It's the game we need to lose to beat the doggies next week.

I'll show myself the door now.

Signing off for the night.

    The lack of pressure from the mids and high half forwards is the problem more than those missing from the backline. 

    Yes that too. But Crows have also gotten more goals from clearances. I don’t think we got our match ups right. May needs to play high on Walker. 

    It's half time. Take a chill pill. If we don't turn up in the 3rd quarter then I'll be worried. And then there's always the fourth.

    Yep especially in our forward half.  Kozzie & Spargod rarely sighted.  Both having a mare need to get VERY busy in the second half.

    Once again, Lever doesn’t take the simple first option and butchers it.

    They're in his head today.

     

    Getting beat on the outside back line seems to be not gelling tonight. Bombing ball into fwd 50. Just need to reset

    Not enough our small forward pressure players:

    Spargo

    AnB

    Pickett

    Need a ton more from them.

    May be the slump we need to have. Can't see us beating Doggies on current form. It's all good.

    Just remember how much this mob were up against Hawthorn some weeks ago and still ended up losing. Look at how Hawthorn have gone since too. It was level-ish at half time when we played Adelaide last season and we ended up flogging them (even though it wasn’t a real season). Let’s see how we adjust in the second half.

    Their footskills having been really good for a bottom 6 side. Not allowing us to set up our defense.

    If there's any consolation, we played like rubbish in the first half and are level...

    Were we too confident dropping Brown?

    The bombing inside 50 in good weather would actually suit him. He has a great reach. 
     

    I don't think may has been all that great today either. Dropped a sitter not manning up properly and not being as reliable today

    the problem is starting in the middle Our pressure just isn't there. We need to lift because we've allowed the Crows to play their game, they're now up and about and full of confidence. 

    We do like a challenge but if you keep tempting fate eventually you'll come undone.

    100% Some of their youngsters coming through are really good kicks. If the ball is coming through that quick no defence will stop it.

    Considering Adelaide's transition and pace, I think it was the right call. Brown's defensive deficiencies are no secret.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
