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.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
