His ego killed the GF. For the crows at least.

Eddie Betts has done a hammy. 

We don't play them till round 10 :(

He's struggling anyway. I'll back us in to beat them no matter what side they put on the park.

 

Let’s revisit the ladder after Hawthorn, Richmond and Essendon. Sitting 3rd after wins against Brisbane and North doesn’t count for a lot.

Brisbane should have beaten Port last week and North smashed the Saints (who were tipped to be there or thereabouts for finals preseason.) There’ll be no easy games this year for any team.

I don’t think I’ve been interested in any games I’ve watch this year except for our own. 

It’s been a very average season so far. Poor quality matches by the bucketloads each week. 

Stuck in the airport with a flight delay so I watched it, because what else do I have to do, and it was putrid. I actually fell asleep momentarily. 

That was a terrible game.  Adelaide's inability to defend Collingwood when they brought the ball inside with quick hands was appalling.

Still don't rate Collingwood based on that, Adelaide were simply horrible.

Very average. I’m struggling to get into games so far this season. 

It depends what airport, I’ve been delayed in Dubai a few times and I normally eat about a dozen shake shack burgers

 

Adelaide were terrible. Weren’t willing to tackle all night and as many commentators suggested pre-match they went in too tall with their forward line. I watched a fair bit of the game and the ball hardly ever got past Adelaide’s half forward line.

Good on Collingwood for taking the win. Will be interesting to watch over the next few weeks how they go and how we both measure up by the time we meet on Queens Birthday Monday.

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.

I’m in Kuala Lumpur. I’ve had enough champagne to make me forget that I still have another 13 hours before I’m home, but not enough to make me appreciate that game of footy. 

At least I’ll be home with plenty of time to watch our game on Sunday. Can’t wait!

The filth had a training run. Adelaide were pathetic. Tex Walker is the biggest piece of shizenhausen to take the field. He is puff the magic dragon and can shove his clenched fists right u& h#$ a%+@.

Could be BAMF, but either way i reckon he is done at the topline level

Jane and Tex..........probably the worst game i've seen them play with each other........literally

Josh Jenkins is worse.  The biggest front running forward in footy.  The moment the game is on the line he goes to water.  

800k a year massive spud, gonna struggle big style to keep Lynch in their pay structure.

Richmond and the Bulldogs have both proven that small and contested footy holds up in high pressure matches. Adelaide was a high contested ball winning side last year but once a team exploited their top heaviness, they struggled to adapt.

I hope we smash them and Sydney this year.

Adelaide were useless, but regardless of the opposition, the Pies ball movement was stunning. Hard fast low kicks with pinpoint accuracy, good fast hands and excellent rucking from Grundy who ended up with over 30 possessions.

No wonder they had no money in the kitty to pay Lever when they are paying donkeys like Jenkins 800k.

Aside from Good Friday I’ve enjoyed a lot of other games this year.

You could just tell Collingwood were on last night from the first bounce.

They did everything better and were far cleaner with the ball.


Collingwood thoroughly deserved that win.  Dominated from the first second and played the conditions perfectly.

Everyone had Adelaide pencilled into the top 4.  Would love to see them fall down the ladder, preferably missing the 8.

Sloane is not a superstar. Not even close.  Gets tagged out of games way too often.

Betts is finished.

I didn’t even think to check the weather if I thought it would be wet I would have changed my tip to Collingwood, Adelaide were way too tall and missing the crouch brothers who would thrive in wet weather

I'll second that PA!

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
