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. 

goal of the year rankine

Rankine & Rhachele just kicked goals with ease.

We don’t play to his strengths.

Whatever happens, remember - we could be the Peptides

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.

Watching Nibbler for the Crud’s gives me discomfort in my lower colon.

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

Bombers still have bad juju for their systematic doping regime and still being in denial

not much defending going on in this game

Maggots trying to help Bummers this third quarter.

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.
