For starters

Luke Jackson-Fullerton/Schache

That’s the number 1 problem this year 

Losing Brayshaw and Jordon.
Angus was never going to pass a medical after last September, We let Jordon go way too easily 

I hope McAdam can show us something, but he is very injury prone, if you know any Crows Supporters, they weren’t too fussed losing him

They weren't too fussed after they knew McAdam was leaving but before he was leaving they wanted a straight swap for Petty.

It took them a couple of weeks to work out it wasn't happening.

He played well for them for a 3 year period.

    McAdam played some good games at Crom, but he hasn’t had consistency yet. If we can get that out of him, then he will be an asset. 
    His kicking sure let him down last week.

    Of course the club with the most frees by far, gets a quiet patch in a game and the Coach is complaining about umpiring.

    Blues just must have every free.

    Anyone watch the Giants beat the cats at the cattery.  Wow. They were desperate.  They missed chances in the first half and early in the third quarter.  Giants should have been 8 goals up but at 5 goals, the cats clawed their way back.  Yet even with the home town fans screaming for the cats, the giants held on and then got the last goals through a piece of Greene magic. Their pressure then to hang on and keep the cats scoreless in the last 8 minutes.  Bodies on the line.  Tackles that held.  Yes held the player up.  
     

    I honestly would love to see Dees take our intensity to lift to this level.  We show it in parts.  Yes in parts only and certainly not at the start of games.

    Somehow we got comfortable. Maybe the Dees got “ freed from desire “ too much after 2021.  Goody also got comfortable imv and needs 240 volts as well.

    Essential viewing:

    The Scott press conference.

    Old mate Scotty didn't disappointed.

    I admire his confidence.

    He could have gone safe in his attempt to win the coveted Poor sportsmanship- coaches division award (or as it is colloquially known, the sour puss).

    After all  he has a handy lead over mcrae, who has surged of late, scoring big with his patented go to passive aggressive routine.

    But, no, Scotty decided to attempt the rare triple pay the opponents no respect move - and totally nailed it. Respect.

    The cats apparently played poorly for 3 quarters against the giants, port and dees - and still almost won (he got bonus points for using the under a goal line - the judges loved it).

    Though he missed a chance to try the even rarer quadruple disrespect trick by not disrespecting the suns a bit more.

    Though he did pick up some easy points by acting if having 160 points scored against them is no big deal.

    And really, probably didn't need the extra points after totally nailing his signature 'no disrespect with a backhanded compliment twist' trick.

    As scott noted, a big factor in the game was the giants taking contested marks

    But, with 'no disrespect', the giants' old school strategy of kicking long to a contest was very basic - but only worked because the cats marked poorly.

    And the judges gave Scott extra points for that trick for the litte twist only the true sour puss aficionados would have picked up - that backhanded compliment was the ONLY time he mentioned the Giants.

    Personally, I loved how Scotty slipped in the tried and true trick of, apropos of nothing, mentioning that the cats have young players (all 3 of them)

    A bravura performance.

    I was at Marvel Stadium yesterday. A solid, professional win by the Blues. It could have blown out further but I think Carlton were easing up in the last 10 minutes of 4th quarter as they play Port in Adelaide on Thursday. Voss made some interesting selections and positional changes (they all worked), a bit adventurous for him, seems to be evolving as a coach now 🤔

    The Suns are a solid team now and will get better. Mac Andrew will be a star. Not sure what Max King's contract status is but the Dees should definitely be chasing him as it could be one of those 'missing piece' signings.

    I caught some of Geelong v GWS on Kayo and did watch all of the last quarter. Both teams were annointed as likely Premiers early in the season and both faltered since. Gritty win by GWS away in Geelong, this might get their season back on track.

    McKenzie is coming along really nicely at the Hawks.

    I know they choked it last week. But i fear that disgusting brown Hawk thing will be back making havoc soon. 
     

    they must be taken down

    Is that Brisbane out of the finals race or does their draw keep them just barely clinging on?

    They would need to pick up a game on the Dogs, two games on Freo and Gold Coast, and also three games on one of the current top 7.

    Done, with the amount of injuries they have.

    We should have smashed the Eagles last week. This is the side they are and we didn’t show up, expected a win without effort and got embarrassed by a cellar dweller. Nothing can convince me otherwise. 

    This game will likely cost a top 4 spot.

    Really cringeworthy too see Essendon in second place.

    It's just sickening watching this crows Eagles game after west coast looked like this star team last week & seeing them perform like this.

    We should not have lost that game last week.

    This is really annoying me. Collingwood have the grit to fight out these wins. Not sure we have the same 

    My own craziness did not age well 😂

    The only thing worse than losing is playing a slow, defensive garbage game style and losing, while at the same time having an deep lack of talent from systemically overrating and overestimating your list. 

    I don't see a way forward for the Saints that doesn't involve bottoming out completely

    • 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.
