Tiges have gone a little bit too far the other way. Marking is key.

Tiges pace punched holes, but they just don't have enough marking power.  And they are off a little, from 2017

 

A great team effort from Crows.   Can they maintain that level?

If the Crows can keep their best team on the park they will be hard to beat. 

Yes they lost Lever and Cameron but Gibbs was a great get for them.

    From Bigfooty -

    'Sick kids who were given a rare chance to go watch the football have reportedly requested to leave early and go back to hospital.'

    Harsh but fair.

    If we lose to either North or Saints this year I don’t think I can go on. Watching them play today, they are both absolutely diabolical and an embarrassment to the league.

    Gibbs looked better than I remember him; he must 'ave matured under Malthus.

    Surely Frost in next week for Brown. Punch able head but when he gets his tail up he can do damage. No way Lever or McDonald has what it takes to go with him

    Transport both teams to Van Diemens Land one way. This is an abortion of a game. 

    Either that, or the Roos back to the VFA. reform the VFA.

    Certainly no confidence in levers speed as yet.

    The Saints have been absolutely awful, and it's down to the fact that North are the masters at bringing teams down to their level.  They flood back, pick the ball off and go.  It's nothing more than that.  They put on some pressure but, seriously, they are a nothing side and when they are treated as such they can easily make you play some horrid footy.  Today is a prime example.

    We will need to play smart footy next week to ensure we beat them.  Bombing it long to a contest won't work.

    We don’t want them. I reckon they’d struggle to get a win in our failing state league.

    The McCartin experiment is over, he’s not going to make it. St Kilda are horseshite. We need an actual plan to stop Ben Brown for next weekend.

    I feel for him with his diabetes, cannot be easy at all.

    Having said that, when we said we would have taken him if St Kilda took Petracca I died a little.

    Good analysis but its worked against us every bloody year. How I yearn to beat these serial pretenders.

    Yeah always does.  Very worried about tomorrow and next week.  If its 0 3   I mean bloody hell.   Hoping and praying for 2 wins in a row.  Thanks to the saints for playing north into form for next week (Not)      Trying to be positive  we will put both North and Lions away  ( I hope)

    True.  We will need to come prepared, not with the stubborness of 'if we try this enough it should work at some point'.

    The two off the back of the square could be a diabolical move as North's defence are terrific at picking off the long kicks to a contest and getting numbers around the ball when it hits the deck.  If they can run it out of our forward half without too much pressure from us then Ben Brown will have a day out.

    We go up.to Brisbane on a 6-day break, then come back to Melbourne to play North, who we haven't beaten in a decade, on less than 7 days break, while they'll be 9-days fresh coming off a big win.

    Standard.

    Yep. As will Cunnington and you can pretty much guarantee that Billy Hartung will kick a few too

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
