Interesting that Oliver had more kicks than handpasses this week, he may have done this before but first time I have noticed it.

I like all the lads who have followed me wearing number 11?

Stuff doing it for Roosy.

Do it for the members, 10 years since finals, yet we still are able to break membership records.

This team might just be starting to take pride in the mighty red and blue jumper, and not a moment too soon either.

Agreed. But the man who made that happen is Paul Roos

He doesn't count. Was never deserving of #11.

I'm watching the replay and I'm convinced that the rivalry between Adelaide and Port Adeliade is completely fake the way Mark Ricciuto fawns over the Port Adelaide players.

Also, full marks to the Melbourne supporter who was cheering right near the Foxtel mic throughout the game.  Loved every minute of it.

It's like Australia vs New Zealand. We heap shite on each other; but if anyone invaded we'd be at each other's backs in a second. Roo is an SA man first and foremost; it would take a lot for him to go against that.

The "woohoo" when Pedersen bumped Impey was great.

I remember hearing that and thinking it was Ricciuto at first, then realised there was no chance as he was actively rooting for Port to win.

I was hoping it was you mate!

I was on the other side of the ground.

As I mentioned before, Ricciuto was supporting Port from the first half of the replay I've watched so far.

When we were 8 goals to 1 up you could just see Roo and Brereton begging and hoping for them to come back.  Derwayne is just as bad when he commentates our game, a comeback would be 'massive' in his books.

If Dwayne was commentating last night that would have been the "Richmond" of commentating teams.

Bugg has been a revelation the last 2 weeks - a tagger who likes a goal ala Ryan Crowley

Why not? I've heard they're a barrel of laughs.

OK, I haven't read the thread yet and I only watched on a tablet, but my thoughts so far go thusly:

Oliver's goal was just awesome.  To think that he's still in his first year, the kid's ceiling is just insanely high.  This is a first year midfielder who ran back into the face of the pack, crashed through them,  brought the ball down on his side and had enough balance and poise to get a boot on it and score the goal.  There are plenty of KPFs who couldn't have done that. 

OMac's one-handed mark was a thing of beauty.  They had him right where they wanted him, his right arm was being held and a crumber was waiting for the ball to spill in exactly the right spot.  This is a KPD in his second year holding his ground and calmly reeling it in one-handed. 

I'm not at all worried about Hogan's antics right now.  There have been plenty of high quality forwards who started their careers with questions being asked about their attitude and body language.  Jack Reiwoldt comes to mind.  My big concern is whether he will ever get that kick sorted out.  Is he going to be a Trav Cloke or a Wayne Carey? 

I am so damn excited about next year with this group of amazing kids coming through together.

The boss is from SA so we thought it only fitting to call him "barrels". Took him 2 weeks of a few of us calling him that to ask us why... Not sure he is sold on it, but it has stuck. 

Was watching the replay last night and caught the interview with Max Gawn at half time. It was heartening to hear how much praise he had for Goodwin and McCartney, relieves some of the angst about the handover as well as about McCartney considering the fallout he had with some of the senior players at the Dogs.

From Da Nang I listen to 5 AA.

One commentator - suggested remedy for their predicament was maybe "Trade out an Ollie Wines" for draft picks. 

Not that we have any.
