  1. George, your match reports are so well written and entertaining. Keep up the great work 👍
  2. Just walked past a very jovial Trac and Salem and their partners on the walk to tonight’s game. Clearly can’t get enough of Adelaide.
  3. North are utterly hopeless. Lions won’t have it this easy next week. Hopefully they’ll be on comfortable terms with themselves.
  4. Vili’s pies are awesome. Wish VIC still sold them.
  5. Thought he would’ve done that over the summer when he cost himself and the team a round zero spot (or a prelim vs Lions had we hung on against Carlton) Unfortunately we’ve got to take the good with the bad with Kozzie. Not sure he’ll ever get these indiscretions out of his game.
  6. It’s the “community standards” and the “potential to cause injury” buzz words that concern me. But otherwise I agree, it was a text book “low” impact.
  7. FWIW Riley Beveridge in his AFL website match report said a fine was likely because the impact was so minimal. Hopefully the MRO agrees. Absolute worse case he’ll have a two week rest, be back for Anzac eve and be freshened up for season defining games against Geelong and then Carlton off a 5 day break.
  8. In 2022 we beat Port in round 4 and then Adelaide in round 16. Both in Adelaide.
  9. Getting really annoyed we’re having the same conversation time and time again with Kozzie. Given they’ll likely grade the impact as medium, I hope the MRP classifies this as careless rather than intentional, and it’s 1 week rather than two.
  10. I agree with your assessment of Billings. If he had of kicked at least 1 of his 3 attempts the coaching staff may have brushed off his lack of Melbourne like pressure. I think he’s a genuine chance to be dropped unfortunately, after a poor game against Port.
  11. Kozzie will get 1 week for that due to the new rule of “potential to cause harm” Refer the Liam Baker suspension last week. Why does he keep putting himself in these situations?
  12. Port have 6 of their first 8 games at Adelaide Oval. We have 3 of our first 5 games on the road. Seems fair, right?
  13. Pretty good sign that the weekend (Port game) he doesn’t hit the scoreboard he still manages 20 touches as a small forward. Provides a great outlet with his running and overhead marking for someone his size. Super impressed with his year so far.
  14. Yep, aside from our game, the double header is the highlight of Gather Rd from my perspective. Four in form sides.
  15. Long may it continue. It was this time last year Carlton’s season fell off the rails.
  16. Anyone surprised? This club isn’t much better than bush league standard.
  17. Who's travelling over for Gather Round and how many game are you seeing? I'm looking at 7 games. As for the non MFC results: Brisbane to beat North by 58 Port to beat Essendon by 31 Sydney to beat West Coast by 91 Carlton to be Freo by 1 point Geelong to beat Dogs by 19 GWS to beat GC by 40 St Kilda to beat Richmond by 26 Collingwood to beat Hawthorn by 19
  18. If you're ever going to a Port V Dees game at AO, do sit in the top few rows of the river stand behind the right of screen goals. It's half empty and mostly comprises families or 16-20 year olds who are on their phones all game and probably don't even realise they're at the footy. I won't have that luxury again this Thursday as it's a likely a full house.
  19. They probably just looked at the stats sheet and figured 16 and 2 goals is obviously better than 12 and 1. I’d be amazed if he didn’t get a nomination before the mid season break.
  20. Wednesday 6:20pm you would've thought.
  21. Looks like a younger Kochie next to him.
  22. Should get nominated on that goal alone. An 18 year old kid to step up in a finals like environment is very impressive. And anyway, he’s shown more than enough glimpses over 4 games to get nominated this weekend. Although I guess the panel could take the lazy route and look at the kicks and handballs column.
  23. 52 down in disposals and 9 down in inside 50’s.
  24. Ratugolea 8 marks in a half for Port. Something’s breaking down to allow that.
