GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs Adelaide
I haven’t watched much of the Crows recently but looking at the stats from last weeks game against the Eagles they conceded 11 goals to the Eagles KPF triumvirate. Of those Darling (who takes second best defender, best goes to Kennedy) kicked 5. The Weid obviously isn’t in the same class as Darling yet but he will take 2nd best defender. I reckon the Weid to kick 4 and TMac 3. Reckon the margin of victory will be 30 points or thereabouts.

GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs Adelaide
We’re not a flat track bully team. System, process, structure. I expect a similar outcome to last week. Adelaide will challenge us but we’ll keep them at arm’s length and win by a comfortable, regulation 5 goals. I’d like to see Trac have a big game. He’s not quite been at his best lately. Build his confidence before the big tests v the Dogs and Lions. We need him firing to give us the best chance to win those games Hoping the Weid can clunk a few marks and slot 3-4 goals Another game for Petty to build his confidence. Reckon he’ll take Thilthorpe, decent young KPF. To all the Demonlanders over there for the game I hope you have a thoroughly enjoyable day. Go Dees

NON MFC: Rd 10 2021
was thinking the very same thing. the explosive power not quite there for him tonight.

NON MFC: Rd 10 2021
The focus has all been on the Dogs but I think the game v the Lions in the Alice is the tougher of our upcoming 2 games. I don’t like the run the Lions are on so I wouldn’t mind seeing Lynch, the Nank et al softening them up tonight.

What they're saying at Westlakes
that thread is very light on. They don't have too much to say for themselves those crows fans.

TEAMS: Rd 10 vs Adelaide
BB took his marks and slotted his 3 goals v Sydney in a very tight game. I wouldn’t trust the Weid to do that…yet. He really needs to take this chance. No more talk of potential. I think he has what it takes but he’s at an age now where he has to start delivering for us. If he doesn’t fire against Adelaide I reckon we go with the proven goal kicker in BB against the Dogs.

Richmond have been a champion team, hats off to them. But I don’t think too many neutrals will be sorry if they fall back into the pack. Other than Dusty, and Jack Riewoldt in small doses, they are a fairly unlikeable outfit. Compare their behaviour to how Maxy, Trac, Tmac, BB and Lever conduct themselves on the field. I much prefer the way we go about it.

Interview with MFC President Kate Roffey: Deeluded Podcast
Sounds like the MGC precinct home base project is going nowhere fast. I hope we have contingency plans.

TEAMS: Rd 10 vs Adelaide
You know we’re in a good place when the extent of our complaints and arguments over selection is whether Melks or Chandler should get the nod. Both borderline best 22. I would have given Chandler another run but he showed very little against Carlton other than one no look handball that set up Spargo for a goal. He was pretty ordinary overall.

TEAMS: Rd 10 vs Adelaide
The Weid steps out of the shadow of BB. He really needs to take advantage and i reckon he will. Predicting a 5 goal haul.

What they're saying at Westlakes
I'd love to turn Optus into a fortress. Make the Eagles our biatches.

What they're saying at Westlakes
I didn't realise we had a 4-1 win/loss record against the Crows at the Adelaide oval. That's excellent. Granted the venue hasn't been around for long but i doubt we have anything close to that kind of record at any other away ground.

Hardwicks Hoods
We all know about Lynch but i didn't realise the Nank was such a dirty player. Sly digs at Max when we played them and last night's footage showed him completely blindsiding a Giants player (the ball was miles away). I hope he gets his comeuppance on the field of play soon. I'll cheer when i see it.

New kick in rule has helped Dees
Just go the torp ala Zach Tuohy

Gawn's forward postioning
I'm not sure of this decoy idea. Maxy went forward this year to cover for the absence of BB and Weid. He took marks but his conversion is very iffy. There are plenty of talls in our forward line now so I think he just gets in the way. Use him down back which is where we've always used up to this season.

POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton
Either the Weid of BB i reckon. possibly both for another small/medium. Not sure the 3 talls structure will work tbh

A Danger Game
We'll lose a game at some stage. But not this weekend. We'll put the squeeze on the Crows and come away with a 5 goal win

POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton
Goody on 365 just now stated he was very confident that the Weid will be with us next year. Sounded pretty definitive about it. Don't think the Weid is going anywhere soon.

Viney on Brink of Surprise Return
We've been conservative to this point already so if he's fit to play i don't see the point in leaving him out.

POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton
He'll replace the Weid in the side or possibly BB

POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton
Tough one but i'd rather win fair and square.

CHANGES: Rd 10 vs Adelaide
I thought Max was looking tired v Sydney but he looked fine yesterday. There is no one that I can see who obviously needs a rest so I would hold off until the 3 week stretch either side of and including the bye to freshen things. From rd16 onwards have the best 22 playing every week leading into finals.

James Jordon Re-Signs Until 2023
Delighted with his progress thus far. Goes about his business in a no fuss manner. The club has really got its act together from a development perspective and JJ is a testament to that. Didn't know a whole lot about before Rd 1 but i've had him in my votes for Freo and again yesterday. Great start to your AFL career. Well done young man.
