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

Well if they go through the season without a win you could kind of understand it.

@Pickett2Jackson

We will get there.  Our season isn't defined by one game like this.

Yeah probably but I would love to see the Crows experience a few years of absolute garbage before they get any help.

    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.

    I wouldn’t disagree at all that the game has become over structured and managed with percentages etc. Frost ball is an exciting but for winning games it just didn’t seem to come off enough for me, I always had my heart in my mouth when he had the ball. 

    On tonight’s game, Dunn’s haircut is the worst seen in the AFL for years. Absolutely awful. 

    Also welcome back Lynden!

    Collingwood have needed an armchair ride from the umps and have had less scoring shots than Adelaide.

    We simply must beat them on Saturday.

    Who will the ins be for Collingwood on Saturday? They have been poor tonight, big chance for us to notch another confidence building win on Saturday.

    We will slaughter Collingwood even with a few better players coming back. 


    Wow. I just saw Dunny’s Mullet

    That is a Shocker!!

     

    So Filth...

    Darcy Moore, Ben Reid and probably Pendlebury. Hopefully Pendles decides he needs another week of rest. Either way I think we should go in favourites, and this is a massive opportunity for us.

    Makes the man bun look like a model of restraint.

    Moore and Pendlebury are good ins, I hope they play Reid, put a fork in him cos he’s cooked.

    I would still have Dunn’s haircut before I had a man-bun. Dylan Shiel’s man-bun is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen.

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

    It looked as if Grundy was being managed as he was off the ground a lot more than usual.

    Can you elaborate ?

    Leaving their tired old patter aside it does little more that skim the surface of the game for me. There used to be a show called On The Mark that followed 360 and I thought the girls on it were really good at guiding their guests through some sensitive topics. Then again maybe it just seemed that way after an hour of listening to Robbo.

    Any idea on Treloar, Hoskin-Elliott and qwaynor?

    I have heard treloar and Qwaynor definitely out, not sure on H-E. 

    • Thanks 1

    Didn't Hoskin do a hamy against Sydney? I hope they rush players in under done.

    I would like to wipe that smug look off that Taylor Adams' noggin would absolutely love it come Saturday that skidmark. 

    We should beat the filth easily. However we are talking Melbourne.?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
