Redleg

Hopefully we keep him on and make him into at worst, another good depth player. TBH we only have 3 real rucks on the list and 2 of them are quite young.

Didn't see the first 3/4 but commentators saying Bradtke beat Buzza a former AFL player. Bradtke playing in defence last few weeks.

Too much wine.

Similar builds, long hair, long sleeves and a 5 in the number, make it understandable to some degree. Then again it is their damn job to know better.

And charged and locked up too I hope.

Agree. Funny how we are all praising the game of a key forward who didn’t score.

Really hoping Blues and Saints can pull off big upsets this weekend.

A very good win, with several playing below their best, like Langdon, Spargo, Harmes and Fritta for example. Once again, where are the DL experts who wanted Tom Mac, JJ, Hunt, Spargo and Petty gone last year. Then again the FD wanted Tom Mac gone too. What a wonderful rejuvenation of his footy career we have seen. Credit to you Tom, you are now one of the first picked.

So now they can give them the dodgy ones in front of goal.

They are dropping the ball continually and then we are getting pinged for hold the man. Agree disgraceful. You can throw the ball if you are the home Adelaide team, but heaven help you if you handball quickly it’s a throw if you are the away team. Boys playing well atm, hopefully can go another half against 25.

While many suspect AFL interference, if anyone ever came out with proof of that, people would go to jail, there could be some collateral violence/retribution from fanatics and the game might never recover. Even a misplaced comment could cost jobs. It's a zillion to one.

Answer. When we get back to maximum effort and pressure, a settled competent forward line, good goal kicking and decent inside 50 disposal.

Yes Port would release their best young kid.

Didn't one of the footy shows say we were the 2nd youngest side this round? That would explain the pressure dropping. Mental and physical fatigue setting in.

What is that?

Media saying Butters and Clurey back.

Or Ross Lyon.

And a Crow dropped it and then it was kicked 8 metres to Tex , who goaled and put them in front and then another Crow pushed Pickett in the back as he tried to mark 20 out from our goal and then another Crow hand balled it straight out, all in the last two minutes and all not paid to us after several dubious frees and goals therefrom were handed to the Crows. Funny game footy.

Choco will be 63 in August. He won’t get a senior gig again. Yze could and that is a worry, as we have already lost Burgess.

And there you have it. As I said weeks ago, the big signing that could save a Board and keep Mitchell at Hawks. Could the quinella be Ross Lyon to Blues.

It's a long way from the best mark ever.

Cats keep on getting. Hocking back to Cats with whatever advantages in place. Brad Scott possible replacement and brother of Cats Coach. Labour Government pouring money into the club which is in a labour seat.

It is impossible to smash a side without good forward entry and multiple scoring options. Atm I think we would all agree we have neither. For example how do we compare with the Dogs? Bont, MacRae, Smith, Libba, Hunter, JJ and Treloar and Dunkley on return, can all dispose well under pressure, with Treloar probably the weakest, but so quick he makes metres. Then forward they have Naughton, English, Bruce, Weightman etc who are clearly better than our guys. We have a better defence, but their defence is under less pressure,because of their mids and forwards.

Sadly, lose to Port and if Lions and Cats win, we are 5th, with a hard draw to come and 6th looking likely soon after.

Perhaps if his team mates gave him a forward option or told him he was “hot”it might have worked out a bit differently on those occasions.
