Some nice link-up play. Melks could have done a lot better with his final ball

Play like we did against the lions we win, even without Clarry. Produce a performance similar to last week then we lose. im just not sure which dees will turn up today.

Jack Viney is having a great year. I've no doubts about him at all today It's the foot soldiers who need to lift. Spargs, Sprarrow, Bedford must give us more. Nibbler hasn't been great either. We need May to get back to his towering best. Hope Tommo can slot in seamlessly. He was fantastic playing Petty's role before the knee injury last year I'm hoping against hope that Melks can find the ball and deliver some gold platter service to our forwards. If he improves our connection today he will have justified his selection. I'm not confident. Port are resurgent. Every remaining game a final for them if they want to make the 8. Just hoping for the win tbh. Any sort of a scrappy, ugly win will do Go Dees

Freo Swans going down to the wire

That was some goal from Cameron

Atrocious goal kicking from the Tiges. Some of their misses were comical

I'm willing North on here

Gallant from North but they won't hold on

Looks like North are going to tease us again

McRae close to coach of the year. The pies won't keep winning close games but he is extracting the maximum from this team. They tackle and pressure as good as any, run both ways and they take the game on. I hope they flame out later in the year but you never know. They could well go deep into finals

Great game. The quality wasn't always there but it was a ferocious contest throughout. Credit both teams. The intensity was finals like. And i absolutely hate the pies

oh my lord. 2 in quick succession for the Crows. Hold onto your hats folks. This is going down to the wire

Clutch goal from Johnson. Superb kick

Umps doing their thing. They might just get the Crows over the line here

what a soft 50 that was. thank you umpire

Crows delivery inside 50 letting them down. Poor execution and taking the wrong options It'll be tight but maybe some home town umpiring will see the Crows home

Tis fiery in here today. I hope the team can show the same intensity tomorrow

Scott Pendlebury has nearly 350 games under his belt. He has 8 tackles so far in this game. No sign of slowing up yet

Can the Crows please beat the pies today. I'm sick of seeing those jammy bastards winning tight games. They are well and truly due a loss

I'd be shocked and delighted if we got 2 top 5 picks. Or a top 5 player. Would Darcy be interested in coming back to Victoria I wonder? If dogga insists on leaving (i don't know how adamant he is) then we'll have to accept what we get. Freo's current and future first is probably the deal. I'd be confident JT will have a real player with one of the picks. Might not be the deal we would ideally like but if he's out of contract what choice do we have. All depends whether Jackson cares if we're looked after in the deal. You'd hope after we've invested in him he'd do the right thing by us

Gives him 2 more years to find him a homely Melbourne girlfriend

Good finish Mitch Hannan

Agree. Play finals at the G is the preference But I’d rather play Geelong there than Carlton

Saints ball movement atrocious. They are going to play the doggies into form right before we play them next week

I’d rather Geelong win. Best to keep Carlton out of the top 4 because I think they are a bigger September threat. we know the cats will chit the bed come finals.
