So a dangerous tackle is when you hold a players arm, you drag them down and they hit their head on the ground?

Is that a technically correct decision?

    For a bloke who is quite average at his own job BT is super confident about critiquing the goal umpires.

    He’s always banging on about them not wanting to take responsibility for decisions by having them reviewed. I’m aussming but wouldn’t the review-happiness be an AFL directive

    Burgess the secret weapon. Adelaide totally transformed, they remind me of us in 21

    Nowhere near our 2021 version. They still need to defend a lot better, don’t think we ever had 78 points scored against us half way through a third quarter in 21.

    Don’t forget there was no 6-6-6 when we had Burgess

    Much easier to defend in 21

    I think this is the case. They were told to review any scoring situations that may looked close… after Adelaide missed out on finals in edition 55 of the crows were robbed right in front of me, haha

    Watching how fluently and accurately both these sides are able to move the football makes me wonder how we're ever going to win a game.

    Perhaps scheduling Adelaide to play tonight, off a five day break after playing on the Gold Coast in the daytime in early-April, wasn't the best idea?

    As frustrating as it is to see Geelong rack up another win to know there are 50,000 Crows supporters going home disappointed after losing an extra home game their state government bought does soften the blow a little.

    How did we end up with Laurie and Bowey and Geelong got Holmes.

    Blame Adelaide for trading the pick to them.

    Fitness, selflessness, hunger, superior coaching along with recruitment the difference between Geelong and our Club.

    [censored] it makes me angry watching our demise and these smug crunts turn up year after year and take the p iss out of the comp when our lists are so similar.

    Player development they can attract quality coaches and have a great development pathways that nurture their young talent.

    I think the stand rule came in the league in 21 and teams hadn't navigated their way around it yet.

    Once they did our style of play was made redundant.

    Quick speed on the ball killed us and we stuck with it our style for too long.

    You are right. Thanks for that

    I knew there was a rule, that hindered only us!!

    We shouldn’t have risked it. And traded up to take 18 or 19 for 20,21 and a f2. I get you don’t get them all right and we were probably going for Holmes and Bowey.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
