What they're saying down at West Lakes

[Queanbeyan Demon 6,875]

• I’m putting $1000 on Luke Jackson getting the NAB rising star this week.
• Nicks has flagged we'll be younger this week. Let's see if selection backs him up.
• Persisting with Gibbs is a complete waste. Trade him back to Carlton for peanuts.
• We are in diabolical trouble. Game plan from St.Bernadettes year 3 marks up playbook.
• I think a winless season and Nicks is shown the door IMO. We need a full clean out of coaches and Fagan needs to throw HUGE coin at a proper coaching setup.
• It’s just hit me. The realisation that the best player at our club is a 35yo mother of two?
• Invite Blight back to the club as a mentor for Nicks.
• If anyone in the media, social media or anywhere else asks again why Gibbs can't get a game, please refer them to this week's performance.
• Has Lever played in Adelaide against the Crows yet?
• Last weeks embarrassment has finally made the club really go into rebuild mode.
• Prediction : Tex to "run through" Jake Lever at some point.
• Crows making EIGHT(!) changes. Two debutants.
• Gerard and Robbo both very complimentary of the selections with saying that it’s clear the Crows are finally accepting of the rebuild and that Gibbs, Atkins and Knight would all be very worried about their futures.
• If they actually won would there be enough players available to provide the gatorade shower?
• Dees are ripe for the picking too.
• Excellent, at least 3 of those players dropped should never ever play a game for the club again.

It seems there actually are supporters at another club just as depressed and [censored] up as us !!!

[praha 11,240]

I swear those are Demonland comments. I even think one of them is mine.

Expected way more comments suggesting they can knock us off.  If I was an Adelaide supporter I'd be pretty confident about this one.

It is funny because it is legitimately true. Erin Phillips would be the best in for them this week (probably for us too...)

[SFebes 4,884]

Their side looks pretty good on paper. However, no Sloane or Crouch will really hurt their midfield. It's ours to lose, I can't see it happening, I think they're on the tank also. Even if we win, I'm still going to be looking hard at the fundamentals and execution of our game plan and cohesion, lets see if Stubborn Simon gets the lads firing.

• I’m putting $1000 on any of the Crows Debutants getting the NAB rising star this week.
• Goodwin has flagged we'll be better this week. Let's see if selection backs him up.
• Persisting with Jones is a complete waste. Trade him back to retirement for peanuts.
• We are in diabolical trouble. Game plan from St.Bernadettes year 3 marks up playbook.
• I think a Bottom 4 season and Goodwin is shown the door IMO. We need a full clean out of coaches and Bartlett needs to throw HUGE coin at a proper coaching setup.
• It’s just hit me. The realisation that the best player at our club could be a 35yo mother of two, if we had one.
• Invite someone back to the club as a mentor for Goodwin.
• If anyone in the media, social media or anywhere else asks again why TMac was dropped, please refer them to this week's performance.
• Has Lever played in Adelaide against the Crows yet?
• Last weeks embarrassment has finally made the club really go into 'we're crap' mode.
• Prediction : Lever to "run through" Tex at some point.
• Crows making EIGHT(!) changes. Two debutants.
• Gerard and Robbo completely ignore Demons.
• If Melbourne actually won would would anyone care?
• We are ripe for the picking. Nil all draw?
• Excellent, at least 3 of those players dropped should never ever play a game for the club again.

Not only reached the milestone at 32, but also did them both at once.  Clearly has Phillips covered.

Wow, I must be looking at a different side,.  I reckon it looks terrible.  Only their back line looks semi decent.

Must be down to the quality of the paper you printed it on.

Talia, Kelly, Laird, Doedee, B Smith, M Crouch, Seedsman, Lynch, Walker, Himmelberg, Mackay and Fogarty go OK, I'd have most of them in our side over many thats for sure. I think Jones will be a player in the future also.

[Queanbeyan Demon 6,875]

Post game

• Ricciuto . . . if you love the club like you say you do. Then go. Just go.
• Special place in hell reserved for: ANB (he who shall not be named).
• When Clayton Oliver is the difference, you know things are bad.
• Walker is done, give him 200 and bye bye.
• Luke Jackson is going to be elite. Very exciting talent.
• We've stuffed up a couple of drafts and now we've also got the wrong coach.

Someone at Crowland would have had some joy tonight watching Action Jackson play his way to a Nab gong.

Chase Jones?

The Crows would like that pick back i reckon, he's a f#$#%@* shocker.

AFL will bail them out with some priority picks just like they did for Brisbane.

they might need to

crows remind me a lot of us circa 2007 - when the fall has come it has come hard 

[deespicable me 1,498]

They have to be a good chance to go through the season without a win.

The last time that happened was 1964......which by coincidence was the last time ... well you know the answer to that.
