Chook

Well at least there's one coach tonight making the correct decisions.

I don't follow your logic. We're winning most of these stats, yet you say we're hopeless. Help me out here.

I'm surprise because we're playing way worse than we did just one quarter ago.

Has Mark Neeld ever made a positional change during a game that anyone can recall?

Jones has been quiet tonight. Blease has done absolutely nothing. I've noticed we've started to use the old Ashton Hams technique of leaning into the opposition tackle and earning bs high free kicks. It's about time. If other teams are doing it, why shouldn't we?

I know right. What is he thinking?

There's enough of that going on as is. If you have Spencer or Martin there treating every big bomb in as a sort of ruck contest at the very least, then we'll be able to create stoppages inside 50 instead of kicking to Magner and Couch in a 1 on 3 contest. It's better than what we've got already and trains our guys to utilize the structure that we'll use when Clark is in the side.

What kind of moronic forward line has every single player under 6 foot? How are you supposed to do anything with a setup like that?

If only we had a big 200 cm key forward who knew how to lead out of the square and provide a target . . . We should stick either Martin or Spencer in the square, just to straighten us up and give us something.

Brad Green seems to have regained the step or two he lost since the beginning of last year. If he can keep this up, I see him sticking around for another year. I'd really love that to happen.

I wish I knew what happened to Petterd since that dropped mark in the dying seconds against Collingwood in Round 2, 2010. If only.....

Ominous signs for Melbourne. I'm predicting a big win. 40+ points.

Those three blokes are so courageous. Unbelievable bravery from the two Port players and my mancrush Jetta.

Stef Martin! Not many ruckmen can do that. If it was Nic Nat, there would be jizz all over the commentary box.

Skilful handball from Dunn and great pace from Nicho for that goal. Jetta is a great tackler.

Jetta involved early. He looks really good.

10 mins of bs starting at 7:30. The actual game starts at 7:40.

If you actually watched that tripe, you're a bigger lover of the game than I am.

That's a pretty big endorsement of Jetta's fitness. Good on him for keeping up his endurance during his time off. I'm really excited to see what he can do tonight.

What an underwhelming round of footy this has turned out to be. Drubbings all round. Perhaps the Dees can turn it around. I just wish Jurrah, Watts and Clark were playing tonight. I'm excited to see what my man Jetta can do though.

Agreed. I hold no ill-will towards Chris Judd (or Tom Scully) for pursuing the largest contracts they could. But the extracurricular payments Judd gets makes me extraordinarily skeptical of his moral outlook. Likewise, Tom Scully's willingness to lie to people he had worked closely with for two years is just totally unnecessary and (to my mind) non-sensical. In the words of the judge from Shawshank, they strike me as "particularly icy and remorseless men." It chills my blood just to look at them. I don't have any real problems with lying, per se. It's unnecessary lying that I detest.

Why was Adelaide so bad last year?

It began days ago. Apparently bluey has a history.

Liam Jurrah represents a significant financial investment. Therefore, it would follow that the club would want to protect that investment as best it can.

God! Give it a rest, would you?
