Being called an optimist is strange, as I am pessimistic about our game against Port. Port are basically at full strength and in good form, while we are not in great form and missing 60% of our goal to goal line, including our best player.

and 3-4 are in their worst form in some time.

    Can the Crows please beat the pies today. I'm sick of seeing those jammy bastards winning tight games. They are well and truly due a loss

    Pies are going to be equal on wins with us by tonight.

     

    Likely to be five teams on 48 points when our game starts tomorrow.

    Not many players can do what Tex can with both feet.

    Scott Pendlebury has nearly 350 games under his belt. He has 8 tackles so far in this game. No sign of slowing up yet

    Crows winning contested possessions. They are up for this one! Pies missing Adams 

    and Toby is having one of his magic games against the bears

    Go Crows

    Hope so but Collingwood, as one would expect, are experts at getting out of jail.

    Hope the crows and giants win. 

    Seems the umps are a wake to Ginnivan and he isn't going to get his high frees anymore. 

    Good to see the umps not fall for it.

    Ginnivan would fair better with frees if his technique was more like Selwood's.  Selwood leans his head into the opps upperarm  and drops his knees just a fraction but usually keeps his feet.  Ginnivan leans his head into the opps shoulder but stretches his own arm up high which is a giveaway to the umps that he is staging.  He goes to ground waiting for the free, doesn't try to dispose of the ball and is correctly called HTB.

    I certainly don't condone Selwood's technique.  Prefer they were all penalised.

    Pies with the last 5 free kicks. Multiple missed for the crows. Insane

    whos at home?

    Crows delivery inside 50 letting them down. Poor execution and taking the wrong options

    It'll be tight but maybe some home town umpiring will see the Crows home

    Tex could give our forwards a few lessons on how and when to lead. I know he is a bit of a boofhead but I love watching his powerful forward movement.

    And although I hate to say anything good about the Pies, I consider Pendlebury the best Pies players I have seen. Sublime.

    I let myself get too excited by North last week, I'm not letting that happen again today with Adelaide.

    Fully assuming Collingwood pull yet another close win out of their rear ends.

    Winning close games is a bit of a skill, no doubt, but it's also a lot of luck. They're already 6-1 in close games this year, and IMO are in the conversation for having the least impressive "best" football for a top 4 contender I've ever seen. Their best football doesn't get close to us, Geelong, Fremantle, Carlton, Brisbane, or even Sydney, Richmond or the Dogs. But they keep games close with effort and they hold their nerve late.

    They're 6-1 in close games, actually

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
