Our best player currently is probably the man in that picture above, Izak Rankine.

Now if he can just remain remain not injured and not suspended for large chunks of the season:

Why are the Crows dressed like Hawks?

It's our 2025 training kit - but yes, the yellow is a bit much:

We’re taking the kid to her first Bombers game today. It’s against your Crows, spenno.

Crows by 61, we left early 4th quarter. Still a fun day and great weather.

Glad you guys still had a good day out despite the result!

Whole family (including my parents) did Round 1 at home against St Kilda a few weeks ago, first game for my wife and youngest daughter. We had a blast.

Fair chance this bloke’s debut is cut short tonight with cramping.

Messy game but glad to see Essendon get up over Port, spike.

Wife’s going to today’s game at The G for work, so she decided to utilize our member tickets so the kid and I can go too (and not sit with her). :?

It’s pretty cold and the wind is picking up now, so I’m going to haul the kid out of there at halftime and head back home to warmth.

(For those who haven't seen it.)

Incredible stuff, amazing presence of mind from NWM and Marshall to set up and execute that play in the final seconds of the game.

Out of the Victorian teams, it's hard not to have a soft spot for the Saints.

Off to the Hawthorn Collingwood clash at the MCG tonight. Will be hanging out in MCC seats but no Long Room. Who wants to wear a suit to footy anyway?

Snoop Dogg will be the Grand Final pregame entertainer (since they don’t seem to do halftime anymore). Pretty rad.

Yet the AFL brings in known homophobe Snoop Dogg to headline the Grand Final entertainment.

Took the kid and one of her cousins to an AFLW game today; they loved it. Essendon pulled out a last minute win too!
