Only watched the first half then switched over...

Jane Jenkins was embarrassing, but so to were most of the Crows team.

The game looked over in the first 10 mins.

A question...is Eddie quickly coming to the end? he's really struggled so far this season & appears to be off the pace, the magic has gone missing.

Thought you meant McGuire for a moment ???

They lost this one at the selection table. Walker, Fogarty, Lynch, Jenkins, Jacobs, Talia, Hartigan, Kelly, Doedee. Wayyyy too tall for a wet weather game. Only need 5 of those playing. Jacobs, 2  tall forwards and 2 tall mobile backs.

Also shows how hard it is to replace your best players. Both Crouches out and they are poo.

We had no Gawn, Viney, Hogan & Jones for large portions of last season and it was never mentioned by the 'experts'.

It is so tiring to have the 'experts' dismiss, ignore, not consider, comment detrimentally, castigate and flagellate the Demons, year after year to the extent that we have seen. Maybe 2018 is just going to be another of those years of insignificance for the Dees despite all of those obvious improvements that have been achieved. I would think that this will be the case even if we sit in the top quarter of the ladder come Aug-Sept. After two wins from 3 games, before the Hawthorn match tomorrow, we sit at third position on the ladder until the rest of the round is completed. That is rarefied air - well done, Dees! Then again, if we keep up this form ...

A few clubs drinking own bathwater this year:  Blues, Ess, Crows, Saints. 

All thought the 2017 season (or rnd 1, 2018) has set them up for a good year.  In the words of Gomer Pyle:  Surprise, Surprise, Surprise :lol:

...and no prizes for guessing who is on Ch 7 tonight? 

Yep, Carlton!! 

Not quite a marquee time slot but a premium time nonetheless, with more Sat night broadcasts to come.  This favouritism is plain wrong!

And guess who is playing them - North.  Channel 7 may need to use pretend crowd noise as I can't see many supporters from either team going. 

Enthralling viewing. Not!

I hope it is at the G, it pizzes down and they get 6 or 7 through the gate.

Not too many games this weekend that one would say are a must watch.

The best two are MFC v Hawthorn and Essendon v Port ... both games in relative graveyard spots.

In the context of the cricket deal I heard a stat on radio yesterday that pay tv reaches 30% of homes.

The next AFL broadcast deal will be interesting.

Canberra is a very handy growth market for the Giants.

Could be a good deal of corporate sponsorship money available for super boxes etc given the government business angle.

Get Dr. Who onto it Pronto....

Lions sadly have hit the wall for the time being.

They got themselves up for their first three  but there is only so long young teams like that can pump themselves up for matches like that.

No wet fingers for our Gawnus, Re which way the wind blows. ;)

To allow a 4th gamer to kick 5 on you at home, goodness me. 

I’ve seen Chupa Chups that refuse to be unwrapped put up a bigger fight than the Crows last night.

Adele Crows, 'IF', put together as well as this little beaut >

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
