He kicked 3 in the corresponding game last year. We really do go about making the Crows look like superstars.

Nah, they exposed you for the crud side you are, credit where it's due. Walsh dusting off the cobwebs was your only positive.

The Crows seriously, are not any better than us. We made them look like superstars last year and we did again. We were outcoached and outplayed again tonight.

I was just reading a stat, that at Adelaide Oval before tonight, we had a % of 45.66 with 4 100pt defeats in 6 games. We just do not play well here.

McLachlan revealed to 3AW on Friday morning that the initial plan was to hold Gather Round in different parts of the country.

But after an incredible build-up and electric opening to the nine-game weekend, McLachlan suggested it would be tough to move the round away from Adelaide.

“If I’m direct, we anticipated moving it next year if it worked … but Adelaide just feels the right spot,” McLachlan told 3AW.

“One of the things that I guess we hadn’t contemplated – we knew about the city and the Adelaide Oval and the suburban venues and the accessibility – but the fact it’s in the middle of Australia and people can drive from Melbourne, you can get here from Perth pretty easily – there’s so many Western Australians here and people from everywhere – that’s an asset as well.

“I think there’s a pretty strong case to support that probably it’s got its roots down here and needs to be here for a while.”

The AFL on Friday morning announced all nine games had been sold out, with the last remaining tickets to the Swans-Tigers clash snapped up overnight.

If that was to eventuate I reckon it would be worth investing in a game down Victor and up in the Barossa. Lincoln would be good but a little far away for fans.

Port Lincoln won't have a suitable ground shortly if local news reports are to be believed.

Can't find a curator for the turf cricket pitch at Centenary Oval. If the don't find one by September they are going to rip it up at put a concrete one in. AFL ain't going to like that!

Went to the pub and it's packed, Suns fan inside, Freo fan outside.
