Chook

ANB continuing the good form as well IMO. McDonald, Lever, and McVee have all been great as well in defence.

Should be a free in the centre square after the goal if you've already got a free on the goal line.

The whole "dissent" saga has been such a joke from where it started in that first pre-season game vs Carlton in 2022 to where it is now, as essentially a "don't mention the scoreboard replay function" is so silly but so typical of the AFL.

Looks a certain week to me.

We just look the classier outfit. Getting out of this state with the 8 points will feel very good if we can do it.

Trac's hand being held like he's your nephew crossing the road. Play on.

Great spoil from ANB off the bench there. They were away if they marked that.

Windsor just makes it look so easy.

Holding the _____ being umpired in Adelaide's favour consistently tonight.

The amount of time the umps are giving Adelaide players to dispose of the ball is insane.

What a smother from Sparrow to give Trac the opportunity to shark and goal.

Caleb Windsor is so clean.

Umps not paying holding the ball or holding the man tonight.

Getting pretty much nothing from our forwards, and moving the ball sloppily from defence. We do look tired, as you'd expect.

Look at all the doctors in this thread inputing their clinical diagnosis on May.

Can't believe May is out there. I guess it's just pain not damage but boy-oh-boy I wouldn't want to be playing footy 2 weeks after the injury he sustained.

Thanks I've been following Melbourne for a few minutes so I know that. It's his natural position imo.

I really like Tommy Mac in the backline. He's a huge body and knows how to position himself.

Jeez Caleb Windsor is good. He's doing stuff one touch that I've barely seen any 1st year player ever do.

Maxy with the first blood in the coin toss. Can we lose a coin toss? I feel like we win every week?

Adelaide fumbling ground balls in the warmup I see. Not going to be good enough tonight.

Probably thought we were card nerds or something.

Like we did last week vs port?

JVR looks like he's about to drop the latest hard rock album of 2024.

Every club gets a 5 day break at least once in the year. Maybe the club decided this would be a good place to put it, and actually requested this. It does allow the squad to stay in SA the two weeks while still minimising the whole length of the overall trip for the club and families. I haven't heard Goodwin or anyone else from the Melbourne side complaining about this situation.
