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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
