he also took a mark on the wing about a minute before that and gave the quick handball rather than using up time to take his kick. no smarts at all.

they've won 10 of the last 11 games decided by a goal or less. thats more than luck.

after all their hard work in the last quarter just no composure or game management once they went ahead.

pies composure in these situations is outstanding as much as it pains me to say it. crows had the ball in there 50 and were not smart. thats the difference

what a goal rankine. thats on a par with Fritschy's effort

all crows this final quarter. pies just flooding the defence and hanging on

come on Crows. get the next one and make it interesting

Pies have fallen asleep just before the break. 3 in goals in 4 mins for the crows has got them right back into this game

Pendlebury still has it

wrong thread DD

We've played the Hawks as a sat evening twilight fixture in recent years. She's got to see us beat them regularly, so they are not on her radar at all as a team to dislike. Don't worry though. If they ever get their act together (hopefully never) i'll be sure to provide another parental history lesson.

Cam Pederson couldn't get a game at North before coming to us. Like Bernie Vince and Daniel Cross, was not the flashiest player, but gave a few seasons of very solid service in an ordinary side. Will always have a soft spot for Pedo

Super proud dad moment to report. Heading to Coles with my 11-year-old daughter this morning. The Sydney Carlton game was mentioned on radio while we were driving there. My daughter said, “please tell me Carlton didn’t win”. I asked why she didn’t want Carlton to win. She said “because Carlton. And Collingwood", while waving her finger in a shaking her head in a No No gesture. "We don't ever want them to win". I told her to add Essendon to the list and gave her a big hug when we got out of the car.

A Crows win at the G v the pies would round out a perfect set of results to start the round. It would be even better if the pies cop a beating same as the Cats and Carlton.

very impressive from the Swans. always enjoyable watching Carlton get thumped

all swans this quarter. should be farther ahead

swans inaccuracy could be the difference

6-0 against fellow contenders is a fantastic record. Sydney deserving flag favourites at this stage

Suns have been dead eye kicking for goal tonight

insufficient intent is a stupid rule

a pulled hammy or 2 for the cats would be the icing on the cake here

this is the worst i've seen the Cats play since we smashed them in the 21 prelim

great work by Lukosius on the behind line there

This could be a 100 loss for the Cats keep your foot on their throat Suns

this is getting ugly for the Cats. would be a beautiful start to the weekend to see them cop a shellacking. I can just picture the scowl on Scott's face if that happened.
