Round 1: the other games. Are we there yet? Yes; yes we are.

Apparently Matt Rowell has just suffered a knee injury over in Perth, not sure how bad. He's been subbed out of the game. Poor kid....

Hope its not serious after zero luck last year!

I've noticed in games so far, players deciding to take the advantage after their team have earnt a free or mark and putting themselves under immediate pressure. With the new man on the mark rule the advantage in most cases will be to stop and take the kick, as you will have more options to find attacking targets. Players will need to adjust and stop just blindly playing on as they've been previously drilled to do so.

I guess Adelaide are the new premierships favourites now.

Or Geelong are going to miss the finals. They will do so at some point.

Dangerfield could be suspended for headbutting.

And Hawkins could be suspended for buttheading.

Or is it just another case of nominative determinism? The Adelaide player involved is Jordan Butts.

Crows were down to one on the bench for most of the last quarter.....and had only two for most of the match.

Epic win for them.....which brings me to our game and our chances and I ask, why not?

[stevoswan]

Getting tight now....4 mins left, Crows by 10.

[Sandridge]

Cats right back in it just before 3/4QT.

[stevoswan]

I was hopeful that the Crows would be an easy kill next week. Not so!

My thinking as well.....not pushovers anymore.

[Markwebbos]

Dangerfield is definitely getting rubbed out for that.

Not really sure what Dangerfield thought he was going to achieve by that action. The ball was long gone (and gone long enough for Dangerfield to pull up).

Cats are coming off a bye...they always lose coming off a bye.

Perhaps someone should mention that to Chris Scott at his press conference? I'm sure he'll take it well.

No Brownlow for Dangerfield this year.

38 points down and there's a fair chance that Dangerfield will get a week or two, for knocking Kelly out with a late bump. It was a head clash, rather than a high shot, but still, it was unnecessary.

Key line in Tribunal guidelines:
"... head clashes that result when a Player has elected to bump are circumstances that can reasonably be foreseen. Players will ordinarily be liable if they elect to bump if not contesting the ball."

Danger in MRO trouble

2nd quarter just went for 39 minutes....and Taylor Walker just kicked his fourth goal after the siren. Crows up by 38 at half time!
