Try telling that to an Adelaide fan last year. One poor umpire decision cost them a spot in the finals Yes, yes, someone will say they shouldn't have left the finals spot up to one kick. Nevertheless that goal umpire knocked them out of finals contention

AFL manufactured result Every year there's an AFL favoured team, in 21 it was us, last year clearly the Pies Blues this year Will be interesting to see who gets the rub when they play GWS or GCS

Didn't know it existed until now. Surprised it gets any attention, though this smacks of clickbait desperation
-
Exactly If Derm's intellect is an example of a player who never took a backward step, then I'm perfectly OK if Clarry pulls short of a contest where theres a high chance he's either suspended or knocked out.

Was he AA form? Very good player, but not AA imo I'd say the role of a winger has changed/developed over the last couple of years. Without stats, I'd say Ed's prob still covering similar kms, but is doing more defensive link work. He's a ripper for getting into position for zone set ups, all the stuff that they love internally, but doesn't get proper recognition outside. Our i50s have changed this year with Salo, Billings and even Windsor getting more involved. What a find Windsor has been!

It's part of the narrative of middle-aged ex footballers chest beating about the 70s, 80s and 90s glory days by nit picking current players

The cost were small compared to non survival, which is we were faced with. No point looking a gift horse in the mouth

Still, he put in more dosh than anyone else ever has, by far. And at a time when the well was bone dry in terms of club finances. There was sweet fa chance of us being able to finance the Olympic swimming pool redevelopment. Also worth remembering the Olympic park running track (now Pies training oval) wasn't part of the original plan, it came later due to Eddie's 'coercion'

What about 'Biffen's Brewhouse' and it only serves XXXX?

You'd probably like a pineapple ring, some pickles and smashed avo as well. Double beef, double bacon too Spare nothing

Jeffo had one good quarter at Casey and was average for the rest of the game. Took some good marks but kicked poorly. Should've had 5 Needs to start showing he's consistently more than VFL level. Very early days, but it would be fair to say that BBB won't play every game this year and an opportunity will come knocking at some point if Jeffo is ready

Yes, I have been critical of the fumbling, costly turnovers and inability to keep his feet at times in the past. This year ANB has largely removed that and his confidence has soared. Has always been good with pressure acts and tackling, now he's super clean and efficient. Keep it up and he's a big part of us going deep into Sept Good on him and long may this form continue. Speaks very well, a clear leader, reckon he may go into coaching after another couple of flags as a player

Wasn't it two pick in the teens for Lever? That's a steal If Adelaide gave us their '24 and '25 first for Petty we'd be well on top. They are bottom 6 rubbish But I'd much rather he stayed and signed on again. His value to us as a team is huge
-
Worth noting the top end talent available at Pick 9 Appart from Curnow and McKay x 2, there was Hipwood, Dan Rioli, HHimmelberg, Doedee, Gresham, Burton, Ben Keays, Josh Dunkley, Blake Hardwick, Jordan Dawson and Nate Broad But that's hindsight for ya! Not even Jason Taylor is perfect!
-
He was their best forward against us a few weeks ago. Had a good game
-
Trading for Bryce Gibbs was always a big gamble 😉
-
My bad, Mitchell Thanks nitpicker
-
You'd have many of those, ET 😎😎😎

Curnow was seen as getting onto trouble too much, which is typical pre-draft smoke and mirrors. McKay brothers were always seen as top end talent. I was surprised with the Weid selection, particularly given the (now justified) hype of Curnow and the McKay twins
