Toast Round 10 = Collingwood 78-68 Adelaide

One thing I didn't mention on the weekend that I found really strange

I've watched plenty of Adelaide and they've always played fair and have been a really good side.

Which made it really really bizarre to me to see all their players ducking into every tackle that came their way and even more infuriating was the umpires falling for it and paying 7 of them.

Hoskin-Elliott's goal at the end was the moment I just assumed it was instructed at a coaching level. When the Crows player held his head "in pain" despite being tackled around the waist.

It really stood out because they never normally do that like Geelong, Hawthorn, Carlton and Brisbane do.

Noticed that too. Now you can blame poor tackling for some of them but not all. I’m not sure what the record for head high frees for a single team in a game is, but they must have come close. When Pendles exaggeratedly played for one and got it, I couldn’t helped but think he was making a point and reacting to the game so far.

Yep

I yelled out "Finally, we ducked for a free and got one!"

Pendles was 100% sending a message
 
Where is any evidence of older players performing worse later in the season. This whole narrative is driven by dickheads that hate us
I reckon being old at the end of the year helps us and not hinders us. All our old players are still jets and they have experience. That’s a pretty big thing.

I mentioned to my kids at the game that the Crow players were scuttling in like crabs at every stoppage.

When they pick up the ball they just keeping moving towards the tackler with their heads down.
 
Watching the replay, end of first quarter. God help us when Howe retires.☹️

He rose in the absence of Moore and was outstanding last week.

Each week that we get to support this team with its current line-up and coach is a gift. :blueheart:

Had 2 of my best friends over yesterday. One is a Richmond fan, the other follows Carlton. Have been close since year 9.

Asked them what sports they're into these days given that AFL wouldn't be much fun for them.

Extremely late to post this but i just watched Fly's post match presser and just the way he was able to keep composed all day, get a huge win and then basically turned all his thoughts and emotions to the Selwood family makes me more proud and love him even more than i did. A wonderful human that is also an assassin in the coaches box

Some Dads teach their kids about compounding interest

Others about crabs

He's doing nothing more than waiting for our next loss ([\b]probably Hawthorn[\b]) so he can chime in with "SEE I TOLD YOU THEY'RE OLD AND SLOW" lol

How can you possibly think that we are probably going to lose to Hawkscum, the most repulsive, degraded, grotesque team in the competition?

Losing to Hawkscum is a nightmare which i don't feel i necessarily have to live through.

We will beat these a**holes, and I can't wait to see the look on Mitchell's face when he tries to single out the deficiencies of his players rather than acknowledging the strength of the opposition.

Sure he'll go into the interview ready to deploy his knees. 🤣

Hope you're right

It’s no wonder the boys love him.

**** yeah im ready to run through a brick wall with this pump up. **** Hawthorn im back on board and Ginni and Wiz can expect a Maynard welcome hopefully. I reckon Wizard would be someone Bruzzy would love to have to deliver flowers to after a game

...don't wish any harm to the Wizard or Ginnivan...just that one's magic wand gets smashed into a million pathetic little shards, and that Ginnivan's gaggle of ducks squawk helplessly as they get their wings clipped.

Told one of my siblings "I love Craig McRae" - she replied "not as much as I do" 😄

There are grades of hate - Melbourne are pathetic tossers, Carlton are arrogant jerks - as are Geelong - Sydney are quite annoying


Hawthorn - well.. they exceed the boundaries of hate by an intergalactic amount - they are beyond horribly detestable in every respect - poo and pee are their best features
