That was disgusting. Only one team wanted to win that.

It’s like we’ve bet on Essendon today. Just hell-bent on losing it.

Maybe now we’ll start playing to win again.

Exactly.

We don’t want to win this game. We’re doing everything in our power to lose it.

Extraordinary how many chances we’ve blown.

Martin? He’s had 27 disposals in a half!

Game-high 5 intercept marks as of a few minutes ago.

Bombers fans want a free kick every time they touch us. Don’t they know that they only pay HTB about once in every 50 tackles these days? If there’s no prior opportunity and the ball spills loose in the tackle it’s NOT BEING PAID!

We’re getting a ridiculous amount of good looks.

We could have this game just about iced by now.

Yeah we blew multiple golden opportunities to kick goals when we had the momentum early.

We only do that when we’re for instance taking it in there quickly from a centre bounce. Otherwise pretty much our whole team have pushed way up the ground- like a basketball team running end-to-end- which creates a “Pagans Paddock” type situation, where the F50 is empty and everyone’s trying to...

As widely expected, Setterfield is a late out, for Harrison Jones. Subs Hind and Hastie.

Plenty of money for Edgerdon. In from $2.27 a couple of days ago to $2.08 now.

Would be pretty surprised if it’s low-scoring. Essendon have scored over 100 points in both their games this year, but have struggled to defend the ground, and as such can get scored against the other way. If that trend continues, it could be a pretty free-flowing shoot-out on the fast deck.

I’m just hoping Essendon try to rough up guys like Battle, Owens, Jones and Stocker.

Let us never speak of that game again.

Crows looking very likely to be 0-5 after R5.

Amazing that the highest scoring team of last season will have kicked just 23 goals from 3 games so far this year.

Rang the club a few days ago to find out what the go was and they said there will be GA seats available on the day, FWIW. For us with a Saints 16 game membership for instance they said we could just scan our ticket on the day at the gate.

Crows next two games: Dees in Adelaide Carlton in Melbourne Could very very easily start 0-5

While we have a chunk of our midfield stocks unavailable (Crouch, Clark and Dow), we aren’t afraid to tag (last week Seb kept De Goey to just 13 touches, while Windhager kept Daicos to minimal influence), so I think Merrett and Parish will have some very close company this week. And it sounds...

Pretty amazing that all 5 from last years draft will have had a taste of senior footy (preseason or AFL games) within our first 5 such games this year. I think Hastie is actually the closest to like-for-like for Wood. Not sure either Schoey or Garcia are suited to the wing, whereas Hastie...

Butts will likely be very underdone, like Sinclair was last week. Missed basically the whole preseason and had just 7 disposals in the VFL last week, in his first hitout of any kind 6 months. Ideally would be in the VFL for another week or two. It’s actually 7 if you include Caminiti (who was...

Interesting Essendon choosing not to replace Wright with a Caddy/Harrison Jones/Wiederman type like-for-like, and instead going with a smaller team, and us pulling a surprise by going with young Hastie, instead of Schoenmaker or Garcia (who both played in at least one of the preseason games)...

Dees also have about 8 best 23 types out I think. Yeah Shoenmaker would be a huge chance. Already seems too good for the VFL. Had about 8 intercept marks in the VFL practice match he played and then in their first proper match on the weekend he had 29 kicks and took 13 marks. Clubs must have...

I look forward to the carnage we’ll see if incentivising everyone to just leave themselves wide open if they’re about to be in an avoidable collision results in everyone just leaving themselves wide open at all times. I’m sure that will end well.
