Dee*ceiving

A 20th team makes sense though and SA and WA would appear the most viable locations. At least both those states aren't completely broke like we are here.

You're underestimating the deep seeded corruption. At the AFL it would make no sense at all to have the two SA teams play each other in Gather Round...This model provides cream for the investors (SA Govt) at no cost to the AFL 😀 Not really, but, the 3h 20m flight itself is only a part of the journey. It would be double that in total travel time when adding in travel to the airport, standing around at the airport, waiting to taxi, waiting to disembark, more standing around at the airport then bussing/driving home.

Crows will crack in, desperate times in front of ~40k+ desperados but our class will see us home. Go Dees!

Without wanting to count eggs late or hatch chickens early one has to think our change in gameplan makes Kozzy and Chin far more dangerous now we aren't continually cutting the ball off on the wings and banging it back into a packed F50

No concern from me. JVR's effort has been stellar in the air and on the ground and providing good cover for Max. Marks and goals will come.

Woey in for Chin May in for Marty Marty sub I was convinced that night and still am that we only lost that game by a miserable 2 points because it fell on my 40th birthday! 🤮 It was a great day otherwise and a fun game to watch until the closing moments! 🥳😖

Absolutely massive win. If we can beat the crows and go 4-1 with 3 of 5 games interstate it will really set out season up...and we won't have to return to SA. Short breaks haven't been kind to us in the past though & crows backs are against the wall

I've been to Adelaide. That group would be top 10% most attractive, from my experience...

Hit the right hand goal post unfortunately

BBB and TMac... who saw this coming??

Playing differently this year. We won't lead the I50s as much as we have previously.

Outstanding win, 4 qtrs effort across all lines. Don't underestimate it, on the road, rolled the sleeves up and went to work. ANB BOG Lever huge Trac measured Gawn leadership personified Brown & Fritsch finishing with class Caleb absolute Jet JV7's heart is as big as the Adelaide oval Could go on all night...soak it in!! 💪

Agree. Blanketed Naughton, as he has done countless times. Dogs goals came from bontempelli and unlikely sources like Treloar and Johanissen, talls couldn't get a snifter... 💪

Thanks for sharing Rab. Good listen...good people.

Wow. Good observation. Jackson was certainly the one that got away & had we kept him we'd have not had Grundy

That was great play from Brown, super smart. His long run up actually adds to the space in front for others to run into. If not a set play already, it should be from now on!

Maybe crowing too early but the last two games have a 21 feel. Not in terms of purely dominant footy more in terms of the team enjoying themselves and playing selfless footy. Defending as a team, extra efforts, looking to give off instead of blazing and celebrating good moments together.

Yeah maybe harsh in hindsight in an effort to give Plugger Mac some love

I thought JVR was terrific. I really think he's out best second ruck option. Competes in the air and on the ground. And time in the ruck gives him an outlet to get into the game if it's not working for him Inside F50.

One of Traccs best games, effective on every line, doubt he lost a contest Fritsch excellent, he embarrassed Sicily in the last quarter Petty a good in. Particularly when switched back in necessity. Pickett, what a player. Maybe top 10 in the league by seasons end. Staying optimistic on May and Lever, I feel like they won't miss long and if we have depth anywhere it's in the backline. If we can go 1-1 in Adelaide and then beat the lions on our home ground post bye and we've made a very good start.

6. Petracca - was everything, everywhere 5. Gawn - dominant with strength and class 4. Neal-Bullen - worked his backside off from the first bounce 3. Oliver - a very Clayton game 2. McDonald - held the backline together even without his two big buddies. stacks of timely spoils 1. Pickett - Irresistible pressure and pure class

The Duke

I can see your point too DD. The four points still most important but it seems in recent years clubs don't value the 'find form in the 2s' model we were used to in the 90s.

Could be @binman. They may even want to trial all of Brown, Petty and JVR forward allowing more rest for Max

Presume Petty will be sub. Maybe the thinking is 1.5 qtrs is more useful to find form and get miles in the legs than a full VFL practise match?
