🤞 Kasey coming home with a wet sail.

Pup gives a yelp! Terrific handball Jeffo!

That bloke shouting into the mike sounds like he just jumped off the overnight bus from the Dapto dogs. Give the man a butter menthol.

Love how Sestan balances, settles and than kicks a goal.

Certainly do and am enjoying the game. A tight competitive contest with most blokes giving it a real go.

Quality of the contest belies the relative ladder position of both sides.

Josh Shackie showing the requisite physicality has the penny dropped?

High rise behind the clubhouse sign of ‘relaxation’ of government planning decisions. Gold Coast on the Bay looming?

Lions running on top of the turf. Demons lumbering in wet cement.

Koltyn Tholstrup?

Hairdo? Joey Scandizzo of South Yarra where those who wished to be seen go. Strictly by appointment folks.

Must have been a rough night out in the hen house WCW. That chicken is looking beyond grumpy.

Sounds like a cunning plan. Must of got it out of Greg Stafford's trash can.

Spoken like a true Irishman BDA. Just upgrade that to Guinness and Fritsch Frites. With a modicum of salt over the left shoulder.

Thought a high protein diet was the go to build muscle mass. Excess carbs could be converted to fats. My personal favourite stout and bananas. Beamish, Guinness and ladyfingers preferred.

joeboy - nailed it convincingly As an encore for the last Saturday’s heroics not an easy watch. Bayley Fritsch’s cameo almost worth the cost of admission. Back to regular away game service from the adjudicators. The team within the local team. Holding the ball, incorrect disposal simply erased from the rule book. Either serial non- decisions, a crow ‘rewarded’ with a free kick or balls it up. Steven May - man of steel

This weeks Joel Selwood encouragement award goes to…

By the numbers 6 Max Gawn 5 Alex Neal-Bullen 4 Jake Lever 3 Jack Viney 2 Clayton Oliver 1 Kade Chandler Honourable mentions Ben Brown Christian Petracca Trent Rivers Tom McDonald Tom Sparrow Caleb Windsor Adjudicators Statistically surprising free kicks in favour of the visitors 25-24. Decisions were subject to momentum swings reflecting the hotly contested game. Broadcast Enjoying the terrific visuals of the action sans commentary. Until some bright spark decided to turn on the volume. Which distracted from the overall viewing experience. Nathan Jones preferred though. Dermot to the quiet corner with the dunce's hat please. Never repeat never to be given the microphone in adult viewing hours. Opposition hyperbole watch Adelaide has a worldwide reputation for cultural events such as the Adelaide Festival, classic wines and the saviour faire of its people. Yet at the high theatre of the Adelaide Oval. The audience is proletarian and 'the players' are second rate provincial actors. In the last act after the adjudicators reversed the holding the ball decision in the goal square. Up steps Connor Rozee with all the sincerity of a cloak room Lago. Struts centre stage with the self-conglatory aplomb of a bantam rooster to mass applause of the proletariat. Give him the golden banjo. (Wasn't that Tamworth?) Overall comment Can't readily recall a match where the team goal kicking performance was so exemplary. Given the heat of the contest in a closely fought match. Plus the degree of difficulty over distance and crowd hostility. Ultimately kicked the lights out in Port Adelaide. Now on to a quick recovery before taking on the sanctimonious Chardonnay sippers set.

Kicked the lights out tonight. Port were manic Helter Skelter. Demons more measured Here Comes the Sun.

joeboy - tripping night fantastic some inspired triplets tonight. Some Milton would be proud of or are sword and sandal movies being revived in Rundleland? eg. Gawn - an Herculean performance so apt Chandler - courageous and clever bandages flapping in the breeze gives that ambulant epic look. Viney- blood and guts now that was an Epic! El Langdon watch; yes young Ed is very much on track covering post to post. Just slightly perplexed by; Hore - limited but impressive skills wise or ToG%? Definitely not lacking ticker.

Beg to differ on May’s performance/presence in the 2021 Grand Final. Definitely not a cardboard cutout, gave his fellow defenders and teammates a great deal of confidence. Had ‘Astroboy’ and his teammates totally bluffed. He was still standing 24 hours after the final siren.

Fingers crossed for a more coherent performance from Casey come Sunday. A few guys will be racking up some Velocity points returning from being standby emergencies in Adelaide. Valentine and Kai Windsor named in the emergencies too. May get a call up in due course. Will be watching Oliver Sestan’s and AMW’s performances with a degree of interest.

Is the Karma Bus still running? Probably gets you there at half-time.

May have returned to the VAFA Old Haileyburians. Season not getting started in B section until 13/04/2024.

This may surprise some. In horse racing parlance, Young Laurie is what is known in the industry as a wet track specialist. So keep an eye 👁️ on the form guide and the BOM weather report. Ensure some of your powder is dry for that special day. Some blokes are a slow 🔥 burn.
