We are deadset screwed. Melbourne should be planning for a 100pts + win Etihad is not an advantage anymore against them. They beat us easily there in 2017 Melbourne will be the best team we've played this year, looking awesome today: pace, excellent field-kicking, goal-kicking - all those things we lack really. All those early draft picks and some astute recruiting have created an impressive line-up We've been killed by some of the best rucks recently and next game happens to feature Gawn Neal-Bullen dominated last week. Taken 5 spots before Bailey Dale So far this year we have kicked 97 goals, Demons have kicked 160. We're screwed. All we can do is stack the team with defenders and hope for the best At what stage to we plead the mercy rule we have kicked 10 goals the last 2 weeks they have kicked close to 50 goals so if that average applies 25 goals to 5 goals 120 point margin Logically Melbourne should be winning this easily, but they’re definitely due for a down game Lost all 4 quarters to them last year I predict Melbourne to meet West Coast in the GF and lose a nailbiter Melbourne supporters whinging about going theough tough times the last 10 years which is why they're getting ahead of themselves now Melbourne will beat us by over 80 points - Gawn will dismantle us Melbourne might even smash us by more they did last yr - and that was a slaugheration. We can only hope the Dees get ahead of themselves and screw up I got a horrible feeling about this week after our last 2 and Melbourne ‘s last two Be a hell of a scalp against Melbourne Every week Bevo comes out with excuse after excuse , total dribble , over complicates his post match analysis I am literally at a complete loss. To me 2016 seems like a grand deception Can we just concede defeat and not even turn up for the Melbourne game?

Ross Oakley says it started in Jan 1st 2000.

i don't remember goodwin being THAT good a player.

the most meaningful stat imho is were the frees are paid.

that ruckman from perth . . . Johnson.?

They are now all experts in the recent history of the MFC. Almost all the commentators, analysts and opinion shapers have made major blues. For example: "ANB has been great all year" "Hunt is superb by foot" "Jones has become a wonderful captain . . . " And on it goes.

Bradshaw is so quick I didn't even see him.

Jeez . . . would be pretty pizzed off as a Crow's supporter with this I recon . . . By way of background, we gave them pick 10 in 2017 . . . 10 Bryce Gibbs Carlton Adelaide Pick 10 [25] Pick 77 Pick 16 2018 second round pick (Carlton) Pick 73 2018 third round pick (Carlton) 2018 second round pick (Adelaide)

Is this our best ever against the Crows?

Um . . . West Coast and Richmond?

Meanwhile . . . over at the Crow's supporter site: Everyone has down weeks.josh Jenkins has one every week?I'm at the stage where I can only laugh at his selection each week. Potential doesn't win premierships Injuries are one thing but still it was 22 vs 22 there was no heart there whatsoever absolutely disgusting performance we should worry less about posting levers stats and which draft pick we are gonna get from Melbourne (re early this year) and worry about our own team Unfortunately into the first 4 minutes of the game you knew they would be thrashed. Looked like they hadn't slept all night and came out as if they weren't even trying. Just like the Grand Final. Very lethargic xx. Can't say it wasn't unexpected... end of day Melbourne are finally a seriously good footy side. We are average...clearly making up the numbers this year. If we were going to lose a game glad it was Melbourne love there coach Goodwin he was one of our own early days long way to go we will come back bad day at the office we all have them Make them [censored] walk home. No [censored] pride in this club any more. Looked like a training drill for Melbourne. Not a good day, I can't see Sloane and lynch staying either. I reckon their gone I shake my head every time I see Jenkins efforts The useless coach who had no Plan B and decided to just STARE at the players...?? Like Pykey, they can't read your mind mate. Nothing like dropping from 4th to 7th and losing almost 16% dishing up that ? It's 3 poor games. We need more Victorians. Playing with a B grade side and Melbourne had it's A side. Move on. Might as well support Melbourne enough of our players are with then Lever was the big winner today I have said all along that Pyke is a “B” grade version of Neil Craig. Doesn’t help that we have our reserves playing against a full strength Melbourne team. On the upside, looks like the stare is back in vogue. On ya Pykey, inspiring stuff. Premiership pretenders again Maybe a [censored] play on our behalf but [censored] the umpires are playing for Melbourne today.

Says who? Where's that rule written?

It's not form he's lacking!

Me and my friends call them 'Hypocrite Highway' (variation on Punt Road for Richmond, Arden Street for North).

excellent pounts. and there's sicily and daniher as well. shoot!

Glad you're not on our match committee.

Pretty close to the dumbest footballer going around.

RPC (Royal Parade Cheaters) turned him into a better footballer post Demons. Surrounded him with better players therefore limiting his deficiencies whilst maximising his strengths.

why does the league use a yellow footy when the seats are yellow? anyone else finding the ball hard to track against the background?

FWIW . . . the data tells us that the average time between severe abuse (e.g. sexual abuse) taking place and being reported is approximately 40 years. Severe abuse usually causes shame and guilt - even though the abused is in no way to blame for the abuse. However, deep feelings of shame, for example, debilitate people's lives to the point where they live in fear and experience horrible anxiety and low self-esteem. This often results in, among other things, an inability to discuss and disclose the abuse - and in some cases ends in suicide. Like others, I know only what has been reported of the Wilkinson matter. If it comes to pass that his case is substantiated, I really hope that the full force of the law is bought to bear on the abusers and their supporters.
