Is the fixture out yet?

Was hoping to read a bit about Sparrow’s game in the VFL match report. Nothing on him, not even named in the best.

Yep, Crows pulverised the Saints in clearances and made them pay. Membrey not so effective with a key back on him.

Hoping it’s more of this.

Good attendance though, a lot of red in the crowd.

Is there a strong wind out there? TIA

??? I hope you’re taking the Mickey, otherwise you are confusing me with someone else FD.

This will be the last post I read each and every night before sleep leading into the Hawthorn game.

Even with some over the top statements lately on here, tipping our team to win a game of footy sounds as ridiculous these days. No basis Sydee, just a gut feel.

Not sure about finals, but we will beat Hawthorn.

I understand your frustration along with other long suffering supporters od. The kid is only 10 and I won’t be highlighting our past failures to him. He’s been invested since 2014-15 and has seen more wins than losses or at worst an even ledger. For now, explaining to him that some teams are up the top and some down the bottom will have to do.

As sad as it sounds, you do start questioning whether you should be taking them to games for the rest of the year. The low point for me was half way through the third quarter against the Saints when I turned to my 10yr old son and saw him staring into space with watery eyes. It hit hard, yeah it’s only a game they say, but to some it’s more than that with the time and energy you invest into the footy club. I’d like to think he’s a tough little bugger and come to realise it’s part of the game unfortunately.

Personally, I’d bring Sparrow in, give the kid a few consecutive games and see how he goes. Misery continues, unfortunately Maynard isn’t the answer going forward. Maybe Jones back in the centre square now.

As long as he brings Jack Silvagni with him W’DEE. He’s out of contract at the end of the season.

When are they naming the team?

X 2 Luci. I’d rather spend the next two hours on DL looking for a laugh and some quality analysis.

Upon reflection, Lewis was decent I thought. From where I was sitting he spent a lot of time on Caddy which I thought was odd at the time. Caddy had no influence at all on the game.

Speaking of ANB and apologies if I missed it, he’s listed in the injuries ( hamstring). How bad is it? Also a tad harsh ^^^^ about the mouth thing.

71 inside 50s against? When was the last time we conceded anywhere near that? T Mac saw more ball tonight than he did the first 5 rounds.

Do you mean UEFA Europa League Wadda? That game is on Friday 3rd of May.

We were in the game half way through the third, I thought we were a sneaky chance to go the distance. Simply overwhelmed in the end, Tigers are not a highly skilled side but their pressure is unbelievable at times. Numerous times our players had more time than they thought they did and needlessly just put boot to ball resulting in turnovers. That’s what the Tigers do, perceived pressure. I’m not sure if it’s the way the game is coached, but often players bob up in good 5-10 minute patches then they just vanish into thin air for the rest of the game. As for our 2 tackles inside forward 50, pretty hard to lay a tackle in there when you keep kicking the ball to their loose defenders and it pinballs straight back out. Maxy, T Mac, Salem, Hore, Hibbo (The new Dustbuster maybe) probably our best I thought and Stretch was good too. One player that is struggling big time imo is Fritta, good against Sydney, two well below par performances since. As silly as it sounds I was a lot angrier after the Saints game. Maybe I have conceded. I think I started typing this 5 pages ago. Sorry, the Milkshake was good too.

T Mac and Frost walked out together, warmed up together for a while, walked back in together chatting the whole way. Backline Bros tonight?

Too easy @Macca Here’s my Midweeker, plenty of time on the train to find something decent hopefully. Netherlands Eredivisie at 04:45 Thursday NAC Breda v Feyenoord Winning Margin- Feyenoord by 2+ goals $2.15

Have we ever lost a game on a Wednesday?

It was a gutsy performance that night, simply ran out of legs after dominating for the first 3 quarters and should have been up by more than 20 at 3 quarter time. We also lost Spencer during the second quarter and Mr Watts was rucking again. Just make it tough again for them where they have to earn their goals all game. Toiges fans have become arrogant, want to see them shuffling in their chairs for as long as possible.
