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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
