Adelaide kicked themselves out of the game in the first half with 4.11

Second half scores Port 9.9 vs Adel 0.2.  A shellacking.

Gee, we bemoan the lack of on-field leadership of our captains but at least they put their bodies on the line and go for it.  Tex shows neither leadership nor courage.  Would have to be the worst AFL captain.

    He bobs up occasionally when I’m watching porn Luci ( Which is fairly frequently TBH )

    Where the AFL want them.

    Hasn't the AFL bent over backwards to push the druggies redemption story. Started off with an incredibly soft draw and, being a conspiracy theorist, I'm bemused by the free kicks they receive weekly when looking out of a contest. I'm sure someone will suggest I'm being paranoid and they would be right.

    They actually wouldn’t give a stuff, provided the sponsors pay them big bucks so that they can get paid big bucks. 

    It is no longer a game for the people: it is a business money game for the likes of Gillon. 

    I agree completely. 

    I just needed to vent!!!!

    Money talks, plus several Bummers fans on the Commission.

    Thanks Clintosaurus. I did forget about that. Started with Spotless Catering and the old Ron Evans connection.

    Things I'm not looking forward to -

    Gold Coast in Round 23, playing the Giants who will not want to flirt with form at all going into the finals.

    I've seen enough of the Giants to know that once they get a roll on, they wont take it easy the way Richmond did.

    The 186 line is facing very credible threat.

    I said to a Crows mate at the end of 2017 season, they have a 2 year window to win a flag. 

    They are well and truely cooked, they will be down there for a very long time.

    12 games at Adelaide Oval will help them remain mid-table for a long time

    6-13 is their sweet spot

    Yeah mid table not challenging, midas well be bottom, but they don't bottom out the crows. Won't be challenging for a very long time.

    Are the wheels falling off at Pie-land? 

    An undisciplined lot:  Stephenson bets on himself and his team.  Beams reportedly deep into gambling problems.  Now De Goey is fined for using-phone-while-driving.  Their is talk of unrest among young players over the club treatment of Stephenson.  Coach is frazzled.  Players look disinterested. 

    Suspect their poor recent form is much more than a few injured good players. 

    It will be bitter sweet if their season implodes:  Sweet that they fall.  Bitter that ours is worse.

    It would be amusing should they completely fall away Luci and miss the 8 like some of their supporters are fearing. Then it’s a case of “see ya Round 1 next year Stevo”.

    Their remaining games are tough with the exception of Suns and they have us of course. Look at their draw and you can maybe pencil in just two more wins. Hope it comes down to their R23 game against the Dons for a top 8 spot. Yuk, which team would we cheer on?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
