Noise of affirmation 

How does the noise change what you see???

 

Petty having a blinder.

Oliver is everywhere.

Lever getting pushed under ball too easily

Must keep up the pressure

Big 3rd quarter coming

    What a total disgraceful umpiring performance. Welcome to 2021. 

    They are dropping the ball continually and then we are getting pinged for hold the man.

    Agree disgraceful. You can throw the ball if you are the home Adelaide team, but heaven help you if you handball quickly it’s a throw if you are the away team.

    Boys playing well atm, hopefully can go another half against 25.

    they have had a couple of shots at goals from their forwards and backs blatantly pushing our players in the back, when are they going to pay those frees?

    I’ve had enough of ANB. He is not up to Afl senior footy. I just don’t get it. Don’t wanna hear how hard he runs. Couldn’t give a [censored] about that. It’s not a track event!

    Agreed. Delist as he won't be worth anything. Be so happy to see the back of him

    16 to 9 frees against us.

    We were doing well and the umps stepped back in.

    But no slow start. 

    Mids are on.

    Anb needs to lift.

    Petty doing well.

     

    at least nibbles is where the ball is just a little fumbly tonight,nerves might get to him i think

    i like Ben Brown being in the side he is not getting a lot of the ball but is sucking up a lot of attention, that gives our other forwards a chance to get into the game.

    Why is it so hard to just have fair and balanced umpiring in SA?

    Its a very poor effort from these so called professionals.

    Felt sorry for May with that junk time free/goal on the siren.

    Umps have gifted port three goals.

    The worst , most biased umpiring I've ever seen was us v port in the last game at football park. This is a close second. I hate whinging about umpires but this is absolutely disgraceful.

    Big chance of a smashing here given how we run out games. Port will be getting told to lower their eyes though, if we adjust to that we should win this game comfortably

    100%. Brown is the one absorbing the 2 on 1. Which leaves our other players to compete.

    Perhaps you are too young to have seen Fitzroy's last game v Adelaide. Benchmark. 

    Go Dees

    FMD umpires ruining a good game. Oliver held massively

    gawn held in ruck contest. 
     

    when will I see what the umpires see

    Do you ever comment on anything other than the umpires? They have been incompetent, yes, but not solely to the benefit of Port.

    Can they just throw Harmes onto Boak for the second half? He's not done much, so may as well cancel Boak.

    I’m really proud of the intensity the boys showed in that half. They need to keep it up, but it’s the kind of intensity that really builds confidence.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
