    Why didn't you do a global word replace,  Brisbane<-Melbourne, Hodge<-Lewis, Fages<-Goody, Neale<-May, Lyons<-KK...

    I’m happy the hype has shifted towards team performance and away from our next draft pick,

    Footy is footy. It will talk for itself.

    Expectations ? Well, surely they're high and not without merit.

    Personally...no flag this year or next....I'd be devastated!!! ?????

    In reality... disappointed. It's about as palpable as ever

    Go Dees

    Perhaps you are not familiar with some of DV8's finer work...

    For more information, see his thread on Don Pyke's death stare and how he could alleviate his stress by, and I paraphrase here, 'smoking a few cones'.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
