Not even close, we doubled the winning margin!

I haven't seen Collingwood look so completely lost as they did in that 3rd quarter. Couldn’t even posses the ball to slow the game.

The boys always fight to the end, but they mentally drift out of games far too easily. Thank goodness we don't have Port in Adelaide next week.

All sides go thru slumps during a season, most do, and I reckon we have been in one for about three weeks, just look bit jaded. Time to freshen up the team say, bring in Jack, Bianco, maybe Carmichael, Frampton, and rest some of our tired players, managed they call it, dont they ?

Keays should get 2 weeks for ripping Cox's glasses off. Its a vital part of his playing equipment and was just not warranted. Unsportsman like conduct at least

Because he is one of the premier forwards in the comp, a true professional and a gun.

The attitude at the selection table seems to be 'you can play as well as you like in the VFL' but you won't get a AFL game

Some people here are seriously underestimating how good the Crows are and how good that win was. Yes at half time we were all thinking how far? But the Crows outplayed us at our own game and we were good enough to come back and win. Oleg Markov was flawless today and his last 2 mins saved the game. Johnny Noble often butchers a few but his desperation in the last few minutes also saved us. Massive win. No team plays as a team more than we do.

Adelaide gave their very best. We gave about 3/4's of ours and we still won. Some concerns, and some tinkering with the structure in the forward line is needed. I think bomb kicks out of the back line aren't a high percentage option. I hope Maynard and Isaac are okay.

Good win Magpies!

High time both Bianco an Carmichael came in, freshen us up a bit now.

Oleg is a favourite of mine. He is a 100 percenter and we always need that sort of player.

Of course, I love our fighting spirit ...... it's unbelievable.

Plus he has a 19th Century moustache, very cool dude.

I'd rather see McCreary as a starter myself. Bianco and Carmichael - are they like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern?

Happy to tick this off with a win with a Houdini performance #21 but at this point I am waiting to see premiership calibre footy.

Now, I know that Winter is not the time to be playing your best but I would just like to see us take a 27 point half-time lead on the MCG against an interstate team sitting in 8th and turn it into a decent win. Not occasionally but all season long. Make the MCG our fortress. What are we doing in the change rooms at half time most weeks? Seems like we are all toking on a huge reefer coming out dazed and confused.

We nearly spilt the coffee in this one, would have been extremely embarrassing.
