They seem to be able to do it without any effort whatsoever 

It's certainly a race for the bottom!

Kangas v Blues 

1. Carlton rely on Curnow and McKay. But they are seriously very good. 
2. Kangas youngsters are impressive.  Simpkin, Sheezel, LDU and they’ll add Wardlaw in next few weeks. 
3. Kangas poor goalkicking and Larkeys injury hurt their chances. 
4. Blues need Sam Walsh in. He’s run was missed and he will be a key to their premiership chances 

5. Umpires in 3rd quarter were horribly favouring Carlton. It killed North to see Blues get so many frees whilst they didn’t get one for the last 20 minutes in the 3rd. Best comment about the umps. No comment. 

I might be in the minority here, but Carlton haven’t proven anything yet. They’ve had a very soft draw and only just beat the Giants after a ridiculous free kick and just did enough against North.

Just wait until they play a genuine contender. Then we’ll see the real Carlton.

I’m with ya, don’t rate them.

🎶 Whoomp (There It Is) 🎶 

Nice choice, Izak  😁

Jackson did everything right then from the centre bounce, Tabener let him down.

Izak wouldn’t have been born the year that song was kicking around.

Good start Crows - 50-21

Most of them choose songs that were released long before they were born. 
Related: I’m glad Nick Murray’s not likely to kick a goal since his song is Thank God I’m A Country Boy. I’ve heard more John Denver in the past fortnight than I care to.

Putting our pick aside, Freo are destined to finish bottom 4 playing this style. Longmuir needs to overhaul their system big time and we know how hard that is mid season.

The only side they should beat is Hawthorn - I’d bet against every game.

Just had a little nap - good to see that the game hasn't changed much, Croms still 30 ahead

Are we seeing the Darren Burgess effect at the Crows.

for sure

Adelaide’s pressure is excellent but gee Freo have looked bad so far. Jackson has had a couple of moments where he just misses having the quality midfield to give it off to.

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Sheesh…I didn’t think Freo were this bad. They got lucky with all the Weagles injuries last week. Jackson was really plodding half way through the second, is he carrying an injury?

[Demonland 71,613]

We might actually get a top 5 pick. Thanks Jacko. 

[daisycutter 29,604]

this game is for the crow's to lose

don't let us down

[DubDee 25,667]

crows were up by 30pts against GWS and tigers by 40 and lost both

not over yet

They are very fit and have a hard edge.

Few Freo blokes have not enjoyed the heat of battle...

Is anyone else kind of uncomfortable with the thought that the Crows might soon be good again? It just doesn't sit right with me, like having someone standing outside your window. They seem to be okay for 'regular players' and with a bit of star power as Izakermanis and co mature, they might become a genuine problem.

Yeah could have used another year of mediocrity

I’m on my deathbed thanks to finally being hit by the damn rona three years too late. But this Freo game is bringing me back to life baby.

Sorry to hear Jaded, least you got something to watch.

[DeelightfulPlay 2,543]

Crows pressure 228 and Freo 198 according to Fox/Kayo in this Round 3.

Certainly a bit uncomfortable to think they're up and running again

[daisycutter 29,604]

nice bit of staging by schulz

[YearOfTheDees 3,266]

Jackson is really missing the support from his team mates.

[DeelightfulPlay 2,543]

Jackson mark watch:  2

Found out today my younger sister's friend matched with Dogga on Hinge 😂
