You are correct Bandi, we have played there 8 times, but the first was 2006 - against Adelaide, they won by 5 points.

 

It was at Carrara QLD, we haven't played Adealaide in Darwin.

Don't worry about a six day break just had a 9 day break, with heaps of changes 

Bit different when you fly 3000kms.

Hope Gawn can get back to his best this weekend as too Garlett.

Just Kennedy for Kent to maintain vitamin K levels. Just got my brotherinlaw back from the grave.

Watt and Tyson sound underdone for a trip away against a pushy team such as Adelaide.  Hogan and Gawn were already too sluggish.

Kent was generally unable to gather the ball when leading in the chase and misdirected quite a few handpasses.  He was hard at the ball nearby but didn't move around much.  Perhaps he needs to lose 3 or 4 kilograms.

Stretch was OK and did his job.

Couldn't have said it better, someone else said he looks scared to make a mistake, which is also true as this could be his last chance, he's 23 and should be about to hit the prime of his career and he's still in and out of the team, and being passed by more players every year

I hope you are right, but I think the evidence thus far of the respective situations was that we were able to more effectively replace and work around the absence of Gawn and Hogan than we were our or midfield A team last week against Carlton.

Just to emphasise this, against Carlton last week, we lost the clearances to the team which is currently 18th in clearances in the league, after the lost probably their best clearance player (Cripps) for over half a game.

Clearly  (pardon the pun) an area we need to address against the Crows who are 5th for clearances (BTW we are 6th).

Unfortunately I emailed them and they said it's not being shown.

Guess I'll just follow the scores online and watch the replay when I get back to the hotel at night, assuming it's worth watching.

Dont follow the scores and then watch the replay 'as lice' when you have the opprtunity for 2.5 hours unierrupted viewing. The next best thing to watching it live. Almist exactly the same emotional response. Trick is to avoid the scores. Should be easy os.

A few years ago i couldnt watch a game v tigers live on the sat. Couldnt watch the replay until tues morning at 5:30 before work. Complete media blacjout required and if i spoke to any mates tge first thing i said was to not mention tge footy

Ageee. On watching the replay he featured in some good chains of disposal that resulted in scores. Poor old Hoges has got some grief but he set up 2 goals as well as the one he missed. I thought he was ok.

^ Of course Jack won't play against Port Adelaide. He had an operation to repair his Plantar Fascia which had to be fully torn in order for it to repair and heal fully.

He is yet to start walking. WALKING. 

The Port game is in 10 days. 

Jack is keen to play asap, obviously. And when asked a silly question by Burgan, he is going to give a silly answer. Why Matt Burgan would then quote Jack's silly words to use in a headline and article that then gives Ben Guthrie fuel to fill the AFL website with more [censored] filler is sooooooo boring. 

Most obviously he is not going to play, even if he says "I'm going to try and get up for the Port Adelaide game". 

It's amazing what can be written about these days.
