Adelaide is such a B-grade city and TV market

How is the boundary rider...!?!

Was my next-door neighbour when I was in high school playing footy. Absolute top bloke.*

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

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

    Oh I still remember that. That was a dark day in Australian Rules.

    They have been incompetent, yes, but not solely to the benefit of Port.

    Yep. They've been poor in general. Both sides copping the short end of the stick.

    If we win, the winning margin will be worth double of what it is purely because we’re not only playing another team, we’re playing against the deplorable umpiring as well.

    ANB and Harmes very disappointing

    AnB having a nightmare of a game. He is literally a detriment right now.

    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.

    Agree whole heartedly.

    but just to be fair, 13 guys in the team (not including medi sub) have had the ball less than BB 

    Oliver on track for forty touches? with 20 already.

    And his first halves tend to be slower.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    I don't mind the booing because it means we have the ball. 

    Ugh I was saying no late goals before the siren. 

    Petty magnificent so bar. His ball use has been great. 

    Trac had a great 1st half. 

    Pickett getting into the game. yeah that last 50 was there. If alir had touched it the ump would have said play on. No different ot eh fritta one. 

    I like what Ben Brown is doing. He's providing a contest and taking ports best backman from the others. 

    We are playing so much better than last week. We aren't over handpassing it and playing on at all costs. Love it. 

    Come on dees keep it going.

    Great start.

    Port are getting very few clean looks. 

    BBB has yet to hit the scoreboard, but he’s undoubtedly straightened us up. If he can jag one or two, he can say he’s done his job.

    Clearances have improved out of sight.

    I hope Ed has gleaned what our mindset is. If we go in knowing our foot is on the neck and it’s time to move in for the kill, we should win.

    Would like more from Fritta, ANB, Viney and Harmes

    Yes our stars are playing well but let's help them out a bit 

    Would like less from Harmes. Every time he touches the footy it ends up in Port Adelaide hands. Reverse King Midas.

    Really want to see Oliver kick 2 or 3 goals in 2nd half. Nothing better than an A grade mid who hits the scoreboard

    Good thing his only had 3 touches.
     

    Not even half as many as Ben Brown

    I’m usually reluctant to bag the umpires. I rarely do it. But this is off the charts terrible umpiring. 

    The connection between Gawn , Trac and Clarry is good tonight and Brown balances out the forward line much better.

    We also started better this week and those were the three things we wanted to improve on.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
