When we played the crows at Adelaide oval last year, that was the most true  reflection on how the two sides match up together we beat them by 40 points both sides were at full strength.

Actually, we played without Max and still smashed them in the stoppages.

Yes I know and hogan was not playing either, so maybe this game is the true reflection of the 2 sides, either way we smashed them. stupid crows hated them ever since 1998, when they stole the flag, with a stupid final 8 system back then

But the media can still say, Melbourne have still not beaten any side above them.

 Neither have the Eagles!

I love watching the game on the tv when they cut into the Adelaide coaches box and they’re all looking shell shocked with no answers. 

Coz the red snakes were gone from the lollie box maybe stewie dew snuck in and pillaged them

Meanwhile on the Bulldogs bigfooty "changes for round 11 v Melbourne" thread, they're steeling themselves for a fighting underdog rebound .....

We are deadset screwed next week. Melbourne should be planning for a 100pts + win

They are already 48 points up on Adelaide at HT FFS.  Going to get ugly. What will reduce the margin is the Dogs having two extra days break, them travelling back from NT.  Etihad is not an advantage anymore against them. They beat us easily there in 2017.

Melbourne will be the best team we've played this year, looking awesome today: pace, excellent field-kicking, goal-kicking - all those things we lack really. All those early draft picks and some astute recruiting have created an impressive line-up.

So far this year we have kicked 97 goals, Demons have kicked 160. We're screwed. All we can do is stack the team with defenders and hope for the best.

At what stage to we plead the mercy rule we have kicked 10 goals the last 2 weeks they have kicked close to 50 goals so if that average applies 25 goals to 5 goals 120 point margin.

Whats the default losing margin for not turning up in football? In soccer it is 3 - nil which is pretty good when you're certain to get smacked by 20 - 0.

Logically Melbourne should be winning this easily, but they’re definitely due for a down game, it will be an 8 day break versus a 6 day break in warm weather and they’re coming up against a team where they will be unbackable favourites.

Here’s a fun fact. 21 quarters is the record for most quarters won in a row in AFL history.  If Melbourne win all 4 quarters against us they are the new record holders.

But apart from that they’re fairly optimistic...

 

It’s amazing what some beltings do. Like peak Hawthorn and Grant Thomas’ Saints, half the battle is won before the ball is bounced.

Meanwhile . . . over at the Crow's supporter site:

  • Everyone has down weeks.josh Jenkins has one every week1f602.png?I'm at the stage where I can only laugh at his selection each week.
    Potential doesn't win premierships
  • Injuries are one thing but still it was 22 vs 22 there was no heart there whatsoever absolutely disgusting performance we should worry less about posting levers stats and which draft pick we are gonna get from Melbourne (re early this year) and worry about our own team 
  • Unfortunately into the first 4 minutes of the game you knew they would be thrashed. Looked like they hadn't slept all night and came out as if they weren't even trying. Just like the Grand Final. Very lethargic xx.
  • Can't say it wasn't unexpected... end of day Melbourne are finally a seriously good footy side. We are average...clearly making up the numbers this year.
  • If we were going to lose a game glad it was Melbourne love there coach Goodwin he was one of our own early days long way to go we will come back bad day at the office we all have them
  • Make them [censored] walk home. No [censored] pride in this club any more.
  • Looked like a training drill for Melbourne. 
  • Not a good day, I can't see Sloane and lynch staying either. I reckon their gone
  • I shake my head every time I see Jenkins efforts
  • The useless coach who had no Plan B and decided to just STARE at the players...?? Like Pykey, they can't read your mind mate. 
  • Nothing like dropping from 4th to 7th and losing almost 16% dishing up that 1f4a9.png?
  • It's 3 poor games. We need more Victorians.
  • Playing with a B grade side and Melbourne had it's A side. Move on.
  • Might as well support Melbourne enough of our players are with then
  • Lever was the big winner today
  • I have said all along that Pyke is a “B” grade version of Neil Craig. 
  • Doesn’t help that we have our reserves playing against a full strength Melbourne team. 
  • On the upside, looks like the stare is back in vogue. On ya Pykey, inspiring stuff.
  • Premiership pretenders again
  • Maybe a [censored] play on our behalf but [censored] the umpires are playing for Melbourne today.

What's the crows supporters site? Would love to read more!

the team that performed so well in last year's gf ?

In fairness they did get there - we had yet to do that for far too long, and haven’t performed nearly as well as they did for 53 years ?

well the media certainly is not holding back, we are the flavour of the Monday night footy programs. Praise is wildly enthusiastic.

It would be just like the mfc of the last heartbreaking 10 years, to be set up now for one big massive fail. 

it won’t  happen , we are past that. This is the new beginning

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
