  1. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/blogs/hit-the-post/the-biggest-vics/20100512-uxil.html How does this work when he is a South Australian? Is this worst piece of journalism ever or am I missing something?
  2. Make it 20 a quarter, 80 a game. That's plenty, simple really.....
  3. Naitanui only looks good against teams with no ruck stocks. The Russian will show him how it's done on Saturday. Don't let the guy take a running leap at anything and he's useless
  4. I took the boys out for the afternoon for a look - so a big sorry to anybody that had to listen to my grisly two I thought Watts was good, but not outstanding. Mind you the ground conditions were heavy, having a kick on the ground it was surprising how heavy it was. I'd have him in next week though on that performance, but as a high half forward flank otherwise Glass will have a field day. What about Coburg though? Mouthing off like superstars in the 3rd quarter. The worst of the Mortons was the worst though, call out Newton for being "soft", then giving away pissweak free kicks and kicking the ball out on the full. There is a reason that West Coast got rid of this bloke, he's an idiot. Number 33 (whoever he was) continually having a crack at Watts was a disgrace too. I would have thought that being down by 50 points at that stage would shut people up. Clearly not. The best moment of the day was in the 4th quarter. McMahon was about to take a kick-in after a point and there was a delay for some reason. Someone in the crowd right behind piped up, THANKS FOR SCULLY AND TRENGOVE. Priceless, he couldn't do much about it and let out a bit of a smile. BOG 1st half was Cheney. Didn't have anything to do in the second half because we dominated. BOG 2nd half was too close to call. We just were too dominant in the midfield.
  5. They introduced a system a few years ago of consultation between all umpires involved, not just the goal umpire
  6. No he didn't, but it was a unique set of circumstances because of the pink Will never happen again
  7. On Triple M, he just admitted that the umpire uniform choice was a mistake but once started couldn't do anything about it Although a huge stuff-up, it's good to see him on the front foot in the morning admitting a stuff up Also said that goal umpiring decisions were correct. After discussions with all umpires if there is any doubt the smaller score shall be registered
  8. Badly, badly missed last weekend In the top ten required players without a shadow of a doubt No wonder Adelaide wanted him really really bad, they need someone like him Too bad he's OURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  9. Yeah the umpire called good handball!! To be fair he was standing on the wrong side as per bloody usual
  10. Changes are weather dependent. McKenzie isn't only in our best 22, he's top ten for sure
  11. Round 22 before the finals
  12. The best chance is to make a prelim final and make him really want it next year as well ;-) ;-)
  13. None of the above. Rivers should get the boot. Three others are our core defence for the next 4+ years. They need games and YEARS together. Leave them the bloody hell alone!!!!!!! It annoys me, trying to take out of the backline to make a forward line. How about waiting a using the players that are injured when they come back?
  14. Yikes!!! End transmission
  15. Biggest loss by year 07 - 89 points, round 17 v Port Adelaide at AAMI 08 - 116 points, round 19 v Geelong at MCG (olympic opening ceremony night),104 points, round 1 v Hawthorn at MCG, 95pts R2 v Bulldogs at MCG 09 - 66 points, round 11 v Collingwood at MCG (Queens Birthday)
  16. Who would you rather be, us or Hawthorn? Richmond? Oh my, oh my on their way to an absolute flogging of the highest AFL order Adelaide? One would think a year too far. We are in very, very good hands....
  17. I don't know if anybody noticed last night but after the swans - brisbane game Dunstall said it was a good win by the SAINTS! I couldn't believe it, had to rewind and play over and over again. It was terrible
  18. you are joking? I have no idea how harvey didn't end up with 40 touches Bartram's idea of a "tag" is to stand by him at a stoppage run with him for 15m then get puffed and drop off. Happened about 20 times. I hate harvey with a passion but his gut running is phenomenal After the 2nd quarter I wasn't concerned with the result and wondered how Bartam was doing and watched non stop the 3rd quarter. Needs a lesson from Jones from st kilda or Ling
  19. And that would be the definition of a log jam!!!

  21. There is about 400 threads on this topic already
  22. I didn't know he was gay. Well there you go, you learn something new everyday. He must be gutted because he's not going north, he's an emergency here this weekend
  23. Here's another article from the same press conference, a much better article http://sportal.com.au/afl-news-display/special-rivalry-set-to-start-90271
  24. Eat a hat is the least pram friendly stadium i've ever been to. They won't let you sit the disabled seats if there is nobody disabled and there is really nowhere to go with a pram. We just take a very small stroller and hope for the best. Hopefully since it's only north and I've got three kids and no wife this week we will be ok!!
  25. I think the improvement has come down to on-field application. Our skills may have increased a little, but it's the tackling, spoiling and HUNTING AS A TEAM PACK that has been the biggest improvement. That's where the best teams win consistantly (St Kilda) and the worst teams lose (Richmond, Wet Toast) In saying that all these talented players not playing must surely be increasing the skill level of the lower rung of players because they see what they have to do to get a game and have increased accordingly. I wouldn't read too much into the article. It's just one small grab from a press conference they have every week and mostly it's the same old dribble. Forget about it and play the game on it's merits.
