I was referring to the kangas. Collingwood are still a dangerous team and no easy beats.

Ah right.  Missed the thread sequence sorry

A decent game this between the Crows and the Suns. Both teams have improved a lot. Adelaide will be tough to beat when we play them over there.

Both teams are ‘full effort’ sides much more so than they have been in recent seasons 

Still reckon they will both by bottom six at the end of the year tho

GC are close to being a very good side, but they keep getting serious injuries

Suns are young and brittle. Crows too reliant on a resurgent Texan. 
Both teams can’t sustain it for 4 quarters vs good teams.
We should have the measure of both.

”should...” I know.

What was the deal with us and Ben King again?  He's one amazing prospect and delivering the goods a fair chunk of the time.  Lovely kick also

I thaught that was a dreadful game. Neither side knew how to properly attack with the ball ( especially GC ). Adelaide were able to run off the poor decision making by GC when going forward and capitilise with their disorganised defence.

Ouch, I just opened the AFL app to see what happened. This could be the beginning of the end for North if they aren’t careful. 

They’ve almost certainly lost the Good Friday game for next year, they will be a terrible team for at least the next couple of years and after pushing so hard for it you can’t put up such an insipid performance. 

We’ve been there, it really sucks. 

They'll keep good Friday if they get a crowd (& TV), the score isn't as important. but like when people were talking about taking Queens birthday off us, we always got a good crowd even when crap.

There is also the another game on the same day now, so it is not the only focus, which will help them retain it. 

In saying all that, a crowd of 28k is not good for a public holiday Friday.

I just want to say that Collingwood should be ashamed of themselves.  More than usual, that is.  61 Hitouts to 4.  24 to advantage vs 1.  With that sort of dominance out of the middle they should have been all over Brisbane, but they barely won the clearances and they utterly failed to capitalise on them.

Its the same Suns just a slightly improved one.  They come out of the blocks looking pretty decent and fresh early but in the end they're mostly a meat & potatoes club with a sprinkling of talent.  The bulk just aren't up to the contest even against the mediocre teams.

Good effort but in the end they lose too many crucial one on ones, especially through the middle, while continuing to bomb it long to the same spots about 30 to 40 out from goal making it too easy for the opp to defend inside 50.

Over a decade of plowing millions of dollars in to this mob and they still haven't won a match in Adelaide.  What a rediculous waste of resourcez and time by Gil & Co.  Would rather see a Tassie team in any day for GWS & GC.  Tassie Govt should follow through with their threat to cancel the Hawks & North arrangement if the AFL doesn't come to the party and do us all a favour.

Suns are still a bit too reliant on their older/reject players like Greenwood, Ellis, Witts, Harbrow, etc.

Their midfield still needs work and depth and they need to wait two or three years for King and Lukosius to come on. Dew is doing a good job with them though.

I am not sure who the main commentator for the adelaide/suns clash is ( maybe that Dwayne Russell type ) but every time that blinking Walker goes near the ball he has absolute multiples. He is worse than Mcevany.

They used to destroy us when we were a basket case.  Didnt they beat us by 130  something points around 2012?   Their supporters loved it, openly mocked us.

Hope they're even worse than what they have shown today the next decade.  Thought they will be in Tassie long before that could happen.

Round 18 2013, 122 points, same venue.

And didn't they win a ridiculous number of games against us in a row?  Something like 18?  One of the last "hoodoos" we had to break was beating them.

North can suffer in their jocks as far as I'm concerned.

I will say that towards us North fans had a ridiculous amount of arrogance for a team that has achieved exactly nothing in the last 20 years.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
