Game Day: Adelaide v Melbourne 


Chelly

Recommended Posts

Scully 18 touches, Trengove 22 and McDonald 23.

Good reading.

And now they're saying Bell popped his shoulder and Jurrah broke his arm. What the hell is going on over there?

For listeners in Melbourne:

The Dees trail by just 3 points at 3 quarter time. A slow start, probably partly due to arriving late to the ground after an unexpectedly protracted plane flight (massive head wind nearly doubling the time for the flight). After a disappointing first 10 minutes where the Crows put on 3 goals to zip, our neonatal midfield missing Moloney, Davey, Sylvia and Morton, started to get on top. Just a quick reminder about this young midfield - Grimes - 12 AFL games, Scully - zero AFL games, Trengove - zero AFL games, Gysberts - zero AFL games. Melbourne kicked the next 5 or 6 goals and dominated an Adelaide side which while depleted, were probably not as depleted as we were. Not to forget that we lost the services of Jurrah and Bell with shoulder/arm injuries. Adelaide then had a period of the game through the third quarter where they got on top and clawed their way back into the game, and then into the lead. A late goal by Petterd put the Dees back into e contention. Overall, a great effort by a baby Dees side, and an exciting quarter to come. Scully 16 touches. Trengove 21 touches. Petterd 3 or 4 goals?

For listeners in Adelaide:

The inevitable is coming. Our extremely undermanned side led by superman a.k.a. Kurt 'Just the tip" Tippet are about to overpower this shizen Melbourne outfit who were smashed by Richmond last week and who have made the finals once in the last ten years. A Melbourne defender has played well, but the most evident thing is that all of Melbourne's ex-South Australians are dominating, but not as much as our boys who have stayed at home.

Update - Bell dislocated shoulder. Jurrah - broken bone in forearm.

bartram got slung to the ground and landed on his shoulder, the fool found it very amusing.

Thanks for that. not sure where I was.

6-12 for jurrah, broken forearm

jurrah has broken his arm, according to a melbourne official.

Shattering..

Rudeboy (who's proven his legitimacy) has just mentioned that he spoke to Liam, who said it's a popped shoulder.

I'm thinking either chinese whispers got the wires crossed and they got the diagnoses backwards, or the commentators are just woefully incompetent. I'm going to go with the latter.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
