a major upset brewing across the border

Eagles freo terrible game but so started watching North and adel which is at least entertaining. Pyke looks like a dead man walking.

[Jibroni 4,239]

The marvel universe is ruining football.

As for J Hogan, where is he?

[dees189227 11,016]

Seriously you would never have picked the crows played in a gf a couple of years ago. They should be putting away nth tonight. 

As for freo 1-10. Disgraceful kicking.

Good on him kicking his first snag.

This season has been the worst standard of footy I have ever seen.

We're officially off the bottom. 

[dees189227 11,016]

I didn't watch it but was Ben Brown doing his usual Im going to put my hands up in the air because I want  a free kick? Just reading social media apparently Brendan Goddard said “Umps make a stand and say Ben, stop flopping or staging for free kicks.

Plus he is copping it on twitter for diving and getting soft free kicks.

Polec and Ziebell are pretty good players as well. They have a number of young guys in their 1st or 2nd seasons that have good potential. Pity their coach is a prikc though 

Oh no doubt. Ziebell has always been a good strong player that you would be happy to pick up. Polec is great on the outside and would have complimented our list nicely. I quite like McDonald too and McMillan has been underated.

I'm not saying they are bad. It's just a boring side. I watch most games of footy each week and know most teams pretty well. North just don't have much of interest at the moment.

Just showed his highlights postmatch.

I would like to look at them again but there were a few moments that didn't look good. Very dubious.

There were also some genuine highlights from him that looked great. So hard to stop those 200cm forwards when they put the arms out. He is a ripper.

[dees189227 11,016]

Well that one was a disgrace. The crows ruckman was just to strong

[Diamond_Jim 12,017]

From the AFL website

" Since 2012, Adelaide''s lowest score at Marvel Stadium has been 68 points (Round 4, 2015 v Western Bulldogs). This will be the first time since 2010 that the Crows have not kicked 100 points in any of their four opening matches of a season. "

Tactics for the home and away are becoming all important.

You definitely need multiple game plans.

An absolute disgrace.  Brown threw his arms up, fell over and sucked the ump in.

He almost makes it unwatchable.  He is such a sook, and gets such a free ride.

Brown is a bad stager who gets rewarded for a terrible impression of a dying swan. Should enrol in NIDA.

I think The Weid should learn the Ben Brown 50m run up

Why ? After Jesse don't tamper with the best goal kicking routine at our Club.

Along with Tommy Weid is elite in accuracy

To quote MRO Chief Michael Christian "it's not a good look for our game " 

Hear that Ben and Brad (Scott)

Not only unwatchable, but embarrassing. What a wilting flower. A man his size can easily stand his ground, therefore it is so obvious he is staging for a free kick. Shame.

I see Chris Scott was super quick to defend his precious pet Danger, despite not having enough information to form an opinion on the incident which may come under scrutiny. Because there was no free kick, there was no problem, was his view. The arrogance of this man is astounding.

I couldn't work out if he was serious or taking the mickey.

His players can do no wrong in his view. He didn't appreciate the speculation that one of them, especially one of his favourites, may have done something untoward. Plus the fact his darlings lost the match made him extra grumpy.

For that Ben Brown decision the ump said "You cannot push him off the ball and then go back for the ball."

I don't quite get the logic. So if he pushed him off but didn't contest the ruck contest it would be ok? Where does the rule state that you can't use strength to push off someone, not in the back or holding on excessively, as part of a ruck or marking contest??

Quite bizarre that whole decision
