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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
