Unfortunately it doesn’t mean much.

Give them a good piece of my mind... And my glass (it’s what we do in Perth).

for f@#k sake. this is a massive blow. we cant move tom mcdonald back again. he is much better forward. tmac makes poor decisionsck. roll the dice and play t.smith or frost down back. either way,  i think finals will be hard to make and we lost the Adelaide deal after this.

This is perhaps the greatest overreaction I have ever read on here. We better pack up shop. Sitting second on the ladder and we lose one player and you reckon we are done for finals

Gee do you suffer panic attacks, it is not 1950's player get over ACL all the time, you dont judge the trade over 1or 2 seasons, his young he will be back next year, and do you think we won't win 5 more games without lever.


There's a doctor in this thread who is totally overreacting.  He should know the prognosis so this is extremely worrying to me.  He's even diagnosed the side with 'missthefinalitis' because of it.  We're doomed!

If ACL related usually means bad news.

Terrible news for Jake. I saw it live and the change in direction on a shifting surface is classic ACL. 

Unfortunately a risk of signing Jake was that he did another ACL. Hopefully he rehabs like the professional he is and ads some size and comes back bigger and better. Might be able to coach up his replacement as well.

Extremely poor form by them. Regardless of who you support, laughing at a young man who has suffered a serious injury and who will miss a year of an already short career means you are 100% a grub.

This makes me just as bad as them, but I really hope anyone who commented or even used a laughing emoji loses all of their worldly possessions in a house fire. 


At least he wont have to front up at Adelaide Oval against the Crows. Silver lining.

This self described Dr may well not be a medico: possibly a PhD in Social Science (subcategory over reacting) ?

Obviously Adelaide don't have a memory as long as mine.

The mongrels pinched Scott Thompson when he was just hitting his straps with us. No suggestions from them that he was a traitor for leaving us.

And I wonder what they think about Gibbs going to them from Carlton.

I’d set them up with a left jab and then punch through them with a straight right.

 

taking pleasure out of someone’s misfortune is the epitome of scum

The world is full of hysterical clowns and you are obviously just another one.

The word starts with F and ends with K, this word can be interpreted in many different ways. But in this case its just in complete disappointment.

Exactly. I bet they wouldn't say the same thing if it was Charlie cameron who also left. and what you would want to say to them is Lever wanted to come home just like Gibbs did, so do you have an issue with Gibbs playing for your club? No one wants to stay at Adelaide

Enter Joel Smith...

Fingers crossed for Jake.

Not adverse to Joel coming in at some point but is he tall enough to play a loose intercept role?  Pedo bear maybe.  Or is it time to blood Petty?

Weids worth a shot?  Might be the best move for him (us) if fit.

KC and Drunkn might have something to add here.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
