Win tonight and beat port in a couple of weeks and we’ll be top of this table. If not for the special place Optus stadium holds this would be our favourite away ground. If ever the granny can’t be held at the G again (God forbid) and we are playing, I want it played at Adelaide Oval.

Sure the weather will be a leveller but irrespective we are a much better team than them. Our mids will overpower theirs and force the ball forward. Kossie, chandler, spargs, ANB will take care of the rest. Can’t see them getting enough forward momentum and entries to apply any scoreboard pressure on us. hail rain or shine we got this folks.

Carlton have a percentage of 96 after 5 games. Extrapolate across the season they miss finals. How funny would that be.

We don't need him. He can stay where he is.

I'm looking forward to some fun Friday evening death riding. My expectation for the Suns is very low but you never know.

Walker hasn't dropped a mark all night. Velcro hands

Tells me they're ungrateful. The bloke gave his all to the cause and is banged up and broken because of it.

That Fogarty marked kick went about 5 meters

Fogarty is an excellent kick for goal. Clutch effort there and badly needed.

Crows need to stem the flow of Carlton goals. They need the next one.

I'm glad we play the Crows at the G this year.

Carlton getting pantsed here. Hilarious

Crows look very fit. The Burgess strength and conditioning program starting to take effect.

What a goal Tex walker Crows are up for this

Because Gold Coast

Great goal Rankine. He's AA so far this year

Carlton record at adelaide Oval is hideous. I hope their losing streak continues tonight

A great pick by JT. And I assume by this news he has a Melbourne girlfriend.

Think you're reading too much into my post but ok.

I love Kossie, not taking a pot shot here, but so far this year he’s got himself suspended for 2 games for a very reckless bump (would have been for a lot longer if Bailey Smith had been hurt) and he kicked 5 behinds v the Eagles which were quite gettable. We are setting the bar low for him if that is our expected standard.

It’s an extra round of footy. What’s wrong with that?

Kossie needs to make his decision so he can focus on his footy. The longer he leaves it the more energy he uses up and the greater the distraction is. Of course, he could have made his mind up already...

The suns won't be under the blowtorch because nobody cares.

they have 2 big problems which can't be fixed in the short term. 1. they have no forwards. Jackson is not a forward, Taberner is bereft of confidence. Amiss might be a player with time. Walters nearing the end. How will they kick a score to win matches? 2. a dour defensive game plan. The game has moved on but Freo stuck with a 2021 template. No dash, no run and carry. I think they are headed for a 6-win season. If the Suns beat them at the weekend, you can make that a 5-win season (Suns are pathetic themselves so I'm not pinning any hopes on them doing us a favour)

The Hawks drop off in the second half was alarming. I genuinely thought they were a chance to win the game at halftime. They will have to show much more fortitude if they are to win many more games this season.
