VDB fractured eye socket apparently.

Bloody he'll, he probably did that in the first quarter with a head clash. Tough as.

    Probably the most frustrating and aggravating 50 point win I've ever watched. Adelaide are a truly horrible football team right now, they just cannot kick a score. Main Dees takeaways for me:

    -Steven May another fantastic game. Made Tex look like a local reserves player.

    -Clayton Oliver escaping the packs and thinking a little more with the ball was fantastic.

    -Brayshaw should only ever play on ball. This makes it hard to balance the midfield but that's what the coaches are paid the big bucks for.

    -Jackson was clearly worrying ROB with his jumping ability. Good positioning up forward too.

    -Neither Bennell or ANB impacted up forward. Small forward positions are still well up for grabs.

    Gawn was injured he has a Lat\shoulder problem. I think he should be rested this week.

    Here is how bad Tex is right now - I'd rather Tommy Mac than him.

    He is a squib of the highest order.

    Anyone notice the way Jackson does those cute over the shoulder handballs into space? Whens the last time you've seen a ruckman look so fluid and mobile the way he does. 

    No wonder why we rated him so highly. He's an extra midfielder everytime we play him in the ruck. Will be elite, watch this space.

    Three quarters of puss and a last quarter of sexy time.

    Certainly wasn’t a great team effort but some great individual games. Oliver incredible. Viney all heart. May was solid all game and just as importantly gives us grunt.

    Brayshaw finally showing a few signs that he can get back something resembling form.

    Jackson yet again played a smart game down forward. Those having a crack at him aren’t paying attention. Competing strongly in the air and playing a selfless game for the other forwards.

    The skills are still a huge issue, but by the end of the game it was a 50 point win. It took a massive detour but it was job done.

    Gawn just said on fox he has an injured shoulder near the top of his left shoulder but can play through it. 
     

    Would rest him to be safe.

    tells us nothing really but we were good in patches. we are better than we were last week, but not as good as the scoreline suggests tonight. Wins over Roos and Pies and I'll eat humble pie. Until then all we did tonight was bully a poor team.

    Tomlinson back was fantastic. Clearly he hadn't played there much but hes a big body and can kick. His run was great as well. I'd love to see Goody persevere with him there. So much better than Oscar. And could play on tall or smalls

    Hey Jaded, you asked about Clarry's hair. 

    The problem with that is that Salem gave Clarry his haircut. 

    Salem should stick to his day job. A hairdresser he ain't !!!!

    Oliver when kicking the ball is a far better player.

    When kicking like tonight.

    Disagree. His foot skills are a liability

    A little sad to Max say he might not play next week. If he needs a break, give it to him though. 
     

    ANB will be suspended, but Lockhart should be ok. 
     

    Vanders is injured again? Max mentioned a broken arm of some sort? He looked proppy to me.

    No way. Goldstein will tear us apart on a game we have to win

    A lot of players have left Adelaide on questionable terms over the past few years...

    Speaks volumes that he's still there and rolling out that [censored]

    Should have rested him for this game.

    Now he's playing injured on a 4 day break against Goldstein in a harder to win game.

    This was one of those captain's calls that can backfire.

    A strong finish made it a convincing win.

    Some of the worst umpiring I have ever seen.

    A real coming of age game from Jackson and a gutsy effort from a clearly unfit Max. Let's take the 4 points and see where can go from here.

    PS the fox commentary was equally as bad as the umpiring 

    PPS Clayton Oliver FMD !!!!

    The umps clearly got on the Crows at $3 just like I did. That umpiring was worse than anything I've seen in WA over the years, land of the home cooked umpiring.

    I reckon Weid is coming on really well. Pretty unconvincing win for me even for 50 pts - it was really just the last quarter the first 3 quarters were pretty rubbish except for Viney and Oliver.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
