No one ever mentions we got lever and a 2nd round pick. Effectively it was lever for a pick and a downgrade. 2x first roundpicks is ridiculous. 1 and a downgrade is fine ffs

Felt sorry for lever yesterday. Every time he got the ball he'd have 3 blokes coming at him and he would look up and see only hawks to kick to. Quite simply we did not work hard enough off the ball. We'd switch and the hawkswould take off, meanwhile our mids would be having a cup of tea on the original wing. The guy needs someone to kick to but had no options.

Our limitations are between the ears. Nowhere else

Crows had that won before they stepped onto the park. Never seen a team so visibly soft at the contest. Pies were on fire too though. Doubt they could play much better but adelaide allowed them to play so well

Not sure why brown wasnt sighted for his contact to hibberds face Or cunnington for the head high bump

Yeah its something we've been very poor at for years. A shepherd doesnt have to be a giant bump, just a block that protects the ball carrier and allows him to settle before he kicks is sufficient. Hibberd did this saturday and i said it was a kodak moment

I think theyll do us by about 3 goals. We will bomb it in long and they will counter with way too much efficiency

The dogs actually have a bigger case. Win a flag and get 1 Blues go bottom four and get 4 + opening thursday.

Dees have had 3 friday night games in the last 4 seasons (inc port away this year) How many have carlton had? Loads. Have we won more games than they have in that time? Probably Get [censored] afl

7 goals in a row against us 2 weeks in a row. Needs fixing asap

Na its not fitness. Its just a lack of development to know when and how to slow the game down and work it forward carefully. Playing at lightning pace works a lot..but when the oppo has momentum you need to stop it. Cats did it very well yesterday. A number of times they held onto the ball for about 2 mins. A couple of switches, back and forth, carefully down the wing and a f50 entry. Takes the sting out - but its knowing when AND having the ability to execute as a team. The hawks were masters of it.

I dunno but we are very good at just bombing the ball forward inside 50 to a pack

Some of the rules need changing. Taking the legs should only be feet first. Deliberate shouldnt be paid if the opposition could have kept the ball in. Kicking in danger needs to be paid more Selwood needs more free kicks.

I agree. I also have essendon mates saying how disgusting bancroft gate is...

Heres an essay topic for you The Bancroft ball tampering saga is a darker day for australian sport than essendons drug scandal. Discuss.

Yep. Actually starting to think its a bit fixed. Frees for and against at crucial times crucial places etc. Carlton last night getting 50s at will to keep them in it. Maybe i just need a tinfoil hat. Love of the dees is the only thing keeping me watching though, esp combined with "match day experience" crap. The match day experience is far superior at country footy

That free against sloane was an absolute disgrace.

Go crows. [censored] smash the drug cheating [censored]. Use a chair if needd

Every Club's Theme Song Re-Done The AFL has decided to re-do every single club’s theme song, except for Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney whose tunes are relatively fresh. Get [censored].

The afl are still protecting themselves by protecting essendon. Because NO ONE wants the full story to get out.

This country has got to stop rewarding cheats with cushy jobs. Or criminals with book deals. Or wife bashers with commentary gigs. Etc [censored] james hird.

James hird? Well that discredits the whole thing.... even more

The question is - are they dodgy because they test lots and get lots of positives Or Are they less dodgy because they test lots and find more drug cheats than a sport like, say, soccer which has less than token testing and very few positive tests as a result?

Yes that sounds familiar doesnt it
