Monbon

As their coach Mr Nicks pointed out post game, they thought they had our measure for much of the game: in other words, it's not always about feet and gas, it usually involves the level of commitment and competence of the opposition. We won a tightly contested game. As we did last week, as most good sides do. The other factor is that in the games we've lost the margins were shall we say rather slim...

I've done that looking for my glasses...yes, and phone. I think it depends also on what part of Adelaide...

Yes, Crows are all about meh meh meh - possibly because too many are of German descent and don't know how to spell ME. ( Hopefully, the same doesn't apply to you. You certainly don't look German...)

A quote from Demonblog: May certainly placed his hands in Daniher's back and made a pushing motion, but it wasn't any worse than the usual jostle between forward and defender. The difference was Joe pitching forward as if hit by a truck. This is where we discovered that the dissent rule is dead, because May went off chops to the point where I thought he might do a John Bourke and tip the umpire over.

The 'push' was something which happens a thousand times a game; had Daniher - he is known for vying for Academy Awards - not 'dropped' the call was 'Play On'. It was as bad an acting job as Merrett's for which he has just been fined. Maybe it's an Essendon gene pool thing...

I'm also extremely conscious of the little space he and Lloyd give to Melbourne Games in their Monday reviews...especially if Melbourne win.

Yes, remember, we did have The White Australia Policy and I remember the vile prejudiced rubbish uttered about the first Chinese cafe opened in our are - Western Suburbs...

The Daniher was a dive. The free should have gone to May...

JVR was handy in the first quarter up forward as well. He'll get there, especially when his confidence in his marking ability builds. The other 3 you mentioned were sensational, as was Bowey.

6: Gawn 5: Petracca 4: Melksham 3: Langdon 2: Brayshaw 1: Rivers.

Watched the highlights of the Bulldog/Swan game and couldn't get over the number of 'throws' masquerading as 'handballs' in a passage in the First Quarter.

This might sound trite, even farly fetched: I only saw the replay but the ball appeared mainly where Kozzie wasn't: in other words, a lot of action passed him by. You have those days in footy. If you want to watch the reply - again, but only of you want to - the play often bypassed where Kozzie was. An analogy might be when most of the play is on one wing, and the other winger's stats can seem miserable. Have faith. On the topic, how bloody good is that double named saint - Wanganeen? !!!!!!

6: May 5: Petty 4: Petracca 3: Melksham 2: Swallow 1: Viney

I thought the Saints were terrific: losing 3 in the first quarter would hurt any team. They have some serious young talent coming through. However, the win was a credit to the Demons; the score in the first quarter at one stage was 3 goals five to one solitary Melbourne Goal. From that point, the Saints scored five goals five and we scored 11 goals 7...

Good Redleg: this was descending into schoolyard toilet banter. I was dis custard.

I agree mostly with your point of view. However, when there are a chain of inconsistent calls, then I don't see how one can come to any other conclusion than that there ought to be some consistency - neutral consistency at that. You can point to any amount of errors a team makes but both teams make similar errors at some points of tightly contested games and I believe it's simply wrong that an umpiring error is the difference between victory or defeat. The bottom line about this game is that Rankines kick was a goal, and a punch to the face in a marking contest is a free kick any day of the week except when a Collingwood player is the puncher in a game at the MCG>

Was about to post: what crapfy umpiring - again. Also, Rankine kicked a goal. He touched the ball BEFORE it crossed the line. And what was the Cox Free for? The Adelaide players response indicated it was total sullbhit.

But so did Tommo...

Tassie played in the ruck sometimes, he became a bit of a swing man...

Yep, Philipines galore. Hey, my brother, have you heard of Nebbiolo and Sangiovese and the dreaded fey Pinot Noir? And, what the f is wrong with the Noble Cab Sav????

Wow. And it's supposed to be fair and equal...

You forgot Leahy and Anderson...

Sidney's Wicks gets 2 weeks for elbowing a player in the head after he's disposed, Hunter gets a week for not getting out of the way of a kamikaze player's head, and they were gonna suspend Van R for spoiling. No way is the system Ducked, no way is it staggered, no way is it unjust, it just follows Christian law, God help the rest of mankind.

Yes, the Yuppies have certainly totally rooned the E Colli Wobbler image!!!!😂🤣😍

3 blind mice??????
