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.

    • 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 1Âœ 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.
