Poor old Matthew Nicks sounded bereft in his presser and they're only four games into their season. 

He may be starting to hear the sound of steel sliding over a whetstone from the Crows boardroom.

    Two not so positive aspects. What's happened to JvR's marking? Hard hands tonight. Had the chance to mark four or five times 20 to 30 out. Bounced off his hands.

    IMO he's exhausted from the rucking role by the time he competes in the air. He did mark and goal at a crucial moment and I thought his tap work was excellent. He's becoming a really handy ruck, which gets him into the game. 

    As his tank improves, his marking will improve.

    And Billings. Not convinced he likes the heat of battle and kicking was abysmal.

    Could have had a big night on the scoreboard, but his tackling and general contest game I felt was droppable. I think we'll see his best against Brisbane though.

    I thought he was very poor and should've been subbed off for Taj during the 3rd quarter. I understand why they subbed Brown off but Billings was bad, he missed his chances but worse was his tackling, let multiple tackles slip which allowed the Crows to attack when they should've been held up or turned over.

    He'll have Lachie Hunter breathing down his neck now that he is available again.

     Inexplicable umpiring at times!

     

    No it was explicable.

    Incompetent, simply umpiring to the crowd.

    The rules went out the window and it was purely appease the crowd.

    TBH that umpiring display was shameful.

    Gather round, home side winless and being talked up by everyone from the Premier and Dillon down and packed crowd of Crows fans.

    No surprises there.

    I think you're thinking of Divine.

    If you check at the 1min 44 sec mark, that's Tex gazing into her eyes.

    Why didn't they talk about or even replay the clear push on Rivers by Dawson?

    I wondered the same thing as well. No replay at all. It was just such a blatant push in the back.

    Two wins in a row interstate is a job well done. Take the 8 points and come home fellas.

    The umpires stank.

    I would love to see the insufficient intent free statistics at Adelaide Oval. It only ever gets paid one way!

    I was at the game, thankfully sitting in a bay full of fellow Dee supporters. The noise and booing from the crowd was deafening. My Apple Watch was alarming constantly as the decibels were off the chart.

    Steven May is my hero. What a gutsy performance. He was obviously in considerable discomfort but played his heart out. I thought Tommy Mac was great but don’t get me started on the umpires 🤬🤬

    They totally got sucked in by the crowd and were so inconsistent with their decisions - absolutely appalling.

    Well done team. My first game at the Adelaide Oval and I definitely don’t see what the fuss is about. The MCG is the true home of football.

    That was deadset elite and you just knew as soon as he marked it, he'd kick it straight through the middle.

    Take the 2 wins away in 5 days every time regardless of how, a few banged up players out there, specially Oliver and Brown not sure either should be playing next week unless they make a miracle recovery I’d be giving both an extra long break to get ready for the Anzac game.

    Or he missed three very gettable goals which puts the pressure back on us. A 3-4 goal buffer instead of a 6-7 goal buffer.

    What stood out most though is Melbourne pride themselves on contest and defence. Billings provides none of that. His kicking and ball use against Hawthorn was good. They gave him space. In tight contested games like Port and this one, he doesn't want to know about it which is very un-Melbourne like.

     

    I'm not convinced. If he kicks those 3 goals he's a hero. I'll watch his defensive and contested efforts more closely from now on sparked by your comments. Lets see how he goes...

    Thought Sparrow played a good game. Winning 50-50 contests and spent more time in the middle. With more games like that who needs enemies?

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
