    Rachele is a seriously gifted player and his positional awareness is outstanding, but boy his 2nd efforts are soft. If he doesn't get it first time, he stops.

    I [censored] HATE Essendon so much. And I hate the cheating umpires. And I hate the AFL for choreographing games.

    The three goals gifted to them in isolation are bad enough. But they kickstarted Essendon’s momentum roll and psychologically the Crows were stymied and it makes watching this almost insufferable.

    This is the worst defending I’ve seen all year by two AFL teams. Absolute garage and can’t believe Essendon are in the 8.

    Cox kicking 3 goals. THAT'S how bad the Crows are playing at the moment.

    Yep. Just don’t tell his mum that. She won’t receive it well. I found out the hard way 😂

    Crows, bombres - you can’t trust either of them. Absolutely no defending. 
    Just wanted the bombres to lose, but those boys in yellow have other ideas. And so do the Crows by the looks of it.

    My father-in-law has contributed a Vietnamese expression for the kind of defense these teams are offering;

    "soft as soaked noodles"

    The Croms don't know how to arrest momentum with the possession / kick - mark game.

    They're just 'all ahead full' almost 100% of the time.

    Getting smacked around stoppage & CBs since half time as well.

    Essendon have a man playing the pocket, similar to ANB (when he plays there), and Croms have allowed him to play unmanned at almost every around ground stoppage so far.

    I have been a bit of a fan of Matthew Nicks at Adelaide, but surely they have to let him go now, before the end of the year. They have a decent list now but can't defend and can't hold momentum.

    They are a seriously frustrating team. 
    And that’s up against some pretty strong opposition (at being soft - NOT calling bombres strong opposition, just to make that absolutely crystal clear)

    Their supporters must be stabbing themselves in the eyes.

    Do either of these teams know it’s not first to 100? I mean, you are allowed to defend.

    Does that mean you think at least 1 of them will get 100? The way they’re kicking…

    Adelaide defence is woeful, I think we can still leverage Petty on a trade. He's a very good tall defender.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
