You'd think the AFL would allow regional games like these to broadcast over the internet by 5AA. This is a joke by the AFL.

5AA may not have the rights to stream the match but we'll still be able to listen to KG and Cornsey's post-mortem. We can only hope the boys from Vic kick some Crow ass. I tried driving around in the car listening to 1395AM but only occasionally was there a snatch of anything which could have resembled a footy broadcast (the opera was good though).

Melbourne doing a lot of the 1%ers - tackles, smothers, knock ons etc.

Melbourne 3.2.20

Half Time:

Melbourne 3.1.19 3.2.20

Adelaide 0.2.2 3.11.29

We are now down by 9 points

Wind or no wind, a pathetic effort

I agree.

Could be a long year coming up.

Having said that, we're missing our forward line - Robbo and Neitz.

Love to know how Petterd is going?

Hopefully, that was our equivalent to last week's fade out.

Best players according to bigfooty Adelaide poster - White, Ferg, Petterd and Whelan (none of who played last week).

Really though, the team does not even closely resemble that which will take the field in round 1 v St. Kilda and I don't know how much you can take from the game.

According to the Crows board, Petterd is one of our best

how strong a team are the blackbirds fielding ?? who of their lot of note is missing ...if any...cheers

go Dees

1/2 Time

Melb 3.2.20

Ade 3.11.29

Melb has gone handball crazy and are turning it over with over use of the ball. Commentators can't believe what Melb are doing. Quote, "Melb wont make the eight playing this type of footy".

Pettard took a great contested pack mark.

White (8 marks) and Jamar still dominating. P.Johnson getting smashed when given a run in the ruck.

Breeze still fairly handy (to Adelaide that quarter).

Haven't heard of and don't think the following are playing: Carroll, Rivers, Neitz, Brock, Neville, Robbo, Brown, TJ, Ward, Wheats, Pickett, Bartram, Col, Newton, Warnock,

Yze 1 touch so far.

Holland off in the 1st qtr with a suspected corky on the thigh.

ahhh...only a practice game !! Danners will be trialling a couple of lads.. seeing how a few 'plays ' work...or dont...

He'll be seeing if some have still got nigglies and wheter a few paper matchups pan out to the green.

A win is better than a loss...but its nothign to get too worked up on :-)

Er, yes. Apparently we've been doing a fair bit of the run and carry stuff and it hasn't come off all that often.

Crows score the first goal of the 2nd half against the wind

Melb 3.2

Commentators are now saying wind is very strong, yet we can't score.

i said a few years ago we would win a flag in 07 or 08, but mind you if we play this handball crap we might as well sack daniher now and bring back balme

i will tear down the mcg if we continue with this crap, i truly hope the crows [censored] us by 15 goals so we might give up on this pathetic useless style of game

Yze with just 3 touches in the match

Goal to Burton

Another goal to - Ade 6.11

Melb still messing around with it.

Er, yes. Apparently we've been doing a fair bit of the run and carry stuff and it hasn't come off all that often.

I don't think it helps much having a Midfield Specialist Coach whose background is ugly, lock-down, one-on-one, accountable footy.
