The 1%er stat includes spoils.

Why is it a problem? Also it’s super disrespectful to call him Jane, and not just to him.

Walker is a good player who is out of form. Don’t understand the need for hyperbole - softest in the game is just nonsense. He might be a massive knob and had a horrible GF, but he can play. Jenkins is frustratingly unphysical for such a big man, he’d cause fans to tear their hair out. He’s a 40 goal a year forward though so he must do something right.

The Sydney that lost to Gold Coast and Essendon in consecutive weeks is going to beat Collingwood, Melbourne and Hawthorn? K.

Absolutely stoked that he’s made it. Was a crucial cog in the Roos era in fast tracking our path back to competitiveness, and has always played like the jumper matters. Will go down as a true Demon now. Well done Bernie!

I wonder what happened after that - full pissup in 2001? Seems strange you wouldn’t try and repeat it the next year if it worked. Unless they thought it didn’t, of course.

Wow. When did I put a bee in your bonnet?

Agree with this. Sizeable difference between a team approaching a flag window needing to squeeze out the last 1% of performance, and a team with a crushed morale that needs to do what it needs to do to stay together.

Alright. It’s @Wiseblood (only sees the good), @Clint Bizkit (ultra pessimist), @A F (sees good and bad but can’t see past his own bias once it creeps in), and @Petraccattack (goes flying off the handle in either direction over whatever happened in the last moment). Between these four autobots, I think I have the whole spectrum of footy supporters covered.

Hey, if only the 7000 tiny things that didn’t go our way so far this year actually did, we’d probably be 18-0 with a percentage of 300.

Always funny to see how overboard fans go when they lose. Heaps of them are bagging Cheney, when I thought he was frustratingly difficult for us to get past and played a significant role in repelling our scoring opportunities. Would have been in the top 6 if I was voting in Crowland Player of the Year. Then there’s the “it’s all the leaders fault” posts. Funny how leadership is always shining in wins and disastrous in losses. It’s no different to here after a loss. People can’t see through their own disappointment, and look at the players through that lense. I reckon I could program a forum posting bot where I just feed it the footy scores, and it writes post that mimick the average mug’s posts, and nobody would be able to tell the difference.

Hahaha. Oh god. I totally relate to that. Talk about moments that burn in to one’s psyche. I wouldn’t have backed Adelaide to get it done if Betts had kicked the goal. I accept they might have, but I wouldn’t be that sure. Matt Crouch ain’t Paddy Dangerfield, Tex ain’t the Tomahawk and Kyle Cheney ain’t Zach Tuohy.

In b4 someone with a really short memory suggests trading him.

My bad - forgot you were the ultimate pessimist.

Or it might not have been. Are you that confident they’d have been able to kick another goal out of the middle with a minute to go, given how scrappy and lengthy the contests had been?

Fritsch only had 8 disposals, which surprised me. I’d say every one of them was important, because I thought he was pretty good on the night. Melksham was much better than joyboy gives credit for this week.

I honestly can’t imagine watching footy in a manner where I couldn’t get enjoyment out of imperfect wins. I feel sorry for you.

Yep. Sadly, the only outcome that matters out of all the possible ones, is the one that actually happened.

Pretty hard to say Betts goal = loss. Ball goes back to the middle for another long winded scrappy contest. It could very well have been the last score of the game. Anyway he didn’t kick it, so tough luck for them.

Weideman in if Hogan isn’t fit. vandenBerg in if Petracca isn’t fit. No unforced changes.

Yep. He’s running over the centre circle as the ball reaches the Hogan contest.

Level headed isn’t a word I’d use to describe dazzler. And I say that with love.

Great to see him given the chance to lead the boys in after the Lewis chair was finished. He has been important to the team over the journey, even if he’s on the fringes now. Well done and congratulations on the 100 Dom.

The exact moment the pressure valve went whoosh. Epic contest win by Hogan too who otherwise had a game to forget.

Yep. Should have had a goal to his name. I was musing during the game that our #1 starting midfield now has jumper numbers 11, 13, 10 and 4 in it. I definitely would not have expected that at the start of the year. It’ll be interesting to see how the mix changes when Viney returns.
