Just heard Nigel Smart From Adelaide on SEN talking about them using the state jumper against Port in the first Adelaide oval game in round two.

Now I must declare Adelaide are the top of my dislike list.

What a pack of Self appointed "the SA team" big heads.

Give me a break guys you are not South Australia, you are a club of the AFL coming out of SA.

I am considering buying a Port membership.

I will be cheering on Port in round two.

We've been playing in the State guernsey for the years except for one slight variation - it's a red V and not a white one.

    I have never really liked Adelaide, possibly because of the 1998 finals series, but this arrogance of theirs takes the cake, scone and biscuit for mine ... I'll be cheering with you, OD.

    I love their Captain though.

    Hes a West Perth boy so he protected from me having anything bad to say against him.

    Depends on if you want the best chance of a win or you want to see how the best teams play?

    That was a surprise considering it is the anniversary of the Blackest day in Australian sport.

    There are a couple of good points in the article IMO.

    One year on there has been only one charge and that to a Canberra player.

    - No charges for either Essendon or Cronulla .

    - ASADA is an under resourced and an underwhelming organization.

    To me it beggars belief that one year on we have no charges.

    Sorry OD I don't understand what you mean?

    I head the word winning before but I don't remember what it actually means in terms of AFL games.

    With regards to the WAFL, it involves singing, enjoyment and finally a Premiership but non of these things every happen at the AFL level.

    I do know however, that the MFC mainly comes second so you could say its the second best team in the league.

    Well I do like games where my heat shows heart, determination, commitment, endeavor.

    Have seen that a fair bit from the teams we play.

    I will put it simply for you

    - Do you want to go to a game that the MFC have a reasonable chance of winning?

    or

    - would like to see a game where a team plays AFL at a high level?

    It will be hard to pick which 5 or 6 games we will win next season but I would give it a go.

    I pick winning OD

    Here is my list DF now remember I have only picked Games at the "G"

    Games we have a chance of winning

    May 10 - Bulldogs

    August 17 GWS

    Games to see a good side that will play AFL very well.

    April 26 - Swans

    June 22 - North

    July 12 - Cats

    I thought about Queens birthday but Airfares will be high, G will be packed with Pies, You will be so high in the top tier you will need your own oxygen and you don't want to see us get done by the Pies.

    Now watch everyone fall on me for those suggestions

    As OD said, it depends on your definition of "best". QB will almost certainly have the biggest crowd, and there is certainly something in hearing a big roar (and even better the silence if we finally manage to knock off the Pies on the big day :lol: ).

    There is also something to be said for sitting near the fence when the crowd is small, and hearing what the players say to each other when the play is nearby.

    For probability of winning, then the only standout for me is the Giants game late in the season. I suspect, though, if we beat the Eagles in round 2, you will wish that you were there then ... :lol:

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
