Too much weight on ligaments?

Back on top, to remain there for rest of 2022

Five more goals and they replace the pIes in the eight.

A couple of unanswered goals is all the need to put Pies out

Glad Oweiss missed that, did a massive dive in third playing for free, that free was from a clear dive

If the Suns win by 39 or above, the Blues % will drop below 100, I’d like to see that…

6 goals up, almost 3/4 time, hopefully Suns win by over 10 goals

No one knows. The umps certainly don't. They [censored] around with talking back to the ump and encroaching 1cm sideways of the mark if a player fakes a handpass. But what about the fundamental rules of the game?

Leave contentious things like holding the ball/man out of it for the moment.

They allow flagrant rugby passes. I'm not talking about slick handpasses where it's hard to tell if it's legal or not. I mean full on two handed scoops.

They allow kicks that go 7 and 8 metres. They allow players to run more than 15 metres.

They allow flagrant pushes in the back.

Things that have not been seen in the game since year dot, until very recently.

They're adjudicating to an imaginary version of the rules that only exists in someone's head.

They can't get basic, fundamental laws of the game right. They are incompetent.

The umpires are incompetent because they are led by incompetents who don't know what they are supposed to be doing.

Tell us what you really think….

Would love to see the Suns burst the Blues bubble

Damn I almost liked the Crows for one of the only times in their history!

The Bombers have been going on about how they have played 3 of top 4 from last year. Go Crows!! Make my day😂

Laughing at the thought of the size of the meltdown over at B Blitz if the Crows can get up

What was the issue with buddy?

Didn’t see it, but commentators said hand injury

First up as pointed out the Crows are the best of the state winning 3/5 grand finals says it all.  But like the eagle in the 90's.  Hopefully with Port coming in, it will break up the team a bit.

Imagine 10 teams of Adelaide quality…. That is what we should have

D Smith, not J Smith

Well it’s going to get worse before it gets better given expansion plans. 

This is on the AFL. Should have kept the number of teams to 10 max for a decade and let it evolve organically with the girls coming up from junior sides with proper coaching and experience.

Maybe should have had a state based league (2-3 teams from each) as opposed to AFL mens affiliates that have probably caused this issue due to FOMO.

Been saying similar for a long time. The AFLs greed and shortsightedness have done immense damage to the quality of the game

Had our chances…

That dumped tackle free was a joke, umpire let play go way way too long, created the situation for the dangerous tackle, clueless muppets

Just adding our game review from last night - expect a little blowback from the comments about Pickett ducking into the tackle, but you gotta call what you see... and it is more in relation to the plethora of players employing this tactic. Anyway, hope you enjoy.

Love your write up, understand and agree with your comment on ducking.

That said, I do find it almost cowardly to pick on a young player to highlight it. For years certain Geelong players have mastered this art, the Dogs followed (Hunter prolific at it), but so few commented on it. Kids make easier targets I guess…

Still alive…. Next goal is huge

Am I going crazy or did others hear a clear whistle after the ball was kicked and before the mark in the square??

Seems a pretty ordinary crowd for the only Adelaide based team that are any good 

Need to hang on to half time and somehow come out a different team in next half, a goal and some momentum now would be handy

Where are our forward crumbles?

When will the umpiring fraternity do something about players diving forward when tackled - these muppets reward it with a free when it is a blight on the game 

Home team have three extra players this quarter
