It's taken till half way through the 3rd quarter before they finally delivered a proper ball to one of their forwards.

Serves Adelaide right. I always thought it was the wrong thing to do when the slacked off in Round 23.  Karma.

The premiership was there for the taking this season, the most even ever. Richmond took their chances, which is more than can be said for our club.  They deserve the flag.

It shouldn’t be deliberate when the opposition can actually grab the ball before it goes out

It took a few weeks but this could be the karma for throwing the round 23 game. 

The way they are playing today, I don't think they thew it.  Tex has done nothing, just like 3/4 of the rest of their side.  Adelaide would have to be one of the flakiest minor premiours in a number of years.

This would have to be the most insipid performance by a team that dominated a season that i have ever seen. Not even giving a yelp. And if anyone thinks that Lever is worth even one first round pick then you have got rocks in your head. 

Agree with the first part.

But Lever is the only defender that's been half decent under pressure. Not perfect, but half-decent. Their other defenders are an absolute rabble.

This could start to get real ugly.

Tigers have played Grand Final footy; high pressure, contested. They've made mistakes but any time they have they've jumped straight back into the contest and won it back. 

Tigers are still definitely getting the rub of the umps but they've been in the contests for longer and that usually is rewarded.

I've been waiting all game to see some sort of game plan from Adelaide. Might get to see it in the last Q when Richmond is 50pts up and doing laps of honour... but geez. They have put in a shocker. No plan, no forward line, no idea.

No way does Martin get the Norm Smith medal. Houli by a mile. 

The Crows just so fumbly and overawed. I don't get the unrating of Lever. For the most part he has been onenof their better players.

Crows gone unless Tex steps up.

They've been poor up forward.

Expect it of Jenkins, I don't really rate him...watch him win them the game now that I've said that.

...but seriously he plays like a rover in a big mans body. Looking for the crumbs.

Nup, I was right the first time.

Leave him off the last Q, he's a total liability on the ground.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
