that worked out? Trengove delisted, Scully gone and Watts about to join him.

Secondly, I wonder if there was a 'Dustin Martin' thread when Dusty when he was exploring his options?

I am betting that it was the usual 'PASS' along with a ridiculous overrating of our list. 

I am with @praha. The Tiges are winning this with straight up pressure. When it comes down to a meat and three veg game (as Goody calls them), we insist on caviar. 

I bet at the end of this match that the in-house jokers on here will still refer to 'Ninthmond', like they do with 'Carltank' (like we never did anything resembling that?)

Second year in a row of cheating umps? Was expecting a manufactured result like last year.

Exactly it’s why I don’t understand the hate getting around about watts being traded he is the opposite of this, get what we can and move on the game has changed, pressure will win you games

if the Norm Smith were awarded at half time Houli would go very very close

Crows are just bombing away, they need to lower their eyes (sounds familiar). Interestingly Adelaide have the ruck dominance but are losing it in the midfield. They need to find a way to get Walker into the game.

Tigers definitely getting the rub of the umpires.

Half time already and it's a case of the frees they, the maggots, haven't given. What will happen this next half is, because Adelaide will become tentative and not take the game on, because of the yellow maggots, then, it will be all over.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
