I am supporting them, today, in response to the Crows' supporters schadenfreude over OUR Jack Lever's injury!

Fair enough. I didnt like that either. I just think GWS are probably the team I'd not want to face when the whips are cracking.

    Crows fans will be really happy.  They've just been tipped out of the eight by a bee's and replaced by .... Port Adelaide.

    At least, the Scum winning will ensure 85,000+ next week. Two teams flying.

    We should account for them easily, but how will we respond to Lever's injury? That's the big question.

    Watching Collingwood, it's likely watching 15 or so ANB's run around. They get a fair bit of it but turn it over under very little pressure. It'll be interesting to see how they go against our pressure if we bring it.

    Not sure about that AF, they match up well against us with their structure and ability to rotate many through the middle and are strong at the stoppages.

    We would need to improve greatly on yesterday's work  around the contest and we wont break away from them as easily on the spread.

    This is a game we must turn up for and be ready to go from first bounce.

    Just watched the last half of Adelaide V GWS and wet my pants listening the Mark Ricciuto cracking the "sad's" real bad as special commentator as Adelaide were being beaten. When are Foxtel AND 7 going to have commentators just calling the game as it is without the bias.

    I am just enjoying the very unfamiliar feeling that I look forward to playing whichever team comes up next. :-))))

    Could be a good battle with the famous Collingwood midfield. They certainly found a few ways to score today.

    Some big games next week.

    Three "8 point swing games" including our own.

    The bye will distort the ladder a little in the short term.

    Now 10 teams plus the outsider in GWS who can realistically make the 8.

    Sidebottom knee injury?

    MEDICAL ROOM
    Collingwood: Magpie Steele Sidebottom copped a hefty corkie to his left leg in the final term, but stayed on the field and played out the game.

    Mmm. 8 days to come up.

    Adelaide's next five games: Fremantle (away), Hawthorn (away), (the bye), West Coast, Richmond (away), Geelong. 

    If they don't get their injured players back fast, their run to the finals looks incredibly difficult from here.

    Bolton is an absolute genius.  He has created a brand of footy that, most weeks, is able to pull down the opposition to their rubbish level.  They flood back, tackle hard and do anything to play boring, drab footy that might help them get a result.  Swans are playing right into their trap at the minute.

    Really?

    They haven't scored 100 points since Round 11, 2016.

    Since that game, their record is 8-36.

    Two weeks ago they lost by 109 points.

    They have a soft draw from here - games include Fremantle x 2, Brisbane, St Kilda, Gold Coast and the Dogs. I reckon Bolton needs to win most of those to show they have a true future.

    I would have agreed in previous years and been worried, but if we bring our manic pressure, they'll turn it over all day.

    The only reason I said that was because he has the frustrating ability of dragging other teams down to their level.  I didn't say the game plan as a whole will ever get them anywhere, just that the only card he has is putting blokes behind the ball, clogging it up and hoping for the best.  It's why they can't score and also why their games are horrible to watch.

    Freo were without Ballantyne, Johnson, Matera, Hill, Pearce and Sandilands......

    Yep and Collingwood still leaked goals at the end. Four in a row from memory. If we're on, the Scum don't stand a chance.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
