That's not my idea of a fun Sunday arvo. I know Collingwood look vulnerable but they keep getting it done. It's a very good place to be.

    Crows threw that game away in the first half. 1.8 is not good enough. their second was bloody amazing though

    The Pies have definitely been found out though. The crows are typically horrible away and if they kicked straight they would have won easy.

    It sucks they're back on top of the ladder and there supporters are carrying on

    I will suggest something that doesn’t suck.

    We play Pies in first final and win and Port also wins, meaning we could make a GF playing all games at the G and one of, if not both of Pies and Port miss the GF.

    It’s not coincidence that certain clubs get an armchair umpiring ride constantly.

    I will never believe that, the evidence is overwhelming, it’s not rub of the green or a one off, it is blatantly constant.

    The reason is most likely to do with the large one sided crowd. 

    The umps are incompetent but crows do ok on balance. The umps did their best to get them over the line when these 2 played earlier in the season. Their kicking cost them that game and cost them this game as well.

    Was never going to be paid against the 2023 anointed premiers.

    Agree and 21-11 frees to Pies and goal taken off Rankine and Fogarty and Dawson belted, as ball coming and yet Pies get 3 soft goals from frees in last quarter.

    That said we need Pies and Port to beat everyone below us so good for us.

    Spot on.   Disspassionately, another top 4 contender now 2 games and % behind Dees.

    Upside IMO Crows validated last week's game against the Pies by Dees in that they showed just how to play them and their vulnerabilities.  We were no fluke.

    Still, you have to be able to execute for 4 quarters to avoid the final 1/4 heroics by the Pies.

    Yeah it is pretty much a square up

    And the umpires. All under instruction. I really wonder what the umpires are told by their coaches.

    Yep . Bleeding from the nose as a result and you can see him asking the ump why it wasn't paid!

    That’s what I said, the large one sided crowd affects umpires.

    Where was the game played when the Crows got the umpiring? Adelaide.

    Is this the worst match-up visually in the AFL? That Gold Coast jumper abomination and then hawthorn with their colours (admittedly this design is better than their home one).

    Yes. The reverse fixture earlier this season

    It’s a very even year because most teams are 💩. Pies are top of the ladder and if you put them against most premiers they’d rate as very weak and a forgettable lucky team like the Bulldogs of 2016. Whoever wins this year will be a weak premier IMO. We could definitely steal another flag.

    Yes, hard to predict what will happen next week. Even Carlton could resurrect given how the season is going so far.

    Suddenly the Swans are a couple of wins away to be serious finals contender.

    Last goal Collingwood kicked I think it was, 2 Crows players grabbed at the centre bounce without the ball and thrown aside, play on Collingwood goal wtf

    I wouldn’t talk too soon. I don’t know if we will beat Adelaide. 

    I was being facetious Jaded.

    That said - why on earth would you be concerned we'll beat the crows?

    Because we got beaten the by the cats and the umpires at a ground they have a huge advantage at, the week after being far too good for the supposedly unbeatable pies?

    True, but it works in their favour at Adelaide Oval

    I wasn’t offended. And as far as I know ppl can quote any post regardless of to whom it’s ‘directed.’

    Your comment doesn’t ‘remain relevant’ because it wasn’t relevant to begin with.

    Finally, don’t tell me to relax.

     

     

    You really have a few issues. This is the second time you’ve blown up over a reply. The post was very relevant, regardless of what you say. Are you this angry when making the banners?

    No, because Adelaide are a decent side who love to move the ball quickly, which is something that we have trouble with. They also have excellent ground ball players in their forward half, which is another weakness of ours. 
    They also have Burgess who would know the ins and outs of our side and has them running hot in second halves. 

    It is hardly a guaranteed win.

    I know that’s why I referred to large one sided crowds, wherever played.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
