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.

    • 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.
