My team has been sh1t for many seasons and I've said this MANY times - Playing forward in such a woeful side makes it horrible to try and lead and take marks. Give the bloke a break FFS. Ablett, Dunstall and Lockett wouldn't kick a goal in Adelaide's forward line at the moment.

Do you think dropping you CHF helps the side win next week?


Rubbish. Didn't say he should be dropped as I'm well aware they have nobody else but he needs to compete a hell of a lot better.

Chuck him in defence perhaps?

He is a liability, some of his efforts once the ball hit the ground yesterday were nothing short of embarrassing. If they're not picking Gibbs simply because of the list/age profile then they can't keep picking Walker and be taken seriously while Himmelberg is sitting in the stands. Nicks will win more fans if he makes the decision to drop Walker, he'll lose it if he keeps playing him. Instead of Lynch being the link man, the fourth tall on the highest line of attack he's having to play the CHF role because Walker is so far off the pace it isn't funny.

One that also stood out was Talia, his body language was that of someone who wasn't enjoying life on the football field at all.

Hamill does indeed look a player but I don't hold much hope for Murphy or Poholke going forward.
PAFC. Forever.

Hardwick just confirmed Prestia & Nankervis have syndesmosis injuries and will “miss some time”, Cotchin pinged a hamstring and Lynch broke a finger & possibly a bone in his hand.


The breakthrough win sure came at a cost.

Chuck in Astbury out for a month from last week & Houli/Edwards staying in Vic going to be a different looking lineup next week.

Rated Balta in the back lines yesterday but there are going to be some nervous times ahead watching him bolt out of the back lines with ball in hand.
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

Tin foil hat time but its a remarkable coincidence that the bloke sooking most about travelling interstate has done a “low grade hamstring” that will keep him out for 2-3 weeks

considering he wasnt icing up and was seen laughing and smiling on the bench with the tracksuit on, might be onto something there.
I think Richmond have put this season away.

We hear it nearly every year yet even the Essendon side full of top up players won a couple of games. Crows will probably play 5 or 6 in a row at home and will probably pinch one or two.

Was bound to happen, all umpires are egotistical control freaks.
In a completely unrelated matter, i wonder if Booley has ever umpired? ;)

Cotch boarded the plane to the GC today in case you were wondering MW. By all reports was still laughing & smiling if that's allowed.

One of the commentators said last Thursday he thought the Saints were a genuine contender for the flag. he also said he thought there were about 8 with a big chance, he didn't rattle any other teams off though.

I still think the Bulldogs are a dark horse, poor start but sneaking under the radar now.
