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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
