Round 4 Non MFC games

[biggestred 5,088]

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 ...

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

Haha ? classic mate!!!

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

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

Bit of both, I guess.

[Lucifers Hero 39,811]

...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.

Annoyed with cricket oz selling out to poxtel. Poor timing.

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

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

GWS should abandon Sydney and just move to Canberra.

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

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 are being shafted badly by the umps and score review.

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

[Guest]

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.
