Chook

I'm complaining about both things 😪

Could barely have played worse, similar to Carlton yesterday. Such sloppy skills, spending it before we've earned it and dropping easy handballs (Petracca, Laurie, Salem). It's an attitude thing - the boys are not intense enough which is just bizarre given this win is going to lock in top 4 and it's Gawn and ANB's milestone games.

Boundary and goal umpires are having a laugh this weekend.

Sparrow also a bit to blame in that marking contest. He was manning someone on the far behind post. Should have been further off him to cover the centre kick. In the end he couldn't help Petracca neutralise it.

Petracca playing the worst game of his life, can't handball 2 metres.

Langdon and Brayshaw BOG for us. Lever and Chandler solid as well. Everyone else especially our mids need to lift tremendously.

We need Oliver and Petracca to get involved.

They played 1 month of good football 7 years ago. He's unable to create a culture of sustained success, relying on adrenaline and energy to achieve results, which did work once and nearly worked again in 2021. I think another coach would do more with the list they have.

The sooner they get rid of Beveridge the better. He's a dreadful coach imo.

4:12 look at the sneaky whack on the head from Fletcher. So it has been happening from day dot.

I wish we did. This technology interference in its current state has made things so much worse.

Unfortunately the way the system is, the umpire makes a call and has the option to say they want to check to see if xyz. I believe goals are reviewed. The fact points aren't reviewed especially a critical point like this one is just plain idiocy from a policy perspective.

Potentially top 2 and Top 8 positions decided by poor ARC technology/procedures. It's simply not good enough. Either get better tech or let the humans make mistakes and don't review anything at all.

Come again? Why did they bring the ARC into the game?

Why bring a second fallible human into the equation. Just let the umpire make the call.

Adelaide's season has been a story of being so close to victory so many times. Millimetres from victory.

What an effort by Rischelli

Adelaide are torching their opportunities. I reckon the moment is gone.

Monoccular...Gets it. Goes it. Spears it!!!

Anyone still think our 2022 as a defending premier was underwhelming? Compare that performance to the Tigers' 2021 and Geelong's 2023 and you see how hard it is.

The only sweeter feeling I've had as a fan than beating Geelong in 2021 and 2018 finals was that flag. Everything else pales in comparison. Go well saints fans!

Geez Adelaide are a sniff here. Pretty good effort from Sydney to be leading them all night at Adelaide Oval.

At this time, I am thinking of my manager at KFC in 2007 who was a despondent cats fan when I told them they smashed the Roos. He said it wouldn't last a week. In the words of Mark Williams: You were wrong.

I should be studying up on Sydney ahead of next week but instead I'm watching Geelong hoping for every play to fail and every kick smothered.
