North won't lose to the dogs now, they are stuffed with their injuries. Ruins our hopes.

lulz Crowey getting told off by Meredith for being a sook

Apparently Mitch Wallis was still in the rooms screaming uncontrollably in agony as they were getting him ready for the ambulance when the rest of the players came back to the rooms

Despite being a Crows player I'll concede that Walker is a quality forward that has played some great footy in recent years, but hes not in the same post code as Carey.

Did someone really say he was his equal?

Nothing better than listening to talkback after a Crows loss, quite an experience..

Poor bugger... he was sucking the green stick when he was being wheeled off.

Feel for Wallis

Crows have been really good this year. They've had a few close-ish games in recent weeks against poor opposition which has maybe masked the fact they might be starting to feel the effects of going full bore from round one and actually looked pretty poor tonight at times. As has been the case with us this year they need all their best players firing because, as good as their second tier has been, the side falls away when the big guns don't fire, and they went missing big time tonight. A club's depth is only as good as the A-Graders make them look, and Geelong's A-Graders did tonight what the Crows' couldn't.

Hawthorn supporter calls in, says Adelaide struggle in Melbourne, Crowey melts. Fantastic radio.

"Dicknose"

 

[OneGreatClub]

Lots of infighting on AA. Wow. Crowey is much more rational when Port lose.

I can tell you from experience that when you snap both bones in your lower leg like that, every breath, every muscle movement feels like the ends of the broken bones are grating together and it is incredibly painful

Just like us, when their SANFL team is struggling, the AFL side is struggling too. I think they went too hard early and have hit a flat patch but they can come back (like we did in '14).

Nah, just a few niggles.

It'd be like saying Mark Tylor is the equal of Jason Dunstall lel

There's a lot of myths out there about depth. The truth is that most clubs have a fairly similar quality of raw talent or "depth", their ability to get the job done just happens to be linked to the quality of top end talent at the club and of course coaching/development. I'd say Geelong's young talent is pretty bloody average but they looked like millionaires tonight. Hawthorn's up and coming talent will start to look pretty average soon enough when they lose the security of Hodge, Mitchell, Lewis etc too.
