*Gibbons. Who also has a well known short kick, compared to Newnes who can roost it. Zero chance Gibbons is slotting it 55 out on the boundary.

I'd say that Vanders and Jones were fine today, certainly wouldn't go as far as awesome. It's more to do with my thoughts that Harmes is not being maximised at half back, and that I'd rather bring in another backman to replace him, so that he can have more wing time.

Out: Preuss and one of Vanders/Jones/Sparrow In: Gawn and Rivers I want Harmes out of his defensive role.

Can we petition the AFL to get these umpires every week. All top blokes.

As far as I've seen it the game is over. Collingwood need to kick 6 goals, in the wet, against a breeze, 2 players down, and off a four day break. I want us to step it back up and increase the margin. You never know the value of percentage.

I think Fritsch needs to swing round to his left a little bit, ike a less exaggerated Buddy Franklin or Matt Suckling. This is how he kicks around the ground and he is great. On his set shots he runs dead straight and the ball bobbles around a lot.

Darcy Moore, Ben Reid and probably Pendlebury. Hopefully Pendles decides he needs another week of rest. Either way I think we should go in favourites, and this is a massive opportunity for us.

Probably the most frustrating and aggravating 50 point win I've ever watched. Adelaide are a truly horrible football team right now, they just cannot kick a score. Main Dees takeaways for me: -Steven May another fantastic game. Made Tex look like a local reserves player. -Clayton Oliver escaping the packs and thinking a little more with the ball was fantastic. -Brayshaw should only ever play on ball. This makes it hard to balance the midfield but that's what the coaches are paid the big bucks for. -Jackson was clearly worrying ROB with his jumping ability. Good positioning up forward too. -Neither Bennell or ANB impacted up forward. Small forward positions are still well up for grabs.

Tex should've given away about 5 free tonight. Is hardly even going for the ball

First play of the second half Brayshaw overruns the ball and Adelaide send it forward

Eddie, Kingy and Derm whinging about taunting in the game, and they only show the Vanders example. Of course they don't talk about Max being targeted off the ball, including being repeatedly punched in the chest in the first quarter. Or maybe they could talk about McHenry going after May after the ball is gone. Biased umps and biased commentary.

Umps have let Adelaide get away with this niggle all game. Just as they've let Max be tackled in the ruck and Taylor Walker has been allowed to shephard in the marking contest multiple times. Two free kicks for us that quarter is [censored] [censored]

How I felt watching tonight's game

Agree with the entire post, but this bit really sticks out for me. Did we have any tactics whatsoever in the first quarter? Didn't run from half back at all. Didn't use the corridor at all. The players looked completely content to just keep going down the line straight to the Port outnumber, even though they were putting goal after goal on the scoreboard. What had Goodwin and the other coaches actually worked on during the week?

Hey we actually got some run of half back. What a crazy idea

This is happening to us every week due to our tap dominance. Around the clearances the other clubs are just clinging on to our midfielders and then breaking into space when we turn it over. Need to change our system around the ball to find more seperation.

Who gives a [censored] if it's a report Hamish. You've got the vision right in front of you to see that there was nothing in it. Move on you moron

Port are consistently getting the ball out the front of the stoppage with forward handballs. St.Kilda completely stopped this last week by getting a winger off the back of the stoppage.

Was it Fritsch who gave away a stupid 50 like that a couple of weeks ago? I know someone did

Pure idiocy from Fritsch

Grow some balls goal umpire

What is wrong with that umpire seriously

McCluggage killing us with his clean hands. Always hitting running players

Goodwin said in his presser yesterday that the rest of the group would join next Friday.

Surely we don't have the salary cap space for a player the calibre of Williams? In the last few years we've picked up Lever, May, Tomlinson and Langdon. Add that on top of the likes of Gawn, Oliver, TMac and Trac, and I'd imagine that our cap would be fairly full.
