Would have thought Lobb was a clear Careless-Medium-High and therefore 1 week. It doesn’t matter that it was a “football act”. I’ll be staggered if he doesn’t miss games.

Agree.

Will McCreery and Crisp be looked at for dangerous tackles, I think not.

    I reckon they'll give him three unfortunately.

    I was looking at the wrong table (the AFLQ one). It works out to either 5 or 6 activation points depending on if you think it’s “negligent” or “reckless”, which is 2 and 3 weeks respectively. Or 0 if it’s deemed “accidental” which I don’t rate - I think any act that injures someone should automatically activate some kind of grading. There’s no outcome that gives 1 week.

    What an overly complicated grading system. I like the AFLQ one better 😁

    I am getting sick of McCrae.

    Said Cox was punched in the face and got stitches and he was sure the player would come under MRO scrutiny. 

    He is now as annoying as Chris Scott.

    Wasn’t it a football action though Craig? Like your defender

    Why are The Croms wearing a RED Jumper today, when playing Essenthing??

    Andrew Dillon you really are a waste of space

    Lobb was surprisingly good in defence and his passing was amazing. Took on some difficult kicks and weighted them perfectly.

    Sam Darcy was amazing and made Darcy Moore look small and ineffective. If he kicked a bit straighter dogs would have won.

    Rest of the dogs weren’t all that impressive.

    Colonwood controlled the game well at the end. Fair bit of upside when Mihochek comes back and DeGoey finds form.

    If the club is persisting with this nonsense high half forward role for Fritta, then he should take a look at the way Ben Keays plays that role. Becoming borderline elite.

    Wow Essendon are so poor

    Not even running and tackling

    80pt hammering coming up 

    Absolute training run for the Crows

    Killing them so far. No reason Fritsch couldn’t play at that level, if he really wanted too

    Unrelated. Probably. 

     

    33 free kicks to 14 is shocking
 that’s essentially an extra player on the field.

    We don’t play to his strengths.

    Keays is good but a completely different player to Fritsch

    Keep Bailey up fwd as the loose man and finisher

    This might be a 100 point margin.

    Whatever weights program Thilthorpe has been put on, we need to copy it for Jefferson. He’s a monster.

    Essendon down by ten goals at 3/4 time is always a joy.

    It is starting to look like Adelaide have got their act together and are getting real results out of a forward line which has been 'talent and potential' for a few years. Conescutive 20+ goal games is notable no matter who the opponents are, and I don't think either of St Kilda or Essendon should be assumed to be just pushovers.

    It'll be up to a hard-defending side like us to work out Adelaide, contain their scoring and hit back as they fatigue. Could be important because at this stage Adelaide are looking very much finals-bound.

    Now is the time, he was certainly wasted last week

    Crows should be 4-0 with Gather round to come 

    Zero injuries and looking very fit

    Top 4 chance imo

    Was away so really didn’t bask in the slow death of Carlton fans yet again on Thursday night due to the dodgy reception, but gotta admit, really don’t give a [censored] about Essendon now as they have been [censored] and irrelevant for over 7500 days. My personal dream is to see that magical 10000 days, but can’t say I take a lot of joy seeing them like this.

    I just smile and nod at the hilarity and quickly move on nowadays. 

    Closer to pitying them rather than hate them. 

    Also, Adelaide conceding 100 isn’t good. Let’s see them against more seasoned and fancied sides.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
