  1. Eddie left the place a total mess. Shows how good a leader he was towards the end
  2. You're right I did get the opponent confused. we got screwed in 98 in that we beat the lower ranked Adelaide in the first final then had to go through higher ranked opponents than Adelaide in the prelim despite fishing higher than then in the ladder and beating them in the first final. They changed the system the following year
  3. Very easy Langdon for Melksham for mine
  4. OP is right the 98 finals system screwed is bigtime. We destroyed the crows in the first final then for made to travel to the west. Farmer was at the peak of his powers and McLeod was sent to him in a surprise move at the time and he torched him. Having said that this is most balanced and consistent team I've seen in my 42 years.
  5. Bowey c'mon he is going to be a player but maybe jump to be at hunts level even though he wasn't amazing knows how to complete at afl level
  6. It's awful. Brisbane can do no wrong according to Hodge and the rest are following his lead
  7. They are to sharp for us. Naturally Play similarly to Adelaide played against us and a much better side
  8. Is he the guy who trained with us earlier in the year. Mark Williams must know all about him

    Collingwood allowed into Adelaide, just when you think common sense has prevailed the SA CHO comes out with this pearler for those who will attend the match “If the ball comes towards you, my advice is to duck and do not touch that ball,"

    100% agree. Adelaide oval is a great idea. SA government are being rediculous. These afl teams and staff have been under lockdown conditions longer than the general public, get tested regularly and if God forbid a player or staff member was found to be positive it would be an easy contact tracing exercise , exposure sites would be counted on one hand and close contacts all known immediately
  12. It's a better ground , surface and size
  13. Scg will resemble a cow paddock come Sunday good thing we would be first up on Friday night.
  14. Shhhh don't forget who you Barack for
  15. BS against rivers. The intent was to get a kick away and advance the ball in his team's direction rediculous
  16. That and gawns 50 metre kick from the ruck clearance that bounced left instead of right/straight

    Nothing Lucky about being at Collingwood or Port game not featuring the Dee's

    They usually send members an offer for at least 40%off from memory. I always load up
  20. Great job Kiran, I've been enjoying your weekly guest interviews, good point of difference from other pod's. Keep up the good work
  21. Only stat her get all day
  22. Yeah they showed it on the coverage his arm slipped up buddy's oiled up biceps and hit him in the the head. Rampe get anything for this incident? extremely dangerous https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/dane-rampes-dangerous-act-against-melbourne-caught-on-camera/news-story/6596bb7545b4d50ff8453b89c9f03191
  23. I think it's this, people get their normal reserved seat against the Blues next week I think it will help crowd numbers
  24. Prefer Jones , he has the experience and had asked he can adjust to the pace instantly, also more versatile in terms of the position he can play
  25. Great content,enjoyed the interview and learned alot about the new prez. Seriously impressive resume and loved that she delivered the Melbourne Park precinct which is world class and bodes well for our new facility. Infinitely better than Luke Jackson sniffing coffee cups trying on Alan Richardson's glasses which was the other thing I watched today.
