Game Day: Adelaide v Melbourne

[Cards13 9,117]

i just woke up after fainting after hearing them say that.

Keep the stack hat on Red, there is more awesome lines to come I'm sure!!

[Demon_Tingles 211]

I am liking this game. Sounds like our skills are a lot better than Adelaides and we seem hungrier for the ball. I LIKE IT ...

Side Note ; These commentators are absolutely ridiculous

[Demon_Tingles 211]

If they keep talking up Adelaide I am going to get annoyed. Show credit where credit is due.

[Demon_Tingles 211]

Adelaide's lack of depth .. pfft what a load of crap we have less players out sure but they are out best players arguably. what a load of rubbish

[stranga 328]

Bock, burton, van berlo, vince, knights porplyzia, maric all out. They are missing a few to be fair, but we have just as many critical players out.

Don't let it get to you Tingles they will get worse if the Crows don't improve after half time.. They are locals so they will be talking more about the Crows

[The Big Ticket 94]

They all sound absolutely gutted hahaha

[Jack7 528]

Yes,they're biased but no more than Lane & Walls when Carlton plays.They are actually giving some of our guys a huge wrap.

Let's keep this thread footy related only.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

To truly disrespect your opponent, you must know something about him. These guys are so typically parochial.

There's no point in anyone making excuses, claiming we'd be biased too...

What they're doing is so far below par it's not funny. Is this the best Adelaide can do in terms of national commentators (in a national, albeit practice match)?

I don't mind focussing on Adelaide players, it's an Adelaide station, and probably mostly Adelaide listeners, that's fine. But when you pass comment on a different side you have to do more than look at the team sheet in front of you.

Fair go. We're just your average footy fans, and we'd do a better job of naming and talking about Adelaide players than they do Melbourne players.

And on top of that, it's inane babble. Adelaide has a young side in? WTF?!!!

[Demon_Tingles 211]

You know what I cant stand Eddie McGuire but I would rather listen to that goose commentating Collingwood then these idiots. Supply has been crap. Gee cause apparently our players havent stopped anything. MORONS !!

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,294]

Poor old Belly can`t take a trick. May be a premature call, but his career may be over. Assuming it`s a complete dislocation,by the time he is fit to play again he will struggle to get in the side barring injury to other players.

If Jurrah is out for 3 months, stocks are severely depleted in our forwardline. Watts may have to be fast tracked!

Newton... Well he`s on the rookie list but he would probably have been promoted if LJ goes LTI. Has a shoulder injury been confirmed for him yet??

It's weird. WHen was the last time we outskilled the Crows in a quarter of football? I can't think of a time... Even when we were good.

[Demon_Tingles 211]

True they are giving some of our players a wrap but god how hard is it to get names right. Anyway We are clearly playing the better football. Warnock is the key for mine. If he can keep Tippet out of it we win simple. They do not have another forward today in the wet. Walker maybe but Frawley is ripping him a new one.

[Demon_Tingles 211]

HAHA are we over reacting ... YESS YOU ARE YOU TOOLS haha call of the day

[1858 285]

Can't these ****heads take a breath?

True DD, what year did we loose to them in the finals at the G? We played two of the best qtrs of footy I can recall with Trapper and Yze on fire but the other two qtrs we were really poor and we lost... That would be the last time I can recall.

I'm not trying to make excuses. I mean they are typical of South Australians to be so parochial. They're always sub-par. I lived in the dump for a few years, and listening to the footy on the radio was as unbearable as it is today. Add to that the fact that we didn't beat Adelaide in Adelaide for my entire stay. They'd always have Risciutto (cashed up bogan that he is) as a guest commentator, and he never made any attempt to hide his contempt for our team. The Crows could go from "how will we win a game this year at all" in one week, to "who could possibly beat us this year" the next.
