There's no way what you've said could be considered offensive. In fact I'd claim the drugs defence if I'd recruited Charlie Dixon.
If they weren't on drugs, or at the very least heavily intoxicated, what were they thinking?
Tell you what you don't go on to play 200 AFL games without learning a thing or two about mind games, look at Dougy here, knowing they're going up to the Gold Coast to face former teammate Jarryd Lyons and knowing Jarryd very well he knew exactly how to get into his head this week...
Now that's 200 game club champion commitment right there.

Cameron must have had a big night with his missus Friday night...Tell you what you don't go on to play 200 AFL games without learning a thing or two about mind games, look at Dougy here, knowing they're going up to the Gold Coast to face former teammate Jarryd Lyons and knowing Jarryd very well he knew exactly how to get into his head this week...

In fact, this pic needs to go in the meme thread.
Honestly how bloody amazing is Eddie Betts highlights reel!!
I think we'll get up, Brown on matera and the glove Talia to give (the not real) Tom Lynch a bath
In fact if you could bet on (the real) Tom Lynch to kick more goals than (the not real) Tom Lynch I probably would.

No Stephen May, Rory Thompson or Pearce Hanley for the Suns (all ruled out already), plus Barlow and Swallow in doubt. Looks like it could be a long day for the Suns.
That backline, in particular is looking a little on the short side.

Funnily, after being totally confident in the past 3 matches, this is one that worries me. Or worried me...before I learnt that May was out, Thompson and Swallow (have we forgotten what an absolute gun this bloke is?!) in doubt. The amount of talent that this side loses to defections and injuries is mind boggling. But a couple of good wins and a side that relies entirely on confidence, we need to get out early. These blokes are front runners, if ever there was a team. They play fast, skillful football but fall apart quicker than the Power when the going gets tough (and that's saying something).
Almost the best tall defender in the game vs. almost the best tall forward (still Rance v Kennedy by a pinch, not counting Franklin who plays more like a mid size forward than a tall) will be a ding dong battle. Watch Curtly shut down the corridor and stoppage space of Ablett, as he has been doing to opposition gun mids this year, totally missed by most of the nuffties (is that how you spell nuffties?)
If Crouch does come in, hope to see Mackay make way but that hope has lay dormant (bar a brief period) for many years now. This is the kind of game that Milera could break out and get that shot of confidence he needs to catapult him into form. Must play.
Actually really look forward to it, both teams play a fun brand of footy. We're the form team of the comp now and teams will come out gunning for us every week. If we let them get on a roll, their talent will cause us problems on their home deck. Think it will be a bloody good game where we're generally in control but it's tight, then a brief period where we blow them out of the water.
Go Crows. 48 points.

After seeing pics of the meter maids I might go up for the game. Can't gaurantee I'll make it out of the car park though.

Sounds like Barlow should get up, but Swallow I gather still has problems with his ankle... but It's their lack of KPD's that we should be able to exploit.

Which is kind of amusing considering we're missing a KPF and a 3rd tall in our attack.
Imagine the problems they'd have if we had a Jenkins and McGovern fit this week.
No point promoting him if you're not going to play him.
We needed to promote him to put him on the emergency list

Going to this game, looking forward to it. First Crows interstate game since Carlton Round 22 2009, hopefully a similar result (if someone could take a hanger like Birdman's that would also be appreciated).
Actually that Carlton game was rather like last week...give up a big score but who cares, still win by 12 goals.

I don't know, so far this season seems more like a re-enactment of 2006 during the club's golden age under the guidance of Robert Shaw. I can't actually remember how the rest of that season panned out after winning the first 4, but I'm sure it must have been OK.
1996 was Robert Shaw. 2006 was Neil Craig.
Yeah, that's what I meant. 1996. I just don't like to acknowledge that it was that long ago because it means that I am bloody old

Seems a natural fit for the Gold Coast.
