replacing who tho?

to allow salem to move back into the midfield?

Maybe Chandler if he is not 100%, which would be sad given his great game Saturday.

Great reports all.

Hopefully Chandler does make the cut. Been impressed with his goal kicking the last 2 weeks, both from the snaps and the set shots.

I haven’t seen AMW play - would he be a like for like Chin replacement, or just maybe the young Kolt?

 

Reading over this thread, jeez we're in a good mood collectively. The players' good vibes seem to be brushing off on the supporters?

Many seem to like AMW. I am still on the fence. They have given him a run of half-back at Casey lately, where he wasn't great. Much better up forward. Can move well in tight areas, is a reasonable kick, can get in and under, he has some size for a small, and will fill out as he matures. Loves a goal. Not like Kolt or Chin, AMW at his best is more of a Farmer type player if he can continue to improve the skills. Also requires more confidence and aggression.

It’s a great move imo. As is staying in Adelaide ‘til after the Crows game. 

Probably includes a trip to the Barossa between games. Good luck to them.

also noticed the dorks player cribbed an extra 3 metres from where he marked

stupid ump let him get away with it, forcing chin to kick from 50. umps really need to pay more attention to setting the mark properly

The umps are getting worse and worse at that.   The stand rule was introduced to stop the man on the. mark moving sideways to cover any inside movement of the player with the ball.   (Not something I like but I can see the reasons).  But now we have the player with the ball starting well inside where he should be making the man on the mark almost irrelevant - too easy to run around.  In fact that's why many run back so they can be 'outside 5'. I never know if the ump is telling the player to go outside 5 or if he already is.  And as to where 5m is from an ill-defined mark position, it's a complete lottery.

Definitely, Chook. The players were like little kids at times. The mood was playful and fun. All except for one. Poor Bowser was really down in the dumps. He spent much time sitting on the step of the electric cart, kinda hidden away and when Richo or Goody or one of the physios squatted there to chat to him, his head was hanging and they’d be patting him on the shoulder (the good shoulder) and seemed to be consoling him. 😢

May and Melksham won't be there, so a trip to a winery/restaurant should be fine.

Thought that flying out after a main session at Casey on Wednesday sounded a bit bizarre

Haha who on earth said they’d fly out tomorrow? With the CBA you can’t just make players “work” without days off to do what they want for 9 days in a row without a break, especially for those with young families. The club would never spend two more days away than necessary…

The umps do if the player does.

Only similarity with Swift is the moves come with 30+ others on the stage.

A little weird???... it's so odd it's funny! I couldn't help asking the question.

If they’re ‘meat’ birds which are different to layers. Home raised chickens have a slightly ‘gamier’ taste which is not everyone’s cup of tea.

Can you please stop! I’ve got little *Harry (HP35) sitting on my shoulder right now and she’s looking at my phone, very anxious.

*or little Jed (JA26). I can’t be sure. 😅

If they’re layers that aren’t laying you’ve got 2 options. Accidentally’ leave her out of the night time lock up and a fox will take care of her or slow cook her. Low heat, 8 hours, thyme, rosemary and lemon zest. Serve her up on mashed potatoes with a side of broccolini and carrots.

Too soon.

And that would never happen again anyways since they now sleep in the house.

So you can stick your rosemary and lemon zest where the sun don’t shine, along with your mashed spuds, broccolini and especially your carrots. 😡

You do know if it’s only one person, it’s technically not a queue, right?

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
