But why the waterworks from Nicks? Surely if he had set expected standards of behavior regarding racial vilification he would be angry and dissapointed at Taylor for breaching those standards. Clearly there were no standards and the complaint was not raised internally at the Crows but taken directly to the AFL. Either someone had a grudge for Taylor or thought that raising it internally would go nowhere - which reflects poorly on the Crows culture. More of selfish display and reverse leadership from Nicks than anything.

Tex always sounded like a redneck nickname... evoking an image of good ole cowboy from west texas ...RedNex probably more appropriate

11th commandment. Swans shall beat Essendon by under 1 goal.

haha that was my theory also with Buckley at the pies...the "nice guy" favorite son who ultimately will never get the job done....hope they keep him for a decade

I would have thought so too, even if you are allowed to kick it before it is still half way over the line, by the time it leaves the boot it will likely already be more than halfway over the line.... i guess my point is the digital or camera review has such poor resolution you wouldn't be able to conclude one way or another, so the original decision stands, unless it can clearly be seen to be an absolute howler.... So if it was ruled a point initially by the umpire, that decision would have equally stood

they are absoluting losing it over at bomberblitz.... claiming a matching fixing conspiracy with the umps now.... that soccer goal from harrison jones was 50/50 at best and looked over the line before he connected from the goal camera, just one of many examples that went their way... anyway suck it up dreamers....

Teague sounds like a young AFL360 Robbo when he talks at his pressers, he his still then all of a sudden arks up... His dozey eyes don't help... surely his nickname is "sleepy"?

They will be favorites now against us. they did beat the only team to beat us so logic should prevail....

"Missy" higgins..... how will he ever live that nickname down now? haha

I guess quite a few melbourne supporters are not used to having weaker belief than the players after having believed for so long in the red and blue. maybe any supporter losing belief should show restraint and eat some humble pie before announcing their instinctive lack of belief. it may feel strange.... but will feel good at the end

Definitely best I have ever seen after Round 12. The question is how much we could get worse, get injuries etc, and then how much/fast every other team gets better improves. I hope we can still change gears come september. Also notice the significant analysis of every word coming out of every player / coach's mouth after a win these days...some like to see this as footy IP "leak" opportunities which they are taking seriously given our W/L ratio

ouch 2 goal turn around

Lock Chocco up also?

My favorite :

The home and away season stops now, teams 1 and 2 currently on the ladder play off for the flag this weekend...

Really surprised it wasn't mentioned on Access All Areas as it was done with the mark decision in the Swans v Cats game a few weeks ago. Just shoes the purple [censored] isn't as independent as he always claims to be and is pushing some agenda...

Really missed Salem....our disposal from the back was poor

daylight robbery omg

langdon!!

Awesome win! great to beat the swans at their own game. Bring on Carltank......

was touched apparently...

If only Port had run out in the " prison bar " guernsey, would have topped off a great week for the pies....

OUT : Resting on our laurels after winning the "April premiership" IN : Playing life and death footy against the "easy beats" under us on the ladder
