Eseendonâs Premiership pretensions being brutally exposed at Docklands by the schizophrenic Adelaide Crows, who are capable of beating anybody on their day.
Essendon got off to a 20-1 lead early doors.
Since that Adelaide have scored 69 points to Essendonâs 14. Itâs now 70-34 with five minutes left to half time.
They are going score crazy over the last 10 minutes.
The Crows will be top 4 next year.
Bombers doing what Limerick couldnât and have got five in a row!
73-67 seven minutes into Q3.
Some game this.
Contender for game of the season this.
Essendon 111 Adelaide 108. Crows with the last two goals.
03:17 to go.
Riccielli!!!
CROWS LEAD!!!
0:51 left!!!
CROWS WIN 115-113!!!
An epic, epic sporting contest. Bombers fans holding their heads in their hands. They led 111-96 with six minutes left.
Somebody please pick Adelaide coach Matty Nicks up off the floor.
A total disaster for Essendon youâd have to say. A win here would have put them back into 2nd place on the ladder, but they could now be out of the top 8 come the end of this weekend. All season theyâve been considered paper pretenders and now the paper is starting to crumple.
Christ Iâd love to live in Melbourne.
Collingwood this morning shipped a 133-67 loss to Hawthorn.
Goodbye Collingwood for this year, you wonât win another game
Side by Sidebottom you fall together, and youâre going down in flames
You have to admire the sheer Hawthornness of this Hawthorn team. Theyâre absolute cunts and I love it.
They went 0-5 at the start of the season and looked like wooden spooners in waiting. Now theyâre gallivanting towards the finals and they have Jack Ginnivan kissing the guernsey and winding up the Collingwood players and supporters at every chance he gets. Ginnivan played for Collingwood in the Grand Final last year!
Footscray follow up last weekâs win over Carlton by going to Geelong and winning. Theyâre 29 points up with nine minutes left and itâs in the bag for them.
Carlton looking very wobbly against Port Adelaide at the Marvel Dome. 2 point game in Carltonâs favour early last quarter. It was a 31 point game.
Cripps and Walsh need to stand up and start owning this.
And now Port lead by 4.
Dogshit performance by Carlton in a dogshit game. One goal so far in the second half. Jason Horne-Francis puts Port Adelaide 73-65 up with five minutes left.
Port Adelaide win 79-65. Tom De Koning as ruckman is an absolutely pivotal player for Carlton. They were going great guns until he got injured six or seven games into the season. Then he got injured and they started losing. Then he came back and they went on a winning run. Now heâs injured again and Carlton have lost three in a row. Heâs out for the rest of the home and away season but might be back for September. If they get there.
Port Adelaide have now won 11 out of 12 games at Colonial Stadium.
Eddie McGuire said during the week that Essendon wouldnât win another game this season. He might be right. St. Kilda are destroying them.
Eagles have turned up today so far anyway. Would be nice to put a dent in Freos finals push.
Saw a great highlight in the giants game, player going through straight on goal and Jessie Hogan running in front calling for the ball, gets in his way and blocks the shot. And they all blaming the player taking the shot. Hogan the greedy bastard wanting a goal put on a plate for him instead of doing the team thing and shepherding it through

Heâs a hungry hoor. 6 off Curnow for the Coleman and not shy about his greed.
Freo had a serious kick up the hole at half time. Battered the eagles this half
You can forget about Carlton, Collingwood and Essendon - well you can forget about Collingwood and Essendon anyway - here come Footscray and Hawthorn!
Footscray just demolished the Sydney Swans at the SCG. Hawthorn demolishing the dangerous Adelaide Crows in Adelaide.
Footscray ARE contenders to win the flag.
Collingwood v Carlton. We go again. Scott Pendlebury has just become the first ever Collingwood player to reach 400 games.
Port Adelaide v Sydney starting simultaneously at the Adelaide Oval. Two massive games in the destination of finals spots.
Collingwood MUST win today or theyâre done. They need to beat Carlton, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne to have a chance of making the eight. The tallest of orders.
Footscray are coming. Fourth win in a row for the Dogs last night as the gained revenge for the 2021 Grand Final by demolishing Melbourne, who have been done for year since Christian Petracca got injured.
What is going on at the Adelaide Oval?!?
Fucking hell.
Have Sydney been doing a second pre-season in recent weeks or something? They looked invincible five weeks ago and now they look like wooden spooners.
Frantic scenes at the G
Collingwood lead 84-81, theyâve let Carlton back in. Carlton can bury them now. 2 and a half minutes left.
