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.

Another  goalfest at marvelous Marvel.

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

Yep, meanwhile Eagles are on 53 points half way through the second in rain.

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.

Yes, amazing isn’t it. So what was 6-6-6 supposed to achieve? 

Geez Gablett is a whinier ... throw the ball, then his team mate kicked it away.

Why not 50 as per regulations?

Edited by monoccular


OMG Trengove kicked into Hawkins man on the mark - goal.

Clanger +++

But a great win over the arrogant Cats.

Freo very Melbournesqe tonight. 49 to 35 inside fifties and  yet trail by 65 points.

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: 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?
