spirit of norm smith

Huge week. Gather round. The AFL copy of the NRL magic round in Brisbane. But it does spark up Adelaide and gives a vibe. Trac’s carnival cooking show probably will be the highlight. I will kick start. The Bloods culture … blah blah blah. Apparently so revered. So what’s the go with Sam Wicks. And to quote Damo ‘Sam Wicks was given a club-imposed one-week break for “who knows?” Some off field romantic dramas. Damo correctly states “if he was one of the Swans’ top-five rated players, would he have been given the break? In sports selection vernacular, he was expendable. The break has ended, and no senior team recall’. Ah yes. The mighty Bloods culture is fallible. anyway Essendon Edge on show tonight? Let’s see.

Yes on 4-5 occasions Dees were grabbed high and no free. Howes, Kozzy and Clarry to name 3 obvious ones missed.

Last night I think it’s almost unanimous that the votes are headed by Trac. For me it’s likely to be 3 C.Petracca 2 J.Dawson - yes the umps were so crows biased, he will steal 2 votes 😡 1 M.Gawn May or Lever or Mcvee could vote but backline players mostly get ignored so after 5 games, likely Gawn to have between 6-8 votes, Trac also on 6-8votes and Clarry 2-3 votes.

He has to apologize. I think should be graded as Careless, high contact, low impact … it’s a fine. But it’s kozzzy so one week.

Agree but thought he tired badly with a dodgy knee. Had 3 disposals in whole 2nd half. Played 100 minutes and most of 2nd half.

Next time we have a 5 day break, Goodwin needs to consider more players to rotate. Chandler looked 50% but soldiered on. Billings could have been subbed out. I think AMW or Tholstrup could have got the debut game tonight.

Dees might try looking at a skilled runner with a left foot sharp delivery. Salem is starting to lack the zip, misses targets, goes slow and takes short sideways options.

Joeboy. 👏👏👏 Take the win !! Played 3 quarters. Bank 4 points Umps killed us Trac was best May so courageous Tired in last Lever the rock BBB physical wreck Fritta nailed goals

6 May for courage so brave 👏👏👏👏👏👏 5 Trac for giving 100% all night 👏👏👏👏👏 4 Mcvee. Steady under pressure 👏👏👏👏 3 Lever. A rock all night 👏👏👏 2 Fritsch Played 15 minutes and kicked 3 crucial goals 👏👏 1 Gawn A soldier A leader 👏 Apologies to Windsor 👍🏻Riv 👍🏻Sparrow 👍🏻and Tmcd 👍🏻 others were well down in my view 🤡🤡🤡umps. Free kicks 21-9 in favour of crows 🤡🤡Kozzy oh no oh no 🤡goalkicking was woeful just woeful 🤡JVR dropped 9 marks !!!

JVR. Hold a mark !!

Not really. Lots of passengers !!!

Dees playing fuc@)&d all night really soft game too defensive Crows actually dominated them !!! 10.17 !!!

Best. Trac. Mcvee. Riv. May. Gawn Lever and now just lots of average games.

Billings. Elite kick ?? Hardly on tonight’s efforts. Serious yips. Dees should be 8 goals up , not 4.

Billings can be subbed AGAIN

Yes to May and Max BBB is 🤡🤡🤡

Sorry yes Mcvee is BOG so far !!!

Kozzzy thinks it’s the 1980s. Someone has to tell him that times have changed. Two weeks at least 🤢🤢🤢🤢

Best. May. Windsor. Gawn. Trac. Brown not a touch Fritsch chasing shadows others are seriously down tonight umps are 🤢🤢🤡🤡🤡🤢🤡🤢🤡🤡

Oliver. 3 kicks. 2 scrubbers. Way off tonight 😭😭😭😭😭

Fumbles turnovers missed tackles losing contests losing clearance ummmm. WTF was that quarter

Geordie Payne was definitely unlucky to miss out. He’d be one to watch. I think he showed some Trent Rivers/Zac Bailey type intensity around the footy. I think I’ll call it some “electricity”. Maybe the future Tassie plans put clubs off these lower ranked Tassie youngsters (couldn’t ignore the elites like Mckercher and Sanders) when compared to a local youngster. The other is Ben Hopkins. This weekend SANFL V VFL game might show a player who could be a handy mid year addition.

We got him the win.🤩🤩🤩 Windsor has been super impressive. Uses his pace to accelerate. Ran between opponents and kicked from 50. 👏👏👏

Yes I thought the Kolt might get his chance this week with Chin being doubtful.

Danger man. Rankine. Typically all duck and no dinner but he has good form v Dees. Mcvee to get the job.
