Norm Smith's Curse

186 here we come... Well done guys. Nice to show your making an extra effort for a club champion's last game...

Frawley!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder what Dean Bailey is thinking in the Adelaide coaching box. Look what they have done to my old side? Or keep a low profile I left this mess??

Some poor defensive positioning but smashed in the midfield... Scotty Thompson what might have been...

Blease if you please... Bit of agro from Bail.

Frawley in the wrong spot.

Dee-lightful...

Poor choices and disposal. Spencer, Bail and Nicholson

Anyone got a feed?

Stats are pretty even - uncontested posession is in our favour but turnovers are killing us.

Frawley and Trengove just arent close to where they were last year. Wonder why...

Who is the sub again?

Yeah Blease has done a bit - tackle on Scott Thompson was a cracker. Bail just cant seem to kick straight. It has to sink in eventually doesnt it?

I think he needs confidence. I think underneith he has the talent.

Slowing up now. Tappscott will come back hopefully as he seems to be alright today

Seeing some good signs. What comments have people got on Jordie's disposal?

Whether various players stay or go depends a lot on whether they play their role, rather than show superstar qualities for many.

Martin's +'s: good athelite, composure and kicking accuracy. Martin's -'s: form up and down and has had trouble breaking in the side this year although injuries have taken their tole. The thing that always worried me about Martin was that when he kicked into the forward 50 and hit up a target he seemed surprised...

Who has stepped up today? Bail and Tappscott. Anyone got a feed because the radio is confusing when i have kids screaming at me.

All the Caddy doubters should think again. His brother was a viking and if he has that kind of heart he will be merciless in time and like Tappscott with better midfield skills

Was that Tappscott that kicked to Green?

Sydney's recruiters tend to suggest that the talent often seems to come ouf of the pick 6 to pick 16

would have loved to be there today for Greenie's last. For me he is the last of the Daniher brigade and better times as far as the club was performing. The end of an era.

Ive seen Davis play a few times and he looked ok to me. Bigger bodied than many of the up-and-comers on our list. Jai you rarely hear about on these forums and it surprises me because he has shown a bit at Casey.

But using that argument, the club and the sport are based on the passion of the members who are emotionally invested. If you burn a supporter base you better expect some pretty unkind and emotional responses. I dont think anyone here is claiming they wouldnt take the job or the coin. they are complaining about how it was done and they are complaining because the members are what runs the club - the sport is run on the emotional attachment of the supporters.
