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 am planning to go to Melbourne this year to watch Melbourne play at the G.

Any suggestions on what would be the best game to watch?

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

Robbo continues his fight with the AFL over the drugs issue in the Sun today.

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.

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

Well I don't know about you Redleg but I was barracking for the blues. Never really in it I am afraid.

Maybe it's you.

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:

If they haven't settled by now, that is one hell of a cup ... :lol:

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
