Crows had that won before they stepped onto the park.

Never seen a team so visibly soft at the contest.

Pies were on fire too though. Doubt they could play much better but adelaide allowed them to play so well

    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:

    Hard to know whether Collingwood is much better or Adelaide is in collapse after a horrendous 6 months.

    Bit of both, I guess.

    ...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 at $1:10 and Freo at over $6.

    Strange given Freo's recent wins over Essendon and Gold Coast and GWS coming off a loss to Sydney

    I considered tipping Fremantle but I’m an atrocious tipster.

    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.

    Richmond have the softest draw after winning the Premiership...  how does  that work?

    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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • 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?
