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.

I can’t recall winning games a game without Clarry for about 6 years.😉

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.

Adelaide lack class around the ball but for most of what I’ve seen this year you can’t question their effort.

 

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

things looking good!!

Go Crows

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

Not so much their supporters.


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

what a soft 50 that was. thank you umpire

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

 

The filth will probably win by a point.

After a head high free paid to you know who.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
