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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
