For anyone visiting Adelaide for the weekend I can recommend Morphettville races tomorrow. Race 1 is midday. you can usually sneak in for free. 

the Schnitzels are as big and hard as a frisbee. i enjoyed it so much, it came up constantly for the rest of the day

    It's been so bloody cold  here  DD the shiraz was freezing.

    The world can be cruel sometimes Uncle

    I'm cracking an Angostura 7 year rum tonight which survived a duty free stampede at Port Vila.  Some weren't so lucky and saw their stash get smashed on the way out!  The lengths ppl will go to for cheap booze.  Of course i just happened to be passing by and errr... well.

    Regardless i will raise my first glass to the restoration of all things good at the Manor, a speedy recovery to my old mum (who's recovering from a bout of the dreaded lurgy at the old Freemasons) and a win for our Mighty Demons.

    north, meth coke were easy kills, and they snuck over the line vs the other three

    footscray win the best of that lot and from memory it was their key forwards - two of whom are missing this evening - that were particularly damaging

    I hear you.

    But from that batch, we have both beaten North and WC. So that evens out.

    But they have beaten the Bombers (who smashed us) and the Saints who were travelling very well at that point (a narrow loss to the Pies and a win over the blues in the preceding two games). A sneaky win or not, a win is a win, and Port won all of those games. 

    As I said, I believe we win, and we should win, but I hope we don't fly in on a false sense of confidence much like last year, which cost us dearly. If we treat Port with respect tonight, keep the pressure up and everyone is accountable, we win well and keep the season humming along :-)

    Have a look at time in centre bounces and time on ground for Trac, Clarry and Viney this year versus last year. All are under 80% from memory this year. 
    And Trac is playing way more time forward than ever before. 
    Against the Hawks after half time I saw a centre bounce of JJ, Gus and Kosi. Name one time that happened last year. Not even when we were 10-0. 

    Correct.  It also resulted in a neutral outcome even though the Hawks won the tap.  Not bad!

    The other somewhat out-of-the-norm set ups (vs 2022) included...

    Tracc, Sparrow & Gus

    Viney, Sparrow & Gus

    Clarry, Kozzy & Sparrow x 3

    Viney, Gus & Jordon

    I have the outcomes on these but won't bore you with the details

    In a crossover from the puppy thread, I'm led to believe that the pooch on the left is named "Yartapuulti".

    No longer a regular beer drinker myself but Coopers Sparkling Ale and Original Pale Ale are surely two of the better beers available on the mainland. Or were?

    In a chilled glass of course...

    Classic. Well done

    You'd think, given their lack of forward line, that they should struggle to kick a score. But given we aren't great defending ground balls inside 50, Dixon and Marshall out may not be an issue for them

     

    Schmiddy a chance for the Sub?

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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.
