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 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.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
