Darcy Moore, Ben Reid and probably Pendlebury. Hopefully Pendles decides he needs another week of rest. Either way I think we should go in favourites, and this is a massive opportunity for us.

Moore and Pendlebury are good ins, I hope they play Reid, put a fork in him cos he’s cooked. 

We will slaughter Collingwood even with a few better players coming back.

"ADELAIDE coach Matthew Nicks has backed the Crows' move to target Melbourne's Max Gawn off the ball last week, declaring "we actually didn't know Gawn was injured". it-was-never-our-intention-crows-defend-gawn-tactics

If he expects anyone to believe that it adds insult to injury. 

and 'confesses' "They'd [Demons] done a lot of blocking off ball for him and freeing him up...so we went in with the mindset of not allowing that 'throwing the first punch' (mentality), becoming a physical side off ball so that we weren't dictated to". 

I didn't see much evidence of us blocking off the ball for Max, in fact I felt we didn't do enough to help him.

Crows should be find for deliberately flouting the rules.

Never heard such a bunch of lies. So they happened ‘by chance’ to hit the injured area of gawn in every occasion, and behind play too.

If Brayshaw played a full season in the real midfield I'm confident he'd be a top 10 brownlow finisher. 

And this is why Goodwin agitates me. He was:

1: Wayyyyyy too slow to bring Weideman in.

2. Wayy too slow to take Oscar out.

3. Negligent for not putting Brayshaw in his natural position and stunted his development since 2018.

4. Never trialled anything in game. Against Port Adelaide I'm sure fans would've liked to have seen May in the forward line, or Lever on a wing or whatever. Something! Throw the bloody magnets around Simon for Christ's sake!

5. And just his overall game style has proven ineffective for our playing list. And he's been unable to get the most out of the players. 

Add to the list, playing Fritsch in the backline when he’s a natural forward. I know it was last year but highlights the point of being slow to react. Some argument to keeping Harmes as a tagger too. Understand it’s hard to fit everyone into the midfield.

Question is   how many Brownlow votes will he get ?

6

Great win. Should have been 100 points but I’ll take it. Let’s wait for Garry Lyon’s negative comments tomorrow morning on SEN.

Spargo?? Are you serious? He had 7 score involvements and barely wasted the ball.

Did some actually watched tonights game?

I must admit I said spargo too but on reflection probably not. Selection is getting tough which is good. 

Loving his work, just needs to kick them through the big sticks. 

In: Viney, Gawn

Out: Harmes, Spargo

Roos playing with another 3 men. 

Should be in front by 2 goals but typical Melbourne we are down by 10 points. We have some dumb players. Not sure how much umps have been paid off. 

Harmes having a shocker 

We would have to be the most frustrating side by far to watch. 

I think he’s cooked.

happy listening to Daisy on the coverage.   Love to see the blues get up.   Getting sick of the niknat fawning at the moment by commentators.  

Glad someone else is sick of the praise around niknat. Yeah he’s been good with hit outs but gets nothing of the ball around the ground. I’d take gawn every day of the week. 

I reckon north are too top heavy, particularly in their backline. Walker, tarrant, McKay, Durdin, we will run them off their feet. 

I reckon we will play one good half and that will enough to win by 52 points. 

We could make an argument that he is missing this week due to the Adelaide players behavior. It’s just a dog act that doesn’t need to be done. Make a statement and suspend the players involved. We all know the afl won’t have the guts to do it.  

Well Preuss is never going to get a game then if not this week. Some smart recruiting. 

That’s stupid. Massive over reaction. If he didn’t get concussed it would have been 1 week 

Haven’t had a chance to see the first half. But just looking at the stats we consistently have a lot of players that don’t get much of the ball. Rely on about 4 mids at that’s it. 

We can’t make top 4. 

Fierce and Melbourne are words that don’t go together. 

Being a Melbourne supporter for so long I expect these results. Would take years of good performances to have any confidence. 

Yep westhoff here we go.
