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.

ha, just seen it is at Blunder-stain arena.  6-7 will be overstating it!

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.

GWS should abandon Sydney and just move to Canberra.

 

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.

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.

Hmmn, going down to the Cats in Rnd 1, might have be a Gawnus-Maxim masterstroke.  must be all in that beard.  weather senses, etc.

 

 

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 >

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.
