That was such a soft 50m goal to Dunny.

Good to see him back I guess.

Free kicks.

Pies 11

Crows 4

Haha yes a draw would be awesome.

    Walker causes so many turnovers....... I imagine he thinks he looks good doing it and cannot understand these pesky black and white jumpers getting in the way....

    Pies do not look good a I watch the Crows play in a similar fashion to the way they did against us.

    Wonder if they will run out of legs in the last.

     

    Lets be real about this game. It is atrocious.

    Watching Frost for the Hawks this year, I disagree, he has consistently been good for the Hawks this year, was good against us and I reckon Clarkson would be happy with the trade, he also hits others quite hard, doing more than Frawley on probably a third of the money.

    Opposition scouting watch based on 1st half:

    -Taylor Adams is their playmaker, you cannot afford him to give him space as he sets up the majority of Collingwood scores and is generally a neat pick, would recommend a tag

    -Grundy looks tired and not impacting much apart from winning the hitouts, Gawn could outrun him off his feet

    -Darcy Cameron is their only big target, block his space

    -The collingwood forwards thrive on space, do not allow them any space- in a crowded forward line they are rubbish

    -Collingwood love to use the corridor, make them go down the line and block the corridor

    -Maynard sets up alot off HBF. Don't leave him on his own.

    He was good against us, but his deficiency still exists and always will. There are games his “Frost Ball” will look amazing and create something, then 5min later it will cost goals. 

    It’s why I wasn’t gutted about him leaving (though still a little disappointed). 

    Probably better for Demons if Collingwood win by 3 goals

    they think they have done well and we belt them 


    What I’ve seen of this riveting match is that Adelaide have actually had equal amounts of opportunities but the pies have just been cleaner with taking their chances.

    Yes it does, I still think he has tidied up a bit with Clarskon's coaching.

    But your thoughts please, the game is so micro managed now, that anyone choosing to take the game on and making a boo boo, is super exposed with the media making a meal of it, I actually think it takes a fair bit of courage to not be a conservative down the line defender,  it is one of the things I like about our footy and dislike the way the game becomes all about the percentages.

    Useless [censored] they are

    Nah we want them to win.  Last thing we need is for the Pies to give the Crows their first win.  They then get smashed in the media and are fired up for their game against us.

    Better for them to win, be relieved and be exhausted before facing us.

    We wont go into the 8 now if we beat the Pies.

    Them winning tonight doesn't help us at all.

    Adelaide will probably ask for a priority pick this year and probably get one knowing the AFL.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
