At the break of Gawn

Can’t believe a few people don’t have Gawn, he was huge. 6. Petracca 5. Gawn 4. Oliver 3. Kozzy 2. Spargo 1. May (big second half) Apologies to Tmac.

Absolutely thrilled with that win and super proud of them given the interrupted week. Here I was worried we’d lose 3 in a row after last week! This team is different.

The other thing to remember is that we had restrictions went that happened. Connor broke restrictions. Marty hasn’t done anything wrong here. He’s just unlucky and it’s very hard to keep on top of all the exposure sites. New ones are getting added by the hour.

He’s having a better season than anyone else going around right now. I’m glad I put money on him at $17 for the Brownlow.

Would actually prefer M Brown over Weid right now. Through the was ok against the Hawks a few weeks ago. Took his chances.

Getting a please explain from the umpires won’t change a thing, but I think it’s important for the club to stand up and ask the question. People said Hardwick was whinging but at least he’s being honest and not copping it. I just think not asking the question makes us look like a club that just accepts poor treatment from the AFL.

Agree with every single one of these.

Maybe I’m catastrophising here, but I can easily see us going 9-3 here. Dogs are in unbelievable form and we face them at Marvel. We then play the most in form team of the comp who’s won their past 6 games. A “home” game against Brisbane in Alice.Thank god we have the Pies after that.

I really hope Melbourne enquires it. Goodwin never does. He just has the view of “swings and roundabouts” but that non decision was clearly influenced by the crowd.

The deliberate I could potentially understand with all the panic with 20s to go, but the holding the ball was as bad as the Zac Bailey one. Just gutless umpiring

Not enough our small forward pressure players: Spargo AnB Pickett Need a ton more from them.

2 of those wins were against North and the Suns at home by just 10pts. How they beat the Cats in round 1 is still a mystery. Geelong simply didn’t turn up and by the time they did it was too late. They’re still a sneaky chance of the wooden spoon in my opinion as I can only see their season getting worse and worse.

Beautiful weather in Adelaide today it looks. 24 and sunny with only a few clouds. I’m actually thinking we’re going to have one of our bigger wins today. 40+ points. The crows have fallen into a hole lately (although they were decent last week). I just can’t see them kicking many goals against our defence. We’ll do what the Giants did to them a few weeks ago.

Brown can manufacture goals a bit better than Weid can, and if he takes a mark inside 50, it’s 80% going through compared to Weid who is a 50-50 set shot. Having said that, Weid can crash packs better than Brown and is better at ground level. It’s a tough choice. Let’s see how Weid goes this w/e, but if he doesn’t hit the scoreboard, then surely Brown comes back in. We need as much scoreboard pressure against the Dogs that we can get.

Genuinely worried about McKay next week. He’s got 10cm on May and in great form.

Bit amused by the posters wanting Harmes dropped. He hit the contest hard and was Melbourne’s no.1 ranked player on the ground last night.

Had Rampe on him most of the night and he’s the Swans best defender. Tmac and BBB wouldn’t have played so well if Fritsch didn’t get the best defender.

I haven’t watched the replay yet after getting home from the game, but that doesn’t surprise me, he’s a woeful commentator who also shouldn’t be allowed to do Dogs games.

Can someone explain how the Saints have 54k members this year and we’re only on 46k? We’ve had a higher tally them then the last few years (9k more in 2019), yet, there they are sitting 14th on the ladder or something with 8k more members than us?

Congrats, Adam! I’m still making my way through the Great Deepression but have just pre-ordered this on Amazon ?

I reckon North are due some credit. They played an outstanding first half and when you listen to Goody’s post match, he did say the Kangas had a specific plan against us which they executed well. Does anyone know if Paul Roos was in the opposition box? One last thing, what was with Ben Brown not extending the dukes at all for the whole game? Kept on trying to mark on his chest time and time again which allowed McKay to get a fist in.

Pretty sure that hasn’t happened since 2016

AnB probably has a pretty big vault of bad games, but that was one of his worst in a long time.

I feel we lost it as soon as it wasn’t relocating to Marvel. We can’t play on this ground. Full stop.

I almost feel we can’t lose today. We have a full strength side that’s currently keeping a club champion out and the most promising young key forward on our list. North on the other hand has one of their weakest sides in about 20 years, with even LDU (one of their best young players) also out. If we lose today the media will go with that old rhetoric “Just when you thought you could trust them, they let you down”. But really this would be one of our worse losses in 20 years if we lost today, so I just can’t see it happening.
