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?

    Crows look very good , but there d50 will be their vulnerability. Maybe they’ll take Petty end of year?

    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.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
