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
 Bunch of pre school kids run the AFL

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
