Mids getting embarrassed 0 clearences in a quarter is downright dreadful.

Howes is weak at the contests.

Alice Springs all over. Completely smashing in all aspect of the game. Clearly we haven't learnt anything from last time.

Harry Petty once again getting smashed in the one on one marking contests. The guy is an absolute flop

Smashing us on the outside and clearence work

That was a blatant holding the ball on Darcy

Jordan Clark already having a significant impact for them off half back.

Haha agree.. must having been watching a different game. Took a 21 year old in JVR to turn the tide back our way in terms of being able to half the ruck contests with his physicality.

What was the conditions like yesterday? Haven't watched the game. I played yesterday at my local league level up here in Albury and I can't remember the last time I played in such atrocious and horrific conditions. It non stopped rained 24 hours prior, then during the game it was not only showers but the wind made it feel like we were playing at Mt Buller. I read that a country league game in Victoria had to be abandoned because of players getting hypothermia.. guaranteed we weren't far off!!

I would like to say I'm confident but I'd be lying. I've watched Freo of late and they're impressive team on the rise. They're starting to build some really good self belief within the team, not saying we aren't either, but seems that JL seems to have them finally connecting in all three lines of the ground Freo at home this year have been hard to stop. Yes they lost to West Coast but I think like us they were just completely off their game. Their slingshot off half back and ability to move the ball at speed is what is winning them games this year. See the Sydney game where this was on display. The Jackson/Darcy combo is another factor. Forget Draper, these two are miles ahead of him. It worries me that we're going to be putting more focus on JVR as a ruckman this week then we would initially like because Petty struggled to provide a solid contest when he was in there. Can see this one going right down to the wire. Go Dees.

Yeah I thought initially he signed a 2 year deal with us?

With Nick Murray potentially doing his ACL last night then I have no doubt Crows will come harder again at the end of the year.

EAD Essendon

Fullarton was destroyed by Nick Bryan in the ruck.. at VFL level. Imagine what Darcy and Jackson are going to do to him.

Didn't realise Bowey was named in the bench. He could absolutely either get dropped or start as a sub. His form of late has been pretty poor and considering AMW has been playing better football off half back they might look at using this opportunity to get Fullarton in perhaps. All guesswork I suppose.

Yeah the I'm a huge fan of Cumming and glad we're targeting him. Have watched him closely and even last year he really got them going off half back last year. He's a high end talent when fit.

So we're making assumptions and mockery of people's sexuality now are? You're low act. Glad we're seeing your true colours as always.

This a first we've actually agreed on something? 😅

@Gator needs to post more. One of the more respected members of this page for many years. From a footy analysis point of view he just calls it as he sees it and you can never have enough of people of that ilk around here.

I have us winning 3 games for the rest of the year which should get us in. I do agree that if we lose the next two then I do think our season may be done.

Hahahahah! I think I've found my new favourite poster.

That's literally their job... create controversy, generate clicks, annoy supporters. I can certainly guarantee their bosses aren't pulling them into the office for a written warning for the generating clicks and creating controversy.. even though I still think what they have said is nothing on what we've already heard this year Everyone wants the piece of the pie in being a big hot shot Journo. Example A being the two journalists in WA with their treatment of Adam Simpson. The footy media landscape is only going to get much worse.

You're stating that I'm implying that we do trade him. There is no where or even a hint of evidence that suggest I was even suggesting this. I'm merely saying that Tom Morris isn't saying anything extraordinary that we haven't heard already this year. It's literally folks like you who have let this trigger you without even breaking it down. He's literally saying clubs have asked the question? What's so controversial about that? Star players get asked every year from all clubs because it's part of their due diligence. Of course clubs are going to ask the question about Oliver, he's a star player. The difference between this one is that the Oliver story has carried noise all year so of course it's going to drum up attention You can relax brother, he's not getting traded.. 😅

That I agree with! His bias towards Port and JHF is ridiculous.
