It's hard to find players to give votes to after that performance, but I'm surprised by the love for Hunter. I thought he had a stinker. He covered some ground but, to me at least, it seemed every disposal was either a turnover or he sold his teammates into trouble.

Was not.

Was so ... 6 major turn-overs delivering the ball. Perhaps more, as I was not really counting but recalling, after the game.

We were outworked, outmarked and outplayed by a team that had our measure and adapted to the conditions much better from the first bounce. Draper is going to be a nightmare when he really gets going.!!

Just a RUGBY Player tonight Chook IMO!

Viney was dreadful... Back to Viney of old!

I'm surprised to see how many people have lauded Viney's game. I thought he was part of the problem with his poor delivery. And the idea that he should get votes because of his effort astounds me. If that's how we award votes, Walking Civil War should get 6 every week. Oliver and Petracca were streets ahead of everybody else.

6.  Any dees supporter who travelled from interstate to watch the game live.  True dedication.  Love you.

5.  Any dees supporter who travelled from other regions of SA to watch the game live.  Amazing.

4.  Any dees supporter who travelled from within Adelaide to watch the game live.  Good stuff.

3.  Any dees supporter who watched the entire game on TV.  Good.  (That's me.  My mental health is suffering as a result)

2.  Any dees supporter who watched until 3/4 time on TV.  Meh

1.  Any dees supporter who switched off their TV earlier than 3/4 time.  Boo

From the director’s chair; 

Home and away is starting to look like a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde horror movie. Selections for Anzac eve will reflect Hammer Films Productions, after a no show matinee last Saturday afternoon. Be prepared for some old fashioned blood letting on the casting couch.

Adjudication;

Dons got some sure goals from the goal square, some justified other soft as Gil’s over buttered cold toast on Sunday morning .

Broadcasters;

Propaganda courtesy of the Scott brothers. Sticky fingers in everything. Nauseating.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
