Browns knees are cactus. He'll need to be nursed through the season. Reckon being named sub is just part of managing him while also giving some gametime to Petty.

terrible i50 delivery from the crows. butchering opportunities

why is this review taking so long. blind freddie could tell the ball has crossed the line.

crows need to get a grip or this could get ugly. Ball coming in way too easily

crows don't look much chop so far

both cats goals way too easy.

I have to admit I'm jealous of the dockers this year death riding the pies first pick. Early days but it looks like it will be a juicy pick for them.

people have forgotten that the Elliot mark for the first goal clearly bounced into his arms. an obvious non-mark. reckon the out of bounds goal squared that injustice so pies can't complain on that front. they did get stitched by the umps though.

lions and pies to fall out of top 4. reckon Swans, Giants, Carlton and ourselves will fill the top slots this year.

Every year st kilda are talked up. they never deliver. they've got some good players in King and Marshall and they are well drilled by Lyon but they are a 6-8 team at best.

A crows win over the cats tonight would set the weekend up perfectly.

Pies will miss finals. They remind me of Leicester a few years ago when they won the EPL (2016 i think it was). For a season and a half they couldn't lose even though everyone expected the wheels to come off at any moment. The season after their miraculous win they crashed and burned finishing 12th.

great kick King

saints i50 delivery is terrible

some of saints kicking out of defence is kamikaze. got away with one earlier but no let off here. really poor. lyon will be going nuts. gifts a goal to the pies which they badly needed it.

I'm daring to dream. pies not at the races at all.

very sloppy from Darcy Moore

looked like a very hard landing on his shoulder. doesn't look good at all

never a mark by Elliott. why wasn't that reviewed? really obvious non-mark costing a goal against the saints.

last week's selections were heavily criticised. As it transpired they worked out well. maybe the FD know what they are doing and we should back them in. If they reckon is good to go then get him in is my view. no point in waiting.

will be cheering on the saints for sure. but won't be a casual watcher of their games outside of games like this. Their style of football is eye bleed inducing.

i agree no pushover. i was commenting more on the fact they haven't beaten in so long. They belted us for years so a great trend to reverse.

Hawks haven’t beaten us since 2018. What a great state of affairs. Hope they don’t beat us for another 100 years

I was there. As I said in my post you responded to if you cared to read it properly. It didn't look like a 44k to me but as others have responded likely because people took cover between the stands, in bars etc. to avoid the sun.

Has slotted in nicely. Goes to show the value of being patient with youngsters. They come on at different rates and it looks like blake needed a little longer to get ready for AFL footy. MFC development philosophy and approach vindicated again.
